I love the room which is very clean & nice. They also provide you a smart tv with Netflix and have a very strong connection of Wifi. The view from the outside is stunning because you are on the 50th floor. I got room with a gaming chair so yes I love it 😂❤️ There are plenty of snacks, instant mee, & frozen food (Yes have to pay Qr). If you want to cook, there are also utensils for you. Beside that, you can wash ur clothes too here with their Washing machine.

Loved the staff - Gaya the manager accommodated our request for an extra mattress in our private bathroom room. Sha, Clarence and Helmi were so friendly and helpful. Luffy at the Chinatown Mingle was also wonderful. Loved our loft space - cosy and comfortable. Free meals were delicious and I loved the Friday BBQ. The food at Kleptocrat was tasty and it's a very popular place. Laundry and kitchen gave us more Independence. Location was great - easy to walk to Chinatown, Menara and Bukit Bintang. Train station close to Mingle

    I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. 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.

    The host is so friendly and helpful! The hostel is in a great location - so close to the shopping area and metro. It’s so clean and there’s plenty of space in your bunk! I did my laundry here too and it was so cheap and came back so quickly and so clean! Would definitely stay here again.

    Very clean, well located. Easy to get coffee downstairs and basic groecries in 7/11. Easy area for taxi pick up , in area which feels safe at all times. Good beds, showers, all great. I was intimidated by description of 20 beds per room, but actually very quiet and clean and neat, so doesn’t feel overcrowded at all! One of the best hostels i stayed at
