- “ Know what you go to before you go there, the rooms are in one open floor, that means that single and double rooms are on the same floor astje doorms, and the dorms have no doors and single and double rooms have no roof, it,s walls open, like a shoe box, and the walls are wery wery thin,..,,,,,,,,,, ”

- “ The place is located next to the Central Station from where it's very convenient to take a train or a bus (which runs all night long) to the airport. The staff was very sweat and helpful . There were lockers to keep more valuable stuff :) ”

- “ I loved my stay at PODS, the guys at the front Desk were super helpful in assisting and showing me how to get around and the best sites to see. It is also located in a really good spot. The KL sentral station is just a few minutes 5mins walk away. The neighbourhood is safe, there are always people hanging around even in the early hours of the morning. I had to take the shuttle to the airport for my flight at 6.am so i left the hostel at 2.30am and the area was still busy and alive. ”

- “ The hostel is located near KL sentral. The room and toilets are clean. They also provided me with new sheets, pillow and towel. However, I don't recommend it to people who snore since the rooms are not fully enclosed (as they stated in their information) and it might cause some problems with the people in the other rooms. I would like to suggest to set-up a mirror in their comfort room and provide better slippers (I had a hard time walking in those). Overall, i had a great experience at pods :) ”

- “ It was okay, pretty near to KL sentral , but actually I need to walk for a while from KL sentral to this hostel (the road was under construction) but Monirail is really near. The hostel was quiet, I was in a dorm and there were not that many people when I was staying there. there are several rooms but there are only 2 toilets and 2 showers - It was clean. but I think this hostel should offers some maps(can get from Information center in KL sentral) or infromation for travelers. ”

- “ 15 minute walk from KL train station. Located in Little India; filthy area. Rough walk due to sidewalk conditions, slope, & local driving. Cell phones, chargers, & adapters stolen in mixed-dorm while napping with them (creepy). Showers are makeshift; galvanized steel used to enclose – there is a small gap between door & wall where it's possible to peek in. Staff are somewhat nice. One staff member was rude. Security is not the best -- you are able to bypass reception when you enter and exit. ”

- “ Located in Kuala Lumpur Sentral, the pods backpackers home is excellent with its nice and friendly staff. They are very helpful about the travel plan in this city. Sure you can easily go to any places in the city since the KL Sentral is the traffic pivot. Dorms are clean but may lack of privacy and can easily be bothered by other guest if they snooze at night. The atmosphere there is cool and I like the green decoration of the hostel. One tip for backpackers, be sure to take a electricity adapto ”
