“Good for the price, helpful staff, good location”

Reviewed 14 January 2012

Stayed in Anjung KL with a group of friends. We arrived very early in the morning around 5am and the staff (Anderson) was kind enough to let us check in early, rest and freshen up. Staff was also helpful with directions, arranging for transportation to Berjaya Hills-Colmar Tropicale and Batu Caves. Another staff (Florence) also offered to show us were to buy souvenirs and foodstuff but we got back to the guesthouse quite late in the evening already, so it was cancelled.

We got 2 rooms both in the ground floor. They are clean, A/C has remote so we just regulated the temperature so it won't get too cold. Shared bathrooms are clean. Free Wi-Fi.

Cons:
1. During our stay, there was a permeating smell like that of a dead rat near the hand wash area. But since we were out the whole day it wasn't much of a bother.
2. Since we stayed in the ground floor, we can hear water passing through the pipes from the users on the upper floor. Disrupts sleep.
3. Guests have to leave their footwear outside. This is probably in line with Malay culture. If one is not used to this (as we are) then it could be bothersome. But then as they say, "When in Rome, be a Roman", the same goes if one travels to Malaysia. Be prepared for the country's culture.
4. One might get caught in the traffic jam in the area on evenings on weekends as there are bars and restaurants up the hill from Anjung KL. But if the nightlife is your thing, then this is the place for you.

“Worth its price”

Reviewed 21 November 2011

Helpful owners and at a great location: just around the corner from Jalan Alor. Rooms are small and windowless, but they have AC and are clean. Shared bathrooms are quite good. Nice sitting area in the front of the house and free WIFI and drinking water. After all good value.

“Small rooms, but clean.”

Reviewed 24 October 2011

We had booked in advance but due to some mistake we ended up getting a twin room instead of a double. It was a ratty room with a bunk bed, no windows and an icy air-con just above the top bunk. We ended up taking turns sleeping on mats on the floor.
Anyway. The hotel is centrally located - we walked to just about everything. It's also cheap, clean and the staff is friendly :-)

“An affordable backpacker guest house with excellent location”

Reviewed 10 June 2011

1

person found this review helpful

Stayed in Anjung KL twice, in February 2009 with my mom and aunt and in August 2010 with a friend. I think this is an affordable guest house for backpackers, it's homey and pretty comfortable. It has excellent location, very near Jalan Bukit Bintang (where the action is), so it's within walking distance to food, cafes, shopping malls, sky train. The rooms are not big, but they're clean, with 2 or 3 shared bathrooms which are also quite clean. The owner/staffs are friendly and helpful.
