I feel that right from the moment i book my stay I can totally rely on the facilities and the service I will get. It makes for probably my best 'city' stay. I can be so sure that the standards never slip that I can switch all my focus to the things I have to do around the city, outside of the hostel.

My usual place for KL Marathon weekend! Walking distance to the start line at Dataran Merdeka. Early breakfast for runners and the free Snickers!

I had a quick layover in KL & this place was perfect! Clean, modern, quiet & accommodating to my early checkout. Bathrooms were clean & modern, as were the lovely decorated rooms. Honestly, a great place all around.

Hostel is located in the heart of KL. It is near the Central Market, China town, Merdeka Square. There is an accessible train nearby if planning to go to other places like KL sentral/ Petronas. I stayed in the female dormitory and the room was spacious, the bed pod comfy, toilet area is clean, breakfast provided is decent. There is also a movie room where you can watch netflix perhaps.

I loved the kind staff, clean rooms, and great location! Easily in walking distance of most major attractions and right on the metro line! Also the private rooms have a sink and this is a game changer in hostel life!! It made getting ready for bed/the morning so much easier.

The lady at the reception didn't give my deposit back after I decided to extend one more NIGHT. On top of that, all of my stuff including personal belongings had been removed by the staff around 12 as I was busy dealing with the fact my phone got stolen in a taxi. The same thing happened to me again when I put my baggage in the dorm after I extended one more stay. The worst experience ever!
Shower is nice

Nothing I didn't like. I thought the hostel was excellent.
Beds were very comfortable and staff very friendly. Especially Viola. She was great. They had a lovely collage board in the kitchen of all the top sites to see in KL which was very useful.
