The 5 Best Hostels in Kuala Lumpur (Updated 2025)

"I stayed in the Chinatown Hostel in the heart of Chinatown and found it a fun, social backpacker spot that makes it easy to meet and mingle; Chinatown has tons of cheap and delicious places to eat, so it's a great base for foodies. The hostel has a shared kitchen and café, staff-organized activities to help you see the city and connect with people, and the dorm beds have privacy curtains, comfy mattresses, plus lights and outlets to charge your stuff. It's one of the most popular hostels in town and is recommended as the best hostel for solo female travelers, with female-only dorms." - Matthew Kepnes

A hipster’s guide to Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Penang - SilverKris

"Housed in a painstakingly restored early-1900s building on Jalan Sultan that once served as a mess hall, bank and Chinese literary club, this hostel occupies a structure reminiscent of a church and preserves many of its original features. It offers two floors of private and dorm rooms plus a relaxed book lounge, making it a characterful base for exploring the city." - SilverKris

Chinatown Hostel by Mingle - Rooftop Private Jacuzzi with Bar

I was genuinely impressed by this place. What sold me was the design; it's got this cool, authentic rustic feel that really sets it apart from typical hostels. But forget that—the rooftop setup is what I constantly looked forward to. Seriously, soaking in the jacuzzi up there after a long day of walking was pure bliss, and it's where everyone naturally hung out. Its location in Chinatown is unbeatable for exploring. Additionally, the Hostel organizes events nearly every day with the other branches owned by Mingle (IIRC there are 4) and it's great way to meet other people from all walks of life. Shoutout to Dave for providing useful information about shopping for a specific thing. And big up to Lopi who helped me plan and organize a spontaneous karaoke night with other fellow travelers. Overall, I highly recommend staying here for the vibe and convenience alone. Sidenote, I may have mentioned it before to the staff there, but just a reminder that the newly opened terrace area above the Deceased Bar is also great place to drink and hangout BUT the stairs could use handrails which will provide extra safety for those using it. Just some practical and useful feedback for the Mingle Management. <3

A really brilliant hostel! The staff are super friendly and helpful when answering any questions. They have 24 hour reception and are always keen to find a solution to any problem. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. Also have fantastic showers with plenty of hot water and good pressure! There are also multiple places to hang out and therefore the hostel is very social and encourages people to have a great time with others. My favourite hostel in KL!

This was my first hostel experience. Stayed 3 nights in a private room. The place gets cleaned daily plus, my room was clean comfortable and aircon always running. Daily events make it easy to meet people and mingle. Has bar, jacuzzi, kitchen, games room, balconies, laundry and more. If you don't like stairs it may be an issue but i 10/10 loved it.

Clean, well maintained and lots of atmosphere. Fantastic location right in the middle of everything. Markets and clubs nearby. They do bed bug treatment twice a week so can feel assured its safe. They have jacuzzi and a lovely bar on the rooftop.

This hostel is a fantastic find. I loved the rustic, interesting design that gives it great character. The absolute best part, though, is the jacuzzi and rooftop, which provided the perfect spot to relax and socialize every evening. Add to that the highly convenient Chinatown location, and you have a perfect base for any traveler looking for great atmosphere and easy access to everything. Highly recommended!

Shower stalls are bad with cheap white plastic walls. Dormitory beds are the worst. The fan/duct inside the bed blows strong air at all times. There is no way to turn it off. You can try to close it but will still feel the uncomfortable breeze and additional noise due air being trapped. Totally uncomfortable. And imagine paying 78 MYR for this dorm bed. Also no towels except rental.

We stayed for KLSCM. Located at China Town. No parking for hotel. Hotel located beside Mingle Cafe. If you stayed here, can get discount and breakfast set at RM15. Quite good deal. Our room comes with private bathroom. No door. Hahahah.....and basic amenities. Located near to jacuzzi area. Night time can hear those tourist hang out at jacuzzi area. Not too noise, but can hear a bit. Not distracting the sleep. Room and the hotel quite nice. Clean and staff are friendly. We have paid RM20 deposit via credit or debit card. The hotel full with backpackers and tourist. Affordable price.

It was a very cool stay here! This hostel ist very social and you can meet other guests easily in the roof top hang out places or the bar and Café. The dipping pool in the roof top ist very nice too for chillout days.
