"I had a 13 hour layover in Kuala Lumpur on my way to Kathmandu, so I decided to go out the airport and see Petronas Twin Towers and have a decent place to sleep for the night as I arrived around 10 pm from Hongkong. I actually booked at The Bed in advance and I just paid around 800PHP via Agoda for one night! I took the female solo pod which consists of a shoe locker outside, a dental kit, towel, a locker beneath the bed and a bed with cover. That is already great because the accommodation is quite good, cozy, and good for solo traveller like me. LOCATION: It took me around 45 minutes to 1 hour to get to The Bed from the airport giving that the KLIA Expres travel time to KL Sentral is 28 to 30 minutes. From KL Sentral, get a (coin) ticket via RapidKL to Dang Wangi station (if you don't mind walking around 10 minutes to hotel),turn left,take the overpass,walk straight until you saw Bukit Nanas station. Cross the street. The nearest station from the hotel is Bukit Nanas station,which I took from the hotel to KL Sentral that cost me 3.70 MYR. I don't saw in the map that Bukit Nanas station will be passed by using Gombak line from KL Sentral because it is in the Titiwangsa line which you can also take,just walk from KL Sentral to Mid Valley station. The Bed is in the Vortex building, beside 7-11 so you will be able to see it clearly. RECEPTION: I checked in near midnight, and the receptionist is a Filipino and also some other Filipinos are checking in that time. The check in and check out was smooth and incredibly fast. INTERNET CONNECTION: Wi-Fi is reliable and good. I can still do some video calls while at the washroom and any part of the hotel. FOOD: The food was not that good, without variety. Breakfast was only a Malaysian rice (with peanuts,dried fish and half hard boiled egg) and breads. The drinks was water, coffee and tea. I hope they will add more in the future. Other than that, I can say that I can re"

"i have stayed in kuala lumpur many times and this place is the best hostel in the kl sentral and chinatown areas. Good wifi, free towel, free drinking water, free breakfast. If you want to find something similarly priced to this place, then it will not compare in value. Also, if you want good wifi in chinatown, you won't find it unless you pay for something more expensive than a hostel (such as a hotel). "

"Extremely new place with extraordinary price, location, facilities, and service. Would want to stay in this place again if visiting Kuala Lumpur next time. - Location: right inside the Chinatown, very close to the entrance. Plenty of shops right downstairs. - Facilities: new and clean. Got a big TV in the room. Got an elevator so no need to carry the luggage upstairs through the stairs. Got an electric locker at the front gate that makes the hostel secured. - Service: staffs are extremely nice and willing to accommodate your needs as much as possible. Willing to share local experiences if you are curious. Front desk opens all night."

"I’ll rate 11/10 if they allow me. First off, let’s start with the location. It is strategically located in the heart of chinatown, where food is abundant, just a stone throw away from petaling street and a short walk to the mrt/ lrt station. Plus you get to ride the free GoKL bus! Next, the facilities of the hostel. The hostel is equipped with A/C that turn on all day long that make your butt freeze like you’re in the Arctic but that’s okay because you’ll have that refreshing feeling when you return from a 36’c weather. When they say ‘breakfast is the most important meal of the day’, they weren’t kidding. Bread with various spread and healthy oats are provided-FREE! Staff of the hostel? Friendly, helpful, nice and make you feel welcome as you step into the main entrance! What more can I say? Not forgetting the hidden gem above the hostel. A quintessential drinking spot, Attic Bar to enjoy a night-view of Kuala Lumpur while sipping on the cocktail, served by the gorgeously-clad bartenders. I had only wanted to stay for a night or two but I extended my stay up to 3 weeks because this hostel just screams comfort (not a 4 star hotel sort) where travellers come together to connect and explore the beauty of Malaysia. Travelhub is not just a hostel, it is a place that brings people together. "
