The location is very strategic, close to KL Sentral, just a short walk away. There are food vendors on the left, right, back, and front, so you won't go hungry, and it's also close to a laundry service. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There's an elevator and a rooftop, and the room is clean and big enough for two people. The toilet and bathroom are very clean, and there's a hairdryer. Although the room has a fan, it uses central air conditioning that automatically cools the room 🥶 without having to turn on the fan. For the price, it's very worth it. I stayed here for a week yesterday.

Good place to stay when you are in KL. It is near from KL sentral. You just need to walk across from it for 5 minutes. The place provides a simple breakfast and the rooms are air conditioned.

The real grandmother's house. If you are a real backpacker, this is a very comfortable place for backpackers. Adiza was very happy to stay here for 2 nights, and was happy again even though she had not stayed at the pods, adiza could still come to just play and hang out at the same time having dinner with the owner of all pods staff. You guys here will feel like you have a new family, they are all really helpful, and blend in very well. You just have to try it! 9/10 you can check-in the diagram to get to know the daily activity there. Good luck backpackers.

This hostel is suitable for backpackers who during the day have a busy schedule to get around if they only need a room to rest at night. The air conditioner that was turned on at night was too cold. Strategic location and surrounded by many places to eat according to different travelers' budgets, both located in the mall and restaurants along the road.

The risks of sharing a room with others. I got the top bunk, but I got dizzy and couldn't sleep because of the fan and AC next to me. Ouch.

The hostel location is really strategic. It's really close to the bus station KL Sentral. Next to it is a convenience store, and there is a 7 Eleven across the road. The staff is really nice and helpful. I checked out at 3 AM and walked to the bus station very safely; the neighborhood was still alive. Highly recommended.

The hotel is very close to KL Sentral, making it easy to access and easy to find. Although the room didn't have air conditioning, I didn't feel hot at night, and the room was clean, although there was limited space. Unfortunately, the men's and women's rooms are on the same floor, and the bathrooms are shared, which I found uncomfortable for women. However, the hotel has elevator access, making it convenient for guests. Check-in and check-out were also hassle-free. For a sudden overnight stay near KL Sentral, this accommodation was quite adequate.

I booked a room for a few days. The room was quite clean with a fan. The shared bathroom was also clean. Drinking water isn't provided, but it can be purchased from the convenience stores next to and in front of the hotel. The location is very close to the station and the mall. There are many restaurants nearby.

The staff are rude, both the locals in the morning and the whites at night. They are very uncommunicative. The hostel has a closing time because the owner is stingy and only wants to pay two shifts. So, when closing time comes, it's a hassle for the guests. When you wake up in the morning and want to drink water or make coffee, you can't because the pantry is locked and there's no one there. The employee with the key doesn't arrive until 8. Even though by 8, people are already going about their activities. It's better to find another hostel, one that's open 24 hours and has a 24-hour staff member on duty.
