The only pro we found about this place was the price and location, right next to LRT, Central Market, and Chinatown. Everything else was really disappointing. Grimy bathroom with only one sink for the whole floor and showers that empty their dirty water into the next shower. When we arrived reception was unattended and no one appeared for nearly an...

I wanted to write and thank you and your great staff for a wonderful stay last week at the fernloft Hostel. It's been 18 years since I spent time in a hostel and my recent stay brought back wonderful memories of a special fun time of my life. I was also suprised to see so many guests in my age... More

Pros: Location. Kind of. It's pretty close to the LRT station, and a bunch of Chinatown-related things. Don't bother asking the staff for directions to the station though, as they won't help. At all. And Chinatown is disappointing for anyone who doesn't want to buy knockoff handbags or shoddy footwear. Cons: Everything else. When we arrived in KL (a difficult... More

Fernloft is in a great location in Chinatown with Petaling markets around the corner. We stayed at Fernloft for three nights including New Year's Eve. The staff are very friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed and appreciated celebrating with the staff and guests with the lovely spread on NYE! We met lots of great people from around the world...

The hostel is well located; close to 2 metro stations, the main bus station to catch buses on to Cameron Highlands and there are several places to eat and drink nearby. Our room was a private twin and it consisted of 1 set of bunk beds. Unfortunately the beds were squeaky and there was a party on the roof directly... More

It was so refreshing to walk through the doors of Fernloft after walking around the streets of KL. The a/c was always pumping and if anything, I was actually cold!! We stayed in the only available room for our first three nights- a twin private ( bunk beds). But when a double came available Jeff offered us the room without... More

Travveling on a shoestring, looking for cheap hostels but worry about cleanliness. Check out Fernloft at Chinatown Kuala Lumpur. Fully air-conditioned, high security, clean, good location and friendly host. This is the hostel to be in. Bear in mind that this is a hostel and not a Hilton or Hyatt. Just a place to shower and have a good night... More
