The beds were very comfortable and i liked the lock system which made me feel safe. They provide you with a free towel which is not common in most hostels and the kitchen is well equipped.InesSolo traveller
- 8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 472 reviewsThe complex is equipped with a roof top pool, a gym, another pool, a library and some mini markets. This is what makes this hostel exceptional! The hostel itself isn’t what you’d expect, as it is only an apartment equipped with bunk beds. It is very clean however and there is a dining table and a couch that serve as a common area. Cooking is not allowed, but a microwave and a rice cooker are available.RettenwanderYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: £10.178.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 1,389 reviewsBest hostel for this price. For this price you won’t find a better one, it fully corresponds to its rating. Free towel, shampoo and soap. There is a kitchen, stove and drinking water - you can safely cook. If you pay extra, breakfast is offered. Huge lockers that can fit an entire 80-liter tourist backpack. A very charismatic administrator. Quiet and peaceful place, nearby there are inexpensive cafes and grocery markets.VladislavSolo traveller
- Avg. price/night: £49.838.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 76 reviewsGood value for money. The location is suberb and Berjaya Times Square is a nice local mall next to tech mall and Bukit Bintang area. It’s easy to commute from by both monorail and taxi. The apartment 17-20 was spacious with two double beds and an aircon. Check in and check out went fine although it doesn’t say anywhere that they only take cash payment. I got stuck in traffic and had to check out late and that went smoothly. Other apartments in the complex could be a better option. This one is cheap and might not be safe.

Great location close to the night streets and an easy walk to pretty much anything! Very clean. Great showers. Drinking water provided + free cappuccino machine! The dorm rooms are very comfortable. Be advised that the dorm rooms do get noise from the streets below... usually musicians playing. I was easily able to ignore it. The manager is super friendly and goes out of his way to help the guests- he even organized a social event on the rooftop patio of the hostel.davidSolo traveller

stephanieSolo traveller - Avg. price/night: £13.458.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 368 reviewsI don’t understand WHY people would complain about this place like previous comments such as traveler from UAE lol because you are paying at a very LOW PRICE to stay here at a VERY GOOD LOCATION... so the hostel of course wouldn’t have high end features. It provides basic features. To me it has , GOOD PRICE, GREAT LOCATION, GUARDED, hot water, WIFI, LARGE COMPOUND area which you wouldn’t feel so trapped like in hotels… and safe for Female travelers..
