Very clean, volunteer very helpful. But soundsproof not that good, even in private room, still can hear noises from outside clearly, but that's hostel, i understand.
It may not be ideal for light sleepers, though they probably wouldn’t choose a hostel in the first place.
The room itself is very good at this price, comfortable bed.

I used to stay here on n off almost 6months +,
I considered one the best Location in terms of public transportation especially State Govt Rapid Pg covering from all four largest residents district in island and mainland, based on daily foods needed by all the tourist they many traditional n famously shop n roadside stalls selling locals delights.. Majority the prices are very reasonable n affordable.. I would say The 60 management should do something for improvement n betterments of the whole building especially within indoor parts.. Staff services getting better n improvement as I felt they're changed the cleanniness n tidyness of the main living Hall n all the toilets.. It's worth every penny I spends at the 60..

I booked the room last minute in the early hours. The owner was asleep, so I had to wait until almost dawn to check in. The bathroom is outside, in a separate, small but perfectly adequate room. Overall, it's a convenient and good value option in the area, especially since I struggled to find a room during the holidays. So, all things considered, it was a good experience.

The room was cleaner than expected. There was a water dispenser right after exiting the elevator, and there were two bottles of water in the room. However, they didn't provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers, so you had to bring your own.
No deposit required, which was nice. The soundproofing was poor, and I was woken up by the crowd outside one morning. 😞 The window wouldn't close properly, and the bathroom vent fan could see outside, so I had to use a towel to block it out. 🙁 I didn't dare shower, so I slept for a few hours before leaving.

The hotel says it was converted from a historical building, but what I can't understand is why there isn't even a name on the door. I couldn't be sure even after driving around a few times, and it was difficult to stop and confirm. Although there was an email description, I couldn't confirm from the door that this was the place the email said it was.
The walls of the room are a bit thin, and I can feel it when the residents in the isolation room lean against the wall. The Muslim morning prayer begins at 5 a.m. One of the 4 water heaters was broken, and one was turned on to 55 degrees but still seemed to be 37 degrees. I feel that the overall facilities are rough.
The location of the hotel is very good, right next to love lane. It is a good choice for those who like nightlife. It has to be close to other places as well.
The overall experience was not as good as expected.

HHusin AlatasHad a nice stay at the hotel. I was in transit so only needed the hotel for a few hours to catch a nap and shower.
The place is new, you can smell the new shower. You get a nice large space with 2 ceiling fans and an AC that works really well. It seems like a home converted into a hotel where you leave shoes off and kept in a locker before you enter the property. They have cold, warm and hot water machine.
My only issue is that throughout the night there were some machine noises going on. So be aware if you are sensitive to sound whilst sleeping.
Oh, although they have no lift, the front desk kindly offered to carry my bags to the 2nd floor which was a pleasant touch to my experience.

EEnyu31🐾 Purrfect Stay at Red Inn Court! 🌟
The Red Inn Court was a fantastic stop on our trip! The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. The location is super convenient for exploring.
The absolute highlight? Watching a super cute cat playing delightfully with guests in the common area! It brought such a warm, homey feeling to the whole place. We loved seeing people interact with the friendly feline. Definitely recommend this charming spot for a wonderful, feel-good experience! 💖

Sshihab25I had an excellent stay at Sembilan Inn by Soft Loft. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location is great and easily accessible, making it convenient for getting around. The service was outstanding — the staff were friendly, polite and always ready to help. All amenities were well provided and everything worked perfectly. A fantastic choice for solo travelers and great value for money. Highly recommended!
