Mei, ChangHad a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is excellent and extremely convenient. A pharmacy, 7-Eleven, bank, and many restaurants are all within walking distance. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and the town center is only about 3–5 km away, making it easy to get around.
The staff were also very friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a great place to stay for both business and leisure travelers. Highly recommended!

BeglyiThe only plus is the hotel's price. It's located on the outskirts of the city, but there's a bus stop right around the corner that goes to the city center or the bus station. Both check-in and check-out are completely contactless. However, if you arrive without phone service, that's a problem, as all instructions only arrive once you're already there. The room was stuffy, the AC wasn't working, and the towels and blankets were worn out. The light in the bathroom kept flickering.

Overall, the experience was acceptable
the ocation was convenient about a 10-15 minute ride to the city centre, which made getting around quite easy.
However, there were several issues during our stay
Cleanliness: We noticed some smallinsects on the floor. While it didn't significantly affect aur stay, it would be better if the rooms could be more thoroughly checked and cleaned.
Customer Service: All communication had to be done online through WhatsApp, as there was no face-to-face front desk service. This was quite unconventional and sometimes made things less convenient when we needed assistance urgently.
Room Equipment: One of the air conditioners in our room kept switching on and off by itself and wasn't functioning properly. Even more concerning, the hairdryer had a short circuit, produced a burning smell, and even sparked flames. This was a frightening experience, and although it was eventually replaced, waiting a full day for such a serious issue was very disappointing.

A very clean European-style youth hostel, with very cute kittens downstairs. The air conditioning is sufficient, the location is convenient, the facilities are well maintained, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The whole environment is very clean, because you need to take off your shoes. The cat is very well behaved and cute, and the atmosphere is very warm. Have to take off your shoes when entering the door.
The hostel is chic and practically design, the accommodation was tidy and cozy with affordable price. Moreover, the spacious common area and separated Male/Female bathrooms, simple pantry with 3in1 coffee, tea bag, snacks, water dispenser and microwave oven. There are 3 cute & friendly cats in the hostel too. The public space design is not very interactive.
The capsules or boxes are comfortable. Have good locker system which uses card. The capsule pod was poor ventilation after cover by curtain as there is no mini fan and exhaust fan, towel not provided. After pulling the curtains and turning on the light, you can clearly see dust flying around. It is generally very clean, but the bed is relatively small
This dormitory hostel has strategic location and are good, small, noisy electronic lockers, privacy curtains don't bring that much privacy.
Staff don't seem to care a lot about what's happening and the staff are not that friendly. The mattress was comfortable. The lobby was clean and offered complimentary hot water and snacks, which was a nice touch.
There are no bath towels and slippers, and it costs RM5 to ask for a bath towel. No hot water for shower and 2in1 shampoo/body wash provided but rarely replenish. The bathroom and toilet have windows to the outside, so they are more ventilated, the space is large, and they are very comfortable to use. The shower head has a brass retro shape, which is super beautiful.
No deposit needed, easy to check in and check out. Location is strategic and near to major attractions, shopping malls and eateries within walking distance. But no lift and amenities. Have to climb up stairs and suitable for younger generations.

Utopia moiThe hotel's location is excellent, very airy, and the rooms are great too. It's convenient and cheap to get a taxi to other hotels. Breakfast is also included and quite good. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

The hotel room facilities are quite nice, and overall the stay was fairly comfortable. However, I have two small suggestions:
1. The hot water dispenser in the downstairs doesn't work smoothly — it's hard to get hot water to come out.
2. There are mosquitoes in the downstairs room. I suggest the hotel can install screens on the windows to keep the mosquitoes out and improve the stay experience.
Overall, the service is fine. I hope these small issues can be addressed, it would make my next stay more satisfying.

Fan2chanHad a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely superb, right in front of the famous Jonker Street Market, which made it so easy for us to enjoy the street market during weekdays. The hotel amenities were great, they also have the water station provided for guests, which was very convenient.
I would also like to personally thank Ms. Anjali for her kind assistance in helping me send back my belongings that I accidentally left at the hotel. Your help was truly appreciated.
Overall, an amazing experience and I highly recommend this hotel. 10/10!
