Hotel Details

Location

The hostel is a 10-minute walk from Chan Sow Lin MRT station, placing key attractions and the city centre within easy reach.
Located 4 km from Berjaya Times Square and 6 km from Petronas Twin Towers, the property sits in a mixed-use area directly above a train line - some rooms experience noise from passing trains. The MRT station is the primary transport link, making exploration easy: Bukit Bintang is two stops away, and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport is 25 km from the property. The surrounding area features a large complex with many affordable restaurants, a 7-Eleven across the road, and a 10-minute walk to the metro, though the immediate streets can feel worn down. Guests preferring a car should note there is no parking available on site.

Dining

Breakfast is a limited complimentary continental offering; there is no on-site restaurant.
A free breakfast is included with the room, consisting of toast, jam, cornflakes, powdered milk, and tea or coffee. This is a basic continental spread and may not suit those seeking a substantial morning meal. The shared kitchen is available for guests to prepare their own food, though some equipment (cutlery, microwave) is provided. The surrounding complex and street level are packed with affordable restaurants offering local cuisine, including Nasi Lemak from a stall directly across the street, and a variety of Asian eateries at local prices. For those who prefer a wider selection, the area provides excellent value dining options.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, a shared kitchen, and a TV lounge are provided; parking is not available.
Wi-Fi is free in all areas, though connection speed and reliability can be inconsistent. The shared kitchen is equipped with basic utensils and a refrigerator. A shared lounge with a TV is available. The property also has laundry facilities on the first floor. Reception staff speak English and Malay and can assist with tours and transport arrangements. The property is non-smoking throughout. Towels are available for a small fee (MYR5). Storage lockers are available but may not be present in all dorms. No parking is available.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book through the platform and confirm the final total includes all taxes and fees to avoid unexpected charges at checkout.

  • 02

    Request a bed in the female-only dorm if you prefer a private bathroom within the dorm and a quieter environment.

  • 03

    Plan meals from the shared kitchen or take advantage of the wide variety of affordable restaurants nearby, as breakfast is limited and there is no on-site restaurant.

  • 04

    Factor in the 10-minute walk from the MRT station; use the train for easy access to the city centre and attractions.
