TheKatil Kelana jaya

I booked this place when I was desperate for somewhere to stay. The room itself was nice, and the basics were well kept: washer, dryer, bathroom, water filter. There’s no bidet, though. The walls are thin and it gets extremely cold. I’m asthmatic, so I complained about the icy air, but the owner just told me to close the AC hole. I guess I’ll just suffer. The Wi-Fi was barely 10 Mbps, even though it was advertised at 800 Mbps, and I needed a good connection. The owner didn’t do anything to fix it and said my devices were the problem. My friend and I tried four laptops between us.

The place is quiet, the room was very clean and the Wi-Fi was fast. It’s right in front of the train station, so it’s really convenient for frequent trips to KL city centre. I’ll come back next time I’m in KL!

It feels like a home set up as a hostel, with a great environment and everything in one package. The air conditioning runs 24/7, which you really need in an urban setting. Management and staff respond when problems are reported and look into them quickly. It’d be hard to find this kind of deal elsewhere.

I stayed here during my internship and really enjoyed it. The rooms are spacious, the place is clean and it’s quite convenient, close to Kelana Jaya LRT. Management was cooperative and great to deal with. A good budget option.
