Please make sure to man the desk especially when a confirmed guest is coming. Also, it would be nice to make other essential travel materials for sale -- shampoo and toothbrush, most especially. But other than that, the staff were super nice so thank you!close

very nice staff, clean hostel, usually full we were told with lots of sports teams but we had one floor to ourselves (4 people) so we basically had a shower each it was great. Other than that it was pretty quiet in a good location close to the train/underground train. I would recommend it highly!

It was...average! Not that this was the hostel's fault, but the first nite i saw an old woman get her purse stolen right off her shoulder, by 2 guys on a motorcycle! Be careful!! I didn't realize how creepy it gets around KL at night...

The street is very dark at night and infested with rats and cockroaches. The air con is great and the sheets are changed every 3-4 days. However the walls are only partitions, the street is very noisy and the cab driver from the airport didn't know where it was. Don't stay here!close

Very good value, friendly and accommodating staff, clean, comfortable room with a/c. Hostel was hard to find after dark at first, and walking up many steps to use fridge, breakfast and internet difficult for anyone with a mobility concern or some older travelers.

The air-con works well and the toilet and shower room is clean and in good condition. The alley location can be a bit dodgy if you intend to go back late at night alone(esp. if u r a girl). Otherwise, safety is not an issue with it's usage of a contact card to open the 2 gates(one on ground floor and one on 3rd).close

Excellent location in KL, but our double room was small with no windows. No real problems apart from the internet being expensive and when we did need to use it told couldn't log on until 9pm which was a pain.

But there were little problems here and there, the staff didn't seem to be able to cope with an questions that weren't in thier rule book, the walls are so thin in the rooms that we could hear the guy snoring in the room next to us.

The location was really convinient for getting to Little India or China Town and was right next to the central bus depot. Though our room was a little noisy, the staff was very accomadating about moving us. Breakfast is toast and coffee in the morning. All in all, a modest but clean and safe hostel.
