    “Super recommendation”

    It's very close to the light rail station, just a 5-minute walk. There are many restaurants nearby, and it's close to Chinatown. The owner is very nice and can speak Chinese. The wash area is in the room; it can be a bit noisy if someone is blow-drying their hair. However, the guests are all very well-mannered, and no one blows their hair early or late. The bedding is very comfortable, highly recommended, and I will choose this place again next time!

    “It’s an affordable average hostel”

    It’s decent but old in many ways specially in the dormitory section there is no high commode, no handwash. Rooms are filled with lot of people so things might get noisy at times. And be aware of the charging slots, they are purely malaysian styled.

    “A nice place to stay for limited budget traveller ”

    It is a nice place to stay for those backpacker who has limited budget, and it is near central market which has several food or souvenir on there. It also has a convenience store 7-eleven nearby. The WiFi is reliable. The staff is friendly
