I was traveling all the way from Raub, Pahang to have a trip to KL for work, and this place got my attention to have a reason to try it out. At that time I was just looking for a budget stay and this place is something new for local people like us. This is also my first time to try at dorm, with that price this place really provide lots of value, cozy place to sleep and comfortable to hang around at their dining room, clean toilet and bathroom, and many facilities for us to use. Love they also provide free flow snacks and coffee. Even though it's just a short stay, definitely will book again if I happen travel to Kuala Lumpur again. Nice budget dorm. High recommended to all to try it out.

This accommodation is brilliant value for money! The shared washrooms are spotless, they literally clean them all day, the bed is massive and very comfy, the pool is also huge and a real bonus considering location and price. The location is fanatic, walkable to everything or public transport also easily accessible and nearby restaurant choices with food from around the world. The breakfast is simple but adequate and there is a shared fridge for use too. The staff are super friendly and we would absolutely return if we were in KL again. Also free filtered water in the kitchen so bring a refillable bottle to reduce plastic waste.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.

The host is so friendly and helpful! The hostel is in a great location - so close to the shopping area and metro. It’s so clean and there’s plenty of space in your bunk! I did my laundry here too and it was so cheap and came back so quickly and so clean! Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean, well located. Easy to get coffee downstairs and basic groecries in 7/11. Easy area for taxi pick up , in area which feels safe at all times. Good beds, showers, all great. I was intimidated by description of 20 beds per room, but actually very quiet and clean and neat, so doesn’t feel overcrowded at all! One of the best hostels i stayed at
