Had a good stay, best night's sleep in months! Very quiet in our room on the first floor despite being in the city centre. Close to bus and train stations, and good breakfast/coffee in the mornings :)

You have to pay the room per person. So, at the end when you are a couple you have to pay about 20 $. This is definitely too expensive for the room you get. The most of the time, you don't have any windows. The air conditional is a little think which when it works opens a little window which isn't really good to get quietness. Moreover a lot of backpackers arrive during the night, which wake you up. I couldn't sleep at all. Except this, staff is perfect and BF is ok.

Great location, clean room and facilities but poor breakfast (better than nothing :). The atmosphere was not so great and all looked a bit sterile. The staff was very helpful. We are going back!

Nice staff, they give you a lot of information. The rooms are clean and big, and the breakfast room a little bit small but good enough to meet people. Very nice in general.

This was a cute hostel to stay at and it was in a great location. The only complaints would be that the wifi only works in the lobby area and the breakfast is a bit plain. Otherwise, everything was excellent!

Great location, just walking distance for many stuff around and very convenient for transportation to the klcc and others. Cleanliness is also very clear, as you smell nice smell in all the hostel specially in the walkway between rooms. Simple toast and tea bread but nice for meeting other backpackers. Recommend

Nice hostel to stay in, very close to the subway too. Met some lovely people The rooms were small, I had to squeeze behind the bunk beds to get to my locker which would not open for the first two days I was there. However, whenever I went downstairs they did send someone to fix it. In the end they changed the device and it worked perfectly. Staff were not very welcoming except the man that was sometimes at the reception and one of the cleaners. Walls are thin but no one was loud during my stay.

no sleep, people banging doors all night, shouting in the corridors, people running around shouting to each other, staff did not care, loud music playing in rooms, it was like a teenager dorm......no windows in the room, no natural light or real air......also no air con..........there was a hole in the wall that a fan fitted into, but only came on when the main lights were switched on, i could not breathe for most of the time in the room.........
