I loved this hotsel. I want to go back there. Friendly atmosphere, nice big room with tv, sofas, internet, etc. Loved their self-service breakfast and that they have microwave. Very friendly staff.

Fantastic place. Full of character. Great fun in the evenings with loads of DVD. Had the single room for one night which is lovely and the bunk for the other which is nice. The staff are fantastic. I can't recommend this place enough.

cute little hostel just two roads down from one of the main streets..the staff were the best! helped us by seaching accomodation, checking bus/ ferry times etc...The hostel in itself is small (only takes about 14 people) but very homey, social...with people lazing around the TV watching dvd's and... more cute little hostel just two roads down from one of the main streets..the staff were the best! helped us by seaching accomodation, checking bus/ ferry times etc...The hostel in itself is small (only takes about 14 people) but very homey, social...with people lazing around the TV watching dvd's and chatting. Breakfast was also good, include free filtered water, fruit, cereal, toast, tea, coffee...and anything on the table which may include biscuits, sweets, etc...its help yourself!close

A great hostel, though our taxi had trouble finding it. The air con in the rooms was a great surprise, because we certainly weren't expecting it!

Nice little hostel in KL, good location and friendly staff. Only down side is there is only one bathroom with hotwater so ended up waiting a while for a shower. But all together a nice experience.

Well, not much to say ;) - the staff at Red Palm makes you feel like home. The hostel is located pretty close to Petronas Towers and Menara. Indian Restaurant next door + all shops you'll ever need in KL just 2 minutes walk away. Very clean. Thanks for having us Red Palm ! Love. Martin + Gosia

Its an extremely nice place which gives u a very homely feeling. Only challenge is locating this place as it doesnt have any signboards. also as the hostel has wooden floors and partitions which makes it pretty noisy(but thats for most of the hostels in KL)

One of my favourite hostels of my whole trip! Amazing location, amazing staff, clean sheets (!), good chill vibe around the place, and the Indian restaurant next door is spectacular!

Really enjoyed staying here. The staff were really friendly and it was a really chilled out place to stay with plenty of people coming and going all the time. I would definately stay here again. Also only 10 minutes away from all the malls and shopping centres!

Very friendly, helpful staff with good facilities. Breakfast & free tea/coffee/fruit/cakes were good. Dorm door was left open all night & lights were switched on (and left on) at all hours. Standing fan in dorm got too cold at times. You're not allowed to eat pork products or drink... more Very friendly, helpful staff with good facilities. Breakfast & free tea/coffee/fruit/cakes were good. Dorm door was left open all night & lights were switched on (and left on) at all hours. Standing fan in dorm got too cold at times. You're not allowed to eat pork products or drink alcohol on the premises, but people were allowed to smoke in the common room... I found that a bit quirky.close

A great little hostel with an excellent staff. A huge selection of movies to choose from, a nice little cornflakes and toast breakfast in the morning (or a little later) and an indian restaurant right next door. Would I return? Oh, yeah!

Only downer was there is no air conditioning, and the fans weren't great so it was pretty hot during the day and early evening. Would recommend.close

An excellent place to meet other travelers. This place has the most homey, comfortable feel; kind of like hanging out at a good friend's place. If you are a light sleeper, you may want ear-plugs. Will definately stay here again when in KL.close

Possibly the best hostel I've stayed in. The only tiny thing I could say is that as there is no lights out policy, my dorm had lights on until 1am or even later some nights, which was a little annoying when I wanted to get up early. Everything else about the place was wonderful though.
