Rest, Work, and Play

Jomy Yaw, Play! Klang Coshtel

02-Feb-19 13:00

Rest, Work, and Play

Ever travelled in a foreign place and needed a quick place to stay, without having to compromise the cost of a luxury accommodation? Well, Jomy of Play! Klang Coshtel, has brought the best of two worlds together - a co-working space and a backpacker’s hostel. Conveniently located in a 2-storey pre-war building in front of the Klang railway station, travellers can meet locals in a creative, fun space. With 3 dorm rooms on the ground floor and a co-working space on the first floor, this is truly a traveller’s delight for rest, work, play, and even getting inspiration. I Love KL paid a visit to the space to see whether this new concept will catch on and be the norm in the future.
