there are big bed bugs there.. I got a few bites and took simple 2 weeks to stop itching.. i will never return again.. and the price shown on hostel world is 20% more expensive. i pay 67 for the room and 11 for cream for bed bugs per day.. terrible experience

If you can get past the blood stained sheets, faulty toilets and sketchy location, this place may be fine were it not for the rude, unhelpful, nasty woman who seems to run the place.

We will never return to this hostel OR its affiliate, Greenhut Lodge (where the same woman also marred our February stay in KL, unbeknownst to us, she works at both) due to this wretched womanclose

Decent place... Definitely a bit of a walk from the bus station. They had movies to watch though and the internet was free (although we had to reset the router every couple of hours). Malls nearby and easy walking distance to the main sights. Not sure if we'd stay here again though..

good hostel however they own another hostel called Green Hut about 5mins down the road and its far better. it has a much better hang out area with pool table and is in a far better location. however trekker lodge is much the same deal with the rooms and bathrooms which are all clean. could do...

A friendly hostel but very poor cleanliness. The sheets were covered in stains and our toilet leaked onto the open plan bathroom floor. Good rate but take your own linen and slippers for the no shoes rule!

Pretty good as hostels go. Some of the double rooms are on the first level though, could get a bit noisy being just off the kitchen. I originally received one but was happy when they let me swap it for a quiter room upstairs.

one of the most expensive rooms on my 6 month travel around Asia. The single rooms are really not worth the money, especially the room on the first floor near the reception: very noisy, very small, without window. Staff is friendly and location is good.

The streets outside are swimming with litter, and my friend and I were solicited by prostitutes immediatley outside the hostel on two of the three nights that we were staying here. I wouldn't recommend this place if you are traveling alone. In addition, ask to see a few different options before you decide on a room for the night. We were moved once during our stay, and found our second room to be a good bit nicer than the first. Although the staff wasn't particularly helpful, I didn't leave hating the place. It was just OK.close
