Basic hostel in great location
Basic hostel in a great location. Stayed in 4 bed dorm. My only concern is room had an old style key and it was up to each person to lock the door behind them, if this didn’t happen the door stayed unlocked. The 8 bed dorm has an automatic locking door.

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.
Very spacious ground floor reception and comfy with lot of convenient to interact each other’s. Available lift for upstairs bedroom and the room or bed are just usual B&B with no further comment, some improvement need for bed cover sheet and wash room. Overall at good set up and keep going.
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.

Good value for money
Nothing special on this hotel but otherwise good value for money. Some guests are noisy talking on the phone, chatting loud even in the middle of tje night.
