Basic hostel in great location

Basic hostel in a great location. Stayed in 4 bed dorm. My only concern is room had an old style key and it was up to each person to lock the door behind them, if this didn’t happen the door stayed unlocked. The 8 bed dorm has an automatic locking door.

A great hostel. I had a solo room, everything was super clean including the bathroom at all times. Great Wi-Fi and coworking area downstairs, staff was so nice and helpful, plus very close to Sentral station and lots of great food nearby.

Walking distance to KL Sentral and surrounding by many (Indian) restaurants, so no problem when you suddenly feel hungry late at night.

Room a little too dark as it is windowless and lighting is not intense enough.

Just really good for an overnight stay.

Check-in, check -out no fuss.

Stay away from this place. I had a reservation for a single room (mini Pod), but it was 2x2 m and the fan sound was terrible. So I choosed to get a dorm bed because ironically the dorm rooma are more spacious. So I will never ever stay again in this hotel. For a few bucks more you can get more comfortable room in other hotels nearby.

The perfect accommodation if you're staying the night before travelling elsewhere in the morning. Service and facilities are perfect although the walls are very thin so if you're staying the night with loud and rowdy people in the next room it can get annoying.

Clean and conveniently located!

The location is perfect with many local restaurants and 24 hour laundromat nearby.
NU sentral shopping mall is 2 blocks away and you can get to all sorts of public transportation from there.
The staff are always happy to answer any questions you may have.
Free breakfast is just bread and jam but hey they always set up 1 type of local fruit with them so how sweet is that!
Try their reasonably priced coffee as well( I tried Iced Americano for 5 MYR and it was great.)
You'll find a lovely group of people sitting around to have a chat with if you want.
Nothing to complain that I can think of this place.
Will visit again if I have another visit to Kuala Lumpur in the future,

Nice location, next to the main transportation

To those who wanted a short trip in Kuala Lumpur and need to travel back the next day, this place is suitable for you. The rate per night is good. Plus it is very close (5 to 10mins walk) to the main transportation such as LRT, buses to airport, and Monorel. Toilet is not so good and a bit smelly, but for a short trip like 1 or 2 days I think you can survive the toilet ;) . Btw, found a camera in the female dormitory and already passed it on to the receptionist.

ホテルも清潔で冷房も寒いくらい稼働していて良かったが、掛け布団が薄くてむしろ寒いくらいだった。16人くらいの広い部屋に泊まったが、2段ベットはプライベートな空間は皆無だが、他の客たちは掛け布団や衣類で仕切りをしてプライベートな空間を確保していた。隣のおっさんのイビキがうるさくて寝れなかったが、値段を考慮すればそれほど不満はない。klセントラル駅までもすぐに行けて交通の弁も良かった。

8時頃にホテルに到着したのですが、ベッドが空いていた為すぐにチェックインさせてくれました。4人ドミトリーに予約したつもりだったのですが16人ドミトリーに割り当てられ、でも16人の方が部屋も大きいし大人数だった為か全く気を遣う事なく気楽に過ごす事が出来ました。個人専用のロッカーもあり薄手のブランケット・バスタオルはありました(カードキー・ロッカーキーのデポジット20ドル)。エアコンが効きすぎてて寒くて眠れませんでした。ホテル周辺は朝から晩(夜中)までずっと賑やかでコンビニもすぐ横にありました。

好立地で安いが、割り切った人向け

駅から近いので、夜チェックインして翌朝チェックアウトするという使い方にはいいと思います。周辺にはコンビニやレストランも多数あります。KLIA高速鉄道からの行き方は、改札を出て左に進み、KLセントラル駅コンコースを抜けて、駅とつながっているショッピングモールNu Sentralに入り、ここをモノレールのKLセントラル駅に通り抜けて外に出ると、隣接する高層ホテルのSentral Hotel(セントラルホテル）がよく見えるので、これを目印にして歩いていくとすぐわかります。モノレールのKLセントラル駅の前からならおおむね徒歩5分足らずです。宿泊したのは２Fの個室（シングルPOD・窓無し）でしたが、2m×1.5ｍの四角い空間を厚いベニヤのような壁で元オフィスフロアを仕切ったような作りでした。エアコンは通常はオフィスにあるような丸い大型の吹出口で狭い部屋を冷やしているので効きすぎでした。なおコントローラーとスイッチが室内にはありませんでした。タオル類は持参するか現地で買いましょう。またビーサンもあった方がいいと思います。

駅近の便利な安宿、深夜早朝の空港利用に最適

KLセントラル駅に近く、立地が便利な安宿です。
駅からは空港(KILA,KLIA2)行きの電車やバスが頻発しており、深夜や早朝に空港を利用する際の仮眠や休息用として利用すると便利です。
Wi-Fiはきちんと繋がり、日本のプラグをそのまま挿せる電源もあるので、充電やネット接続にも支障はありません。
玄関で靴を脱いで、牢屋か室内では素足で過ごします。施設内は概ね清潔です。
食パン+ジャム+飲み物程度ですが、自由に食べられる朝食コーナーがあります。

Super!

Das Hostel war super gelegen, von KL Sentral einmal durch die Mall durch und nach ein paar Schritten ist man im Hostel.

Alles war sauber und jedes Bett hatte einen Locker mit Schlüssel. Duschen waren ebenfalls sauber und geräumig.

Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Im Preis war Frühstück (Toast und Kaffee) inbegriffen.

Der Preis ist unschlagbar und ich würde immer wieder da übernachten, ich hatte einen tollen Aufenthalt!
