Great space, excellent staff and cafe!”
Loved staying at this place, for a backpackers/hostel the location is brilliant, just a minute's walk from the Kuala Lumpur Sentral train station, transport hub and mall. The owner is really nice and the cafe space is also delightful for work. They have affordably priced Filipino food at the moment plus the facilities are clean. However, all this also depends on the other guests who are staying at the same time. I stayed here for 4 days and had an overall very positive experience.

Very nice vibe with the best location in Kuala Lumpur!”
I stayed here for over a week. The location is perfect - just across the street from KL Sentral! Petaling Street - the famous street market - is only one monorail station away and right outside the door there are plenty of local food options. The lobby area is the perfect place to hang out with fellow travelers, or to simply just chill. What really makes this place is the staff! The owner, Wah, is such a nice guy (and a devoted Roxette fan)! Thank you Wah for our interesting conversations! I highly recommend this place and I will for sure stay here again!
