Liked: The staff were happy to help and spoke good English. Free wifi in all rooms which was quite fast. Location is good if you want to be in middle of china town (very hectic at night) As you head up petaling street from the main sign at the bottom china town hotels are on the left hand side about 500mtrs up

Disliked: Walls are paper thin and you hear every shower and toilet flush from surrounding rooms.

Liked: right in the centre of chinatown so close to markets. property was clean and there is free wifi although the computers are not free to use and can be a bit slow. cheap place to stay and decent enough value.

Disliked: this is a hotel but with an area adapted for dorms. the dorms are like little huts placed in a large room up a few steps from the lobby and the walls dont reach the ground or the ceiling so you can hear everything from other "dorms". this wasnt that bad (unless you get a bad snorer) and it wouldnt put me off staying here again. There was only one toliet but there never seemed to be a que for it when we stayed.

Liked: Good location - didn't mind late return on New Year's Eve

Disliked: Windowless room, very noisy, walls are very thin and there were vents in the ceiling which appeared to link to the next room therefore we could hear everything that went on (including him being sick!)

Liked: This is the nicest dorm accommodation I've ever stayed in. Entering the lobby is like walking into a 3.5 or 4-star hotel. They clean twice a day and replace your sheets every couple days. They have filtered water, hot showers, free wifi with decent speed, safety deposit boxes, and very polite and helpful staff. I thought I was saving money by staying at the cheaper hostels, but after you pay the daily fee for wifi at the others, you're paying what you do here anyway. This is definitely a little hidden treasure.

Disliked: There is nothing to dislike about this place. It's probably not the place to meet young backpackers - as most don't even consider this place when looking for a fun cheap hostel.
