Good location. Not far from KL Sentral. I chose a single room. It had a window. The cheaper ones may not. Filtered water available. Lots of mainly Indian eating places nearby. PODs suited me fine. I would stay there again.

Not really backpackers' hostel - a lot of locals living there long-term, which made me feel unsafe. Good location close to KL Sentral, room (female dorm) was small, most of staff friendly

Great hostel. Very secure. Showers are brilliant. Friendly staff and nice little cafe downstairs you can chill in with some kitchen facilities. Location right next to KL sentral is very handy

C’est une super auberge, le personnel est au top, il y a un grand espace de collectivité en bas où vous pouvez aussi vous poser pour manger, travailler etc, les dortoirs sont grands, ventilés mais pas climatisés, il y a des lockers pour vos affaires.

Mega gute Lage und ein tolles Rooftop! Für die Schliessfächer sollte man nur vielleicht ein eigenes Schloss dabeihaben:)

Staff were rude. No age limit in the hostel so felt quite uncomfortable. Got bitten in the night with marks all over my legs. Lockers don’t lock

I stayed in the private room because I was going to be coming in really late from the airport. While it’s nice that they have a self-check in option for people arriving after 2am, when I arrived the bed had clumps of hair on it and stains all over the sheets. The air conditioning was also extremely cold with no way to turn it off, so I had to sleep in multiple layers. The showers got warm but smelled like someone was routinely pissing in them. For the price of the private room I expected bette...

Decent hostel. Not really an athmosphere but will do for a layover. Room had a very strong smell. A lot of long staying workers there it seems. Located in little India. Location was very good only 5 min from the station!
