This is an excellent hostel if you are staying in 6-bed dorm or single room. However, they seem to have let the larger dorm room go. I moved around from bed to bed and every single one was heavily infested with bed bugs. I was getting owned by them all over my body. When I upgraded to the 6 bed... More

The facilities at this hostel are super basic and I guess that's what you get for the price. The neighborhood is a bit dodgy at night. However, we were attacked by bed bugs and there were so many bites. It was so bad that the next day we had to rush to a pharmacy to get treatment. The staff was... More

Sharing a twin room with a friend, relatively inexpensive especially in Kuala Lumpur. Room was very basic twin, with en suite, no windows however, and the blankets provided weren't very big (in fact they were square, which seems to make no sense on a bed). When we first arrived the room smelt very damp, but perhaps it was just that... More

Don't stay in the dorm. Ask for a single room. The owners are wonderful people, very friendly. The single room is simple, almost clean, with toilet and shower inside. The price is honest. The position is very good, I really enjoyed the area and the metro station is really close. Free internet. Wi-fi didn't work in the room.

Hostel Cosmopolitan is a very nice place to stay in KL. The staff are very friendly. The room is quite nice, air conditioning, with bathroom and shower. Location is perfect, it's less than 3 mins walk to the Chow Kit Monorail Station, 2 stops to Bukit Nanas (KL Tower), 4 stops to Bukit Bintang (shopping haven of KL) and 9... More

I stayed here for a about 4 nights, after the 2nd night we asked for house keeping and when we returned, we found we had things missing from our suitcases! Everything inside had been rearranged as though they had been searched. We filed a police report down the street and they said there have been many reports of this hostel... More

I booked a room beforehand and got email confirmation. On the day of arrival I again sent an email telling I am coming. They said my room is waiting for me. When I arrived, they told that the room I booked is not available and told I have to take another room, that was lower in quality and price that... More

I stayed in both the 10 bed dorm and a private A/C room. The 10 bed dorm is large, and the two fans that rotate in the ceiling are not really adequate for the whole room - the beds furthest from them receive next to no benefit! Still, you are in Malaysia, it's hot. The room itself was pleasant enough,... More
