The hotel feels clean and welcoming and was although staying in a dorm room it was quiet and comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone thinking of staying in KL for a few days. It is easy to find and close to the monorail station, which made it exceptionally easy to get to from the airport. Plus the China town market on the street outside gives it a great atmosphere if arriving at night like i did. |

Extraordinarily clean and tidy, nice lounge with a TV, very helpful and friendly staff. The place does have a slightly middle-age feel to it - though there are backpackers, the atmosphere is pretty quiet and subdued. |

The staff were really nice and the 2 bed dorm was clean and comfortable, if a little spare. The lobby is air-conditioned and comfortable, it's easy to meet people there in the evenings, and beer is relatively cheap for Malaysia. The staff will also help you find things in KL and around if you need information. The only problem is that the two bed dorm has no locks and is really just screened off from the other dorm rooms, so be prepared to leave your luggage at the desk or in the safe when you leave for the day if you are worried about theft. Getting to the hostel and away can be a pain if you don't want touts asking you to buy watches and dvds, since it's in the middle of the Chinatown market, but if you like the market atmosphere, this place is great. You're right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. |

Clean, quiet and comfy place to stay on the busy market street. Not really a place for socialising but a good value budget hotel. |

J'ai apprecie la chambre que j'ai recuperee apres avoir paye un supplement mais l'espace qu'on m'avait proposee avant m'a choquee car on sent que c'est du business et qu'ils ont essaye de rentabiliser l'espace au maximum |

Nice place to stay, centrally located, clean with nice enough staff. Be wary of staying on the 5th floor though as it is generally noisy from the hotel services located above on the 6th floor and the air con generator comes on @ 6am which woke me up on 2 mornings including new years day. We checked out the next day even though they did offer to change our room, we just wanted to move on at that stage. I would stay here again if it was on a lower floor but i think there is probably better value to be had elsewhere. |

We arrived a day early, guy on desk accommodated us, no probs. For the money it needs an electric jug in each room. Boiling water and chilled water is available on 2nd floor, a real hassle. We were really upset when the guy on the desk offered to get a cab for us to go to bus station, Sentral, for only 75RM. He said the cabs on the street charged 100RM, he could get us one for 75RM. . FFS In all reality, the taxi on the street charged 15RM. The driver tried to tell us there were no buses and we would need a taxi for the hour drive to the airport, yeah rite, they run 24 hours. I am afraid all that has left me with a distrust of Malaysians, but guess we just found two bad eggs. Chinatown is a filthy area, will stay in my usual Bintang Buksit place next time. |

Dorms are very low-security cubicles, but staff is friendly and helpful. Free locker for valuables. |
