The Santo Inn

The place wasn't far from Jonker street. The owner was friendly. But the room was smaller then expected, my friend and I shared a luggage and that 1 luggage literally took half of the empty space, I suggest you to clean up the space before you sleep if you don't want to step on your things in the middle of the night or in the morning. My room was at the ground floor, the other side of the room was a street gallery and tourist tends to visit the place, the window wasn't sound proof and I couldn't sleep any later than 9am because it was too noisy from the outside on the day time

Okay I'm only commenting on the laundry service here. The signage outside/inside gives the impression that the hotel has a 24 hour self service laundry. It hasn't and I found the young guy who ran it a bit off hand (maybe he was having a bad day), clothes though were returned clean and on the same day - no complaints there. I would just say it's probably helpful in future to let people know you won't be there 24/7 and maybe take into account when it's torrential rain people may be a bit reluctant to come out and pick up nice, clean dry clothes.

Now named the Monkey Motel. The place is a little tough to locate if you are going for the old name. Place is located on Jalan Kasturi off the Jonker Street. My room was very spartan. But then again, I only 10 dollars for it. It was just a small room with a queen bed and very little space other than that. The bathrooms were not attached. Overall, the room the was clean and so were the bathrooms. The facility was also quite clean as I felt no problems in leaving my laptop in the room. The hotel locks down after 10PM, but the owner gives you a key to the main door. No problems at all. I was travelling alone so it was quite convenient and suited my budget. The location is very good and you close to all places of interest. Do check out the nightlife around. It is quite interesting.
