31 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Community room was nice and staff friendly. Very good located near the sea promenade. Room was quite big, but hardly furnished, only the bed, no cupboard neither bed table, but clean. Rates was RM 50 for Doubleroom, ok but not cheap. Good place to stay for low budget.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: Good location, air-con room helped beat the heat. Clean and has everything you would expect from a hostel. Internet access is a bit strange though - you use the computer at the reception desk.
