very nice staff who took care of my special needs, Nice cafe, great location, comfortable bed, great showers

there was a ceiling fan on high speed that we couldn't control. the wind from it disturbed my sleep. I was too cold and felt the fan even in the bottom bunk. no privacy curtains on the bed or light.

The location is close to KL Sentral. The staff is helpfull. I stayed here many times. I asked for lower bunk bed and they gave me, even it's not exactly right hahhahaa..

They didn't provide towel for Dorm. And in the afternoon, the air condition was turn off. But it's okey. I just back to my room to put my shopping things.

Have stayed here before when in transit...conveniently close to Sentral for bus to airport. basic but clean affordable hostel. Have only stayed in private room so can't comment on dorms. Lot's of good cheap eats nearby in Brickfields.

Be sure to specify room with window when booking: the cheaper rooms don't have any!

I booked this hostel because of its proximity to KL Sentral and therefore easy connections to the rest of the city and the airport for an early flight. Initially I thought the hostel looked quite stark in terms of the dorm rooms but after my initial thoughts I really liked this hostel. Plenty of hot water to shower and the cafe is a really good community area with the hosts/owner extremely helpful about how to get to various places etc. in fact one night we went on an impromptu tour of the night market together. The cafe has hot and cold water for drinks etc and a fridge for the use of the residents. The Owner is constantly trying to improve his hostel and asking for opinions of guests on what they think. I’m intending to back in KL in May and will definitely stop here and I suspect it would have improved more by then. Definitely value for money and you can’t get a better location for links to The Petronas Towers, Batu caves and the airport links.

The AC was set a little cold for the dorm

The fact that we actually have to share toilet with different gender make me afraid a little bit

The vibe was very chill. The cafe downstairs is the perfect place to write post cards or plan the next steps of your trip (both of which I did). Which, by the way, there's a post office just around the corner, super convenient! I'm a solo female and booked the 4 female dorm for 2 nights. The dorm had high ceilings (heat rises) and a big 5-speed fan next to a cooling vent. If you're looking for frigid temperatures, PODs aren't it. But it's cool, and I was comfortable under a blanket. In the dorm, there were decent lockers and a provided pillow/blanket. Plus, a trash can. The facilities were cleaned every day. The shower/bathroom has a little porch with a drying rack. It also has wash basins for hand washing clothes if you have your own soap. The showers are roomy with 4 hooks and a shelf. The toilets are toilets. I think there's a rooftop? I didn't take the elevator all the way up, so I'm not sure if it's open on weekdays or only weekends. Ask the staff! The entrance/ elevator is shared with other businesses in the building. So your key card works on the PODs door on the level you're roomed. Key card for main entrance and physical key for your specific room.

On my second night, an older woman on crutches checked in. I'm sure she made sure the hostel had an elevator for her ease of transport. However, there are steps leading up to the elevator, which I'm sure were hard to navigate and may not be advertised. So, for anyone who's injured or needs a ramp to an elevator, either have someone with you or choose another hostel.

Location is great and they serve great coffee in their cafe as well! Rooms are basic as expected, but perfect when you arrive late in the evening from the airport. Clean bathroom facilities.

You can hear everyone that passes by in the hallway, so bring earplugs.

I enjoyed staying here. The location is great, staff is very nice and keeping the place clean. There is a rooftop terrace where you can enjoy city view, downstairs you can get nice coffee. Train station and bus are very easy to reach. First I stayed in the private room, but moved to the dorm when I extended my stay. I felt more comfortable in the dorm, as it is a nice big room with windows. I would definitely be back again.

The staff were very helpful and had a lot of good information about the transit. It was easy to catch a bus to the airport, go to the petronas towers or Batu caves. the rooftop has great views as well.

I think other locations in KL are more beautiful I don’t think I’d stay here if it wasn’t for my flight - It was not very easy to walk places like the botanical gardens as you’re surrounded by roads with heavy traffic. No privacy curtains on the beds and they’re very close to one another - I was woken up by other people a lot.
