PODs the Backpackers Home Reviews

About a 5~10min walk to the metro, KL Sentral and the bus terminal. No laundry facilities available but nearby there are laundromats for a good price. The rooms are open, I stayed in the female dorm, which is a portioned section of the large mixed dorm with no door. Bed were simple and clean. Shower on the top floor was rather weak, wanted a quick shower but because of the weakness of the water it took a lot longer. Wifi is available, but only on the floor with reception.

Please de-bed bug your mattresses, pillows, sheets, pillow covers, and blanket, thanks.

The hostel is about 5 minutes walk from the KL sentral station. The staff and people living there are very friendly and considerate. The facility needs improvement. It seems there is no locker. And something was wrong with the lift.

The pillow case and mattress sheets are dirty and causes rashes on my body

Ok for transfer to klia or lcct. Near KL sentral so away from sights in KL.

The staff was great and very helpful.. wifi is only available on 1'st floor..

a convenient place,but facilty is not so good enough for the price

This is a great hostel if you have an early morning flight or departure from KL, it is steps away from KL Sentral. However, the one big thing that bothered me is that the common area shuts down at 11.30 (that's where the wifi is) and the lights in the room are turned off at 11pm. I needed to use the Internet to make travel arrangements and there was no place to do it.

It was good but there were no converter plugs

Friendly staff, lights out at 11pm was a mixed blessing, close to the station, so nice avoiding taxi fares to commute.

Well, it was clean & nice hostel.. Really value for money.

Hostel is good to stay for a budget price. Floor should be renovated.

I've stay here a number of times through the years. Still has a location that best for early departures to the airport....and that"s why it's my first choice when getting to and from the airport is high priority.

nice. thanks guys

PODs has one of the best staffs of any hostel, guest house or high end hotel i have ever been at. Very sharp guys here that run a top-notch operation. Even going so far as to go to the extra trouble to find and map a vegetarian eating place at Kuala Lumpur that one of the staff knew was good.

Amazingly friendly staff, perfect location for a short sleep if you arrive late and want to catch an early morning flight.

Great place to stay . Have stayed many times now and always like it !! Exceptinally clean and really quiet and easy to rest !!

Upon arrival, we found a naked man sleeping in our room. We did get another room right away, quickly "cleaned" by the staff, who removed some tissues full of blood from the floor. Did not feel so clean. There were also bloodstains on the sheets. Would not come again. Also, the rooms are not really rooms, more like beds behind small walls (which don't go to the ceiling).

Location is very nice because it's near KL Sentral. Very secure also as only customers get key cards that would take you to the rooms. Free breakfast is quite nice, I loved it. WIFI is fast also. But I got a lot of bed bug bites from the dorm bed and couldn't sleep properly because I keep waking up in the middle of the night scratching myself.

BED BUGS. Recognized as well for the staff, I don't recommend you to sleep in this hostel if you want to rest. Very bad experience, as the day after I spent all day scratching.
