Hostel is in superb location by the Kuala Lumpur train station and china town and central market. Bedrooms literally only have beds and table in. No plug points in room. Bed covers/ towels clearly not washed but if you take your own its fine. Very cheap so what you'd expect

The best thing about Matahari Lodge is it's location. It's right around the corner from the Pasar Seni MRT station. It takes about a minute to walk from the station to the lodge. The problem we had was seeing it. On the outside it's just a door with stairs that lead to the floors above. It's on the right side... More

We're staying at the moment at the Matahari Lodge that was recommended to us by a friend and it is one of the nicest places we've stayed so far in KL. Staff is really friendly and we felt at home the moment we stepped in. Really well situated and everything is really relaxed. We would recommend this place to any... More

The showers are hot and the common area is a great place to sit and chat with other people. It is within walking distance to almost... More

As soon as we arrived at the Lodge we were told we had to walk to the Matahari Lodge 2 because the room we were supposed to sleep had its bed broken by the previous occupier. We were a bit annoyed mostly because it was 2 am in the morning and they said they couldn't get in touch with us... More

great hostel, excellent and helpful staff. very clean rooms, although they do not have windows in many cases they are well ventilated and make for deep sleep. the location is in china town where many of the cheaper hostels are, so sometimes the streets around can be a little seedy at night, but nothing to worry about. would definitely recommend...
