Not for Everyone – A Unique Experience in a City-Center Capsule HostelThis was my first time staying in a capsule-style hostel, and overall, it was an *interesting* experience.The location is good—right in the city center of Kuala Lumpur—but keep in mind that it’s not close to the airport (about four tolls away), so it’s better suited for city exploration rather than quick layovers.My room was a small single with no windows. There was a sink inside, but it didn’t work, and there was no way to control the air conditioning. Cold air constantly blew through a ceiling vent you couldn't reach, and it made the room quite chilly at night. You’re not allowed to bring food or drinks into the room—which I understand—but I do wish I could have kept water with me at night.The breakfast made me sick on the first day, so I didn’t eat it again. You’re also only given *one towel for your entire stay*, with no face towel. The bathrooms and toilets are shared and located next to my room. While they were cleaned daily (which I appreciated), they reused the same wet towel on the bathroom floor, and there were no paper towels to dry your hands.Noise was a big issue during my stay. Despite signs asking guests to be quiet, people constantly came and went loudly, especially around my room, and the lounge area was often full of people speaking loudly as well. You have to remove your shoes and wear indoor slippers in the lounge, and store your shoes in a box outside your room—which I wasn’t used to, but I now realize is part of hostel culture.If you don’t mind tight spaces (you can touch both walls with your arms stretched out), a shared bathroom, minimal privacy, and a loud environment, this might be a good budget choice. There is good storage space, a small desk and table, and the concept could work well for someone with a short stopover or on a tight budget.But if you're looking for comfort, quiet, and personal space—this may not be the right fit.
