Great location
Pros:

Comfortable bed, great shower. Staff are friendly & helpful. Very social vibe but not a party place. Free simple breakfast. Excellent location to metro, supermarket & chinatown.
I'd stay there again when back in KL.

Cons:

Can be a bit noisy at night with the bar/pub downstairs, mainly weekend nights but I was there on a holiday weekend, nothing earplugs can't fix!

Très bon, rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent : le prix est très bas et les prestations valent largement ce tarif. Idéalement situé juste à l’entrée, près de chinatown. Cet hôtel est parfait pour une ou deux nuits. Le personnel est très gentil et particulièrement arrangeant.

Best bang for your buck in KL Chinatown
Pros:

We liked it so much we stayed here twice! Location is perfect, staff is super friendly, rooftop lounge area is wonderful, A/C works, nice little breakfast, book exchange!

Cons:

Sometimes the shared bathrooms weren't the cleanest but what can you do, it's a shared bathroom. The rooms are very small but it wasn't a problem for us!

Pros:

Excellent location right by chinatown and close enough to an MRT station.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Check in was easy and quick.
Beds were big and comfortable.
Simple breakfast included.

Cons:

The room had no window and the shower/wet room didn't aerate fully, which meant there was a damp smell the whole time.
The wet room also didnt drain fully which left a puddle in the middle of it.
During the night there was a low rumbling sound going on and off every few seconds.
