“ Extremely helpful staff. Great atmosphere for meeting people and just chilling out. They have 3 guitars if you play. They are in a seperate room so it isn't noisy in the lounge area. ”

“ The hotel is right behind the Times Square. Taxi counter is available at both KL Sentral and Times Square, so it's pretty safe to travel by taxi.

“ Plastic cover on tehn mattress is always a good thing as you know you won't face bed bugs. The sheet on top of this seemed a little dirty though.

“ The hostel is in a dodgy part of town - in what my friend that lives in KL said is the worst part of town(Pudu). Hard to find as well. The paint chips are coming off the walls.

“ I loved this hostel! Very friendly staff, in minutes you feel right at home. They can advise you were to go, but if you want to stay in, they have hundreds of dvd's you can watch or books you can read. I had a dorm room which was good, showers are great too! Overall; wonderfull stay here! ”

“ This hostel is conveniently located. The staff are friendly enough, but they seem to have a strange policy of no shoes, as in they only enforce it on Europeans. We were bolted out one night (without warning) as the front door has a bolt on the inside. The water upstairs didn't work all the time.... ”
