Pros:

The hotel is very well located in the city centre.

The customer service is excellent: the reception is open 24 hours a day, and the staff are very helpful.

The room was nice and clean, and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Be aware that you need to bring 200 MYR in cash for the room deposit, which was a bit of a surprise for us.

Our room faced the hotel’s spotlight, and despite the curtains, it stayed very bright all night. The street was also quite noisy. Luckily, we had sleep masks and earplugs.

Overall, a good hotel with great service and a convenient location, but light sleepers should request a room away from the street and the lights.

Pros:

I stayed one night in the mixed dormitory at Signel Poshtel and was impressed! The bed felt private and comfortable, facilities were clean and modern, the system of lockers outside the room worked well, and staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel location is excellent, just off Gaya Street. A great budget option in the centre of KK!

Cons:

Nothing.

Amazing for being a 3* and so well priced.
Pros:

Considering the cost and it being a 3* it was incredibly clean and tidy, with a large room.
The shared toilets and showers were very clean and well presented.
The staff were very cheery and polite.
The Aircon was quiet enough to sleep with it on which has not always been the case with other places I have stayed.
Surprisingly they had Netflix setup for you which I've not seen anywhere else.
It has some really good food spots just minutes away.
I'm genuinely baffled with how it's 3* and so well priced.

Good value for money, simple but happy place
Pros:

Clean place, friendly staff

Cons:

The windows were very thin and it’s very central- right on top of the night market which was noisy on a Friday and Saturday
