Choosing hotel location to spend the nights during your holidays will have an impact on your itinerary. During our stay in KL, we stayed near Chinatown. The location is crowded but many major tourist attractions are accessible by foot. Buses and train terminals are also walking distance from the hotel. Hotel is small and simple but cheap and clean.

Chinatown, based in Petaling Street, is undoubtedly one of the most popular tourist spots in Malaysia. It is well-known bargain hunter’s paradise; a place where you can find all sorts of stuff from Souvenir Items, Chinese herbs to imitation goods. At night, Petaling Street, transforms into a lively and vibrant night market, filled with hundreds of stalls offering all kinds of goods at cheap prices. The best thing about it is that the prices can still be lowered as haggling is the way of life here.

Located along Jalan Hang Kasturi – only a few minutes away from Petaling Street – is the renowned Central Market. Also known as Pasar Seni, this market is one of Kuala Lumpur’s most familiar landmarks as well as a popular tourist attraction. n the area you will find many international fast food restaurants, souvenir shops and street vendors.


Sultan Abdul Samad Building is a complex built during the British times that houses the Courts House. It is topped by a shiny copper dome and a 40m high clock tower, dubbed 'Big Ben'. The building sits in front of the Independence Square, Merdeka Square. This is about 10 mins walk from Chinatown. Close to the the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, you have one of the nicest skyscrapers in KL, the Dayabumi Complex.
