It would be good to add more toilet cubicles serving all dorms at level 3. Currently only 2 shower & 2 W.C. I was using toilet cubicle when someone tried to push open the door. Luckily I locked it & had to call out that someone inside. Didn't stay throughout my 3 days. Please do monitor the cleanliness of the toilet. Thank you!

This stay is so stressfull. Full of stres.-The room was so smelly so I asked them to change the beddings. Atleast I get comfort.-the toilet very dirty with poop. Other guests (bangladeshi or infian, I don't knw use toulet without flushing it) so very smelly because the cr located outside the room. They also don't sanitized the bathroom and cr so I buy my own powder soap and xonrox to clean it. Most of the guests were men so they drink 2 nights and very noisy. And I feel scared and afraid to take a bath because theres men outside drinking liquor. And the bathroom and common toumets located outside also. Very very very bad stay. So I just use toilet in the airport bfore my flight. Oh my God! Please make your hotel clean. And make a rule for the men that drinking not allowed. And secure the lock of female room because it was so scary.

The hotel is strategically located close to Petaling street and Pasar Seni station. Only if you are on the 3rd floor, you can't go up the stairs, there is no elevator. Get towels, the rooms are quite clean, only 1 room for 10 people. If it's only for 1 night it's okay but if it's for 2 or 3 nights I don't recommend it. The staff is fine.
