It’s got this great balance of being super social but still clean and well-organized. The free black coffee is a nice touch in the mornings, and I really appreciated having laundry facilities to freshen up during my stay. The swimming pool adds such a cool vibe to the place, it’s perfect for a mid-day break or a post-adventure dip. The events they organize are always a blast especially pubcrawl and bbq, you’ll meet tons of people here. If you’re up for a good time, this is the hostel for you!

Great location, as it was very close (walking distance) to the KL Monorail as well as attractions such as the Petronas Towers, among others. Bukit Bintang is fairly close too. Other than that, the facilities were immaculate and comfortable. No complaints.

I like everything! The staff, the location, the room, the bed, the pantry and overall aesthetic vibes. The staff is attentive, friendly and get things done. The location is on the street with cafes, bar and popular restaurants, you will be spoiled with food choices. The room I'm in is spacious enough to open the luggage and rearrange. The bed is great with thick blanket and mattresses. Towel is provided with deposit. Pantry on the upper level is huge, airy, equipped with fridge, microwave and water dispenser.

Everything was perfect. The staff is really nice and helpfull. I highly recommend this hostel. It was really clean and confortable. I felt like home... The only thing you can not cook but you have microwave and kettler. You have a shopping mall 5 minutes walking where you can eat there and down in the same bulding complex a mini supermarket.

All hostels in Kuala Lumpur

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.

The host is so friendly and helpful! The hostel is in a great location - so close to the shopping area and metro. It’s so clean and there’s plenty of space in your bunk! I did my laundry here too and it was so cheap and came back so quickly and so clean! Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean, well located. Easy to get coffee downstairs and basic groecries in 7/11. Easy area for taxi pick up , in area which feels safe at all times. Good beds, showers, all great. I was intimidated by description of 20 beds per room, but actually very quiet and clean and neat, so doesn’t feel overcrowded at all! One of the best hostels i stayed at
