    One of the best hostels I've stayed in

    The USB ports are not working, but the normal charging ports work well.

    The bed is super comfortable, you get a charging point at your bedside. I love how the lockers are located right outside the bathrooms, it's convenient to take a shower and then keep your clothes in the locker right away before going back to bed. There are 2 toilets and two showers shared with other girls. Towels can be rented at RM3. Location is good, the back door leads right to Market Lane which has lots of cafes, bars and good food options.

    Though I'd to check in past reception hours, Eliza went out of her way to make sure I arrived safe and sound. She gave great recommendations for food and visits too. Thanks for all you've done for me. :)

    It can be bit scary if less people , but i checked ahead for how many people booking is received . And the back entry through the valley is good but can be bit lonely when u coming back alone late into night like after 9 , but best part is that the small street outside the valley is well lit during night .

    Dorm was comfy and cool , facilities were good Staff gave an overview of things and things to do around by premade pdf Nice cafe , good breakfast Good location

    Maybe just the wifi. Sometimes it would stop working but other than that, nothing much.

    The location is very convenient considering it is positioned in Old Town. The cafe is perfect to get food from before heading out for whatever adventures you plan for the day. The staff/host are very welcoming, friendly and helpful and the food is always delicious.

    The electric plug was a bit faulty at my bed and there was dust around the wood...Is good if there was a housekeeping on the area of wood and wall. Overall still good 💯

    Staff was friendly, there were 2 pillow provided to guest which one was soft and another is hard.

    If I really want to nitpick, I wish they provide a space for travellers to order food delivery and eat it there. Sometimes we just don’t feel like dining out at night and there’s no other way than having to wait until the next day to get food in the cafe/ restaurant. The bathroom doors squeak quite loudly. Could be fixed with a little oil. Other than that, everything else exceeds of my expectations

    Great host! They must have put their hearts into preserving the beauty of this building’s architecture. Building was old but well maintained. Love the backdoor ambience. Secret path towards a little cafe. Street was bright and clean even during the night. Bathrooms and the bed are very clean. Lockers are great. Love the toothpaste and cotton pads provided.

    The cafe is the only common space for the two dorms. Wifi could have a better sign in the dorms.

    Well located in the Old Town, with comfy beds, a silent female dorm and clean bathrooms. They have a cafe on the ground floor so you are also covered with food in case you need it.

    There’s not really any communal space other than the café so it was hard to hang out and meet people. There also not that flexible with the check in time so if you arrive before 3pm you’ll have to wait but that didn’t bother us too much as the food/drinks in the café were amazing so we just relaxed.

    It was a beautiful building, they have really tried to keep it as it was which is nice. The beds were sooo comfortable and we really liked the way it felt like you were in a tent. The room was a great size so had lots of space and the free toiletries were a bonus!

    This place was a total oasis of calm. It is NOT for someone looking for a party hostel. But everything in this hostel - from the beds, to the decor, to the thoughtful staff - is clearly done with care to make the best experience possible. Newton, William, and the other staff were always so kind and helpful. The bed is incredibly comfortable with lots of space in the women’s dorm.
