In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Anyone who has stayed in a hostel and had to get up at 4am to wait for the shared bathroom will understand why Revopackers stands out. The selling point is clear and genuinely rare at backpacker prices: every room has its own bathroom, dorm or private, so there is no lining up for shared toilets like at most hostels. The overall score sits around 8.1/10. You get both dorms and private rooms, all air-conditioned, and each dorm bed comes with a locker, a reading light, and a personal outlet — a setup that treats your privacy better than most stays in the same price bracket.
Food and amenities
Be straight about cleanliness, though: reviews run mixed. Plenty of guests say it is clean, but some have hit clogged toilets or leaky showers. The smart move is to read the latest reviews before booking and flag any problem to staff the moment you spot it. On food, there is a light free breakfast — bread and hot drinks, enough to get you out the door. There is a common area to sit in and free Wi-Fi throughout the building. Staff earn steady praise for being friendly and helpful. The overall feel is a budget hostel that covers the essentials and works in practice, not a place that tries to be fancy.
Location and getting there
Revopackers is in Bukit Bintang, near Berjaya Times Square — the big mall with both a food court and an indoor theme park, a few minutes on foot. It is about a 5-minute walk to Hang Tuah and Imbi Monorail, from which you can connect by train to KL Sentral or anywhere else in the city. So you are in the middle of the shopping district at a price that stays friendly to your wallet.
Things to know before booking
The bathroom situation is the headline, so weigh it both ways. The private bathroom in every room is the reason to come, but cleanliness is exactly where reviews split — some guests run into clogged toilets or leaky showers. It is also about a 5-minute walk to the Monorail, close but not right at the station, and the amenities are basic budget-stay essentials. Read the most recent reviews on bathroom condition before you commit, and report anything wrong as soon as you check in.
Our take
Revopackers fits travelers who want the privacy of an in-room bathroom without paying hotel rates, and who want to stay right in the heart of Bukit Bintang. If skipping the shared bathroom matters to you, this place delivers exactly that on a budget — just check the latest reviews on bathroom condition before you decide.
