Cons: Unfortunately, one of the top bunks in the female dorm room had ants living in the wall. After some bug spray this seems to be resolved. I was able to move to another bunk and the owner was contacted.

Pros: Perfect location Within walking distance to the mall, jesselton point, the pasar malam and seafood

Cons: It was noisy as we can hear people talking because our room is right in front of the check in counter

Pros: The Location is decent in the City centre. The breakfast is good with (real, not instant) coffee and waffles and some fruit. The Lady working at that time was friendly and helpful.

Cons: I had a single room which did not have a window and was next to entrance/reception, therefore a bit of noise (not at night, though). Unfortunately, the hostel does not really have a dedicated common area. Therefore hard to meet other travellers or get some Things done. For toilet, you have to take the toilet paper from outside the bathroom with you, otherwise it would get wet because toilet/shower are in the same space. Upon checkout day, I had to pay 5 Ringgit to take a shower after I came back from the beach in the afternoon, which I found Weird.

Pros: The staff at the hostel - Huang Ah Yi was courteous. The relatively small scale of the hostel meant it was cosy and we could get to know the other guests well.

Pros: Location, Friendly Staff, good simple breakfast

Cons: sometimes may a bit noisy due to the room near the lobby.

Pros: Simple but satisfying breakfast. Staffs -Sheldon and Bong - are very nice and accommodating. Location of the hostel is perfect as it is near to almost anywhere around the city. I will definitely stay in this place on my next visit.

Cons: For its price, eveything is perfect. Safe place to stay. Perfect place for the budget travellers because fod stalls are available in the vicinity starting 5pm.

Pros: Yes, the staff, the facilities and everything was according to my expectations wish will visit again soon

Cons: Clean and staff are very cooperative

Pros: Staff are nice. The beds are a good size and are capsule style with curtain so you have privacy. Drinking water and lockers provided. Good location. I extended my stay and then returned when I came back to KK. Would stay again if I’m in the area.

Cons: They have s problem with the water (pump?)so sometimes the toilet (flush), taps and shower stop working. In my experience staff were quick and happy to fix once it was brought to their attention. It was quite loud due to proximity to bars and large dorm so lots of people coming in and out. Can’t complain for the price. Just remember your earplugs!

Pros: Comfy beds with spacious lockers and it was nice to have a ledge to put bags on and a curtain for privacy. Breakfast (toast) also included in the price which was nice. Good place to meet people. Absolutely recommend for the price!

Cons: The noise was sometimes a bit much, for example someone was checking in at 3am and the member of staff showing them around was speaking at a normal conversational level showing them the toilets etc. A whisper would have been appreciated! With so many beds in one space you're bound to be woken up so bear that in mind.
