    This poshtel may be the first in Malaysia that caters for backpackers and solo-travelers like me in such nice, cozy and most importantly, clean ambient! The room size is good enough for 2 with standard amenities that makes your stay convenient, apart from being comfortable. I often see this type of hotel in Taiwan and did not expect it in Malaysia, with such good standards. Would definitely recommend to others and return for future stay.
