Hostel Cosmopolitan Reviews

We arrived at night and found the room was filled with bed bugs. They are contagious and I am allergic to them and was put in the hospital two years ago from my allergy. I told the manager this, and he put us in a room that he said had "Less complaints" and after I inspected for 1 minute found that the room was also infested. He then put us in his most expensive room that was free of bed bugs, but all the the guests said every other room was infested.

BED BUGS! (0% rating) Larger and smarter than other bed bugs, leaving blood stains on the sheets. Through no fault of the management, what is IN EVERY OTHER RESPECT A GREAT HOSTEL has been ruined. A personal friend of the owner heard us discuss the issue and said that he would make sure the owner is informed. I hope we will soon hear this problem is FULLY RESOLVED. Until then, NO ONE SHOULD STAY HERE, because these bugs WILL get into your luggage, only to SPREAD THE PROBLEM to other hostels

Got bed lice.....badly! Didn't notice it till the next day once we were itchy. They switched us rooms the next night and that's all they did. Not my best experience in a hostel....I've stayed in worse places in Indonesia with no bed bugs but this place seemed to be in decent shape. I got absolutely chewed on though!

Nice people. Terrible place. Basically a good location for local workers to stay. But they were helpful nice people.

our 4bed dorm had no window. There is an ok common area with a Tv and PCs, wifi and an uncomfortable sofa. Bathrooms are clean. Not a bad place (have been to worse), what we really hated was the stench in the room!!

Everything was clean and worked well. The walls are covered in information about things to do which was great. Costs about $4 to get from the airport. Everything is easily accessible by public transport.

Very close to Chow Kit station, so very easy to get around. Showers were clean and there was an area to watch DVDs too. Also, free internet which was a plus. Doesn't look much from the outside, but is great for just few nights stay in KL.

Big cockroach on the wall on arrival, but never saw it afterwards. Overall the place is decent for the money you pay, it is close to the monorail station and the chow kit markets, but the lobby lacks any character, the rooms are very much not clean, and the beds are springy and too short (for reference I'm 1.86m and I had trouble) though I do think the beds themselves are pretty clean. Showers are good. Dorm has no windows, so lighting goes from pitch black to bright very often.

Nothing is for free in this world, especially not in this hostel! You want a blanket? You pay! you need some toilet paper?you pay!you want....?...! Cleanliness: I slept in a bed, which was smelly and I'm pretty sure that they didn't change the covers of pillow and bed! Asking the staff they said they change, but no way...I was lucky just to have two nights there, covered by shirts and towels and not by an expensive blanket! Sorry guys, but that's no human standards and I've seen a lot...

The hostel is better in the pictures than in reality. We stayed in a double room with no windows but good air con. Difficult to communicate in English with the staff. I would recommend to spend a little more money and stay in another place.

Not what it used to be. Went there in 2010 and had a blast. They had redecorated the reception and common areas and there weren't ever anyone there. I only met big groups of long stayers

Great stay. Terima Kasih!

Decent hotel, the location is really good, it'sa minute away from the monorail station and you can get to the center in like 10 minutes. As mentioned before, no lock on the doors which feels kind of weird, and there are no towels or blankets provided. The rooms were clean, staff was cool and there were plenty of showers/toilers. I'd probably stay here again when I'm back in KL

This place sounds cheap at face value, but once you've rented a towel and a blanket, plus buying toilet paper that they don't provide, it ends up costing you more than some other places. The location isn't terrible, but it's not great either. The staff leaves something to be desired. The wifi doesn't work on the third floor. The communal computers in the lobby are constantly occupied by several guys watching YouTube videos of Indian and Pakistani music videos. I don't anticipate returning.

the place is close to the Monorail station, yet quite difficult to find at first. There is an Indian cuisine cafe in the adjacent building, quite cheap yet a bit noisy. The free Internet cafe round the corner I suddenly came across on my second day of stay added good impression to that place. The only drawback is that the district was not clean enough.

Great little hostel. Not much in Chow Kit but its right near the lrt station and about 30 mins walk to China Town. Loved the facilities. You can't lock the dorm room doors which sucks abut but you can use a locker. Would stay again!

I love the location which is easy to reach. Something about the facilities and the cleanliness need to be improve.. It would be great if there is breakfast as well because most travelers would not go out early in the morning to get breakfast, with an adjustment to the price.. and that would be perfect as perfect as I first stayed there. Overall it is still good place to stay at when we travel..

Located in authentic Malay area, u get to see many things u dont see in the over-commercialized areas in KL. They offer many types of discounts for tours & room rates if you talk to them directly. Extremely clean hostel, but maybe not so outside the hostel. and lots of local & western food available. 7-Eleven 24 hrs just next door. Beds are comfortable with extremely hot showers available. Muhamad the owner is great guy too, lots of insider info. Talk to him guys.

The location is a little bit out of the way if you ask me. and for 25rm a night its not really that good value. I would and did pay a little extra and stay in A Mansion type hostel (I am not naming any but if you have a look around you will find some) The staff where very rude and tried to charge us a whole nights stay for checking in a couple of hours early (Never had this problem before) Had some stuff stolen from here also. 1 keypad lock for all rooms. Not sure how often cod is change.

good hostel for the price you pay, great location, but no keys in the rooms, they have to solve this.
