This hostel is very good. First of all, the location is very good. It is right in Gaya Street. The facilities are relatively new. The public area is large enough. The decoration style is very modern. The only drawback is that the deposit is too expensive. It took me 200 Malaysian ringgit.

I’ve been to x10 hostels and motels in 5 continents and I can firmly say that this one is the best; far exceed expectations! The place is spacious and clean! I saw their staff cleaning the bed, kitchen, AC and the common areas: the work is thorough; I don’t  think I do as much and as good a job for my own house! They WASH the AC once a month: who can beat that? On top of that, the staff is nice and helpful! Price is unbeatable! The common areas is cozy! Jalan Gaya is right outside the main door! Night and Sunday market is feet away! I’ll definitely come back!

The bed sheets and quilt covers were really dirty, as if they had not been changed. The pictures were taken by me, and I didn't take the others. I didn't want to find anyone to check in until after 3am, but luckily I brought disposable items. The service was very good. Remember to bring cash when you check in, both Malaysian Ringgit and RMB are acceptable. Otherwise, you won't be able to find a place to withdraw money outside at night. I went to several banks nearby, and the ATMs were not like those in China, which were closed at night. I couldn't withdraw money from the ATMs in the convenience store either. There were also geckos in the room, which was very scary~
