A great hostel. 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.

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.

Very spacious ground floor reception and comfy with lot of convenient to interact each other’s. Available lift for upstairs bedroom and the room or bed are just usual B&B with no further comment, some improvement need for bed cover sheet and wash room. Overall at good set up and keep going.

The perfect accommodation if you're staying the night before travelling elsewhere in the morning. 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.

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.

Good place to stay for a night or two so that it is close to bus that takes you to Klia2 airport when your flight is very early in the morning. Service was great and theres always someone there to help no matter what time it is.

The location is perfect with many local restaurants and 24 hour laundromat nearby.
NU sentral shopping mall is 2 blocks away and you can get to all sorts of public transportation from there.
The staff are always happy to answer any questions you may have.
Free breakfast is just bread and jam but hey they always set up 1 type of local fruit with them so how sweet is that!
Try their reasonably priced coffee as well( I tried Iced Americano for 5 MYR and it was great.)
You'll find a lovely group of people sitting around to have a chat with if you want.
Nothing to complain that I can think of this place.
Will visit again if I have another visit to Kuala Lumpur in the future,

Overall nice experience. Close to KL Sentral. Speed Mart practically downstairs. Lots of place to eat nearby. But the room reeks of cigarettes. That is the only complaint I have. I have to buy an air freshener because of that. Room is cool. Bed is comfy. Toilet is big and does not have to wait even though there are only 3 bathroom.

To those who wanted a short trip in Kuala Lumpur and need to travel back the next day, this place is suitable for you. The rate per night is good. Plus it is very close (5 to 10mins walk) to the main transportation such as LRT, buses to airport, and Monorel. Toilet is not so good and a bit smelly, but for a short trip like 1 or 2 days I think you can survive the toilet ;) . Btw, found a camera in the female dormitory and already passed it on to the receptionist.

This hotel need to improve their toilet facilities, it was so unacceptable...I can bear with the coldness in the room, the lousiness of the fan but the toilet really need a makeover! How do you expect people to used that kind of toilet, it was beyond basic!

Room is very small. Not cheap for a single room. Free breakfast is provided. Soundproof is bad. Overall is not an awesome experience but is not a bad experience. If you are looking for a short stay and want to transit at KL Sentral, this hostel might be your choice.

Close to KL sentral, made it easy to go everywhere. The downstairs was a cafe shop, but I didn't like it so much. For me, I prefer the common area is only for guests. anyway, it's ok for short stay in KL.
