A nice stay in Chinatown
Pros:

This is a lovely hostel in the heart of Chinatown, an excellent location to stay in KL. The room is spacious and has excellent air con, and the showers were good too. There is a kitchen area with kettle, free breakfast and a good sized common area. The staff were really friendly and kind. Would recommend staying here.

Cons:

Minor noises - water fountain in the common area is quite noisy at night and can be heard from the rooms. Common area is quite close to the rooms and some guests would be up late into the night talking loudly (not the hostel’s fault)

Pros:

The woman at the front desk was incredibly kind and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was simple but much appreciated and a great way to start the day. The highlight for me was the rooftop common area, it's a peaceful retreat right in the heart of Chinatown.

Cons:

It’s a simple, no-frills property, and it delivers exactly what it promises. The rooms are compact, and the bathroom is quite basic, with the shower positioned over the toilet. Nothing fancy, but appropriate for the price.

Pros:

Great location in the heart of Chinatown. Very friendly and chatty staff at the reception. Rooms are tiny more like Hong Kong standard but fine. Aircon worked well in my room. Quite good tea and sweet bread are served for breakfast.

Pros:

Location is very good if you want to stay in chinatown. The lady from the reception was nice. I liked the rooftop terrace, although very noisy, feels like an oasis.

Cons:

Because of the lack of windows, the room felt very humid and musty. I really struggled breathing in the room. Otherwise, the hotel is ok if you are not having respiratory sensitivity.

In the middle of everything
Pros:

Clean room with comfortable bed and plenty of water in the shower. The Wi-Fi signal is good and the free breakfast is simple but welcome. Close to shops, markets, bars and restaurants and in walking distance of major sites, metro and bus stations.

Would highly recommend!
Pros:

The woman on reception was so welcoming and friendly! We were so pleased to hear there is complimentary breakfast provided (toast, butter, jam, boiled eggs, tea, coffee). The room was small but perfect for the 1 night we stayed! There’s free water refill. The shared bathrooms were very clean!

Cons:

Tiny bit of noise from the water feature in the rooftop garden but otherwise, no problems
