Excerpt from Hostelz.com independent review (visited by reviewer in April 2007) :-
'The location is very good, and though not near Chinatown, it's very easy to get anywhere as the Chow Kit monorail stop is around the corner.

This hostel is still too new to have a specific atmosphere but the owner is so easygoing that it's sure to be one of the better ones in Kuala Lumpur'.
