            Really amazing place!”

            Staff was always super nice and friendly, willing to help with anything. The place itself is really modern, clean and cool! It has a great vibe, and the bed is super comfortable. I had a great time, would definitely recommend and stay there again! It’s also fairly close (15 min walk) from the center of Malacca and has a lot of restaurants nearby!

            Wonderful”

            Very helpful personnel - I arrived very late, even after the reception is closed, but the guy waited for me and then took me to eat where he was going for the late dinner too:) Comfortable matresses. Clean bathrooms and overall clean hostel. Basic breakfast(toast with jam, nutella etc). What can you expect what this price?) The only downside is that hostel is a bit far from city center(see map). I like walking, so it was fine for me. Overall, very good hostel with friendly vibes!

            Located at Kota Laksamana business district. Just about 5-10 mins away from the major tourist attractions like Jonker Walk. Affordable price, clean and friendly staff. Highly recommended. Will come back again to try out their queen bed next round. Thank you

            We like the design of the hotel and cleanliness. However, no cabinet/drawer for us to put our belongings, and no place to hang our clothes in the bathroom (only a strip of ion chain inside, emmm...)

            recommended overall”

            the hostel is in a fairly new area with good places to get food nearby. the beds are comfortable and clean but the blankets provided stinks unwashed for long time. hostel lacks of regular cleaning of dorm rooms and toilet/shower. other than that great facilities in the hostel.

            Good Location.”

            Located at the less busy spot in town. However, there are mat rempit speeding bikes in the night that made us couldn't sleep till 2am in the morning. Other than that, the room is clean, the staffs are friendly.

            Amazing hostel!”

            Loved my stay here! The beds are really comfy. They have a really nice lobby and place to stay for a bit. They have free breakfast and for very little money you can have a huge extra choice. Everything is very clean too! And most importantly the staff is so amazing! Each of them was so friendly with their advice where to go. Thank you!

            Poor Maintenane of Bathroom and Bunk Bed”

            Most of the locker underneath the bunk bed are faulty, you don't need the key to lock it as it does not make any difference because they can be opened whether it is locked or not. Most of the shower head in the bathroom are broken, and the water is normally clogged when we wanted to take shower. There's no place to hang our clothes when we want to get changed. The arrangement of the cubicle in the room is not good as it is very difficult to get on the upper deck as the stair is super narrow that it can barely be used to climb. WiFi can only be connected at the lobby and 1st floor but not on the top floor. On top of that, the cleanliness of the hotel is poor. On the other hand, the staff are pretty helpful in attending our needs, there's at least something to be praised about.

            Defactory was so nice but bit far from main street. And staff is so friendly and kind. I could barrow adapter for free, though no need deposit! And also it provided breakfast, but there was only plain bread with kaya jam.kk If you look for some cheap and cozy hostel, I strongly recommend this place!!

            Overall the stay is OK. It is about 25 minutes from the Jonker street on foot, and given the price I paid, it is worthy. The cleanness however needs to be improved. I found a dirt on my sheet, and they merely provide a blanket which is cold at night to me.

            A little bit far out from the attractions but it's easily fixed with a quick GRAB ride. This was definitely the best hostel I stayed in during my whole month in Malaysia, very clean and chill atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough.

            In overall, the place was decent. However, the sound proofing has to be improved. The sound from other rooms's partying were loudly heard from our place of stay and no action was taken.

            I booked and paid one day accommodation at this hotel. Due to the heavy traffic and bus problem, I arrived late at the hotel at 2am from Singapore. The hotel was lock. Tried calling all the 3 hand phones numbers stated at the counter which could be seen from outside, none responded. In the end, I have to hunt around for alternative at 2am.
