Best location. Price is cheaper, staff is also very friendly. The breakfast is only toast and coffee. lol However can use 24-hour hot water in the kettle, so you can eat at any time, such as instant noodles. No amenities. towel also nothing. Bus toilet is clean, but the water pressure is pretty weak. Room with windows Smoking is permitted... More

The only good part of this guest house was location and wifi. However, there are a lot of worst part of it as follow:- 1) TV and DVD player: No TV channel, just for DVD only. 2) Surroundings: I can smell the strange odour in this premise when I first entered to check-in. Hardly to find a parking space near... More

Don't stay here unless you want to get sick. This place is an absolute disgrace. Dirty, mouldy and smelly. Doubt that it has ever been cleaned, and we checked two seperate rooms. Would have left immediately but had pre booked and paid and arrived in the middle of the night. The WORST excuse for a hotel I have ever seen.

No service, Rooms too small. Stay away if you are on a family trip. One thing that is good is location very near to KL nightlife area. I visited KL during new year with friends and was in the room only to sleep for a few hours. But if you consider the price ($20/night) than above all is acceptable.

This place is a complete dump. The min you walk through the front door you are hit with the stench of damp. It gets worse after that. The rooms are in a state of disrepair and dirty. I tried 2 different rooms and both were the same. The bathrooms have black mold all over the place and stink. The bedroom... More

For a budgeted guest house like this, you cannot expect more. My experience during my stay was quite ok because it was only one night. The room was very small and not comfortable. I found a cockroach. The blanket seemed never been washed, so i didn't use it. The toilet was dirty. Yeah, this was what i got for what... More

The price is decent and the location is great but that's the only things good about this hotel. Unlike what the other reviews said, this place is NOT clean. There is a reason why there are no photos of the bathrooms. "Complimentary toiletries" is a tiny bar of soap. Upon arrival I already killed 2 cockroaches in the room and... More
