Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Noise from the party strip — The hostel sits above an Irish pub on a lively nightlife street, and thin walls mean music from next door can carry into rooms.
  • Hard to find — There's no visible signage, and the entrance is above a pub, making it tricky for first-time visitors to locate.
  • Very basic amenities — Only free Wi-Fi and breakfast are listed, and one guest noted there was no soap in the shower – the essentials are covered, but little else.

“The place was spotless and the staff, including the owner, were genuinely kind and helpful. For the price, the services are excellent – free breakfast, towels, and fast Wi-Fi. The location is central, with KLCC and KL Tower a short walk away. A great stay with fantastic value.”

6.2Verified guest

“This is the tidiest hostel I've come across in KL, and the location is much better than other hostels. The staff are friendly and helpful. It's one of the best hostels I've stayed at – perfect for backpackers and travelers who want to enjoy their time.”

6.2Verified guest

“So quiet and relaxing, with great comfort and cleanliness. Breakfast is available until 12pm, the living hall is huge, and there are security cameras and lockers. The smoking zone on the rooftop has an amazing view at night, and drinks are sold at very reasonable prices, so you don't need to go out – especially handy in the rainy season. Helpful and friendly staff.”

6.2Verified guest

“The staff were very welcoming and explained the facilities and house rules clearly at check-in. There's an information board with all the transport details, which is really useful for backpackers. The Wi-Fi, breakfast, and other facilities are well worth the price – I'd definitely come back.”

6.2Verified guest

“Great location, within walking distance of the Petronas Twin Towers. The front office manager was polite and helpful, and the price is decent.”

6.2Verified guest

“My stay was great, with very helpful staff. The facilities are far better than other hostels at this price, especially the breakfast and free high-speed Wi-Fi. I met new people in the living room, and since the hostel is on a party street, I had a lot of fun with new friends. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in KL.”
