Location is very good!! This guest house is close to Bukit Bintang monorail station,Puduraya Bus station. It takes about 10 minites on foot each station. And there is a good bathroom with hot water shower.

A great location and a nice place to stay, but some things (such as "tours desk" and "laundry service") were not as advertised, which was disappointing. Overall, though, a nice experience.

The hostel was excellent in every respect except for one... bedbugs!! Had a huge problem with the little blighters and asked to change room. The second room had been sprayed the day before but we still found a couple. Shame since the staff were extremely helpful and the location was near perfect.

The guesthouse was really nice, clean and comfortable. The lady at reception was extremely helpful, provided lots of information to my questions and even volunteered information as well as suggestions of what to do in KL. I would DEFINITELY recommend it and stay there again.

I feel very comfortable in this hostel, although the room is very small, the staff and the rest of the facilities are very good. You won't feel that you are far away from your home. If ever I have a chance to be in Malaysia, I'm surely go back there...

Located at a good location, minutes walk away from Jalan Alor, a place for food lovers. Hostel is generally clean, overall a nice place to stay. One thing is that they had a list of channels for the TV but most of them are not viewable.

The owner seems a bit gruff and the staff wasn't very helpful on the whole. The walls to the private room we booked were very thin therefore making it a very noisy sleep when people returned to the hostel in the wee hours.

We were moved to another guest house after booking - I think it was a storage area. Very noisey all night just outside the kitchen & bathroom. Not very clean. My worst hostel experience ever!

Hey... great location! Walking everywhere! The bathrooms could be a bit better...managed ;) Great wifi... I found it a bit boring socially but maybe that is not the hostel fault and just the accidentally co-occuring introvertid people ;)

In comparison to other places I have stayed throughout South East Asia this was the worst value for money. Breakfast, internet and towels were not included. The room was very small and clean but lacked any kind of zest.

Very friendly staff, with a real homely feel to it. We stayed in Anjung 2 which if you can get in there rather than Anjung 1 I would definately recommend it, the manageress at Anjung 2 is a real laugh. Really enjoyed my time there.

Anjung KL No. 1 was fully booked so I stayed at Anjung KL No. 2. My room faced a noisy open "makan stall" that had an open air live telecast of soccer matches. Also the floor and walls were wooden and so the noise factor was high. After one night, they moved me back to Anjung 1...

We had a nice stay in the the Anjung hostel. We found ants in our room and we were kindly moved to a different room. The staff also seem to like sleepovers on the sofa and seem to hog the television a bit as well.

I can't expect more than they offer me. Location is in the centre of two LRT/MRT station and Pudujaya bus station. So ALL transportation facilities are within 8-15 mins walk. For the first come traveller, here they dont wear shoes inside house. I got used to this culture. Mention you not to be surprised by it. I didn't have time stay longer in house. Wish the next time i go i can have time in the evening making friends with other travellers, cause i spend evening time with their discount KL tower ticket on the tower. I really believe anytime you are on KL tower, you always feel different. It's just a wonderful place to see KL, and I suggest you to go before sun set, to see the sun set. I didn't see it, but it is expected to be the best time to see KL. Rememer get your discount ticket from guest house.close
