Travelers' Choice
Located just opposite KL Sentral the hub for transportation in and out of Kuala Lumpur PODs The Backpackers Home offers affordable accommodation without compromising on atmosphere and cleanliness. Rest. Assured. Our common room is equipped with internet access, wifi, door security tags, a library as well as a wide selection of local traditional games. PODs offer trips and links to the roads less travelled, a choice to stay at a Perma- culture farm or an orang asli hut. For the more adventurous, Friends Of PODs have many exciting trips and hikes into the Malaysian rain forest and quietly hidden crystal clear waterfalls. You may join our free R2B2 wheelie rides and experience Malaysia through the eyes of the locals. As the people from PODs are mostly from the art scene, do not be surprised if we break out into song and dance every first Friday of the month.

Very nice and clean place to stay. Stayed for 3 nights in a single room. It was very quite and you always get fresh through the windows. PODs backpackers has a beautiful terasse rooftop so if you are an early riser you can have the whole place for yourself to do yoga or walking meditation. The staff is very friendly and always enthusiastic about helping you out in case you need something. Definetly a great place to stay.

I didn’t book via an app and just went directly the the property at 12:30am after a day of traveling. As I walked into the lobby I instantly felt very welcomed by the owner and his friendly staff. I firstly booked just 1 night. But the next morning, I felt impressed by the friendly and easy going atmosphere and the cleanliness of my room and bathroom facilities so I booked another night before going off exploring the city for the day. For me, this hostel is very well located. Just a couple minutes walk from the train and bus station from which you can go anywhere. Quieter area so you can get a good sleep. Cheap and tasty food nearby. Good aircon, soap provided in the showers, hot or cold water to shower, free toast and jam for breakfast... Just book it!

The only greatest thing about this hostel is the location. It's only 5 minutes walk from the KL Sentral and very close to all those cheap yet yummy Indian restaurants in the brieckfield (Little India) area. Towel & breakfast included. Free WIFI. The lobby/lounge is cozy enough. The room & bunkbeds are so so. I checked-in in the afternoon. And, when I walked on the corridor before entering the room, the corridor smelled really bad. One night stay is enough unless you have things to do around brickfields area for days.

I stayed here for over a week. The location is perfect - just across the street from KL Sentral! Petaling Street - the famous street market - is only one monorail station away and right outside the door there are plenty of local food options. The lobby area is the perfect place to hang out with fellow travelers, or to simply just chill. What really makes this place is the staff! The owner, Wah, is such a nice guy (and a devoted Roxette fan!).Thank you Wah for our interesting conversations! I highly recommend this place and I will for sure stay here again!
