Little India
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1 review)
"This hotel is very good. Rooms are clean and nice and staff are pleasant and helpful. It is located very close to Indian restaurants and shops. One downside is the lack of an intercom. It is not possible to contact reception from the room. Another downside is that the AC in the lobby/reception is quite weak. Another issue in reception is that the staff sit under some very powerful lights which generate so much heat that it's impossible to stand next to the desk to talk to them. I can't imagine...

10/10 Excellent

The location is very strategic, it's just 15mins away from KLIA. The room and shared bathroom were also clean. The staffs were very friendly too. Most importantly, this place is safe for those who are travelling alone especially ladies. The price is also quite cheap. Just that, the rooms are not sound proof so you can basically hear the outside sound other than that this would be the best option for those who are looking for a budget hostel and nearby to the airport.
