torturing stay throughout the night”

if you are a light sleeper, there is no way you can have a good rest here. Wall is so thin until every single noise surrounding you can be heard. the bathroom is awful, water pressure is too low, no toiletries given here, all is own preparation. No TV in the room, breakfast is just bread and Jam. Luckily there is aircond in room. The only good thing is, it is close to Larkin terminal.

A quiet haven with the sweetest staff”

I originally meant to stay here two nights and ended up staying for a week! This hostel is an amazing value for your money. Free breakfast every morning is included, and the wifi never failed me like it has at other hostels in the past. There’s not much to do in the area unless you Grab out of the way, but there are a handful of restaurants nearby as well as a convenience store, and Larkin Sentral bus terminal is a short walk away. The staff are so sweet and friendly and on Chinese New Year they provided the guests with a delicious feast! I really had the opportunity to rest and recharge so I could continue on to my next destination. If I am ever in JB again you can bet I’ll come here. Thank you so much for such a great stay!
