“The staff were fantastic, pointing us to great restaurants and sights, even driving us around to try different dishes in KL. Showers had strong water pressure, dorm beds were comfortable, and the included breakfast was filling. Rooms were clean and well-maintained. The restaurant below was popular and gave a 20% discount to guests. Location was perfect, a 5-minute walk to the airport shuttle and right in Chinatown, close to the metro. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace.”
