Not book it, nobody will help you. Staff doesn't care.

Disliked Bedbugs!!!! No towels, no soap, no European toilet!!! Worst place I stayed since I travel Asia 4 years!

Perfect stay if the roommates not problematic

Liked My 3rd time here as i like that the location is very strategic in Pasar Seni. Staff is really helpful and good. The bed is comfy enough for me and love the aircond temperature. The toilet also not bad and have good heater.

Disliked One of my roommates has been talking on the phone quite loud at night. I immediately talk to the property agent through booking.com chat, raising my issue there. The staff was nice enough to come and advice my problematic roommate.

Disappointing Stay – Poor Cleanliness & Unpleasant Atmosphere

Liked The only good thing about this hostel is its location. It’s just 20 steps from the central market, with a 7-Eleven right across the street, and in the heart of the city—super convenient for getting around.

Disliked From the moment I stepped into the lift, I had a bad feeling about this place. Unfortunately, my instincts were right. When I entered the dormitory, it felt more like a refugee camp than a hostel. There was an overwhelming mix of strong, unpleasant odors that made it hard to stay in the room comfortably. The biggest issue was the toilets. The smell was unbearable, and I even noticed dried yellow stains in the corners, making me wonder how long it had been since they were last cleaned. Every toilet I checked was the same—dirty and unmaintained. To make matters worse, the bathrooms were combined with the toilets, so you had to shower in the same cramped, unsanitary space. It felt like a 2-in-1 situation no one asked for. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this hostel unless management seriously improves the cleanliness and hygiene.
