Basic hostel in great location

Basic hostel in a great location. Stayed in 4 bed dorm. My only concern is room had an old style key and it was up to each person to lock the door behind them, if this didn’t happen the door stayed unlocked. The 8 bed dorm has an automatic locking door.

Clean and comfortable with great staff

A great hostel. I had a solo room, everything was super clean including the bathroom at all times. Great Wi-Fi and coworking area downstairs, staff was so nice and helpful, plus very close to Sentral station and lots of great food nearby.

ホテルも清潔で冷房も寒いくらい稼働していて良かったが、掛け布団が薄くてむしろ寒いくらいだった。16人くらいの広い部屋に泊まったが、2段ベットはプライベートな空間は皆無だが、他の客たちは掛け布団や衣類で仕切りをしてプライベートな空間を確保していた。隣のおっさんのイビキがうるさくて寝れなかったが、値段を考慮すればそれほど不満はない。klセントラル駅までもすぐに行けて交通の弁も良かった。

Walking distance to KL Sentral and surrounding by many (Indian) restaurants, so no problem when you suddenly feel hungry late at night. Room a little too dark as it is windowless and lighting is not intense enough. Just really good for an overnight stay. Check-in, check -out no fuss.

立地のみ。

セントラル駅に近いので早朝、深夜のフライトに便利です。ショッピングモールを抜けて駅に行くと５分くらいですが、ショッピングモール閉店時間は遠回りする為余裕を持って出発してください。ホステルはきれいではありません。駅近で安いので割り切れる方向けです。

Stay away from this place. I had a reservation for a single room (mini Pod), but it was 2x2 m and the fan sound was terrible. So I choosed to get a dorm bed because ironically the dorm rooma are more spacious. So I will never ever stay again in this hotel. For a few bucks more you can get more comfortable room in other hotels nearby.

The perfect accommodation if you're staying the night before travelling elsewhere in the morning. Service and facilities are perfect although the walls are very thin so if you're staying the night with loud and rowdy people in the next room it can get annoying.
