Location is very good near China town and bus station. In front of hotel there is local market. Hotel is basic with no windows in rooms but price is cheap. There is station for free bus nearby so you can very easy explore the city.

Great location

Arrived at the street and first couldnt find it. Asked a store close by and got the answer I think its closed... Soon after i found it. Reception is on the rd floor and so are the single rooms. Apparently i booked a single room, so no aircon - but i got a ventilator from the front desk.The front desk are young people and pretty nice. They asked mea couple of times about my magnet card. Single rooms get there private magnet card to open te front room, dorms doesnt. I stayed for 10 days. The room was never cleaned - not even when they cleaned the building for pests like insects. The breakfast included (not for the dorms) was toast and butter. No drinkingwater is provided for free, but you can by it retty cheap at the store next door. Plenty of food and shops in the area, everything is walkable and if not the LTR + MTR are a few meters away.

Bargain

Arrived 4 nights ago and another 5 nights to go.
Prices vary; dorm 18myr a night; I decided on a single room just to catch up on sleep after taking 2 days to get here... and I'm quite happy to stay in that room...... 35myr a night.
All rooms are shared bathrooms; covered over three floors with the reception and communal area being on the third floor.
There's an elevator to save your legs on the stairs if needed.
Make your own toast and coffee/tea for breakfast. Jam/spread and butter supplied.
Communal fridge also..... 
Smoking terrace if needed.
For the price and being very central you can't complain about anything; the basics are here.
Clean bedding and areas.
Bathrooms are hot water showers.
Location is great; Pasar Seni bus terminal has the purple line bus route to Bukit Bintang (free GoKL bus; coloured pink)... leave every 5 minutes.and takesm10 minutes to get to Bukit Bintang.
From.Bukit Bintang you can alight the purple route bus and wait.for another GoKL bus to take you up to twin towers... the information on the reception are Wil give more information.
5 minute Walk will get you to Merdeka Square and then onto the botanical gardens parks and museums walking route...they say 5 hours to.walk around that area...
Overall, I'm happy being here at Matahari.
The lad who manages the place right now is great.
Easy to recommend anyone to stay here... right on the doorstep of chinatown.

Good and cheap Chinatown option

I stayed here a few hours (paid for a whole day though) when their sister hostel, the Matahari Lodge, was fully booked. The staff there asked the staff from Matahari Two to come pick me up as  this seemed hard to find. However, it is very nicely located, it's just beside the Central Market and a few minutes' walk from Chinatown.

Best thing about this hostel is the huge lobby and the very good internet connection. The dorm is also okay, the bed was comfortable and the top bunk is not high up like the one at Matahari One. As always, the staff are very helpful, and there's free coffee--you have to get it at the rooftop though which is silly. They should put some also in the lobby, because that's where people hang out.

All in all, I would definitely stay here when it's fully booked at the Matahari Lodge.

Good location, good price, good staff

Whether I'm staying a week or just passing through for one night I always stay at Matahari. With really good prices for either dorms or single rooms and really nice staff it's a must for me. They also have really outstanding security for such a cheap guesthouse 

The only place I'll stay in KL

Situated just to the back of Central Market, this hostel is in a great location if you have only got a few days in KL.

Basic breakfast of peanut butter, jam and bread (there is a toaster) is available all morning. Free tea and coffee is available 24 hours a day. There is a roof top terrace where all this is kept and a lift if you cant be bothered to walk up the stairs. 

Plates, knives, forks and spoons allow you get a takeout and there is a microwave for heating up food.

Rooms are small but clean and tidy. The dorm beds squeak so try not to move about too much.

The ventilation system works well with an extractor fan in the room.

Staff are super helpful and the room can be booked by a simple e-mail or telephone call. They nearly all speak excellent English.

Good access to the metro and free bus. Internet connection was good and fast while I was there. They do have two old computers that you can use free of charge but they are a little slow.

Good Price, good location

I love to stay here but I can't give them 5 mark.. It quite comfortable..  But quiet different from photos. I can't say it clean but I also can't stay it dirty.. Shower work very well,  but door cant be close.. For short vacation.. Yes this is the place.. It's located by heart of Kuala Lumpur.. N we can see central Market by the window.. Staff also very kind.. N it's cool.. I'm a Muslim girl..  So I have to pray outside my room.. coz the room is not too big.. 

Quite Good

I have stayed at the Matahari for several years, usually for only a couple of days. Bit basic but ideally situated.
I stayed on three occasions in September / October, on the first one for two nights I was disappointed, 
No toilet paper and no towels in the room, often no staff about and cigarette ash in indoor area.
Second visit for one night I noticed a change, a Finnish guy was in the reception and towels back in the room.
On my last stay for two nights the Finnish guy was still there and toilet paper and towels back too.

dissapointed

Central location. 
Room with no window had no fan or AC, but was still alright for the price.
Only one staff member, which seem to be there at all time, and yet very friendly and helpful.
Kitchen is dirty and missing a lot. Even make a cup of tea was hard..

Nice for a night

Needed a place to stay for a couple of nights around new year. Had to stay there since most places were full. Can't really say I'm convinced about the place. Building is nothing special, cleanliness is ok, staff ok, prince decent but room really really nothing special. Didn't have a bad stay but I'm sure you can find better value somewhere else.
