It\u2019s a melting pot of influences and cultures (Indian, Chinese, Malay, Western), there\u2019s a ton of activities to do, and it\u2019s a foodie heaven that I think rivals nearby Bangkok.<\/p>\n<p>So \u201cKL\u201d is a must for anyone backpacking the region.<\/p>\n<p>To help you make the most of your visit, here are my favorite hostels in Kuala Lumpur. These are the places I stay at, as they\u2019re all centrally located and offer a lot of value, ensuring that you\u2019ll save money!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price legend (per night):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$ \u2013 Under 50 MYR<\/li>\n<li>$$ \u2013 50-70 MYR<\/li>\n<li>$$$ \u2013 Over 70 MYR<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>1.

Chinatown has tons of cheap and delicious places to eat, so the area makes for a good base (especially for foodies).<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a shared kitchen and caf\u00e9, and the staff organize lots of activities to help you see the city and connect with people. The dorm beds have privacy curtains, and the mattresses are comfy. There are lights and outlets to charge your stuff too. It\u2019s one of the most popular hostels in town.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chinatown Hostel at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$$<\/li>\n<li>Convenient central location<\/li>\n<li>Female-only dorms<\/li>\n<li>Social atmosphere makes it easy to meet people<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Beds from 55 MYR, private rooms from 175 MYR.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><center><a class=\"bookhostel\" href=\"https:\/\/hostelworld.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1101lHtj\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hostelworld.com%2Fst%2Fhostels%2Fp%2F270462%2Fchinatown-hostel-by-mingle%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\">Book here!<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<h3>2.

It\u2019s located in the penthouse duplex of a skyscraper, so you get epic views. There\u2019s also a rooftop area where you can take part in yoga classes or just hang out, and guests get access to the infinity pool that looks down over the city from the 37th floor.<\/p>\n<p>The staff organize lots of events too, including food tours. The dorm beds are super thick and have curtains so you can get a good night\u2019s sleep. There are bed lights and outlets too.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s one of the more expensive hostels, I think you get a lot of value for the price. It\u2019s a bit further out from downtown, but you\u2019re just a three-minute walk from public transit, which can get you anywhere you need to go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Penthouse on 34 at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$$$<\/li>\n<li>Gym and pool<\/li>\n<li>Epic views<\/li>\n<li>Lots of events so it\u2019s easy to socialize<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Beds from 75 MYR, private rooms from 130 MYR.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><center><a class=\"bookhostel\" href=\"https:\/\/hostelworld.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1101lHtj\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hostelworld.com%2Fst%2Fhostels%2Fp%2F297345%2Fpenthouse-on-34-the-highest-hostel-in-kuala-lumpur%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\">Book here!<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<h3>3.

All the rooms have AC, and there\u2019s a cool rooftop caf\u00e9 where you can hang out and relax. It\u2019s not super social, though there\u2019s plenty of space to chill.<\/p>\n<p>The rooms are basic but comfortable, and the showers all have hot water and decent pressure. It\u2019s not a fancy hostel, but it\u2019s one of the most affordable in town, so it\u2019s a great choice for budget-minded travelers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Birdnest Collective at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$<\/li>\n<li>Most affordable option<\/li>\n<li>Rooftop caf\u00e9<\/li>\n<li>Excellent location<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Beds from 45 MYR, private rooms from 85 MYR.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><center><a class=\"bookhostel\" href=\"https:\/\/hostelworld.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1101lHtj\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.swedish.hostelworld.com%2Fst%2Fvandrarhem%2Fp%2F101876%2Fbirdnest-collective-cafe-and-guesthouse\" rel=\"nofollow\">Book here!<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<h3>4.

There\u2019s also a kitchen where you can cook your own meals if you\u2019re on a budget. There\u2019s free Wi-Fi too.<\/p>\n<p>The cozy, pod-style bunks have thick mattresses, individual lights, and lockers to keep your things safe and secure.

Located in Chinatown, it has an artsy, futuristic vibe, as the walls are covered in space-themed murals and all the beds are capsule pods. It\u2019s not a social hostel, since everyone has their own capsule, but there are lots of things to do nearby, as well as places to eat (including the Petaling Street Market).<\/p>\n<p>The pods are comfortable and all have lights, outlets, and AC so you can get a decent night\u2019s sleep.
