Hostel Cosmopolitan, Gem in chow kit area!

Adieu, Travelers home!

Adieu, Travelers home!A good riddance one.


We then got back to travellers home to pick up our bag, and ready to proceed to our next hostel in Chow kit area.  I felt like so relieve when we finally say our last adios to this travelers home. We met some good friend there.


We took the bus to get to chow kit. Since the bus was empty, we could even chat with the bus conductress, who apparently is Indonesian, from Padang to be exact, so as the driver. But their Malay accent now was really thick!If she didn't told me her origin, i couldn't never tell. 

Hello Cosmopolitan!
By the time we arrive in the chow kit area, i felt a bit dejavu. The situation is really like what i had in Jakarta, in bandung. It's even reminiscent me of 1 particular area: Cicadas. When the streets were took over by street vendor.
A typical view of chowkit surrounding, there's lotsa food stall around the area when the noon starts fall


Then we arrived in some old building, it's not on it's good shape. Like trash everywhere! Man, suddenly i felt dispirited. oh, please God, don't let the same thing happen again! we took the one and only elevator that available. But then when the elevator were opened, and we see the hostel signage. Boy, we did blown-away!Who could ever thought!that in this crappy building, with its dingy surrounding, there lays a GEM called Cosmopolitan hostel!




we got inside, and the reception area already gave us a chill and relax vibe. The reception guys showed us around the facilities there: the toilets and bath area, the kitchen and the dining area and then finally i arrive at my female dorm. and ta da..all is pink!!!my god, i felt like my girly radar was getting juice up. Never been a fan of pink before, but really, after spend my time in a possible worst place, i really appreciate the new sparkling sheet, clean towel, with the pink wall, some magazine and novel to kill time, a hairdryer to dry your hair, and even a hair straightener and a baby scents in the air!just wow.I'm super happy! and for those luxury, i've only paid for only 20 MYR. And if it's still not enough. if you spend more then 3 night, you'll get 2 MYR discount every night. for example, stay there for 3 night then you only gonna pay: 20 MYR+18MYR+16MYR!do i recommend this Cosmopolitan hostel? well yes!Stay here, and you'll be at ease. 

Soon after we manage our stay there, We went to KLCC just to look at the tower. And oh, i also went to kinokuniya, and found some book that way cheaper to buy here then in Jakarta. I think Q had some issue with his credit card, so he's trying to fix it.
