                Cheap hostel in Chinatown ”

                It’s very basic and cheap, the location is very good (Chinatown). - Room (blanket/sheets/towel) was clean. - The shower/toilet could have been more clean. - The chilling/reception area needs a makeover! The space is great but it needs an upgrade ;) - One guy from the reception is very helpful/nice. The other guy (with cap) is very weird and burps the whole time, which is very disgusting.

                The room is so cheap that it is totaly okay that the room is small and has no window! We stayed before in an other hotel exactly the same room but it cost 40 Ringgit! If you want a nicer room in KL you have to pay more! The staff was very friendly and helpful during our stay! The room and bathroom is clean! We would stay there again!

                Smoking permitted. Do you like cigarette smoke?”

                First, the good stuff. Excellent price, comfortable bed, great WiFi. Now the bad stuff: The bed occupied 66% of the room; we had trouble getting around each other. No hot water in the shower. The upholstery was falling off the chairs and sofas in the lobby. No air conditioning in the lobby. But the worst part is that smoking is permitted. They even had ash trays on the coffee tables for the smokers. In short, I have no plans to go back and I can not recommend it to others.

                Disappointed ”

                First 3 days we booked Non-ac . It was worst , no ventilation and blood bugs inside bed and also worst staff . Though we moved to aircon 4th day , the staff don't know anything about payments. i have payment slip clearly they says not yet paid . whom to i blame now while sitting outside one- two hours either agoda.com / the staff. !! i guess the staff has no knowledge and very slow not receiving properly .!! Rating of Ranting is 2.5/6 in my views .!! thank you, swarupreddy

                In China town, near public transportation, good budget

                Nothing special. Room was too small, it made me feel breathless. We used shared bathroom and it wasnt clean and the mosquitoes bit me. So terrible! But luckily with centrally located in Chinatown and good for budget. I don't really recommend!

                location

                location very good, at the busiest street of petaling street. but the hotel was poorly design. itself is an old building, with poor renovation, poor room compartmentation, poor sound barrier. Others talking at walkway can be clearly heard in room. Shaky floor due to poor renovation. bed comfort was lower than average.

                Room is very small. Bed sheets and pillow cases seemed it was not changed or washed properly. Only thing interesting is the location. Nothing else. Slept for a few hours at night, bathed in the morning and spent wholeday out. Also, have MYR 30 ready when checking in as a deposit but is being refunded when checking out.

                Don't be mind to spend more money for better and more comfortable place to stay. This guesthouse is totally uncomfortable; dirty and close-spaced even it is super cheap.

                It has a pet monkey named Goku. That was interesting. Its also bang smack in china town. Thats good. It was the cheapest two person available in thay area. But it was pretty rungus. Would stay if I was broke, but it was fairly unpleasant sweaty sleep.

                We were backpacking, so se wanted something cheap. If you are looking for something cheap and good located this place is fine, but I would personally never come back again. It was a bit hard to find, the smell was weird, and nothing was clean. It looks like a horror movie motel. Anyway, we didn't have any problem and the wifi was great.

                Everything at this place was very bad, but I am only going to mention the moment I went out of the room and I saw A RAT running around the corredor. Please do not book a room at this place, you will regret it.
