Staffs are friendly. Rooms under renovation so dun expect too much. The whole guesthouse was only with 1 toilet that day, The main problem is the beg bugs! My whole body is with swollen red spots and they are darn itchy,,,

The hostel is really nice, the location is great, in Bukit Bintang, just 2 blocks form there you have lots of good bars, restaurants, good nightlife.. and also 5 blocks from there you have the monorail that will take you everywhere. The staff is nice, one guy knew a lot of the city, another lady almost didn't know almost how... More

This is my second time to stay at Number Eight and if I can afford it in the future it will not be the last time. My first visit was in January 2011 when we occupied 3 rooms and this time I stayed for 3 nights in February with 6 students. We occupied 4 rooms which were all clean and... More

Over the years I have visited this place 3 times and liked it. In december 2011 I wanted to stay there again for a couple of nights, but I quit after 1 night. The whole building is smelly ; I guess something is wrong with the plumbing of the toilets. In the bowl of the toilet in my room was... More

14 bites!! Saw a couple of dead bed bugs into sheets. Was very disappointed as it has an excellent website and looks good from the outside. Just needs a deep clean, some new mattresses and some TLC.

We got the Tropical Guesthouse (which is just next door) highly recommended. However we found No 8 online and where blinded by its stylish website and professional pictures. We checked in and once in the room my critical eye saw dust, stains and a dirty sink. Usually I stay quiet but I asked the manager if the room really got... More

I was due to stay at number 8 guesthouse for 2 nights in October. My room was a huge double, with shared bathroom. A good price for the facilities. The room itself was basic but looked clean. The 3 shower rooms had the hottest, most powerful showers I've seen on this trip which were very welcome. Only one shared toilet... More

Not too clean clean with friendly personnel. We stayed in one of the two quiet (but smelly) twin-rooms in the back. No private bathroom, something you would not expect with these room rates. A downside is the huge tv that's almost continuously playing, transforming the communal are into a cinema, only to entertain the lounging staff. Free filtered water, coffee... More
