A great hostel. I had a solo room, everything was super clean including the bathroom at all times. Great Wi-Fi and coworking area downstairs, staff was so nice and helpful, plus very close to Sentral station and lots of great food nearby.

Walking distance to KL Sentral and surrounding by many (Indian) restaurants, so no problem when you suddenly feel hungry late at night. Room a little too dark as it is windowless and lighting is not intense enough. Just really good for an overnight stay. Check-in, check -out no fuss.

ホテルも清潔で冷房も寒いくらい稼働していて良かったが、掛け布団が薄くてむしろ寒いくらいだった。16人くらいの広い部屋に泊まったが、2段ベットはプライベートな空間は皆無だが、他の客たちは掛け布団や衣類で仕切りをしてプライベートな空間を確保していた。隣のおっさんのイビキがうるさくて寝れなかったが、値段を考慮すればそれほど不満はない。klセントラル駅までもすぐに行けて交通の弁も良かった。

滞在する場合のシーツやタオルについての説明を聞き忘れた？ どう変えるのか？部屋にあるタオルはどうするのか？もう少し説明が欲しかった。 滞在するには、駅も近く、24hrコンビニは出口横どなりにあるので、冷蔵庫要らず。便利さはとても素敵でした。

立地のみ。
セントラル駅に近いので早朝、深夜のフライトに便利です。ショッピングモールを抜けて駅に行くと５分くらいですが、ショッピングモール閉店時間は遠回りする為余裕を持って出発してください。ホステルはきれいではありません。駅近で安いので割り切れる方向けです。

Stay away from this place. I had a reservation for a single room (mini Pod), but it was 2x2 m and the fan sound was terrible. So I choosed to get a dorm bed because ironically the dorm rooma are more spacious. So I will never ever stay again in this hotel. For a few bucks more you can get more comfortable room in other hotels nearby.

klセントラルからインド人街を通ってすぐのところにあり、アクセス抜群 部屋は清潔だが通り沿いなので車の音が響く 貴重品ロッカーがありドミトリー部屋は狭いのでそこに荷物を保管していた。 受付はは24時間あいているので、早朝、深夜でも安心

The perfect accommodation if you're staying the night before travelling elsewhere in the morning. Service and facilities are perfect although the walls are very thin so if you're staying the night with loud and rowdy people in the next room it can get annoying.

KLセントラル駅すぐのホテル
8時頃にホテルに到着したのですが、ベッドが空いていた為すぐにチェックインさせてくれました。4人ドミトリーに予約したつもりだったのですが16人ドミトリーに割り当てられ、でも16人の方が部屋も大きいし大人数だった為か全く気を遣う事なく気楽に過ごす事が出来ました。個人専用のロッカーもあり薄手のブランケット・バスタオルはありました(カードキー・ロッカーキーのデポジット20ドル)。エアコンが効きすぎてて寒くて眠れませんでした。ホテル周辺は朝から晩(夜中)までずっと賑やかでコンビニもすぐ横にありました。
