Location is right smack in the old town with a 3 min walk to the Filipino Market and literally a stone's throw to the best pork noodles in KK, cleanliness is immaculate (The staff kept cleaning and cleaning all the time) and the value of the accommodation is one of the most feasible in KK. But most of all, it's the staff: Leo, Cynthia, Vivian and the Malay lady that speaks fluent Mandarin (Sorry for forgetting your name) are the best staff to help you when you come to KK. They helped us arrange extra storage for our big backpacks, lent us their personal rice cooker when we needed something to cook with, helped keep the precious rice wine yeast and tapai we bought from the Sabah interior for 2 weeks, helped us with amenities, moved us to a bed that we liked, recommended great places to eat, etc. etc. When we come back to KK, this is the first place we'll stay!

Decided to try this capsule since I was travelling alone + had great experience staying capsule hotels throughout Japan. Good location, rather central, Starbucks & convenience store just downstairs. Paid an average of just S$11 per night, great value considering breakfast is included, though a simple one with bread/ jam spreads/ instant coffee. Washing machine free to use, but your clothes are never really dry since its cramped together with someone else’s wet laundry next morning. The capsules themselves are made from cheap plastic, squeaks loudly every time you move, absolutely nothing like those I stayed througouht Japan, plus the blue themed lights made it even harder to sleep. Wi-fi signal is pretty bad from within the capsule. Spent 3 nights here before moving to the newly built 5-star Marriott across the street.

The breakfast is quite good, you can scramble your own eggs, and the interior of the Youth Hostel will also prepare hungry noodles, coffee, fried rice and bread. The privacy is very good, that is, there are fewer bathrooms, only two, and it takes a while to queue in the morning. The overall feeling is great! The boss and we are very happy to talk, we will speak Chinese, introduce us to shopping mall and specialty stores, and also call the car to take us.

We spent four nights in a double room and really enjoyed our time here. Yes it might be a little difficult to spot/see at first, but we thought it was in a great central location and well worth the money. Staff are super helpful and friendly (they helped arrange car hire for us for the day) and it's easy to use this as a base and use Grab taxis to get around. OK, the walls are paper thin and you hear traffic noise (ear plugs can be hands), but when the aircon is on and you've spent the day exploring and are dead tired you don't notice. Also nice to have an area where you can prepare your breakfast and the place is walking distance to plenty of places to eat. Would happily stay here again - thanks everyone for a great stay.

The staff friendly and accommodate. Value for money, WiFi OK but please brinf personal towel.
