I really enjoy the hotel’s vibes and environment here. It’s such a chill and relaxing place, especially the lobby’s outdoor balcony area, which is perfect for hanging out and makes me feel at ease. The rooftop also offers a beautiful view of the Merdeka 118 building

The rooms felt premium and were very clean, comfortable and thoughtfully designed. The shared bathroom and pantry were well-maintained and they even provide unlimited drinking water via a water filter, which is a great touch. Additional facilities like a fridge, microwave, washing machine and WiFi made the stay even more convenient. The staff were warm, friendly and always ready to help. Their hospitality truly enhanced the experience. Definitely a 5-star stay.

Perfect place for my short visit to Kuala Lumpur and to see the Petronas Towers. I could walk everywhere and have a feeling of the city from there. The space in the cubicles was great, very spacious and comfy! Also, arriving late and having someone there was very helpful. Thank you!

Comfortable beds, cool interior design of the building probably because it's old, everything was clean. They have a water cooler for drinking water and I liked the rooftop spots to hang out. Good location on a street with stores and restaurants, 10 minute walk from metro and also the bus station to get to the airport. Staff was super helpful, and even the volunteer at the front overnight was super great handling some drunk people in the dorm.

All hostels in Kuala Lumpur

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.

The host is so friendly and helpful! The hostel is in a great location - so close to the shopping area and metro. It’s so clean and there’s plenty of space in your bunk! I did my laundry here too and it was so cheap and came back so quickly and so clean! Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean, well located. Easy to get coffee downstairs and basic groecries in 7/11. Easy area for taxi pick up , in area which feels safe at all times. Good beds, showers, all great. I was intimidated by description of 20 beds per room, but actually very quiet and clean and neat, so doesn’t feel overcrowded at all! One of the best hostels i stayed at
