Decent place, good WiFi, location in a non-touristy part of town cloase to good eateries and walking distance (or take the monorail) to the Petronas towers.

Even if the place is not in the city center, it is perfectly situated with the subway station 50 meters away. Plenty of around the world trippers, sleep here and the living room is a lovely very furnished place (TV with DVD reader and a huge choice of films, 3 computers), great to meet everybody.... more Even if the place is not in the city center, it is perfectly situated with the subway station 50 meters away.

Honestly for 25 RM a dorm (and the breakfast is included in), that's definitely worth itclose

I rec this hostel to anyone. I stayed here second time. Feels like 2nd home. Here you can connect to net. Free breakfast. Bath and showers are much better than those i stayed in Hongkong. Nice collection of books, movies in addition to cable TV. Location is very good. Some people might find it... more I rec this hostel to anyone. I stayed here second time. Feels like 2nd home.

Some people might find it quiet. But i think it's ok, coz it's not theme park or pub. Don't compare it with 5star hotel. For hostel this is the best deal.close

Located near bus stations and monorail we were able to visit all the famous places very easily. After a busy day of sightseeing we could always come back to a clean and quiet place for the nights. We already recommended this hostel to friends who want to visit KL and for those who have not chosen a hostel yet... take Cosmopolitian! We had a great time.close

All in all, you get what you pay for in KL. And Cosmo is no different. One goody for those traveling through is the info wall in the main passage, not enough hostels have these in my opinion, At the time of writing this they were planning on re-doing there private rooms.

Was impressed with the hairdryer and straighteners in the girls dorm. There's a milion and one DVDs, books and travel guides to choose from. Chow Kit is not the best place at night but the hostel is very close to the monorail which will take you anywhere you need to go. Very good overall.

Great place. Doesn't look like much from the outside but it's got everything you need inside. Staff were very helpful. Close to Chinatown, Little India and the bus station to get to Penang. Showers could have been a little bit cleaner but it was good enuff. Not allowed to drink in the hostel... more Great place.

Overall the hostel was very good. Free breakfast and internet was appreciated but unfortunately other than the owner, the other staff could not recommend a single thing to do or see in KL. I would go back as it was a friendly and clean hostel, but I would make sure I knew exactly what I wanted to...

Owner is very helpful. Hostel is in low income area, but there are street stalls and food markets outside. Walls in the hostel are thin, but there is a/c. Not a 3 or 4 star hotel, but cheap, clean and close to real KL. But remember it is hot and humid!!!

A great base to explore Kuala Lumpur only a stones throw away from the monorail. The staff are really friendly and for the price you will struggle to beat this hostel. Also it has free internet and breakfast.
