Orange Pekoe Guesthouse

By Mustachio @mustachio2011
The second time we were in Kuala Lumpur, we let our stomachs decide where we would eat sleep. It picked Orange Pekoe Guesthouse because...it's a fruit! Plus—and this is a big plus—it's just a 5–minute walk from the delicious smells of Jalan Alor, the food street.

We patted our stomachs for a great job of choosing Orange Pekoe Guesthouse:
  • I repeat: Jalan Alor, where all the delicious food is, is just a 5–minute walk away.
  • Raja Chulan Station is also just a 5–minute walk away.
  • From the airport, there are different options to get to the guesthouse:
    • Take the Airport Coach/Bus (10 MYR, 1 hour) to KL Sentral Station. From KL Sentral Station, take the monorail to Raja Chulan Station (2.10 MYR, 20 minutes), and then walk about 5 minutes to the guesthouse.

    • Take the Airport Coach/Bus or KLIA Ekspres Tain to KL Sentral Station. From KL Sentral Station, take a taxi (about 15 MYR, 15 minutes) to the guesthouse.
    • Take a taxi (105 MYR, 1 hour and 15 minutes) straight to the guesthouse.
  • The guesthouse is clean and cozy.
