We got private room in this hostel. It had no window but that didnt bother us. A/C was dripping down the wall and the smell in the room was musty and mouldy. Location was ok few stops on the monorail from sentral or bukit nanas to go to the twin towers. Its cheap and a very secure place. I like that they take off shoes entering the hostel quite clean. Owner wasnt very helpful. markets and shops outside. Good choice for a peaceful clean and secure few nights stay in KL

After a long flight, what we were faced was a nightmare. The walls were very thin that I was afraid to lean against them. Water pressure was not high enough and my friend had almost stuck to the wall to take a shower (however became better at night). The hostel isn't in the heart of the city but very close to chow kit monorail station. After our complain the manager accepted to refund our money and helped us to find a suitable place. We found Orchid Inn hotel for 88RM per night instead near imbi

A very comfortable place to stay! You couldn't drink in the hostel which is a bit of a drag, but everything else was great. Especially liked the staff.

Can definitely reccomend! Eventhough it is located a bit away from the city center, the staff is very nice and helpful, will provide you with information and maps. There is a noticeboard in the main hall with many pictures and all necessary information about trips, transport, photos concerning the whole Malaysia and a lot more! Worth the money you pay!

The hostel is located in what at first seems like a bit of a rough neighborhood but is really not. Bein so close to monorail (chow kit stop) helps a lot gettin around the city and i was able to walk to all the major attractions (petronas towers, KL tower, Little India, China Town etc without breaking more than the usual humid KL sweat. The rooms AC was brilliant (I stayed in double private AC) and cold shower on suite was fabulous. Staff very friendly and welcoming and always willing to help.

The no window room felt like a hot humid cave at times. Air-con made the room extremely cold. So-so clean. But staff was great as we arrived 7hrs late (4.30 in the morning) due to snow in Britain. Our taxi driver phoned ahead and woke up the hostel owner who got up and checked us in. Highly appreciated and we're thankful for that! Cool area with food markets and some cheap eateries. Quiet hostel with no drinking so for a backpacker looking for a party places this is not for them.

Nice area, not to touristic. Aircon rooms without windows, but not to small. Friendly staff, different places to eat and easy to go to the airport.

Prices are good, so it was only have to stay for a few nights, it's a pretty good place. Small food market just out the door! My girlfriend got a pretty bad pain in her back due to too soft and old mattress with hard springs inside which lasted for about a week though, so be warned and check your bed if possible! (I was alright).

I checked in only at 1am and they waited for me. Also, despite being very late, the staff was very helpful in providing guide of how to get around. The service is excellent! Was advised to upgrade into an a/c room because I didn\'t notice the really cheap room I booked has no a/c. Couldn\'t decide so the staff brought me around to take a look at the different rooms. Tho the room wasn\'t that cold for the night ( attribute it to the fact it was late and I didn\'t know how to adjust the temperature), I was

The hostel is located quite far from the downtown and you will rely on public transport however. the room rates were not really cheap when i was staying there even though with free breakfast because i still could get decent rate in Bukit Bintang which is in the downtown.

Apparently the walls are thin (sorry, dude). Security: coded door, great, staff is present when not locked. Location: seedy, but right next to monorail that goes directly to train station. Also within 10-minute walk of train to Batu Caves. Staff was nice,a family, a bit distant at times, but helpful. Lots of showers and toilet stalls. Room was small but mostly clean, had A/C, and Wifi. This hostel is a little pricey, but I don't know about other KL hostels. There was also a cat! :]
