    The staff and cleaness

    My first transaction declined but the money was taken from the account the bank is saying the reversal should be done from your side.

    8Orin-ChanelPosted on: 7-20-2025

    The best aspect of this place is how close it is to NuSentral and KL Sentral stations. You can take a short walk and get anywhere in the city on any line. I booked a private room and it reduced the chance that others would disturb from moving around or being noisy. Luggage storage service was easy and reliable.

    Don't expect anything more than the basics. As long as you set your expectations understand: the room lighting is bad, there are no "views", the bed mattress was thin, the rooftop space was run down and not well kept, the shower water is cold, the internet is so/so, and the kitchen sink nook is small and disorganized. You want a budget stay, you will get it here.

    The staff was super friendly and helpful. Great location next to the mall and bus stop.

    The bed sheets and the blanket was dirty… There was only couple toilets which is not much for such a big amount of guests.

    10FlorPosted on: 4-22-2025

    Clean room and clean amenities. Very good shower. Friendly staff and good location.

    8Wen-LiPosted on: 4-20-2025

    Clean and nice location, friendly staff.

    Not really bothered, but the light in the bedroom is a bit dark, and no curtain on bed.

    7Robert E.Posted on: 4-15-2025

    Good location - 5-10 min walk from Sentral Bathrooms are clean Cafe is nice in the morning!

    Bedroom walls are paper thinNot great value for money or that comfy

    Very friendly staff, overall nice vibe with an amazing view from the rooftop

    10MSHPPosted on: 3-16-2025

    I like the place. Really near to the city center. All transportation (MRT, LRT, and so on) are available and really close to the hotel. Also, all the traditional food really good without doubt. Really a good experience for me especially, 2 days staying at Malaysia really unforgettable moment for me!

    2SebastianPosted on: 3-2-2025

    Its close to Central station.

    Dirty.No toilet paper. Air conditioner not enougth.People offering thing in the room.Not the best location to move during nigth.Lobby open at 8AM but only if the receptionist want, because one day I have to wait until 9:30AM.The toilet was wet and I slipped really bad.Lift dirty and doesnt work properly.

    10EmanuelPosted on: 3-1-2025

    Convenient location, clean and silent. Hot water and good wifi. The staff was really nice and helpful, giving tips for public transportation and points of interest. The dorms might not be modern but they are comfortable.

    I would suggest providing a towel to every guest.

    2NikolayPosted on: 2-14-2025

    Good location near city hub of transportation Rooftop with nice view

    Many things First if you just give electronic key for self check in insure that door have a sign where is written number of the door I with another tenants was finding that doorThe bed was amazing uncomfortable on upper bed right above me was fan just 1 meter, no curtains if even light is turned off beam of light was from socket I don’t know why this hostel have good rating

    10KeiPosted on: 2-2-2025

    Affordability, friendliness and the simplicity of hostel concept. And it's also a travel sustainable hotel and near to KL sentral.

    8LeopoldPosted on: 1-21-2025

    The receptionist seemed pretty cool and spoke good English. It's located walking distance from the central station and a mini Hawker Center. The showering was really comfortable, as it was spacious and gave a lot of water. There is a cosy roof terrace to hang out at where from a specific point, you can even see the 2nd biggest building in the world!!The sleeping room offers a lot of space to pack and unpack.

    The beds are basically just cheap plain wood frames without curtains, which does the job, but doesn't offer any privacy. There are no locks provided for the lockers.

    6KamilPosted on: 1-7-2025

    friendly stuff and good location.

    terrible beds, uncomfortable

    7HajimePosted on: 1-2-2025

    I booked one night in 16-beds dorm so that I can store my backpack secured and take a shower before taking a late night flight from KUL, so I didn’t actually sleep here. For this purpose this hostel was perfect in terms of location and price.

    The number of toilets and showers seemed not enough.

    3SheroukPosted on: 12-21-2024

    The location is awesome very close to kl sentral station

    The hostel is not so clean, it’s also not social and alot of people make noise , it’s not a good choice for solo travelers, there is almost no one you can speak with
