"No window, dirty toilet. Not a central location"

6.0

The hostel does exist

It said hostel with a view, however there is hardly any window. Every toilet has a brush standing on the floor, which is regularly washed entirely with a hose, so you can guess what you are stepping into... not to mention the no shoes policy.

Lit confortable. Dortoir sans fenêtre. Clim, rideaux, lumière individuelle et grand casier. C’est tres propre. Personnel sympathique. Bon wifi.facile pour arriver depuis l’aéroport. Bien placé car on peut aller facilement en ville à pied ou à la plage. Centre commercial juste à côté. Restaurant..

Il faisait très chaud dans les communs.. certaines filles malaysiennes écoutaient leur tph sans écouteurs. À 5h du matin y en a une qui était en train de téléphoner dans la chambre.. j’avais jamais vu ça !!

"Recommended for solo travellers on a budget. Especially if you dont come with own car so you can save on parking fees"

8.0

They dont have QR or online transaction for payment and the nearest ATM is in the Imago Mall (quite a walk especially if in hurry) I didnt bring enough cash and got lost in the mall trying to find ATM while rushing with time, luckily i messaged the reception staff and she eventually offered her personal QR so it’s settled. But tbh it was quite a waste of time and energy-draining trying to find the ATM especially because I was not familiar with the layout of the Imago Mall so yes, make sure to bring enough cash (They dont take deposit also)

Rm42 per night (weekend) + Rm15 for parking from evening 6pm to 7am (parking fees depends on the hours you park) = TOTAL Rm57 For me i think it is just a bit cheaper than a 2 or 3-star hotel. Otherwise, all of the facilities & amenities are good enough for a short night stay. The space is clean, have personal locker, black-out curtain & plug for charging, sheet is thick & comfortable, room is air-conditioned and the toilet have hot shower. Towel & soap was also provided. Have pantry with water dispenser, not forgotten ironing board. The only thing that you’d have to compromise is privacy in terms where you’d have to be extra careful with making sounds so not to disturb your roommates (which is no worries if in personal hotel room).
