Not provided tea coffee and kettle.

If you need five star fancy, this isn't for you. But if you value clean, air-conditioned rooms with their own bathroom, very helpful, friendly staff and a good restaurant on the ground floor.....this is the place !!
And you don't HAVE to be Young, Male or Christian. And what a bargain !! I'd love to go back again.

Very convenient place to put up for a night, especially if you're not a light-sleeper. The place is clean, water pressure in our room on the 2nd floor was good, the warm water shower was great after a tiring day, & the working airconditioned made the room comfortable to just relax in. It's a basic room with a jug kettle to boil some water, a desk & comfy work chair to get some work done, as well as a comfortable enough bed beddings to rest. There's also a water dispenser at the hallway. I liked that parking is available for RM2.20/day only (with validation). There are also plenty of good food options around & transportation options as well.

The only thing we really struggled was the noisy night environment, where not just the sound of vehicles, but possibly drunk humans, & karaoke music from shops or stalls nearby in the wee hours of the morning. If you're a very light sleeper, you'll need to request for a room that's hopefully not facing the backroad like ours. We're generally not light sleepers, but this was 1 night where I really struggled to get a good night's sleep.

Budget hostel/hotel close to Sentral Station

Spent three days here, picked the hotel because it's proximity to Sentral Station. The pictures are nicer than the room itself, the size is a bit small and it's a bit outdated, but it's adequate for a few nights sleep. It's close to local transportation, eateries, money exchange and small grocery stores. Due to it's central location I expected a noisier room (on one side of the building there are eateries, the other side there is a busy road) but I stayed on the road side, it was OK. Staff is nice and helpful.

Good Location, Great Hospitality

This is the 4th year I am staying at this property, and it seems to be deteriorating every year. While the location is still brilliant as it is central and accessible, the toilets need to be done up. One of the rooms given to us had no temperature control on the water heater - so there was just hot and cold water. No breakfast anymore. However, the location is great and the people still retain the Asian hospitality and so I would gladly use the place again.

YMCA KL-a true hostel and not a brothel!

No smoking, drugs, alcohol or unsavory characters on the premises. Excellent security among people who seemed peace loving and highly moral. The YMCA-KL reminds me of the first \"Y\" that I visited many years ago in Chicago. The emphasis was on the \"C\" back then and it was where I was taught my first passage from the Book of Psalms-the 23rd chapter.

Excellent central position. Everything I needed.

I cancelled my booking in the tourist precinct of Bukit Bintang because I was looking for community Tai Chi to join in and I found it at the YMCA. Ginnie Lai, Community Development at the Y was very helpful, and passed me on to others who are involved in groups in the community nearby. Good start.

The room (twin) was spacious and provided everything I needed at the best rate in town. Basic, but the air con and wifi are good and the cafe down stairs for the complementary breakfasts has a good menu and is open until 10. There is also a laundry co-located which is very efficient and cheap. Security is good, staff are polite, and businesslike. I was a single female travelling alone and felt safe.

5 mins walk from the KL Central Station which is a transport hub for trains, including the Express to the airports, buses, Hop on / off, and monorail. Also there is a system of free pink commuter buses \"Go KL\" which pass nearby.

Because of the location, activities, room amenities, easy transport etc my week was very busy and very successful. Then I came back after my trip north to Kelantan and stayed another night in a recently renovated double room which was a bit smaller but still very comfortable. Not a resort, but I did not want that stuff.

Too busy to take photos!

A few steps away from KL Sentral transport hub

Cosy place to stay which is only steps away from the KL Sentral transport hub that makes the rest of KL very accessible from here.

Though the furniture and fittings may appear old, they are comparable to those in budget hotels. Excellent room cleanliness, a sign of facilities well maintained.

Staff are friendly and helpful when approached. However, service at the concierge counter is rather slow because even when there are two staff members at the counter, only one of them will be serving the guests one at a time.

Chose to return to YMCA Brickfields because of the added security I enjoyed during my first stay two years ago. In addition to the key for each room, guests needed to gain access to the corridor at their level via a glass door with a convenient tap of a security card issued for the specific level. However, during my recent stay, though the glass door with the security feature was still in place, the operating system was switched on but was not activated. Hence guests were able to pass through the glass door without having to tap the card to unlock it electronically. Without this additional security feature, YMCA Brickfields will not be able to differentiate itself from the competing budget hotels nearby.

2) House keeping should extend until 10 pm, as many customers arrive late for check in the hotel.If you ask for additional pillow or blanket you wait until the next day
