New, good value for money, location.
I was confused looking for this place, coz they changed their name to Budget Hotel(or Budget Inn?), but then my twin room was good, spacious - not like in HK - with a new strong shower and comfortable bed. The whole hostel seems to be newly renovated and has a great location right beside the night food market and walking distance to Pavilion and Petronas. People at reception were friendly too.

Overally it was terrible that the room was stinks as a toilet smell i couldn't stand. But we booked a room for resting as my flight long layover . Anyway they didn't change the name of the front hotel board (still got the old hitel name on) so it was difficult to find it. Quite hard time even if we got a taxi there. Staff wasn't good at English so hard to communicate. One good thing is they let us to early check in with a small charge. If i would stay overnight i definitely ask change a room but we used it for resting. It was really cheap so what we got that what we paid for...:) If the room wasn't stink, it was ok. Also very noisy. That price of hotel couldn't expect too much. 😂

Budget Inn is the real name, but a good hostel
The hostel was remarkably nice actually, the main reason I chose them was because it was 4am and I needed a hotel and they were one of the few that still allowed bookings for that same night at that time. I had an sorts of trouble finding the place because it's not actually called "Dengba hostel" but "Budget Inn". I must've gone up and down the street five times looking for it without success, and then I noticed the alternative name in the fine print after which I was able to finally find the property. I've attached a picture of the hotel sign to aid future travelers. Check in was no problem, Laura from the front desk was a delightful host, and I've been staying here ever since. The rooms are clean and the bathroom is adequate, so I've got no complaints at this price really. The hotel also happens to be situated in the middle of Kuala Lumpurs busiest Street food market so i was able to try many different dishes workout having to go anywhere!

Sure this is right off Jalan Alor with all the street food, but there are plenty of other hostels on the street or in the nearby area so this is not a big deal. Several deal breakers for me: 1, super small windy staircase to get to the rooms with no elevators. If you have large luggage, it will be a logistical nightmare to reach your rooms. 2, I don't know where the smell came from since the rooms are actually quite far from the toilet, but it smelled like sewage during my entire stay, and that is with strong air conditioning on. 3, there were hangers and a large place for people to dry their laundry, but it is clear almost no one used laundry detergents / probably only hand-washed clothes because that entire area smelled terrible. Would definitely not stay here again, however, I can understand people choosing this place for the price. If you do, just set low expectations and it is tolerable.

Strategic Place!
There was an uninvited guest stuck on the wall of the toilet that I needed to get rid off. I believe this is common among accommodations in the area which is haven to those fond of food crawl. If your done of food trip, you can take a walk and go on mall hopping at Bukit Bintang. Jalan Alor becomes alive in the evening when tourists flock the place for good food that are bang for the buck. If you just need a place for a sleepover then this place suits you. But if you prefer comfort after a day's activities, try somewhere else far from Jalan Alor to avoid unwanted guests.

A Disheartening Stay
The room is filthy. The shower broke. There are always stains on the towel. There is hardly space in the room. Other guests living nearby are very noisy. It is hard to catch a good sleep. And breakfast menu is the same (everyday), just eggs and bread.

Nice cheap hotel
It's a nice and cheap hotel. Lots of food & minimarket around. Near bukit bintang monorel, and near GO KL bus stop (free and comfortable, better use this bus if you want to go to KLCC and pasar seni). The receptionists are kind and helpful. You can find almost everything you need during your stay near this hotel. Definitely recommend this hotel if you're searching a budget hotel.

We've been here in this hotel for the third time since 2012, and we are very satisfied. Bed and pillows are comfortable to the extent that we don't want to get out anymore of the room! All the amenities are basic so please don't expect much.

Quiet rooms
The location was really good, and the best part was that it was located on a street FULL of awesome street food! Even though it's a busy street the rooms are quiet and comfortable and really clean. The receptionist was a bit unattentive but pleasant, the other staff were more helpful and got you tea or coffee in the morning. But overall a really good stay. Me and my boyfriend would recommend this!

飄著淡淡怪異的旅店
房間雖然乾淨，但有一股奇特的腐臭味，或許是緊臨夜市所致？且夜市到半夜一，二點都還很吵，不易入眠。而這間青旅住客意外地稀少，一，二樓雖有數名住客，但我在三樓住了三個晚上，整層樓二十幾個床位，入住旅客每晚皆不超過三人，感覺很怪異。不過，店家不錯，我訂錯入住日期，依舊讓我可以免費更改日期。
