Bird Nest 1 is only 20 steps away from the gate into China Town. It is a very welcoming place with a nice area in the back to relax and meet other people (living room-feeling). They also have a cat. The owner is one of the nicest guy I met here! The rooms are cheap, good backpackers place.

Stayed here for 4 nights after reading great trip advisor reviews and wasn't disappointed. Fantastic china town location, near central market, train stations and GOKL free bus stop. The rooms are small but who cares as there are 2 nice areas to chill out, play jenga, swap travel stories with other guests. There are 2 showers, one with hot water... More

Read about this place here on TA, but did not know where it was. Came to chinatown at 1 in the morning, and it was the first hotel I found, and they let me in! The prices are reasonable, they have a cooking area, a really beautiful livingroom, a super awesome cat, to gekkos (or something) and a nice semi-terrace... More

Birdnest Guesthouse is a great place for backpackers. My wife and I stayed here for four days in a private room with a bunk bed. At 35RM/night for the room, it's the cheapest place we've seen in KL. If you're looking for luxury, look elsewhere, as Birdnest is definitely a no-frills, strictly basics backpacker spot. But there's free wi-fi, friendly... More

We have stayed at Birdsnest a number of times during various ventures through KL. It ticks all the boxes for us. It is clean and cheap. In a very good Chinatown location. It is basic yet still provides all the necessary amenities (towels, laundry, kitchen, hot drinks, hot showers, social area and a cat). Best of all is the advice... More

it was the second stay at the birdnest for me and I still love it. I was coming from Australia where I paid 70 $ for a poor double room in a loud hostel with WiFi what wasn't working. the birdnest is exactly the opposite. It is very nice and cheap and has such a nice atmosphere, good to relax... More

If you like a convivial environment with a nice living room, outside area and sharing with people or just relax, it`s definitely the place to stay. And if you are traveling on budget it s not a problem because it s also very cheap, 15RM for a dormitory, free tea, coffee, fridge, wifi...and smile!!! Without to forget the owner(Wili) and... More
