Nice and cosy guesthouse in the centre of KL. Clean facilities and friendly and helpful staff! Really good restaurants and hawkers as well as huge shopping mall and Petronas Towers in walking distance. Get a Tiger on the veranda and just chill and soak in the atmosphere :)

When we were there the owner herself partyed with us! At least i think she is one of the owners. Place is situated nearby bus depot, little bit aside in the chaotic labyrint of KL streets. We liked the area though, lot of street food places, nearby nightlife. Room we got was maybe a meter away from the reception and... More

Stayed here for a week with my girlfriend as we were travelling Asia, and this is what we experienced: + Staff is amazing. There were two guys manning the reception at all times in shifts. They were both equally helpful, and fun in their own way. Their English was way better than expected, and they would answer any questions you... More

Tropical Guesthouse is located on Tengkat Tong Shin, just off Bukit Bintang (a major shopping area of KL) and next to Jalan Alor (a great street for sampling Chinese cuisine). It's easy to find - the facade is striking - and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, I'm not sure I'd stay again. I've stayed in loads of places... More

Location is great. Rooms are small, but clean. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Owner is also very friendly and informative. She likes to spend time sitting outside with the guests, which i found its great! This place is also great place to meet other travelers. I always stay there when i travel alone.

Tropical Guesthouse has a great location and decent accomodations. The location is really spectacular - close to the monorail, the Pavilion, and lots of the best bars and restaurants in KL. There are tons of street food stalls around as well. I was uninspired by the rooms, which are small and have one outlet - ours didn't work, which was... More

Good location and cozy room. Very near to Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle and a lot of food stalls around the guesthouse. Kept me wait for the check in. Hope they can improve on that one. The sexy room is good, well decorated and clean but just near to the bathroom and store so there are some people making noise around... More
