- "The location is good. Near the pasar seni station." - "A good spot when in town before traveling to the interior. It was a short walk to the bus station to Taman Negara." - "This was an OK stay, as it was a good location and did the job for me to sleep and store my things, but I will not be back again. The first room I was assigned to smelled very musty and my bed wasn’t cleaned with new sheets, so I had to go to the reception to get a new room assignment. They don’t give you a top sheet for the bed, but the fitted sheet to cover the mattress had stuff on it — a small rubber piece, fuzz and hairs. They give just a thin blanket which I questioned its cleanliness since there were also hairs on it. The bathroom stalls were tiny so hard to move around in, and there was no hand soap at the sink to wash your hands. The soap pump in the shower was broken so it was difficult to get soap out but I eventually got it after many attempts. The lockers in the hostel room were broken so I had to leave my things in the lockers outside of the room. There are no elevators so if you’re on the top floor like I was, it made it difficult to carry your bags up and down — especially since the receptionist doesn’t show you your room and help you bring your bags up like many other hostels do. However, the location was good with the Central Market and Chinatown right in the area, and close walking distance to Merdeka Square."

Its clean and quiet. Just one drawback, where you don't have a proper parking, since its facing the main road. Most of the famous street foods are just around the corner. "

- "Staying at The Bed, KLCC Hostel was a terrific choice for my stay in Kuala Lampur. The highlight was the location, as it was in the center of where you can easily access several of the sites you would want to see as a tourist. Surrounding the hostel were several name brand hotels that cost quite more when compared to staying at this hostel due to the prime location. I was in the single bed room, and it was perfect for me as I mainly needed it to sleep after a day out exploring the city. When I wanted to rest or do some work, the lounge area was just what was needed. Also, right next door there is a gym that you can access on the 6th floor for 20,000 MYR, which is quite reasonable and convenient if you need to get a workout in during your stay. I highly recommend staying here if you plan on exploring the city."

- "Had own air conditioned room with bathroom. Great location" - "My double room was very comfortable, and the fan, together with the aircon, made the space really airy and I slept very well. It could get slightly noisy at times as the room faces the main street, but it was mostly peaceful. Having to share the bathroom did not bother me much as it's right across the hallway anyway. It is right around the corner from Little India and it was so easy to get to all major attractions. Extremely good value for the price. "

- "Pharmacy within premises. Drinking water machines. " - "Property is ok. Near to the hospital. Environment is clean." - "It was pretty good overall. Daily cleaning, sheets, towels were very clean and tidy. Wi-fi is just ok, i can say it was stable but definitely slow, even for video chat. Cafeteria ladies were super nice and helpful, there wasn't many breakfast choice but i think they're good. My room looked bit old and smell damply but cleanliness and tidiness saved it. Location wise, i wouldn't say it is in the centre of georgetown, walking to old town would take half an hour at least or can take a bus. Nice area though, modern side of the town, also close to china town, lots of nice restaurants about 10 minutes of walking distance."
