I checked in this hotel as no rooms were available in nearby hotels. It was really an awful experience to stay in this hotel. The toilets were so dirty and nobody from hotel management ever seems to bother to fix the broken toilets, shower etc… The rooms were though of a reason size but they were smelly. The hotel is...

I stayed a night in january 2012, out of nessecity as there were no rooms in a few of my usual haunts. I stayed in the dorm which was very large but quite dingy with no central lighting and no exterior window. The bed had its own fan, desk lamp and plug sockets as well as access to a locker... More

One week intensive treatment with cortisone, antibiotics and anti esthamine which cost me more than the price of the night there and one month protecting myself against the sun to... More

Second time I have stayed at Red Dragon, the first we had no problems (albeit, only stayed 1 night) so we came back... We planned a full day of sightseeing and wanted to be up early for the Petronas Towers on check in day so asked if we could leave our bags in the room at around 7am, then we... More

We got laundry done here.... It was expensive but we didn't know where any others were & it was heavy to carry round in the heat. They made us pay in advance. Went back the next day to collect it, had a quick look, the top item, a pair of trousers which had been covered in mud were still covered... More

This is the worst hostel I have EVER stayed in! First they offered us discount on a room because the bathroom was being done up, when we got in it the smell was disgusting. We checked the toilet which was not connected to anything and it had poo in!! So it obviously wasn't checked. They moved us to another room... More

I often transit through KL (airasia) and have always stayed in the dorm when at red dragon. This time I had a few nights before moving onto India. Service was ok in the past, but this time front desk was rude and not helpful at all. I was the only female staying in the dorm (which was full), however bathroom... More

I spent one night here, front room, no problem. Stayed another time, back room, got bed bug bites, woke after 12pm told staff, moved me to another nearby room, woke at 4.30 covered in bites, worst I've ever had. Told staff, watched their treatment method, turned mattress upside down, sprayed with insecticide. I would suggest avoiding the place.

Laidback staff, acceptable budget rooms with tiled floors and a/c. Other reviews mention bedbugs - would not have stayed there if I'd read that! - but there was no sign of them in the room I had, ultimately though I couldnt stand the shared bathrooms. Cheap and centrally located, with one hour of free internet use.
