The STAFF! Such awesome people!! They helped me out numerous times with information on where to go and what to see and eat. They are really friendly and funny too 😁 the hostel is spotless, floors are super clean, and so are the bathrooms. Loved the kitchen for cooking as well. Air-conditioning was beautiful, especially during the heat, which is 24 hours of hotness, lol. The owner is a wonderful human, so friendly and kind. I recommend the spa next door. I loved it.
My stay was great.
Thank you!!
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Cheap stay at a good location with several points of interest at walking distance. Only about 4 or 5 mins drive to Imago. Beds were comfortable, place was clean, and there's a pool!
The full team is wonderful and they help you with everything they can. The hostel is pretty, clean and very well organized. The common areas are very cozy.
This has been for me the best hostel in all Malaysia 🙂🙃🙂
Modern furnishing and each pod feels very private which is nice. The area immediately outside the hostel doesn’t feel like the most inviting but is perfectly safe, and probably quite insightful. Very central (although not sure that really makes a difference- not huge amounts to do in the city)
Amazing culture, stunning sunsets from the hostel panorama window and very clean!
Definitely one of the very best hostels I’ve been in so far. Special thanks to Jenny of the hostel staff for integrating new people into the amazing social culture!
This is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. It’s more like a hotel. I stayed mostly in a private room with shared bathroom. Wow! It’s the cleanest place I’ve been on my 4 months travel! Super friendly staff, great location and nice room with comfortable beds. And the vibe inside was great! A big plus also for the music☺️
This place has such an amazing vibe..amazing staff, bar downstairs, chill out rooms on every floor. One of the only places I've stayed in kk that feels like a real backpackers hostel. Great location for markets and waterfront. Good dorm size, comfy beds, basic facilities sure but absolutely amazing for the price. Highly recommended :))
This was without a doubt the best hostel I ever stayed in so far. It’s clean, safe, good facilities, nice rooms, nice kitchen and living room, super friendly people who work there,… I definitely go back!
Contactless check in. The cheapest room in town! Comfortable room with hot shower and wifi makes you feel lazy to go out 😂Efficient staff. Great location !ATM, supermarket, cafe and clinic are few steps away! I like the hostel environment with pleasant background music at the lobi..less scary when you came back late at night 🤣
It is a just small hostel with a reasonable price and good service for backpackers or someone who travels on budget. The staffs are very friendly. Room is small and simple, but very clean. They also have a small cozy common area where you can watch Netflix for free at night or enjoy a beautiful sea view through a big window in early morning.
