- Avg. price/night: US$22.57Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.4Superb - What previous guests thought, 495 reviewsThe full team is wonderful and they help you with everything they can. The hostel is pretty, clean and very well organized. The common areas are very cozy. This has been for me the best hostel in all Malaysia 🙂🙃🙂Guest review bySonne_HDSolo traveller
- Avg. price/night: US$24.94Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very good - What previous guests thought, 353 reviewsModern furnishing and each pod feels very private which is nice. The area immediately outside the hostel doesn’t feel like the most inviting but is perfectly safe, and probably quite insightful. Very central (although not sure that really makes a difference- not huge amounts to do in the city)Guest review byChristopherSolo traveller
