Lonely Planet review
This spacious, beautifully decorated and popular retreat (one of KL's best) has airy common lounges and a rooftop sitting area. Bright Western- or Malay-style rooms provide for a pleasant stay and the four- or six-bed dorms come with either fan or air-con.
It may be housed above a bar and a cafe, but the Pondok still somehow maintains more of a chummy beach house atmosphere than that of a city-central pit stop. This is thanks to a sandy paint job, bamboo blinds and a mixture of comfy seating both in the reception and the upstairs lounge. There's a mix of room standards (you get what you pay for). Some are clean, close-quartered and open onto communal areas, while others are nicely set back. Communal amenities are passable. The rooftop garden is a huge drawcard: the perfect place to chill with a cold drink, swap travel notes or enjoy the KL sparkle at night. Free breakfast and a sun-dappled reading room are other reasons why the Pondok remains a favourite.
