The room is okay
The room is okay for the person who travels alone but it has no double lock and that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Luckily, the hotel guests in the other rooms were also nice as well as the staffs, so everything is just fine.

Racist receptionist ruined pur stay.
The man in reception ruined our stay there. He was rude with us when we asked him to sort out the cold shower situation. The se happened when we told him that wifi was not working on the rooms. On my last day, i checked out but i stayed in the hostel to use the bar, at some point, when i tried to use the pc of the hostel, he got ungry and started telling me that my mother shoube ashamed of me

Prison in KL
I left as my room looked more like a prison..and was so tiny it did not have room for my suitcase. It only had a fan.. Not a good idea in KL..but the staff was friendly and understanding.

Great location, friendly staff, comfortable beds!
I love going to the Travel Hub, as it's a relaxing guesthouse, with several social areas, and the staff are fantastic and very engaging. I have frequented there over the years, primarily because of this. It is a short walk from Pasar Seni sky train station, which is only one stop from KL Sentral - the main junction station, and in the heart of Chinatown. There is a bit of poverty in the area, which may be a shock to those unused to seeing it, but it is otherwise a safe neighbourhood. Talk with the staff if worried and they will gladly help you out.

Good place, good location.
The Travel Hub was a very nice backpacker hotel. The room we had was fine for a family of five; 1 bunk bed and 1 queen bed with plenty of extra room to walk around in. The only issue we had with the room was the A/C... it leaked and we needed to keep the trash can under it to catch the water. It is clear that this has been an ongoing issue as the floor right there is soft under foot. The common kitchen and lounge were great. The showers and bathroom were fine. I really wish we knew about the roof top bar earlier!!!! What a great place to hang!!

Great location, fantastic staff!
I came on the suggestion of a friend, and am happy i did. The price is very reasonable for the heart of the city, and the beds are quite comfortable. It's a mix of dorms and private rooms (I opted for a private) and has a few good social areas for meeting people. The staff are second to none, and always friendly and willing to help you out. I would stay here again (in fact, I already have) any time I'm coming through KL!
