Liked: It was clean and neat, the staff was overly friendly and helpful and the location is very good - right next to Chinatown and the LRT train. The rooms aren't that cosy, but overall it's a nice place to stay with good value for money.

Disliked: The rooms are not very cosy and they have paperthin walls.

Liked: I had a great time there for New Years. The staff were terrific! they made mojitos for everyone and took us to see the fireworks.

Disliked: The rooms can be quite noisy as the walls are thin but that seems to be the case for most places in KL.

Liked: Very good value budget hostel. Chilled atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff. Photos are exactly the way it is, kept very clean. Just across the road from Pasar Seni train station and around the corner from Chinatown markets. Free toast/tea/coffee all day and comfy couch to watch movies or premiership football! Couldn't ask for any more

Liked: wonderful staff, great location, and best value of any hostel or guest house I have found in K.L. Great hot water 24/7, breakfast patio, and many things other places do not have. I stayed here for the first time now, and booked a 2-day stay next month. I look forward to coming back!!

Disliked: Nothing. All positive.

Liked: Excellent place to meet other travellers with friendly and helpful staff! In a good location which is handy for the Pasar Seni LRT, Chinatown, night market and central market. Breakfast is provided and tea is available all day. There is in room wifi and the common area has a dvd player with a selection of movies and also a bookcase. The patio area is fab and the hotel cat is comical. Would recommend

Liked: When I checked in the person was very nice. The front door has a code to enter.

Disliked: The person at the reception during the night was rude and not helpful with any questions I asked. The door to my room had obviously been broken into as the door frame was mangled all around the lock. The pillow had bleach stains all over it. It was certainly not inviting, even in comparison to the cheapest accomodations I've stayed in throughout Asia. The area around the hostel is shady, but no fault of the hostel.
