    The hostel is well located, just blocks away from the popular Petaling street, and near everything else. the staff is friendly and helpful, providing advice and assistance to guests. There is a rooftop bar where guests can enjoy the ambiance, especially during monsoon season. the hostel is right next to a central subway station, making it convenient for exploring the area. there is a 7/11 convenience store downstairs for added convenience.

    The hostel lacks social interaction as the common area upstairs is often empty, limiting opportunities to mingle with other guests.

    We arrived at Birdnest Guesthouse, Gaia Rooftop Cafe early in the morning and were pleasantly surprised to find that we could check in ahead of schedule. This was a huge help and we are so grateful. the location is perfect, with easy access to public transportation and a wide range of food shops just a minute away. Plus, many popular tourist attractions are within a short walking distance. the upstairs sky garden area was a cool and social space in the evenings, where we had the chance to interact with other guests. We especially enjoyed the incredible location, right opposite the Pasar Seni metro station, which made it effortless to travel from the airport. Being next to Chinatown allowed us to explore the area easily. 😊.

    The location of the hotel is highly praised by guests, with several reviews mentioning it as a positive aspect. It is conveniently located near cafes, central market, metro station, and a 7-Eleven. The rooftop area is also mentioned as a nice spot to meet people or relax. Additionally, the rooms are described as cozy and clean, providing a comfortable stay for guests.

    One negative aspect mentioned by a guest is that the hostel was not very social, even though there was ample space for interaction. The common areas were often empty, reducing the opportunity to socialize with fellow guests.

    The rooftop cafe at Birdnest Guesthouse was a pleasant surprise. The view from up there was wonderful, especially during sunrise and sunset. We enjoyed our breakfast on the terrace, sipping on coffee while taking in the bustling city below. The atmosphere was cozy, with lovely decorations and plants all around. It's a great spot to relax and soak in the city vibes. I would definitely recommend this hotel for its charming rooftop cafe and amazing views.

    The staff at this guesthouse were absolutely lovely and made my Christmas stay even more enjoyable. the rooftop terrace was a highlight, with its lush greenery, comfortable seating, and breathtaking sunset views. the hostel also offered great amenities such as a book exchange and a common area for socializing. the location was perfect, being centrally located and close to delicious food options and public transportation.

    My only complaint about my stay was the room I was assigned. It was adjacent to reception and lacked a window, so the only fresh air came from the bathroom window.
