I had a solo room, everything was super clean including the bathroom at all times. Great Wi-Fi and coworking area downstairs, staff was so nice and helpful, plus very close to Sentral station and lots of great food nearby. ##### kristin Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abeer 8 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Basic hostel in great location Basic hostel in a great location. Stayed in 4 bed dorm. My only concern is room had an old style key and it was up to each person to lock the door behind them, if this didn’t happen the door stayed unlocked. The 8 bed dorm has an automatic locking door. ##### Abeer Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 9 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Walking distance to KL Sentral and surrounding by many (Indian) restaurants, so no problem when you suddenly feel hungry late at night. Room a little too dark as it is windowless and lighting is not intense enough. Just really good for an overnight stay. Check-in, check -out no fuss. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### bisola ibiwunmi 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice staff and guests ##### bisola ibiwunmi Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kiampi Olivia 31 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Perfect affordable option for short stays, at the heart of the city. ##### Kiampi Olivia Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne M 5 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location and value for money Perfect hostel very close to sentral KL, so it us ideal when you have to get up early to take the express for the airport ##### Anne M ### 8/10 Good #### Leo 26 Sept 2022 Liked: Staff & service Cost effective, near KL Sentral. ##### Leo Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Leo 2 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Near MRT KL Sentral Station. ##### Leo Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tenchi 14 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ホテルも清潔で冷房も寒いくらい稼働していて良かったが、掛け布団が薄くてむしろ寒いくらいだった。16人くらいの広い部屋に泊まったが、2段ベットはプライベートな空間は皆無だが、他の客たちは掛け布団や衣類で仕切りをしてプライベートな空間を確保していた。隣のおっさんのイビキがうるさくて寝れなかったが、値段を考慮すればそれほど不満はない。klセントラル駅までもすぐに行けて交通の弁も良かった。 ##### Tenchi Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### KAZUYA 6 Oct 2023 Disliked: Staff & service 滞在する場合のシーツやタオルについての説明を聞き忘れた？ どう変えるのか？部屋にあるタオルはどうするのか？もう少し説明が欲しかった。 滞在するには、駅も近く、24hrコンビニは出口横どなりにあるので、冷蔵庫要らず。便利さはとても素敵でした。 ##### KAZUYA Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 3 Mar 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### 立地のみ。 セントラル駅に近いので早朝、深夜のフライトに便利です。ショッピングモールを抜けて駅に行くと５分くらいですが、ショッピングモール閉店時間は遠回りする為余裕を持って出発してください。ホステルはきれいではありません。駅近で安いので割り切れる方向けです。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stan 2 Feb 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stay away from this place. I had a reservation for a single room (mini Pod), but it was 2x2 m and the fan sound was terrible. So I choosed to get a dorm bed because ironically the dorm rooma are more spacious. So I will never ever stay again in this hotel. For a few bucks more you can get more comfortable room in other hotels nearby. ##### Stan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### may, japan 3 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities klセントラルからインド人街を通ってすぐのところにあり、アクセス抜群 部屋は清潔だが通り沿いなので車の音が響く 貴重品ロッカーがありドミトリー部屋は狭いのでそこに荷物を保管していた。 受付はは24時間あいているので、早朝、深夜でも安心 ##### may Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sing Piau 21 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Good B&B Very spacious ground floor reception and comfy with lot of convenient to interact each other’s.

Service and facilities are perfect although the walls are very thin so if you're staying the night with loud and rowdy people in the next room it can get annoying. ##### Aubrey Nyobia Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christopher 28 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Sleep if you can. Get up. Get out. Basic bed.

Excellent transport linkage. Ideal for quick stopover stay. Great Indian food all within walking distance. Nice shopping mall just 200meters away. Transport linkage to anywhere in KL and direct bus to/from airport. Could not ask for more at this cost effective price. ##### Kenneth Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Kuala-Lumpur.h21122615.Hotel-Information) > > [Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Traders-Hotel-Kuala-Lumpur.h1468622.Hotel-Information) > > [Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Berjaya-Times-Square-Hotel.h1050442.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Shangri-La-Kuala-Lumpur.h20634.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Suites by Wyndham Kuala Lumpur City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Ramada-Suites-By-Wyndham-Kuala-Lumpur-City-Centre.h21306230.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Kuala Lumpur by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-InterContinental-Kuala-Lumpur.h425974.Hotel-Information) > > [One World Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-One-World-Hotel.h1682979.Hotel-Information) > > [Rooftop Pool KLCC View at Face Suite KL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Rooftop-Pool-Klcc-View-At-Face-Suite-KL.h34006451.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chow Kit - an Ormond Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-The-Chow-Kit-An-Ormond-Hotel.h39812138.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kuala Lumpur Shaw Parade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Mercure-Kuala-Lumpur-Shaw-Parade.h16324337.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Kuala-Lumpur.h54219.Hotel-Information) > > [Pavilion Hotel Kuala Lumpur Managed by Banyan Tree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Pavilion-Hotel-Kuala-Lumpur-Managed-By-Banyan-Tree.h31618683.Hotel-Information) > > [Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Banyan-Tree-Kuala-Lumpur.h22812809.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Melia-Kuala-Lumpur.h21112.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Kuala-Lumpur.h5232813.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Kuala-Lumpur.h385545.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Millennium Hotel Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Grand-Millennium-Hotel-Kuala-Lumpur.h524557.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-The-Westin-Kuala-Lumpur.h970684.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Stripes Kuala Lumpur, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Hotel-Stripes-Kuala-Lumpur.h17352205.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Hilton-Kuala-Lumpur.h901881.Hotel-Information) > > [EQ Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-EQ-Kuala-Lumpur.h34993183.Hotel-Information) > > [PARKROYAL COLLECTION Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-PARKROYAL-Kuala-Lumpur.h14489.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Pullman-Kuala-Lumpur-City-Centre-Hotel-Residences.h899847.Hotel-Information) > > [Verdant Hill Hotel Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Verdant-Hill-Hotel-Kuala-Lumpur.h13478286.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Mandarin-Oriental-Kuala-Lumpur.h200564.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h81788.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Kuala Lumpur City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Kuala-Lumpur-City-Centre.h13117977.Hotel-Information) > > [PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Kuala Lumpur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-PARKROYAL-Serviced-Suites-Kuala-Lumpur.h3900350.Hotel-Information) > > [THE FACE Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-The-Face-Suites-Kuala-Lumpur.h13297574.Hotel-Information) ---
