We're a boutique backpacker's hostel located in the heart of KL's historic district. We've lovingly converted a row of colonial-era shophouses into contemporary spaces with an emphasis on natural materials and light.
Since opening in July 2009, Backhome has been ranked by Hostelworld as No.1 in Malaysia, as well as one of the Top 3 Hostels in Asia, and Top 10 Hostels Worldwide.
What makes us so popular?
SPACE. We don't believe in cramping your style. Each guest gets large beds designed with privacy in mind. All beds come with individual reading lamps and powerpoints. Our common areas are bright and airy, so it's easier for you to interact with your fellow guests.
CUSTOMER SERVICE. Our team is passionate about all things Malaysian, and will do their utmost to share their insider knowledge about local food, customs, and hideouts.
SECURITY. We have 24-hour security cameras around the premises, individual lockers and a night-watchman to ensure your safety at all times.
CLEANLINESS
We have dedicated housekeepers and vacuum our mattresses regularly to ensure that our beds and rooms are exceptionally clean.
Facilities include:
Powerful hot showers; ample bathrooms and lavatory facilities on two floors.
Free high speed broadband, and WIFI. Or you may use our computers at RM1.00 for every 15minutes.
