Very spacious, clean hostel. The lounge and dining area is comfortable and the rooms are really spacious and clean. The washroom is also very clean. I would definitely come back here. The location is idea- right at Chinatown and close to all city centre attractions.

Excellent hostel! Comfortable beds, nice staff members, good facilities, great location (though the bus stop off the street was quite noisy and disruptive). Definitely would come back if I ever have the chance to visit KL again in the future!

Well situated, 5 minutes walk from pasar seni station. Room with window on the street very noisy. Room in the corridor, ok but you ear people from others rooms. Free computers with internet and free wifi.

I have been backpacking around SE Asia, and by far the best hostel I stayed in and a good value for for its price. The staff were very friendly and helpful (especially when I made an unexpected early arrival at 4am). Wifi is good and the a/c in the corridor was strong enough to keep the rooms very cool and pleasant for sleeping.

Due to the location is excellent ,,, just 1 minute walk to Pasar Seni LRT Station and 1 station through KL Sentral where everything you need is prepared .... the wi-fi is so-so ... not too bad ... can surf in the room .... the toilet and shower facilities are enough for using .... i only stayed 1 night ,, so nothing much to complain :)

Home away from Home. So many facilities which other Hostels cannot match. Complimentary breakfast & unlimited coffee/tea, open kitchen, iron box with table etc.. were all great.

I'm stayed in 1fs Floor. There are 3 or 4 rooms, but the other room is being repaired. So they 've bad smell. But the staffs are very friendly! I'm came in Matahari at 10 pm. The outside is very quiet! So the staff took me to outside to buy somethings. On the whole, everything is good.
