During our stay at Wheeler's 3 of the 4 toilets were out of order and only 2 of the 4 showers were working. Although there is a daily cleaner, the efforts into keeping the bathrooms clean is perfunctory at best- in short, they were hideous- dirty and smelly. The room itself was clean, and very basic, but had an unpleasant... More

you will not find a cheaper guesthouse in KL. This is very simple the cheapest in town with rooms from 22rm - 35rm for fan room. I have stayed at wheelers guesthouse on each of my 20+ stays in Kuala Lumpur. Rooms are clean although theres a smell of some serious cleaningpowder being used to sterialize the rooms. Staff is...

This was the first hostel we stayed in whilst travelling around South East Asia, with hindsight we should have left immediately but we really didn't know what we could get for our money and lonely planet recommended it. It is a little tricky to find as you have to enter a stairwell that I can only describe as squalid and... More

This place is probably the cheapest around and if your very easygoing about hygiene then go for it. I went in to book a room the day before my arrival and the person at the front never put it in their book so I ended up having to take a dorm when I arrived. From what I could see through... More

Lonely planet rates this as a reasonable place to stay in KL, but god knows why... I stayed twice for my sins, the second time was out of necessity really, but both times it was dirty, crawling with bugs and not the most comfortable. Also, on my second visit they tried to charge for wifi which is, for asia anyways,... More

I stayed here in July 2012 on a world challenge expedition. The kids booked the hostel based on the Lonely Planet review & it was a real disappointment. For 'quirky' you should read dirty. The smoking in the stairwell & on the landing made it uncomfortable for other guests, the bed sheets were grey & ripped, the paint on the... More

Came across Wheeler's on a recommendation from fellow travelers after hearing it was the cheapest hostel they could find in the area. While it does come in at the lowest cost, the rooms are best referred to as "bomb shelters". While it's not terrible if you're only looking for a place to crash, when my boyfriend & I had some...

As two backpacking long term travelers on a very tight budget, sharing a double basic fan room at the rate of 33 Rinngit a night was the best option in Kuala Lumpur where it is not easy to find a cheap decent room. We searched high and low and this was the best price in the area - other options... More

The place was dirty, the rooms were awfully hot, and the owner had a really weird monkey as a pet. Also, they say there's free barbeque at the rooftop, but that's only on friday, and the other days you can't even go to the rooftop to chill. Run away from this guesthouse!
