        A very knowledgeable and helpful staff, they helped us find a way to get to the jungle (taman negara) because the online sites for booking the bus did not work. Very good location, there is a good and cheap restaurant just outside the hostel. There is a no shoes policy which helps keep the place very clean.

        There are plenty of bathrooms. The location is very good and there is an Indian restaurant right in front of the hostel. The best things are the big lounge with plenty of seets and the bar upstairs. There is a happy hour every day and it's very easy to meet new people there. But you can also just chill and enjoy a beer if you are not into going out or so. Then the staff- each of them was super helpful and welcoming. Greetings to Sam- such a great person. Will definitely come back!

        I felt welcome from the first minute. The staff does a great job. Especially Sam, who was so helpful and friendly. You can chill at the lounge or terasse and in the evening people get together at the bar and go out at 12 to the area with bars and clubs 5 minutes away. But you can also still sleep in quiet if you decide to.

Facilities were good with a bar and happy hour deal, and free breakfast. Only improvement is to have a shoe rack downstairs so guests don't have to carry their shoes upstairs every time!

        Great!”

        Dorms KL was a great choice. Located in the middle of Bukit Bintang (right behind a busy food street and near great cafes and bars). A solid 10 minute walk from the Imbi monorail station and Berjaya Times Square mall. I stayed in a 6 bed mixed dorm. Not sure if it was just our room, but a downside is that for some reason the AC doesn't reach the top bunk so we had to keep it freezing cold so those on top would be comfortable. I happened to be in a bottom bunk and had to wear a jacket and scarf to even attempt sleep! Towels are included, which is great and each room locks with a keycard. Rain showers are fantastic and bathrooms are very clean. Only big downside for me was that someone stole (accidentally borrowed?) my pajamas and water off of my bed. So bizarre. Breakfast is also included (roti canai or toast with butter and jam, coffee or tea) and wifi is fast in the lobby. TV hooked up to Netflix also a plus!

        Great stay”

        Amazing location. 10 minutes walk to Bukit Bintang, 10 minutes walk to Imbi monoral station, 3 minutes walk to famous Jl.Alor, 20 minutes walk to Puduraya bus station. The place is clean, wifi is great, the staff are so friendly, I was in love with Leo the cat and Billy - the owner's daughter. Met lots of nice people there. Nasi Kandar restaurant in front of the hostel is 24 hours and also serve amazing food. The bed is so comfortable, I slept nicely through the whole 2 nights. The only cons was for my experience in particular maybe, because I was staying in 6 bed dorm where there was a couple who keep on doing PDA in front of me, and at night this couple switched off the AC, so I feel suffocated and can't sleep and decided to move to single room immediately (with extra paying,o f course) But the girls in receptionist really helpful in responding my request and once I had my single room, I was content and happy, no complaint at all Definitely will come back again if I visit KL

        Great location, good for budget travellers”

        Pros: ✔️ Supeeer great location, behind Jalan Alor, near Pudu Sentral, quite near MRT Bukit Bintang, Monorail Bukit Bintang, GoKL Bus stop 💯 ✔️ Almost all tourist spots are considered walkable from this place! (Or maybe I just like walking haha) ✔️ Very filling FREE BREAKFAST! ♥️ ✔️ Female dorm available 👍 ✔️ Sufficient no. of shower/toilet rooms ✔️ Friendly vibe 💕 Cons: (Quite tolerable tho) ➡️ Quite noisy, esp. if in 2nd flr. where they hold the dorm parties/events ➡️ No own light per bunk (reading/studying at night is not possible) ➡️ Not ideal for long-term stay coz they don't replace sheets and towel But overall I would still recommend this place to other people 👍
