Nothing special about this place - just your regular hostel, but with a good vibe and friendly staff. The location is a great plus and the area interesting enough with the huge mall across the street and wonderful little eating places around.

Good hostel, friendly staff and nice cosy rooms. The location is the main winner for the hostel, its very close to the transport and where the bus from singapore dropped me off. It's also next to a huge mall (which has a roller coaster inside!), so anything you do need is super close. Good place for solo travelling

As a 20-year-old, my stay in Kuala Lumpur was the first time that I had ever been to Southeast Asia. I found Hady (the lady at the front desk) to be extremely welcoming and friendly. I even had a really meaningful conversation with her one morning during my stay for about an hour. She was very helpful with travel tips... More

I stayed at Equator Hostel for a night when I was in KL. I had also booked the hostel for a week earlier but then found out a friend of mine would be in town and I could stay with her at her parents' house. So I canceled my reservation over a week before I would be staying, as they... More
