Lonely Planet Review

This pleasant hotel, off Jl Masjid India, is starting to show its near-decade of service, but remains a well-run and friendly place to stay. Ask for promotional rates.

There's a bit of bonsai elegance at Garden City Hotel: chandeliers are low enough to touch and comfy wicker chairs crowd the ground floor cafe. Although clean and comfortable, some of the hotel's 74 rooms are slightly smudgy around the walls, and the TV/radio consoles are not exactly state of the art (they're more Soviet State). That said, Garden City is run by an army of green-clad staff who keep linen crisp and don't keep requests waiting. Many rooms look on to trees lining the busy street and there's a rooftop garden with a view to the KL skyline, so it isn't Garden City by name only. The aforementioned cafe serves all meals as well as high tea on occasions.
