Bad experience at this substandard hostel. Old low efficient air-conditioner was turned on at 9.00 pm. It was too hot to sleep. Not recommend for anyone to become new victim.

Most of the rooms do not have windows so they are, therefore, a little small / boxy. They do, also, get very hot!!

the internet should be free but otherwise all good, especially the lounge, was brilliant to have a place to relax under a fan after the bustling heat of KL!

Very good location, close to subway and hop on hop off bus stop, walkable to the coach terminal. However, it took me quite a while to find it at the first time. Staff are very helpful and they are surely handymen. When I was there, one of the toilet needs to be repaired, but the room is clean and...

Brilliant stay! Superfriendly staff, nice and quiet rooms and most of all - the best location in town. We also spent a lot of time just chilling and watching movies in their comfy living room during monsoon rains. Really nice stay, would love to stay here again!

To top it all of, my stay in Westover Lodge was the best experience I had while I was in KL. The owner and the staff members were SUPER FRIENDLY! It wasn't just a hostel for me to rest, it was a whole unforgettable experience on its own. I have been to countless hostels around the world, never have I come across one that is so clean, and comfortable. And it was very cheap as well. The location was brilliant, highly accessible to many tourist attractions in the city. It changed my entire perception towards the whole idea of hostel living. A friend of mine recommended this hostel, he was in KL a month before I got there, and I didn't believe him when he told me that he had a wonderful stay in Westover, knowing that he's quite a cynic. But I have to agree with him. I'm glad he introduced me to Westover Lodge. If I could give them a 6 star rating, I would. Hopefully this review of mine will help you if you're looking for a nice and comfortable yet affordable stay in Kuala Lumpur. Enjoy.close
