Excellent place to stay in KL. The guesthouse is located in China town and is accessible to other parts of the city by the LRT. The staff are really lovely and helpful. I stayed here at the beginning and end of my trip to Malaysia. I was sad to leave and will definitely be coming back to visit this guesthouse and KL again. Will send my friends there for certain. Thanks!

Really helpful staff. I left something on the bus and they helped me contact the bus company. Rooms were nice. Bathrooms nice and clean. Good location, right off the Hop-On Hop-Off Tour.

It's a very good hostel in Kuala Lumpur. Chinatown, Central Market and a train station are directly beside the hostel. The rooms are ok. Some are without windows, so you don't feel day or night time. That's probably the only negative aspect.

Really nice hostel. Clean, comfortable and clean toilets and showers, not in the same cubicle like some places. They do free breakfast, which is nice. Good location just at the edge of Chinatown, convenient for the metro and free buses etc. wifi downstairs, you can get a little on the first floor but not above that.

I was on the second floor in room 103 and was kept awake by the people in the room upstairs, it was unfortunate that they were so loud, but by the time I figured out it was them and not the people walking upstairs, the night had gone and I had to get up early to catch a flight. Soo be warned, if you are hearing lots of noises from upstairs, maybe the management can go to speak to them to quieten them down. Apart from that everything was fantastic :)

Really liked the place. The only thing is that there is no ventilation in the rooms. With aircon it's okey though.

Great hostel, really well run, everything worked like clockwork. That said, wasn't the most social experience, while there was a common area and provided breakfast, everyone seemed to just do their own thing, which was strange. Not sure how the hostel could change this, as nothing seemed to be particularly different to other hostels. All up though, was very happy with the stay and would happily recommend.

Overall is a good hostel, clean, had nice sleeps and some exercises climbing up stairs. It has no elevator, so be prepared to walk through stairs with your heavy bags and luggage (mine was on the 3th floor). Location is nearby Chinatown which could be noisy due to the busy traffic.

The rooms are spotless and modern with good beds, though it would be nice if we had lockers provided for backpacks. The shower facilities are by far the best I've seen in any hostel. The common areas are really great and the air con was a welcome respite from the heat. Computers provided have Skype- thumbs up from me! Had a great time at this hostel though it was a little hard to find (could do with a better sign).

Great location near Chinatown (Jalan Petaling). Slept in a twin room which was clean and the beds slept well. In the lobby/meeting room people were mostly obsessed by their ipad or telephone though.
