I was a bit weary booking this place because the reviews seemed too good to be true but this was one of my favourite hostels in SE Asia and my favourite in Malaysia by far. I was so content and comfortable here that I extended my stay by another two nights. The free laundry, the steamer, and the changing room are all such wonderful touches for a girls dorm. CP is amazing and very accommodating, always wanting to help. All of this creates a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which is social but not disruptive. I met lovely people and made some amazing friends. I would definitely stay here again, it’s exactly the way a hostel/dorm should be done!!

This is the cutest hostel! They had such good communication via WhatsApp to ensure we there safely. The shared area is nice with a microwave, kettle, coffee and milo. They buy bread or treats to share on the dining table. They gave us earplugs and a toothbrush. The bathrooms are clean and tidy. They also left a little welcome note on the bed. Honestly, the perfect place to stay!
