Great
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.

It was very convenient and having stayed here previously, I was impressed by the cleanliness of the space as well as the value for money. Walls are quite thin so you can expect to hear the next door neighbour speaking and the constant slamming of doors. Triple room is located beside reception so expect some noise. You can hear the water running at the showers at the rear end of the building. Ear plugs are however provided.

Water was not hot enough for me.
But the weather was hot so it would be ok if people like cold shower in hot weather.
Overall good hostel because the location and cafe.

Feedback from a (young at heart) 60 year old.
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 !?

Booked a family room for myself and two kids. Arrived to find was only two single beds jammed into small loft space (which wasn’t really a loft just tight but space couldn’t even stand in room and I’m very short)... was also told kids don’t usually stay and weren’t allowed at rooftop/bar area even with myself at anytime & was fully booked so couldn’t change rooms.
Sadly next day booked and paid another hotel. Then was told only refund through Wotif and staff were lovely trying help except manager who was rude and made fun of us in Malay not realising I speak fluent Indonesian as Australian plus he refused to refund and became even more scarastic once realised I had understood all he spoken about. Not very nice ending.
Location fantastic for Chinatown etc and cafes downstairs some best had there. Single travellers recommend but area not the safest. The rest staff were very lovely.. so mixed emotions but can’t say overall I’d recommend it at all

Aawesome hostel.
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.

Stayed for 2 nights. Had a breeze through check in and check out. Rooms were clean and comfy; I thought the breakfast was good enough compared to some places. Not ideal for older people though - it can get quite noisy sometimes due to loading and unloading commotions outside. Would definitely be back.

The place was nice overall, breakfast was basic but enough to start the day. There wasn’t much interaction with other guests but they had good food tours at night which we went on and met a few travelers. The bed in our room (16) was awful and our backs got destroyed by it. The location was good in Chinatown and lots of good food around. Close to lots of transit options so easy to get around KL

Stay at Mingle in KL
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.

Hit and miss
We stayed here two nights and had two very different experiences. One the first night we were checked in by a very friendly guy into a clean loft room #15 with a sink and desk below the bed, and air conditioning above. The bed was clean and room adequate ALTHOUGH VERY noisy. The walls were very thin and not connected at the roof. Due to an error we made when booking we had to switch rooms the second night. The female staff member was very rude, unfriendly and unhelpful. The second room #36 was tiny and dirty. It was too small for two people, even though it was a double room. With our backpacks on the floor, we couldn't both stand at the same time. The bed was in a little pocket in the wall that got very hot at night. Overall I'm sure you will find something better for a similar price in KL.

Very cozy hostel!
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.

Scheduled Weekly Group Activities
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.
