The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.Maico WanderlindeSolo traveller
- Avg. price/night: ₪ 49.467.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 787 reviewsHonestly a bang for your buck. Its a super affordable hostel that has a very nice swimming pool. They have the normal bunk beds if you're on a tight budget but they also have curtained bunk beds with slightly wider beds if you're looking for something a little more private at a slightly higher price(very much worth it). They sell food and drinks, and the laundry machines are cheaper than regular laundromats. Getting around is easy since public transport is near. The staff are great, the guests are great. No regretsPoquitaSolo traveller

The owner is really friendly and shared details for finding the place, and I think they were definitely needed as we struggled to find it initially, but it is accessible through a car park.

- 8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 958 reviewsVery unique place, a hidden gem for a traveller! The pool is amazing and just like in the pictures. The beds and sheets are very comfortable and it's nice to have AC. You can even do laundry here! Drinking water available. The area is very safe. Hot shower, tidy. Most budget hostels in KL are bad, so this is a very good deal. Many guests were fun and friendly, but when reading the reviews it looks like some expect luxury private hotel vibe but only want to pay hostel price. :D Therefore it's not only backpackers staying here.SagaSolo traveller
