“Staying here is about location and price, right in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown with incredibly accommodating staff. The 'space' concept delivers privacy at a hostel price. I found the capsules surprisingly comfortable and quiet, and the entire place remarkably clean.”

Each capsule needs a keycard to turn on the lights. There are eight beds in my room, but it still feels very private.
