About

Amethyst Klcc

Amethyst Klcc is a hostel set on the 12th floor of the Mercu Summer Suites building on Jalan Cendana. The location is its strongest asset: the Petronas Twin Towers and Suria KLCC are a short walk away, and the monorail station is close by for exploring the rest of the city.

The property is adults-only and non-smoking, with a 24-hour reception and security. Rooms are simple — the only listed type is a mixed dormitory — but guests get extras like a shared kitchen, a communal lounge with a TV and dining table, plus access to an outdoor pool and gym in the building.
