3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

It´s a big young hostel with small rooms. We stayed in a doble room with no ventilation and old linnen and mattress. Only two showers per floor, definitely not enough. Tiny common room. The best thing was the location, near the bus & train, night market, and Chinatown´s restaurants. It´s cheap, so you get what you pay for.

Stayed here in a single room (G2) for two nights and killed three bedbugs in that time... And they were only the ones I saw. Room stuffy, showers and toilets smell, noisy, bed linen feels old and dirty, good breakfast selection on the plus side.....

Dorms here are so cheap and it's got a great vibe so definately worth it! I stay here everytime I travel through Kuala Lumpur. Yes, there are many stairs, a tiny common room, squeeky bunkbeds and concrete walls, but for the £3 price tag you can't complain. The lady who cooks the breakfast on the roof terrass in the mornings... More

We had a room with A/C, fan and attached bathroom. The room was small, the A/C only works from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m. so you don't have the freedom to use this facility. The flish of the W.C was not working, there are not blankets in the beds (you have to request them and they give you those from... More

Yes, it is cheap (I stayed in the dorm), but the conditions are quite bad. Dorm rooms are small and filled with beds and backpacks are everywhere on the way, no space to get around. And they stink. Beds squeaks loudly whenever you or a person above/below you is turning around, so not easy to sleap. There is A/C, but... More

Both rooms we stayed in had bedbugs. Front desk appeared to be aware they had them in the first room we stayed in (S5) and denied having them in the second room (G1), despite us showing them them the ones we caught. Staff didn't care. Stay away. It's cheap but infested.

Internet did not work in room - concrete walls. Lots of stairs. Bar at top is noisy at night. Toilet paper not included. .One guy at front desk was helpful to describe the usual route for travelers this time of year.

The dorm only cost 12 ringitts a night. Amazingly inexpensive. They have an 8 bed aircon girls key locked dorm in which you have to walk through the men's dorm to reach. The men's or co-ed dorm is kind of gross. It smelled like dirty shoes. The women's dorm did not fair much better but this is not something you... More

Well - you always get what you pay for, but even for 12RM pr. night for a dorm it doesn't include either light on the toilet after 9pm, toilet paper or a blanket for your bed. They have free wifi but charges you a hell lot of money for laundry and computers. They have a hell lot of customers, but... More
