Great place to stay! Close to Chinatown and metro station to go to other places. Staff was very helpful and polite. Shoes are not allowed inside but it was nice and clean.

This is overall a good hostel for the price. They have aircon in the rooms, and downstairs. My main prob with the place is carrying my luggage up all the stairs and no WiFi in the bedrooms, only downstairs. Also there is no laundary for guests. Other than that it was a pretty good place and close to Chinatown, a train station and food markets. Terrible that the burning of vegetation in indonesia creates such a heavy haze of smoke over Malaysia.

My friend and I stayed here last week and really enjoyed our stay. The staff at reception were friendly and knowledgeable. The free breakfast and tea and coffee throughout the day was a welcome bonus. Our room was spacious and well air conditioned with good bathroom facilities just down the hall. Chinatowns petaling Market and MRT station with minutes away, overall pretty great!

Thank you very much for everything, my stay there was great, the people are nice and very helpful, anytime I would go and ask the answer was given right and exact. It is cheap for the area and I would go back there anytime again when I am in Kuala Lumpur again.

Really friendly hostel & good location close to China Town & Central Market. Clean AC rooms & bathrooms & plenty of toast & tea for free. Would definitely recommend this hostel.

Very nice place to stay. The only suggestion I'd have is to have wireless internet in the rooms or at least a quieter place to sit and use the internet that's not next to the loud TV.

I would highly recommend this hostel! Maybe add some bed lights and lockers in the rooms - everything would be perfect!

located just 1 minute walk to Central Market and China town, very perfect! Just an input, we missed Bayern Muenchen Vs Dortmund Final Match because there is no sport channel in the television. just a pity, because they have great living room in lobby and third floor. However, this place is just perfect in Kuala Lumpur!

Very clean hostel albeit not too social. The staff, however, are incredibly helpful. As soon as we arrived, we received great recommendations for a late dinner and directions for exploring different parts of KL.

Nice clean room with proper duvet. Mattress was one of the better ones I've had in Malaysia. WIFI is only available in social area which means you see plenty of people on their laptop/tablets but still good. Peanut butter available with breakfast was a luxury.

A nice communal area with pretty decorations. Two computers are available for free. A clean communal bathroom on each floor. Our twin room with no windows and it smelled funny. The other rooms nearby did not smell... Staff are not particularly helpful, just doing their minimum work.

This was a great place. One thing though, the dorm room was sooo cold!!! They really cranked the AC up. I found it very hard to sleep in that cold room, meanwhile it was so warm outside.

Friendly staff and great location! Walking distance to 2 MRT lines (Red & Purple), Chinatown and Central Market. The selection of DVD's on the 3rd floor was a nice touch too. The only small issueI had was that you have to be buzzed in at the front door every time and I felt bad when I came back at 4am one night. Other than that, great place and I even extended my stay for 2 more nights.
