The room aircon is definitely cold, The place we stay is near the Petaling Street night market, which was good. Coffee shops and KK mart is available near the premises.
This hotel does not have a elevator, but the workers are kind and helpful, which he help to carry out luggages.The shower is not functioning properly, very weak water supply.

Let's get this out the way. This place is cheap. This is why you're looking. And for what I got for the price, I'm not complaining. The whole place is a decent size (living room, 10 bed room, rooftop and bathrooms) and the bed itself was clean. The table spaces in the living room were clean and no dishes in the sink. No cockroaches. Staff friendly and took my case up to the room on 3rd floor (no elevator) During my time I didn't get drunks shouting in the room or anything. WiFi was fine in the room and living room. I had a plug for my bed which I used to charge my power bank. Be prepared for no windows for the 10-bed room. I'd advise taking a pair of slippers for wearing in the whole place when not wearing outdoor shoes. If you're the sort of person who is going to KL to enjoy the city and use the accommodation as a place to keep your stuff in and sleep in, then you'll be fine here

Staffs - Kumar was the receptionist. He did a fantastic job in accomodating me; friendly vibe overall Room - i got 3 bunkbeds room and it was awesome! It was cold and the bed was super comfortable. The wall socket and lights are working. Overall the best. Kitchen & dining area - in the lobby and pretty chill vibe. Love the decorations and furniture placements with sufficient lighting. Toilet - lota of sink and has warm water People - everyone has great mentality and display better understanding in living together. As expected from various educated foreigners/travellers that came there.
Shower room - water pressure is super low. Not enjoying the shower time at all - big window in the shower room. Holyyy free show for people outside.

Good wifi downstairs, great AC in the room, comfortable double bed and spacious room. Free breakfast is coffee/tea and toast with margarine and jam, which is great. Hostel staff are friendly and helpful. We had to leave at 4am for a bus and they were happy to wake up at that time for us to check out.
There are quite a few bad reviews on Google for this hostel so that is sad, it is a budget hostel and it is very very good value for money. I think people have very high standards for budget hostels here. Cons: Wifi didn’t work in the bedroom but it is good wifi downstairs. Make sure you ask for a room with windows!

I booked for 3 nights and staying for 6. I really like this guesthouse. The location is superb, so near everything and great food places everywhere. So near the train to batu caves. Staff here are friendly. My room is comfortable with air con. Hot shower is very good. I can make coffee here and thoroughly enjoy here. I will definitely book here again when I return to Kuala Lumpur.

It's not bad, definitely better than what the comments suggested. The sink and toilets are clean, the rooms are clean as well, I'd say you get a little bit more than you are paying for. At least my stay was comfortable enough and was above my expectations. Oh, there were no pests in my room as well. I recommend people who likes to travel or just have fun around the city and wants to have a cheap but also comfy place to sleep at night to stay here.
To be fair there is nothing to nitpick about for the price.

staff is super helpful and friendly. Provided me all the tips to walk around the city and also gently bought me a simcard as I was facing some issues to get it. breakfast is simple but it works just fine. location is quite good. really close to buses and metro.
cleaning could be a bit better, specially toilets and also in the room. Spent around 4 days at the place and during this time no one came to clean it up. also need some maintenance as it looks to be an old property. used to be a hotel and it was turned into a hostel. there are some locals living at the place so don’t expect a hostel atmosphere.

When we arrive, the only difficult was the ac not working well, because it is too hot in Kuala Lumpur. But then, they change it during our stay, and encourage us to stay more. We arrive with only one reservation and keep staying all the week.
