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

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.

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!

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.

We enjoyed attending the BBQ here as we got to chat to some kind other travellers and we enjoyed the social vibe. Our first private room was cheaper than the second one we had to move to but so much quieter. It’s a shame because the first two nights we slept really well and then the last two when we had to transfer rooms we paid quite a bit more money but got less sleep. Even with earplugs I think we’d have struggled. A nice hostel in a good location but the second room we stayed in would definitely benefit from better soundproofing/double glazed windows as we could hear everything outside and woke up several times in the night. Also wanted to make sure people know about the 15 ringgit pp breakfast menu 8-11am as we only knew about the free coffee until our last morning.

I stayed here for 6 nights and overall had an amazing time. If you want a hostel to socialise, meet people from all over the world (including many friendly foreigner travelers), this is hands-down the best spot in KL. Definitely a 5-star vibe for community and atmosphere! However, not everything was perfect. The manager (the heavier man) and the lady at the front desk with glasses were quite rude and gave off an unfriendly, almost angry attitude. Honestly, dealing with them felt uncomfortable. On the other hand, Dave at the reception is one of the kindest and most helpful people you’ll ever meet—try to go to him for anything you need, he makes the experience smooth. From my personal impression, there also seemed to be a bit of bias against guests from India or countries with Black communities, which didn’t feel right. That said, the social atmosphere, events, and people you meet here make up for the negatives. Overall: Great hostel for social life, just be mindful who you deal with at the desk.

This place has everything you need for a perfect backpacker experience in KL The indoor bar is super cozy, great drinks, chill vibes, and the perfect spot to meet fellow travellers They also have daily events that make it easy to socialize and have fun. The environment is really welcoming and vibrant, with cool decor and comfy spaces to hang out. Plus, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful they go above and beyond to make you feel at home and made my stay unforgettable. Keep being awesome Highly recommend for solo travellers or anyone looking for a good time in the heart of Chinatown
