Review Hostel: Pondok Lodge

In KL, the boys found a cheap yet nice hostel in Bukit Bintang. They found it through hostel world . It's quite cheap there that you have to pay only RM25 /person/night for the 4 Bed Mixed Dorm type. That includes comfortable fully air-conditioned room, breakfast, internet access, towels for hire, shared bedroom., reading rooms, TV room and rooftop garden sitting area. Its located is strategic which is within walking distance from the Twin Towers, KL Tower, China Town, Pudu Raya bus terminal, restaurants, clubs and bars, 24-hour convenience stores, shopping malls and the Monorail. I know, nice right? ;) So, for all the budget traveler like me, I recommend this kind of hostel to be stayed when you visit KL. As we only used that facilities during sleeping hours at night, morning until breakfast, and rest sometimes in the afternoon, we found pleasure staying there for 6 days (included New Year's Eve).
