Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Rain Forest Hotel is conveniently located near Petaling Street and the Pasar Seni LRT and MRT station, making it easy to explore Kuala Lumpur. Guests appreciate the air-conditioned rooms, with many noting how well they slept thanks to the dark and quiet environment created by the lack of windows in most rooms; although, some found the absence of windows unfamiliar. The rooftop lounging area is also a popular spot, and the availability of complimentary coffee, tea, and toast in the morning is a plus.

amazing rainforest getaway!

great location friendly staff

this hotel's location is superb! i walked to chinatown and many inner-city spots with such ease. plus, grab rides to major attractions were only about 15 minutes away, so convenient. the friendly staff and very nice value for the price made it a winner for me!

the leaking ac really bothered me. finding some little creepy crawlies on the blanket was unsettling. i squashed them right away, but it was still not the best feeling.

cheap mattress loud club

The mattress felt very cheap. I could feel the springs. there was no soundproofing! and the loud club nearby blasted music until late. the toilet was cracked, water leaked every flush. the sink drained slowly. it was all a bit disappointing really

I appreciated the location. It's close to jalan petaling food street and a short walk to train stations.. also, i found many local restaurants and shops nearby. the receptionists were genuinely kind and helpful. a big water bottle was available in the hallway, a great convenience.

the music from a nearby pub was audible until late at night, affecting my sleep a bit.. pillows were not comfortable, they gave me a neck ache.
