We booked our stay at Serai Inn a couple of months ago on hostelbookers and paid a deposit, a couple of days before we were due to arrive we had a problem with our English bank card which meant we couldnt access our money, all we had was a credit card. Knowing that alot of Malaysian business do not accept... More

Normally, we do not accept payment by credit card because our profit margin is very low. However, we do it if the customer is willing to bear the commission charged by the bank. An e-mail containing a payment link will be sent to the customer's e-mail address. Unfortunately, the receptionist handling 915Dan's case was new. He thought we did not... More

The hostel was close to the train station and the touristy areas such as Chinatown, Little India and Merdeka Square. The staff gave me a lot of information but I found quite some was incorrect. They told me some places in my guidebook didn’t exist and recommended me somewhere else. In the end I found the place that I was... More

We had a hard time finding a decent place to stay in KL, and then we came across Serai Inn on the agoda website. What a great budget hotel! We stayed here twice. The first room we had on the main floor was great. The bed was super comfortable, it was quiet and dark and night time. The 2nd room... More

We arrived late afternoon and were leaving early the next morning. It was ideal for the cheap bus from the LCCT, and perfect for the bus station and lots of veggie restaurants nearby which was all we were looking for. On arrival they were really helpful about telling us where to go and how to get there. Although, they did... More

at all hours of the night, then this is the place for you. Walls the thickness of cardboard and inconsiderate inmates... oops, I mean guests, make for no sleep. Plus the little tiny ants that live in the closet sized rooms will cause itching all night while youre laying awake listening to all the inconsiderate jerks conversing. Luckily, the bathrooms...

I really liked this place. The staff were more helpfull than you can imagine, helping us book a taxi to the airport for a good price. They were always helpfull to point us in the right direction and supplied us with maps. The rooms are small, but you're in KL and the place is so cheap! Only a 5 minute... More

I arrived late at night, but the instructions they'd emailed to me enabled me to find the place without too much trouble. I panicked when I saw the door was locked, but then it occurred to me to sound the buzzer, and the night staff opened the door for me. My single room was small, bed and air-con only, but... More

We are a couple with a child and paid RM96/night to stay in a 4 single bed room at Serai Inn. The room was sparsely furnished, with only the 4 beds and air conditioner in the room (no table/chairs and therefore no where to put bags/clothes). There was wifi but was pretty useless on the top floor. However the room... More

Nice, clean hostel with very friendly, helpful and informative staff. Our double room was very small, as you’d expect, but the corridors were light and airy and the common room on the top floor was pleasant and spacious. I really liked the location which was slightly further out of Chinatown than most of the other hostels, but within easy walking... More
