Location, Comfort, Cleanings”

PODs is extremely near to NU Sentral/KL Sentral, is like 5mins walk over. The staff are friendly and helpful, i expect to arrive early and made a request to deposit my bag, but staff went beyond by allowing me to check in. booked an 8 Mixed the dorm, spacious within and comfortable beds. no privacy curtain but not a big issue. toilets are clean and by my count sufficient if not running full house. there are 3 showers with good strength water and heater, plus 2 toilets. shared basins places 4, sufficient for use. noise wise ok, it's norm to hear footsteps and doors, when backpacking, get use to it or bring ear plugs. beds are comfortable too!

Great space, excellent staff and cafe!”

Loved staying at this place, for a backpackers/hostel the location is brilliant, just a minute's walk from the Kuala Lumpur Sentral train station, transport hub and mall. The owner is really nice and the cafe space is also delightful for work. They have affordably priced Filipino food at the moment plus the facilities are clean. However, all this also depends on the other guests who are staying at the same time. I stayed here for 4 days and had an overall very positive experience.

Will stay again”

First time trying hostel and dormitory style lodging for my travel. Absolutely a very good experience staying in POD. Thanks to all staff especially Mr Chris who had made the stay truly memorable as the experience in this dormitory is very comfortable and value for money. I would recommend if it's for a short stay or if you happen to arrive in KL very late and need a good place to rest. Location wise is very close to the MRT, LRT and monorail. And if you want to travel to Genting Highland, the bus terminal is also nearby the POD. Definitely will stay here again.

Relaxing at a great location ”

Good overnight stay before proceeding to another location the next morning. Staff were professional and the room was very clean. The shared toilet was very well kept and clean. Just be mindful of the noise that can be heard from the next room. Therefore I had to lower my voice when I spoke to my room mate too. Overall I enjoyed my stay and will book this hotel again.

Awesome stay”

When I walk into the cafe to check in, the environment is very nice and comfy. during I arrive was about midnight, the host is very polite welcome me. The room is not big, looks clean, with centralize aircon, so unable to control the temperature, yet the temperature is just nice, the room also comes with a fan. While the share bath room is also clean too. I spend very less time just to stay a night and check out early morning, did not really explore much the entire property, not much comment on the facility Overall is a great stay as it very near to KL sentral, ease to access to all kind of public transport. I will definitely stay at this place if I happen to be here again.
