I really enjoy the hotel’s vibes and environment here. It’s such a chill and relaxing place, especially the lobby’s outdoor balcony area, which is perfect for hanging out and makes me feel at ease. The rooftop also offers a beautiful view of the Merdeka 118 building

Great hostel. Location is excellent, right in the hustle and bustle but not nosiy, because it's on the 5th floor. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Luggage storage after checkout is free until 2pm, after that 5myr/h per luggage piece.

The facility exceeded expectations, providing a hotel-like experience. Its proximity to the Petronas Towers is exceptional. The dorms are remarkably comfortable, featuring new amenities, air conditioning, and a pleasant atmosphere. The cleanliness and friendliness of the staff were also noteworthy. This is the best hostel I've encountered.

Chinatown Hostel by Mingle - Rooftop Private Jacuzzi with Bar

Kuala Lumpur

Housed in a colonial building, Mingle Kuala Lumpur offers accommodation in the heart of Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur. Guests can enjoy a drink at the in-house cafe.

This hostel itself is a literally basecamp for exploring the city. We recommend staying many days to try every possibilities of this place. Jacuzzi on the rooftop? Chill on the upper rooftop? The calm dining room which you can change to a working space? You can't use everything in one day! Also, the location of this hostel is perfect! Many places for exploring are within walking distance and others you can visit by nearby train. Near station Pasar Seni is only one stop away from Sentral.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.

    The host is so friendly and helpful! The hostel is in a great location - so close to the shopping area and metro. It’s so clean and there’s plenty of space in your bunk! I did my laundry here too and it was so cheap and came back so quickly and so clean! Would definitely stay here again.
