"One of the nicer hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Bed was comfortable and liked the size of the bunk and the setup. Could keep my bag at foot of bed in the bunk, and there was also a locker under the bed. Close to Petronas Towers and seemed pretty easy to get around in my short stay."

"Péssima. Me colocaram em um quarto sem janelas, sem ar condicionado, sem ventilador, sem qualquer ventilação, com cheiro de mofo muito forte e baratas. Pingou água do teto no chão, ao lado da cama. Paguei 03 noites e só consegui ficar 01, com muito esforço. Acho que foi a pior experiência em hostel já reservada por aqui "
