Value for money & highly sufficient
Pros:

The room is clean and feels spacious enough for a single person. Shared facilities are sufficient - water cooler, iron, washing machine. Public areas smell good including the elevator. Location is very strategic and easy walk to nearest 7-eleven and Family Mart as well as the various cafes, pubs and nasi kandar restaurants. Highly recommended for short stays.

Cons:

The shared bathroom is okay but may need even more frequent cleaning and monitoring. The shampoo provided in the shower smells bad and leaves hair dried out and tangled. Bedroom walls are thin but earplugs provided at the reception counter.

Did the job and glad we chose to stay there
Pros:

The rooms were very thoughtful in terms of what they provided, and they really made the small space work for you. Aircon was quite good, even though at first thought it might not be powerful enough. Enjoyed that they had free laundry service

Cons:

Was right next door to a bar and then had done some work to try and soundproof it. But on the weekends when the bar was busy it was quite loud. Also thought that the bathrooms could have done with a bit more cleaning.

Pros:

Very comfortable bed and a good sized room. Was plenty big enough.

The staff were friendly and helpful.

The shared toilet/shower facilities were well kept.

Cons:

The only negative was the bar next door playing music loud until the early hours. It was quite difficult to sleep at times. Sunday night it seemed to be shut and it was much easier to get a good night's sleep.

Great location but windowless and noisy. Only suitable for a short stay.
Pros:

Great location. Room equipped with convenient power points, ample storage, hairdryer, and a shower bag to use in the shared bathroom. Shower rooms are big and relatively clean. Filtered water available for free. Service is OK.

Cons:

As the other reviews mention, there is a bar next door that plays loud music past 12am, so not suitable if you're a light sleeper. Also, the place is called Sleepbox, because that's what it feels like - you're stuck in a box in a windowless room. Though the place does try to make it feel comfy with little touches, I wouldn't stay here for more than 2-3 nights otherwise you'll suffer from a mental illness. Stay is OK, but not worth the price.

Fantastisch
Pros:

Hele fijne kamer, bed was top. Goede douches en super locatie

Cons:

Voor mij was n het prima maar de wanden zijn dun en er zit een kroeg met live muziek naast. Voor de vroege en lichte slapers wel een ding
