Bestow Capsule Hostel

An old hotel in Bukit Bintang has been refitted with capsule dormitories and relaunched as Bestow Hostel. The downstairs capsules, clean, modernistic and air conditioned have good facilities: different lighting modes, power point and USB socket. Only the TV does not function. Ventilation is good and I slept well. The capsules themselves are of lightweight plastic construction, which I do not expect to age well. Already the bed base was cracked and the soft foam mattress was barely comfortable. But these capsules are apparently much better than the cheaper wooden capsules upstairs. The kitchen facilities are minimal. The common areas, unlike the space age capsules, look worn and shabby. Each toilet and shower share the same cubicle - it's rather cramped, and the shower heaters don't work. The wifi signal is strong in the reception area but weak away from it.
