My review might be a bit biased as the one night i spent here was with the most beautiful Air Asian air hostess i met in the reggae bar not far from here ;) This gem is in a nice central location in Chinatown. It's a smallish place, located above a bar ran by the same owner, a great guy... More

I didn't actually stay here but the rooms are pretty good (: I just drank at the bar but this is my favourite memory of Kuala Lumpur!! We stumbled across here by accident and spent most of the night singing drinking and dancing with the most FANTASTIC bar man Francis. What a great bloke :) pop in for a drink... More

Stayed in Monkee-Inn twice during my travels through Asia. It's in the heart of China Town and I would definitely recommend it if you just need a place to throw your bags down and a place to lay your head for the night. It is a 2 minute walk to Petaling Street Market - spent many ringet here!! It's quite... More

Monkee Inn is a good Guesthouse to stay in KL. Close night market and food stalls on street outside 24/7. Also close to train station. 25 dorm room was airconditioned, with safety storage (you need your own locker) but had only 2 toilets + showers. However, when we stayed there there were only about 6 people in the 25 bed... More

For a guest house standard, Monkee is just okay. Strategic and convenient location with lots of eateries nearby. The double room is partitioned room by PVC, thus the sound insulation may not be so good. The air-cond did not work very well, which caused us had a less comfortable sleep. However, the room and shared bathroom was clean enough, with... More

Nice location on jln Sultan, lots of food outside. Simple but clean room. Free computers/wifi and tea and toast for breakfast. Cheap. Staff is friendly, but it's not a place to remember in particular for its amazing atmosphere. The bar is quite cool. All in all, a decent budget option for accomodation in KL.

Breakfast included in the bar downstairs, basic but nice enough. Coffee tea toast jams peanut butter banana bread. Located in Chinatown where you can buy fake clothes, bags, DVDs etc. Walking distance to... More
