A lovely hostel. The staff are kind and friendly- but not in an overbearing way. They'll help you if you ask, but don't seem to go out of their way to be sociable or help travellers mingle. Whilst I had a great experience, the lack of organised activities could mean that solo travellers feel a little isolated; you really need to make things happen yourself. The subway station is very close by and it's only a few stops to both KLCC and Sentral. Plus Chinatown and Cenral Market are a 10 min walk.

great hostel but the air conditioning from the 4bed female room was awful. We've got a cold after our staying here.

Excellent. Very peaceful hostel but right in the middle of things. Best night sleep in a while thanks to the awesome mattresses. It is a haven in a crazy city. Recommended.

Location couldnt be better! Great atmosphere, very friendly, able to mingle with people, and yet large enough you can have quiet time to yourself. very clean. the dorms are great with a giant personal locker, as well as in your bunk bed a tiny cupboard, plug, reading light. Staff are a little run off their feet all the time, but from my experience only cause they try so hard to do the most for everyone.

hostel is in a bit of a dodgy area, wouldn't walk around at night by myself. but real close to Chinatown with lots of food options, train is two streets away and a short ride to Sentral station.

Excellent staff, and was nice enough to buy some of the guests food. I really enjoyed my stay as I was able to meet a lot of great people here. The theatre room could use a bit better ventilation but was ok once the AC was turned on (you have to ask the staff!). Beds were more comfortable than the one 'back home' and facilities were very clean. Rooms are bigger than what you would expect so that is definitely a welcoming thing. Laundry service was cheap and fast. I will stay here again!

Very recommended hostel. I really like the atmosphere, rooms and bathrooms are clean, nice showers, staffs are friendly and helpful. Bed room has plenty of space and huge lockers. Noises from outside could be heard especially when those loud buses passing by. I just wish to have more tables and chairs for guests to sit in which could be put on the second floor where I saw some unused spaces.

A really great hostel, one of the best I have stayed in while traveling through South East Asia. The staff were very helpful and the rooms and bathroom were spotless.
