Im not complaining but I just hope the cleanliness can be improved. The entrance glass door itself was soooo dirty and full of finger prints like never ever wiped before. I almost couldn't touch it.
Its a place which reflects Christianity and I wish that it can emphasise a more pleasant experience. Thank u.

Studies music here. Rate is relatively affordable and quality of tutorial is good. Food prices is however on the high side.
Attended a course there and much regretted, time and money wasted. I was mislead by admin that advertised the teacher's qualification as qualified teacher but in actual fact the teacher hasn't completed the field of study, nor has gained the paper qualification yet. I only found out this on the first class after paying full payment plus membership fee.
Teacher came to every class mostly unprepared of what to teach, no proper teaching outline. There were few times even students had to correct teacher's mistakes and tell teacher what to do.
Teacher made students "fly" while students still need to learn how to "crawl", unable to find out students weakness and teach accordingly.
Teacher was totally inexperienced, unfocused on teaching, unprofessional, wasting time on every class,first 15 minutes talking about non-related personal things just to let the time passed without teaching, the last class even wasted more than 30 minutes talking own personal stories. Teacher's rating 2/10.
Classroom arrangement always changed by admin.

YMCA has lost it's glory and their mission statement. My mum joined the senior citizen club. Due to the staff not doing their job they appointed a member who checks on people by stopping other members midway from dancing to check on their membership and request you leave. This self-appointed person will boss you around where to sit, how to talk and who can come in. I am caregiver for my mum of 79 years old who has dementia so it is very disturbing for my mum to encounter this rude person. Now they organise senior citizen club events on a weekday, which is not fair for working family caregivers. The event is a pot luck that YMCA does not pay for and is paid for by members.
For their own charity drives, they will always have it on a weekend. And boy do they pester you to buy their tickets! You will get countless of whatsapp, reminders personally, to stop dancing just to repeatedly ask you to buy tickets and they are RM90 a pop.
Should you like to be marshalled by a rude senior citizen and treated unfairly, this is your place.
I use to join YMCA activities when I was a youth. It has lost the glory days because of very unemphatic staff. Is ironic isn't it that YMCA when their mission is to bring fun.

YMCA is an old hostel but well kept. Service is very good as always. Staff are approachable and friendly and can be trusted. It's location is very accessible to KL Sentral and NU Sentral and the Indian and Chinese restaurants leading to the monorail. Looking forward to using the new structure presently under construction!
Great location. Large rooms though the attached Bathrooms are a bit basic. Friendly staff and it's advisable to book your room as it's often full.
Very comfortable beds.

Very basic, dun expect much
The shower has no holder, shower screen shakes cos rails were broken
The best part is the location, very close to KL Sentral, convenience stores and coffee shops

The check-in and check-out is so slow. They must modernise the processes. The desk clerk on duty was rude to us and spoke to us with an evident racial bias. Was preaching us than providing efficient service!
The saving grace for this hostel: a large car park and location in Little India.
