Spaceship Capsule at Penguin Homes - Hostel

They overcharged me and said they’d refund the full amount. It’s been 90 days and still no money back, just empty promises. They’re ignoring my messages. Almost $20 gone. Avoid this place.

We left in the end because we didn’t want to spend more on our energy bills. The place was uncomfortable and messy, and way overpriced. What should have cost $25, already highway robbery for somewhere like this, they tried to charge us $40 plus another 4%. The manager has no idea how to run the place. The person who came to greet us left us waiting for 30 minutes. Then the access cards didn’t work, and they tried to give two of us just one card. One person had to enter, go somewhere else to swipe it as if they’d left, then hand it over so the second person could get in. Terrible service and a horrible place. Not recommended.

I picked this hostel for a quick night’s sleep because it was near the Twin Towers and the price was low. I booked on Agoda the same day, and on my date it was 399₽, though a little more the next day. It’s an easy walk from the towers and easy to find with maps.me. The confusing part was reaching the skyscraper marked “mercu Summer suites.” Go to the lobby and show your reservation so they can put you in the logbook. A young man, probably the hostel owner, came out, gave me the key, and explained things. He took a 50 ringgit deposit and 10 for service or tax, I don’t remember which. The key card gets you to the 12th floor. Behind the door is the hostel, with a kitchen and living room, toilet and shower, and the capsules. It had a nice, friendly atmosphere and all the utensils you need. Bring your own towel, though, and toilet paper too, as neither was provided. WiFi was fast, but the light in my capsule didn’t work and I couldn’t charge my phone. My capsule was on the top floor, so I felt a bit like an astronaut, unusual 😅🙏🏾 There’s a large balcony, and guests can use the complex’s pool, but I didn’t go. Shops and cafes on the ground floor make it easy to buy something to eat. The shop on the left as you face the hotel exit takes cards. For the price, I liked it all. If you’re not picky and only need somewhere to sleep, it’s perfectly fine. I was too tired to take photos, so I’m not attaching one.

The location is really strategic, close to restaurants, malls, and the Petronas Twin Towers. It’s comfortable, clean, and quiet, and the view is really nice too.
