If you need rest and you’re a light sleeper, you might want to bring ear plugs in case the other guests are mingling and chatting in the common area.

The first thing that struck me upon arrival was Sam’s gentle demeanor. He’s such a soft-spoken person, and yet he warmly greets you by name each time he sees you, even at 1am when you bump into him quietly watering the plants. 😆 I think one thing that concerns most people in a hostel setting is the shared use of the toilets and showers. Like, would it be inconvenient to have to wait for your turn? Would it be messy to use? Well, if you’re a typical worrier like me, please allay your fears! The toilets and showers were always immediately available when I needed to use them, and they were always clean! So don’t let communal toilets and showers hold you back from making your booking. Ola Hostel feels simple and straightforward, but not to the extent of being spartan or utilitarian. The set up in my room was basic, but it felt cozy because of the lighting and the plush fleecy blanket provided.

Not masses of space for bags in the rooms (under beds and small locker for valuables which could be frustrating. Not the most social, but it depends on who is staying as I met some lovely people to spend the days with!

The hostel is in amongst the main tourist area, and from the minute I arrived the host was very friendly, knew me by name and was very accommodating during my stay. The AC is nice and cold in the rooms, and the bathrooms and common area kept nice and clean. Clean towels daily, drinking water, shampoo and shower gel provided, has a small fridge for drinks in the common area and small cafe attached!

I wholeheartedly recommend this hostel to everyone. It is situated in a peaceful and charming area of Central, with helpful staff. When I booked a mixed dormitory with four guys and was the only girl, they upgraded me to a four-bed room dormitory with all girls, which was extremely thoughtful. Additionally, they offer bike rentals for 10 MYR from check-in to check-out, which I loved.

If you are sensitive to noise and wish to go to bed early the double room we stayed in backed onto the road, where trishaws and their music went past periodically. This wasn't a problem for us, and we found it part of the charm of being in the old town.

Nice relaxed atmosphere. Aircon and fan were very good. Towels, drinking water and toiletries were a nice touch. We got our washing done, this was quick (same day) reasonably priced and even delivered to the room. Very good hostel in a central location

The Hostel is very quiet, not the best place to meet other travelers.

The hostel was designed with good taste and quality, the matress and pillows are very good. The location is excellent!
