Excellent location, 10min walk from Petronas/Suria and several metro stops, excellent wi-fi. Female dormitory was huge with lots of space. The bunk bed is actually a "two-floor" bed with lots of additional space where you can leave your luggage, sit and it is actually very spacious - check property pictures. Personal el socket, light and comfortable mattress. Stable and convenient rail for upper bed. Was a bit cold in the room initially (AC) but was reduced to milder temperature after 23:00h. Plenty of toilets and bathrooms - all very clean. Easy check-in, a 50MYR security deposit was requested, then returned at check-out. The property has a little army of cleaning ladies, all looked bright and shiny. For the price offered, the property is more than excellent.

I enjoyed my time at the Habibi Home KLCC thanks to Raki, hostel manager. He shared all his recommendations regarding places to eat and sightseeing. It was very helpful to plan my day and further trip properly. Thank you so much, Raki. Curtains divided my dorm room for 6 people from living room. Clean bed with towel and socket to charge phone/laptop has been provided. There was an air conditioner and fantastic view to the skyscrapers in my room. There was a shared kitchen (with complimentary tea, fridge, microwave, electric kettle) and bathroom. Free and good wi-fi internet worked very well everywhere in the hostel. There is a swimming pool on the 5th floor of the building. Hostel is located centrally. ATM, supermarkets, restaurants, Petronas Twin Towers, skyscrapers, good transportation system are around the hostel within 5-10 minutes of walking distance. Hostel living room was very sociable place to meet other foreigners. I can recommend Habibi Home KLCC for international travelers. How to get to the Habibi Home KLCC: Take Airport Express from Airport to KL Sentral station – from there take train to Bukit Nanas station – exit Bukit Nanas and you will see Renessaince hotel and Sheraton hotel in opposite side of the road– hostel in the Crest building is behind these two hotels.

All hostels in Kuala Lumpur

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.

The host is so friendly and helpful! The hostel is in a great location - so close to the shopping area and metro. It’s so clean and there’s plenty of space in your bunk! I did my laundry here too and it was so cheap and came back so quickly and so clean! Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean, well located. Easy to get coffee downstairs and basic groecries in 7/11. Easy area for taxi pick up , in area which feels safe at all times. Good beds, showers, all great. I was intimidated by description of 20 beds per room, but actually very quiet and clean and neat, so doesn’t feel overcrowded at all! One of the best hostels i stayed at
