Green Hut Lodge, Kuala Lumpur

For the price I paid I could have done much better. Just assume everything on the website that says free means bad. Bad wifi, bad coffee, bad breakfast, etc. No wifi in the room and on the lobby level the signal is poor at best. This was a big deal since I work on the internet and booked ahead because I would need dependable access. No news channel on the lounge tv. The service is only mediocre, don't expect them to go out of their way or be happy to help. Location is good. Stay here IF all you need is a basic place to lay your head.

I was higher recommed my friends and keep come back here for the good value hostel.... What's i did like is the computer too slow only..But still fine because internet is free...

The aforementioned reviews are sadly correct. Had I taken a moment to check this place out further instead of relying on I would have refused to stay at all. We were booked into this hostel for just over a week by a university group agent who followed the Lonely Planet guide (this is a "favorite pick" for them, I am entirely unsure as to why that is). I stayed a few extra days, booking it before I knew how bad this place was. There are bedbugs - quite large and voracious, the plump manager is quite rude and the only one who speaks more than rudimentary English (although the under-staff is quite nice) and usually more intent upon "doing her thing and having fun" than doing her job. Theft is RAMPANT and they accept no liability even if your items are in the "safety lockers" when stolen. I myself had no items stolen but talked to several who had, mainly from the dorm situation, and after hearing similar stories (averaging once every two days) began to make some rather scary conclusions as to whom the thieves may have been. Without proof I simply cannot say but since the thefts were constant and similar in scope (including laptops, credit cards, etc) the pattern that it may have been an employee who knew the activity pattern of the guests is distinctly possible. Be aware that you are required to pay a "key deposit" for both your room and the locker (if you use one). The day I left I came down over an hour before I was planning to leave and was immediately asked to hand over my key they needed my room "immediate!!" and insisted upon taking my key then. Last check out is 11am-12pm - I came down at just after 10am. Room check-in supposedly doesn't begin until 3pm according to the posted signs. The manager waved and said "I be right back" and vanished. There was no one at the desk until I did leave and I was unable to obtain my deposits back. Since I had to depart in order to make my flight I was forced to leave, and subsequent inquiries (over four) to have the return deposits sent over to a colleague in the city have been ignored. Other items of interest. There is no news station access via the cable tv in the common area. The incident in Mumbai occurred while we were there and other than purchased newspapers we could get no live news of it without going elsewhere. The room windows have bars on the inside - I sincerely hope they never have a fire you would be unable to get out. That is the rooms that HAVE windows - many do not. The staff will turn off your air conditioning unit when they come in to clean leaving you to return to a hot room instead of a bit of cool air after a long day in the heat. Overall I do not recommend staying at this hostel. There are many other options in KL that are better, cleaner, and just as economical, even on the same street. If you are at all familiar with hostels this is not like others you have been to. Be careful and aware.
