Spotless clean! The bed was so comfy I would not wanna leave, each one spacious and more sufficient than other capsule hotels/youth hostels. My stay was even better than I expected. Perfect location & peaceful vibe all around. Lots of food selections including a supermarket nearby. The owner and staffs are helpful & nice! It's a pity I only stayed for a night as it was my last night there. I recommend this budget friendly place and will definitely go back if I have a chance to visit KK again!🤞

Central location with restaurants and market nearby, clean comfy bed with a small lamp, shelf and hangers. Especially liked the small but nice window beside the bed, it really makes the place more spacious and bright. A bit small common area and kitchen with basic utensils and a fridge available. Smooth check in/out, allow you to drop luggage before check in. Clean toilets but wish there was only 1 female toilet and 2 unisex bathrooms, so it can be inconvenient at times. Staff and the guests were all kind and friendly. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was that the hotel confirmed my special request to arrange lower bed, but when I arrived they said lower beds were fully booked and could only give me the higher one. However it's a minor issue and understandable, and I like that they care about their service as they send email to ask for feedback after the stay. Overall a really good bargain!

Overall it is great budget stay with a clean bed and clean bathroom. The bag storage is considered good for backpacking only🤗 They have a comfy living room to wait for early check out, or you just can drop off your keys for seamlessly check out experience👍 Good value of money✅

The front desk brother is very good, the things should be optimistic. It is best to lock the password. It is too expensive to book a hotel alone. This place saved me............ It is very close to Longmen Inn.

Great location just next to a shopping mall. Room is small with no tv. The windows in some rooms were fake. Good for overnight stay to go for a transit flight. But if you are travelling to KK perhaps choose other hotel with bigger room and amenities.

AAnonymous UserGreat stay! Though the cleaner may have missed to leave a roll of toilet paper or it's not provided at all? Suggestion to offer at least a bottle of water which is common when booking a room and they can just add that to the total price! Still a great stay and highly recommended.

GGuest UserNote: This store will ”deliberately” charge a tourist tax (this does not happen in other stores). If no evidence is found, it will charge a tourist tax (RM10 per day). Fortunately, I found the paid tax sent to me by the ordering website. Only after passing the tourist tax ”invoice” can you get back the excess tourist tax!

AAnonymous UserThe location is good, next to shops and not too hard to park. The family room is on the ground floor, the staffs like to spend their leisure time at the counter area recording tiktok and listening musics. We can hear their voices and music even from the room. There's no staff in the morning when we need to check out too. The bathroom is very spacious and clean. Loveeee the interior though!
