clean (I mean spotless everywhere), thankfully a/c, very, very quiet (people wise) cheap, plugs in room, spacious room, close to shops, restaurants and internet place, secure (you have a key for the front gate and room) nicely decorated, linen provided (but not towels). but showers didn't work, hard to find, didn't see any sight of the free breakfast, noisy area, not to be alarmist but if there was a fire you'd never get out. Overall a cosy place to stay, not the place to meet others but if you are looking for a quiet and clean place that is close to everything go here.

This hostel is nasty, I booked one single room for three days but I had to leave after twenty-four hours. The small single bed room that I was given was once a toilet, behind a rubbish bin which can be seen from the window, also constant noises produced from air conditioning system from adjacent building. This is a hell, I couldn't sleep a whole night, I requested them to change the room but they didn't seem to care. Don't stay at this hostel, you will regret.

The hostel is cozy and a nice place to stay if ur in KL ,it has a good location it's in the middle of bukit bintang but hard to find for the first time(that's why it's quite).If you like clean and comfy stay there.but I didn't meet alot of backpackers overe there,so I am looking forward to seeing you after i get back from thailand.plz say hi to ramli who is a very friendly guy..

I stayed at this hostel for four nights. This hostel was small but really worth staying in if you visit Kuala Lumpur! Sean the owner is an American guy who really takes his job seriously. He flaps quite a bit but is amusing for four nights. The lounge area is nice and cozy and you can watch any of his selection of DVDs. It is above an Indian restaurant. It was quite difficult to find as we tried to find it on foot but the taxi guy took us there in the end as it was 4 a.m. and a local bus had just dumped on the street after a dodgy trip down from the island (Thailand)! Anyway, stay here it is definitely a good one.
