Clean and comfortable with great staff
A great hostel. I had a solo room, everything was super clean including the bathroom at all times. Great Wi-Fi and coworking area downstairs, staff was so nice and helpful, plus very close to Sentral station and lots of great food nearby.
Walking distance to KL Sentral and surrounding by many (Indian) restaurants, so no problem when you suddenly feel hungry late at night.
Room a little too dark as it is windowless and lighting is not intense enough.
Just really good for an overnight stay.
Check-in, check -out no fuss.
Stay away from this place. I had a reservation for a single room (mini Pod), but it was 2x2 m and the fan sound was terrible. So I choosed to get a dorm bed because ironically the dorm rooma are more spacious. So I will never ever stay again in this hotel. For a few bucks more you can get more comfortable room in other hotels nearby.

Good B&B
Very spacious ground floor reception and comfy with lot of convenient to interact each other’s. Available lift for upstairs bedroom and the room or bed are just usual B&B with no further comment, some improvement need for bed cover sheet and wash room. Overall at good set up and keep going.
The perfect accommodation if you're staying the night before travelling elsewhere in the morning. Service and facilities are perfect although the walls are very thin so if you're staying the night with loud and rowdy people in the next room it can get annoying.
Nothing special on this hotel but otherwise good value for money. Some guests are noisy talking on the phone, chatting loud even in the middle of tje night.
staff was friendly but service level can be improved. shower facilities can be greatly improved. it was smelly when I used it. several hair strands were found on my bed....
Ideal for quick stopover stay. Great Indian food all within walking distance. Nice shopping mall just 200meters away. Transport linkage to anywhere in KL and direct bus to/from airport.
Could not ask for more at this cost effective price.
Good place to stay for a night or two so that it is close to bus that takes you to Klia2 airport when your flight is very early in the morning. Service was great and theres always someone there to help no matter what time it is.
The location is perfect with many local restaurants and 24 hour laundromat nearby.
NU sentral shopping mall is 2 blocks away and you can get to all sorts of public transportation from there.
The staff are always happy to answer any questions you may have.
Free breakfast is just bread and jam but hey they always set up 1 type of local fruit with them so how sweet is that!
Try their reasonably priced coffee as well( I tried Iced Americano for 5 MYR and it was great.)
You'll find a lovely group of people sitting around to have a chat with if you want.
Nothing to complain that I can think of this place.
Will visit again if I have another visit to Kuala Lumpur in the future,
Stayed in female dorm and mattress sag in middle. Backpack bag can fit inside the locker but not trolley luggage type. Love the shower room..quite spacious and have the hangers to hang up the clothes. Good for overnight stay. Great location. Very accessible to KL Sentral.
