Dorms KL

This sociable hostel in a renovated shophouse is within stumbling distance of the bars and eateries of Changkat Bukit Bintang and Jln Alor. There is a comfy lounge area where travellers congregate to swig beers and watch movies. The spotless bathrooms have rain showers.

Includes a breakfast of roti canai (flaky, flat bread) from the nasi kandar (rice served with different curries) joint next door.
