Traveller Ark Hotel & Bunks

This hotel is a true hidden gem in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur. It has an absolutely lovely lounge area on the 2nd floor, with a microwave, dishes, and hot water available. There is also a rooftop terrace on the 5th floor where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Kuala Lumpur. There are plenty of cool things to do within a 10-minute walk, and if you’re in the mood to socialize, there are also lots of backpackers around. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I don’t usually write such glowing reviews, but this place is genuinely cool. I can’t recommend it enough.

The room I stayed was very clean, the staff was kind.

We were rather concerned when we arrived and the hostel was in the middle of Petaling Street Market but remarkably we heard no noise from it at all. Our private ensuite room was minimalist but spotlessly clean. The aircon worked well and the room was equipped with a kettle, water, coffee, a hairdryer and two pairs of disposable slippers.our shower worked perfectly. In the communal/community area, there was a board with events listed. There was a karaoke night the evening we arrived. There is also a fabulous coffee shop, a selection of board games and a book exchange. The communal space also boasts a large table, inside seating and an outside seating area, along with a water refill station and microwave. On the top floor, there is a roof terrace with amazing views of Mederka 118. As a much older couple, we didn't feel out of place at Traveller Ark and would not hesitate to stay there again when in KL.
