I really wanted to love this place because the staff were friendly and the building was a historical masterpiece. On my travels, I've slept with bed bugs and these things just can't be helped. But, in Malaysia, you really need to go online and follow reviews before deciding to sleep at a hostel / hotel / guesthouse because the bed... More

Architecturally authentic building with a lot of atmosphere, the Grocers Inn is a great place for backpackers. I got my own room for 35ringit, so its very cheap, the beds are quite comfortable with a choice of fan or aircon, the fan was enough for me. The staff during the day are very friendly and helpful, the guy on nights... More

As titled, it's so good that I came back for a second time. 8-bed dorm is surprisingly good. Tidy and neat. The bathroom is just down the hallway and always available with hot shower. Has a nice view of China Town from a big balcony where you can enjoy some books or a drink in the hot weather of KUL.... More

I've stayed here a few times now & find it to be a good value basic hostel to stay a few days. The rooms are spartan & there is rarely any hot water, but it's central location in Chinatown makes up for any negatives I mentioned.

I stayed single room without bathroom for 35 RM.The room were OK.Bathroom and shower were good enough.And I could use free Wifi in the room and public balcony which I could look down the street of China town,it was interesting. And I asked friends who stayed in dorm,they said no bed bag in the room. I loved the roof top... More

We've been travelling SE Asia for 7 months on a tight budget and have stayed in some compromised places. This one has been by far the worst. Once checked in we discovered that our toilet was leaking from the waste pipe when flushed - leaving a trail of sewage down the bathroom floor. We asked them to look into it... More

We stayed here 3 times on our travels and each time had no complaints. Bathrooms are shared but are very clean and enough on each floor. Good roof terrace for relaxing & watching tv or reading with views over the city. Rooms are small but good value for central location.

We were a bit suspicious when the man at the front desk "mistakenly" shorted us 10 ringgits when we first paid for our room, and a bit more suspicious when he later charged us 5 extra ringgits because he "didn't realize we BOTH intended on staying there", but we thought the room looked clean enough so we decided to stay...

This is the first review I've ever written about a hotel (or anything for that matter); that in and of itself should be an indicator of how bad the experience was. We booked there because the location is pretty good (near Petaling St.), it sounded like a cool place (being a 100+-year old building and all) and it's pretty cheap.... More
