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.

Really nice esthetic and the local breakfast was excellent! Wish it was offered more since the normal breakfast was not very substantial

Julia

The interior designing of the place. It's feels like home and relaxing to stay after a busy day roaming the streets of KL. I also loved that they have stickers when placing some goodies in the refrigerator. Bed is really really comfy and CLEAN. It is near the train station so it was easy to move around and one station away from the Central Market.
