The walk to Komtar is twenty minutes minimum. The price isn't worth the distance.

The hostel is located far from the center, about 20 min walk from the Komtar. The center is easy to reach by bus though. Breakfast was nice and wifi is good! The place is more a community center than a hostel.

Sometimes people might not like their rooms to be kept everyday. So maybe get some door hangers saying "no cleaning" would be good.

It is in the city itself and KOMTAR is just a walking distance. It is very affordable.

Nice Place. But the toilet has no exit fan so the toilet smell remain in the room forever. Other then that is OK.

Notes:
The hostel is by the Macalister street, don't follow misleading direction on the map on their own website!
15-20 minutes walk to the nearest supermarket (Giant) which is in the NE side of the junction of Anson and Burma streets. A KFC fast food is also there.
Junction of Perak and Macalister (2 minutes walk) is a good place to catch a bus towards Komtar, and Burma street is a place to catch a bus to Batu Ferringhi.

It was a bit far out of the way to get to the main sights you had to figure out the bus or get taxi's and the beds were rock hard. It was probably just the weekend we were there but very hard to sleep with the noise from the road. But the staff and facilities couldn't be faulted, just poor location!!
