Mingle Hostel Kuala Lumpur

The staff is incredibly friendly. They organized a Diwali dinner for guests which was so beautiful. There are a lot of activities organized by the hostel so it’s a great way to meet fellow travelers. The hostel is beautiful. There is a kitchen if you want to cook and a working space. The terrace turns into a bar at night. The location is great, central. You can walk to most of the tourist attractions or take a Grab for very little money. The staff is always happy to help you with your travels. I couldn’t recommend this hostel enough. I’m in KL often and I always stay there. It was my 6th time now.

Great location, friendly staff, shabby chic decor and a nice friendly atmosphere but very noisy (from both within and outside the hostel.) Maybe not a place for the more mature traveller !?

I loved the hostel. Not a very social one. No daily activities. I bunked with Laura who works there and she's a delight. Very central to Pasar Seni station. Right in the heart of Chinatown. I didn't like how unsafe the street was for a solo female traveller. For that reason, I would be extra careful and take a Grab car (like Uber) whenever you need to.

Was a great place to stay. Beds offered privacy curtains which also meant you didn't get woken up by the light being turned on. Breakfast was great too.

Great hostel, would stay again.

Very cozy and well organized hostel with both private and shared rooms. Friendly staff. There's a rooftop where they serve breakfast in the morning and have a bar in the evening. Downstairs there's a place to eat as well. Hop-on-hop-off bus stop is just a couple hundred meters the main door I can definitely recommend the Mingle Hostel.

generally i am happy with the hostel, the staff are friendly, the room is clean, the location is goo, just that the common bathroom could still be improved. one of the shower room is out of order.

Stayed here 2 nights; would definitely return! The nice and helpful Mingle staff definitely aim to engage the diverse solo travelers, with various activities that always include food. I signed up for a Saturday group (7 ppl max) tour; the cost was 25 RD (less than $6 USD) for a 6 hour tour outside of KL. I recommend it! The hostel was a bit noisy at night due to some male guests, but when asked to quiet down they willingly did. Mingle does provide earplugs. There are various seating areas to make phone calls or chat with other backpackers. All areas were clean and spacious. The only things I had to get used to were walking past the open modern-industrial bathrooms to the roof bar, for breakfast and the placement of the community sink to brush my teeth. Take an umbrella to the roof bar if it is raining (esp. during breakfast time) or you will get wet. There are 6 toilets and 6 showers; I never had to wait in line. I don't like that the hostel charges to rent the padlock for the locker assigned to the pods. I stayed in a 4 room pod so I felt comfortable storing my 2 bags in the locker without a lock. The location is in walking distance to a few temples, night markets and food spots. The restaurant downstairs is delicious and you can get a 10% discount for showing your key card. I was advised to use GRAB only if I wanted a ride to get around; the hostel is easily found on the app. Bring your slippers (shower shoes or basic flip flops) for your room, no shows allowed inside.
