This week

Something on almost every day

The board in our common area is rewritten weekly. Two of these run on fixed days, so you can plan before you arrive.

Everything meets in the new common area. Activities run subject to schedule and availability.

Activities

Nobody sees Kuala Lumpur on their own here

Every trip goes out as a group and every one of them is free to join. Turn up in the common area at the meeting time.

The hostel

More than a place to sleep

The common area is the whole point. It is where the day gets planned, where somebody talks you into the night tour, and where you end up eating with six people you had never met that morning.

Good to know

Sorted before you ask

The details that decide whether a hostel works for you.

Clean and comfortable beds

A privacy curtain, a reading light and a charging point at every bed, and clean bedding on all of them.

Secure access and lockers

Key card access to the building, CCTV, and a locker at every bed for the things you would rather not carry around with you.

A dorm for women only

The female dorm has the same key card access and the same lockers as the rest of the building.

Free WiFi and laundry on site

WiFi is free, and there is laundry in the building, so a week of washing is not something you carry around Kuala Lumpur.

Every bed has a privacy curtain, a reading light, a power socket and a locker. Check in from 2pm, out by noon.

What guests actually say

I had the chance to volunteer at this hotel for 3 weeks, and honestly, it became one of the best hostel experiences I’ve ever had.

If you are a woman, they will upgrade your booking to female only dorm and the female only dorm has its own space for women only

Staff were friendly and I would highly recommend if you’re staying in KL and want an accom with an atmosphere (but not party orientated).

Very cool hostel in the heart of Bukit Bintang. The price is very fair, its clean, and the staff is lovely.
