The room was clean and well equipped. Location is good for those who wants to be located near to Gleneagles Hospital. Check in process was okay.
What is probably worrying however is the required bank transfer deposit and the need to send ID document to some unknown person which can be easily misused.

Everything was perfect! The check-in, check-out, condition, cleanliness & distance. 7-11 is just below. Bars are nearby. A walking distance to KLCC & monorail station. I didn’t get to try their breakfast despite being there for 4 days. Just a little discomfort with the pillow, not soft enough but still a recommended hostel! Will definitely come again!

An excellent, well maintained, practical place to park your heals.
I've stayed a few times now from 1 to nights a time, and will be doing more in the future.
Close by to Malaysian eateries, and excellent large supermarket nearby at the basement of the shopping centre next to the monorail station.

Good location is so crucial when you really travel there. Apart from strategic location, it is cozy, romantic and convenient. Much better than a budget hotel.
