The room is clean and the location is excellent. But the most amazing thing of this hostel is its people. Firendly, helpful and passionate about their jobs. Even the cook prepare the breakfast with her heart. The owner, Cole is the gem of the hostel. Talk to him if you want to understand more about Malaysia - be it culture,... More

It is litterally just too sleep. The walls are also very... More

Really enjoyed the 5 day stay here in July 2012. The staff especially, Ko and Teddy are extremely friendly and helpful. They guide the newcomers very nicely on how to reach places. Free wifi provided is very nice, though not the fastest. All the rooms, bathrooms and toilets are well maintained and clean. Though one of the two A/C's in... More

The hostel was close to the train station and the touristy areas such as Chinatown, Little India and Merdeka Square. The staff gave me a lot of information but I found quite some was incorrect. They told me some places in my guidebook didn’t exist and recommended me somewhere else. In the end I found the place that I was... More

We had a hard time finding a decent place to stay in KL, and then we came across Serai Inn on the agoda website. What a great budget hotel! We stayed here twice. The first room we had on the main floor was great. The bed was super comfortable, it was quiet and dark and night time. The 2nd room... More

We arrived late afternoon and were leaving early the next morning. It was ideal for the cheap bus from the LCCT, and perfect for the bus station and lots of veggie restaurants nearby which was all we were looking for. On arrival they were really helpful about telling us where to go and how to get there. Although, they did... More
