Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Friendly, quiet, no-frills, very basic accommodation. At first, I thought Traveler's Light would save me some money. Unfortunately, they don't offer as much as the average hostel in KK. So when you add the extra fees that they charge, it ends up costing the same or more than other hostels. They offer A/C rooms for a higher price, but the bed only has a bottom sheet. So you must pay extra for towels, top-sheet, blanket. They do have free wi-fi, but if you have no computer, you need to pay a fee per 1/2 hour using their computer station. They have a T.V. next to the reception desk, but no cable TV channels. Like most hostels in KK, they offer a "breakfast", but this means a couple of pieces of bread with jam and instant coffee. The showers have no shelves; they are quite flimsy. They squeeze 4 bunk beds (for 8 people) into a small room, so that each bunk touches the other and there is only room for 4 people to stand in the middle at once. All in all, it feels like the owner is penny-pinching for maximum profit. Other hostels offer more, with better common areas, and free use of computers. Perhaps because this hostel is not popular, it remains underbooked, and therefore more peaceful. — Mike , USA (2012-01-28)
