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 place is perfect if you search location which makes you easy to commute. It's walk-able from KL Sentral. I found it easy to commute from TBS since I just need to took train to KL Sentral than take the exit through NU Sentral. The same thing happened when I need to commute early to the Airport, just walk to KL Sentral and take the transportation to the airport. The room is not that spacious, but for me it's comfortable enough. There is shared bathroom outside the room on the same floor, but you don't need to worry about lining in a queue for shower or the loo. Breakfast was normal; they provided bread and jams. If you need to do the laundry, the coin laundry is nearby with less than 5 minutes walk.

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.

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.

The staff is very unfriendly. The hostel isn't open 24 hours, and it has a closing time. It only opens at 8 a.m., which is too late. The pantry is locked, so you can't fill the dispenser in the morning, or make coffee. This is the first time I've been to a hostel like this. I've been to hostels every time I've been abroad, like in Singapore, Malacca, and Penang, but never like this. I wanted to make coffee early in the morning, but Maggy couldn't because the pantry was locked and the staff hadn't arrived yet. The place is ugly, there's no floor, just cement. It's 2025, and the floor is cement, not ceramic. It's dirty and dusty.

Stay here 3 days 2 nights.✨✨ The hostel is good, order a bunk bed female room for 6 people. The room is okay, sharing. The bathroom is also shared overall good, clean and not cramped. Enough to stay and rest. Worth it for backpackers.😎😎 The staff is also friendly, they also speak English. The location is also strategic, close to the MRT. Close to the NU Sentral and KL Sentral malls. There is also a lift available so you don't have to get tired climbing stairs. There is a rooftop and cafe too. Worth and cozy bgttt. Muslim friendly too, there is halal food around, close to the Nasi Kandar ABC 24 hours restaurant, and close to the mosque too. Really worth it. Next timeee wanna stay here againnn😉😉
