There were 3 hot showers for guests which were regularly cleaned. Included in the 20rm a night is a small breakfast, which i thought was really... More

Stayed for one night in this hostel, we had the entire 4 bed dorm to ourselves. The room is windowless, but for only RM 28 per bed, what else can we ask for? Unexpectedly the price includes a decent breakfast. I had arrived at the hostel after a 6-hour midnight drive from KL. The owner offered me a bed to... More

Red Inn has very clean and well-maintained rooms. I stayed in a twin bed room where there was a bunk bed. The rooms are quite small and do not have any table or raised surface except the bed, but there was enough floor space for our bags to fit and it was OK. The walls are VERY thin though, so... More

I had a single room no bathroom- very cheap, but clean (which is rare in a hostel), and very quiet. I arrived at 9am after an overnight flight and my room was ready so they let me check in early to sleep. Very comfy bed. The staff are very helpful. A very relaxed chilled out atmosphere. The location is great,... More

When you go traveling it is so difficult to find somewhere brilliant, special and full of character. After looking at the website we felt that this place might be that place and the price certainly led us to believe that it would be fantastic however we were let down. The pictures on the website are terribly misleading and this place... More
