This was my best stay in Malaysia (&Thailand). The room was very spacious, there were ambient lights along with the big lights. Little things like a mirror was inside the dorm bed section itself, there were hangers to keep clothes, a small locker, charging ports that support universally, big locker below the bed, very comfy mattress, and AC was also cool. The kitchen + common area was giving a good view and had a nice comfy setup. The cafe beside had great food so that was a savior.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Good vibe in the lobby with people greeting me, offering snacks, etc. Comfy, spacious sleeping pod and secure locker provided. I was stranded at the hostel by the weather after checking out and the staff helped me try to get a taxi (very busy with chinese new year) and made me feel really welcome to hang out there until the storm had passed. Great location too- I felt safe walking home late at night alone.
