 Dhruv Kumar  -  4 February 2010

It's in the heart of China town. Centrally located in the city from shopping centres and the sight seeing places. The street is active in all hours. Recommend this place to all. The only people who may NOT want to be here are vegetarians or people who have an issue with the smell of meat as China town has at all times, these fun stalls lying open, making all kinds of yummy meat all over and smell comes. Also people looking for a QUIET holiday may prefer something else. I love it.

 Peter Tavenier  -  3 February 2010

Very simple backpackers, unfortunatly not very friendly staff. But it is a good place to do some sightseeing in KL.

 Customer Review  -  30 January 2010

This was a decent place if excuse the rat that jumped out of the bin in the bathroom1 slap bang in the middle of china town the rooftop bar is a disapointment as they dont really do anything to it other than put on th etv and serve u a drink if you want one. no atmosphere at all really. the woman at the desk was nice but the internet is from the stoneage and really slow. the dvd rest area is a bunch of plastic chairs in front of an old boxset that only plays dvds which isnt too bad i suppose. i wouldnt go back but its not the worst place we've been.

 Xing Li  -  24 January 2010

The location is good, just 2-minute walk from China town and 5-minute walk to Puduraya. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Even after we checked out they told us we could take shower before we left for night bus. Bathroom not very well maintained; Female dorm is inside mixed dorm; big chance to have snoring roomrate. Could only be recommended to those who want to save money and who are not fastidious.

 Customer Review  -  19 January 2010

My T-shirt was stolen. I got sick because the bedroom was too cold at night. Good location and friendly staff.

 Simon Matherson  -  6 January 2010

We appreciated the private room. Also their help with our tour to the Batu Caves that included other sights we would have never considered. They also helped us arranged our transfer to Cameron Highlands. The company they used is great and very helpful. Also they have tour operator facilities in the hostel like the Hop on Hop off bus - great way to see the city of KL and great value for money.

 Customer Review  -  28 December 2009

This is already my third time in this Hostel. I stay here everytime i pass trou KL. This time i even noticed that they changed one of the bathrooms and also a bigger TV which is very good. For how much it costs it is a good value for money. The only problem is not the hostel but some people who stay there. They have no respect for the others that are sleeping in the Dorms.

 Customer Review  -  25 December 2009

Rooms are clean, but bathrooms were a bit smelly. Other than that, it was good value for money! Staff were really friendly.

 Olli Tahtinen  -  20 December 2009

The hostel is pretty basic hostel in a good location of the city. You dont really need to use taxi at all, if you are willing to walk a bit. Chinatown itself is very lively place to hang out and eat.
