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.

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.

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.
