This is our second time back at THP. We are true Hatcherians, as I actually started my online endeavors here at THP. It was the perfect environment, as it’s a bit out of the city in beautiful Subang Jaya, (close enough to the metro to get anywhere but with less distractions), it has great food options (Taipan is a vegetarians dream), and fast reliable wifi. As someone who needs to work on Skype a lot, Elaine allowed me the privacy of her art studio, but working in the Writers room would be perfect too as it has aircon. What can be said about the community? We’ve loved it, I expect that it will be different for each person as people move on, but a few Hatcherians have actually opted to make KL their permanent residence and they’re amazing! Activities? Kevin and Elaine know how to strike the perfect balance between work and play, whether it’s a music jam, art session, durian nights (the best people to have had our first experience with!), or excursion to a great restaurant, or remote location. We’ve had more than enough time for building our dreams and exploring Malaysian culture. We love THP, its community and the special something that this amazing couple has been able to create. We would recommend it to anyone! We came knowing nothing about Malaysia and left behind a second family we will miss.

Elaine, Kevin and the rest of the community that has formed around THP made this an experience we will always remember, filled with good food, fun activities, laughter, meaningful/genuine interactions, great memories etc etc etc. And durian binges - I went from skeptic to enthusiast. The personal touch provided by Elaine and Kevin is something special very few coliving spaces have this. We'll be back - come join the family :)

Becoming a part of the Hatchery Place community has been one of the most wonderful and fruitful experience I'm grateful to have had in my life. The space itself is homey, cosy and conducive for hours of concentration - Ginger the cat is an adorable companion!

THP is within walking distance to convenience stores, cafes, restaurants, and train station. There are even a few lovely parks you can spend time at if you feel like taking a break. The community is amazing; inspirational, creative, talented and kind souls, the kind you'd want to be connected with for the rest of your life! Thanks Elaine & Kevin for having me around :) lotsa loves!

Just wanted to say thanks to the host for making my stay at The Hatchery Place (THP) such an unforgettable experience. During my stay at THP, I was treated as a families member. I got to meet many people from around the way. I joined many social activities that THP organises. The cat? Ginger is a nice addition to the place and she’s really cool. The hosts personally invited “hatcherians” (people who used to or currently stayed at THP) for social events at their place. Nearby, there is many shops, restaurants, gyms, bank etc. all within walking distance. Otherwise, just take a Grab. Train isn’t too far away either. The place is really suitable for digital nomads who enjoy peace and quiet but also providing for a really cool social atmosphere with like minded people. The place also functions as a co-working space, so you’ll see a lot of familiar faces too. You will be part of the community after you leave too. I have been to many coliving spaces worldwide and The Hatchery Place is the best place I’ve stayed at. It really is unique in itself. Highly recommended!

Thank you Elaine and Kevin for creating such a wonderful place. The Hatchery Place felt like a home to me and you were my family. I appreciate the extra mile you went to help me out. I got to meet a host of wonderful people and Ginger the cat. I hope THP continues to flourish in the future as you add a lot of value to people’s lives.

Away from the city centre, tucked away in a little house in USJ, Subang Jaya, you'd be pleasantly surprised by the unassuming facade of this terrace home to find a wonderful place worth visiting to stay, co-work or attend workshops.

I love the cozy decors, ambience and warm welcome from my hosts and friends Elaine & Kevin and truly proud of what they have put together.

Thank you again for making me feel at home, I'm sure to come by again.

I stayed 3 months at this place in 2018, and have lived primarily in Kuala Lumpur since. Kevin and Elaine have become dear friends, as they are to all guests who stay here, and over time this builds quite a community of people. the location is near everything, including many vegetarian restaurants, organic grocery stores, many convenience stores, and a quick grab to malls and supermarkets. This combination makes it a great starting location for commencing your life in Kuala Lumpur, like I have done over the years.

Kevin & Elaine’s place has been a blessing to find. As a vegan myself, they were able to recommend me plenty of restaurants nearby (15 minute walking distance) as well as even eat out with me a few times. They are quick to resolve anything you find, and are very friendly. The place is also great for working. The internet is as advertised, so fast and unlimited. Looking forward to spending another month here!

The Hatchery Place is just a lot more than an airbnb or a place to stay/work. It's the vision and passion of two local enterpreneurs that has shaped into, amongst others, a community of like-minded people and a space to pursue projects. At the moment of this writing I've been living here for 4 months and I've become really good friends with many community members. As a solo traveler/digital nomad, this place has provided me with the community I was hoping to find. I was prepared to stay only for a couple weeks if I didn't like it but turns out I did like it (I am planning to stay 2-4 more months).

The space is a fully functional house, the kitchen is simple and small but it does the job, I cook most of the days simple yummy stuff.

The Hatchery Place is a great place if you’re looking to stay somewhere where you want to feel homely and at the same time get some work done. We stayed there for a week and loved it. There’s a common working area with good lighting, the wifi is very fast, there’s also a kitchen area where you can cook simple meals which is great if, as me, you like preparing your own food and miss it while traveling. There’s also a washing machine that is available for use. The water pressure in the shower is good and the bed is very comfortable. The place is very chilled, the area is nice as there are restaurants and shops not far. Kevin and Elaine were very welcoming. The first night we all went for dinner at a very tasty veg Chinese restaurant. I would definitely recommend staying here.

I had the pleasure of staying at The Hatchery Place from October 2019 till September 2020. It was my very first coliving space. Prior to this lengthy stay, I rented regular rooms via Booking or Airbnb and worked from coworking spaces or cafes. The Hatchery Place was an excellent introduction to the new way of life, where I shared a house with fellow digital nomads from Malaysia, Vietnam, Australia, France, Zimbabwe, or the USA.

If you enjoy the company of artistic-driven personalities and you’re looking for a place that’s well connected but away from the city center I totally recommend The Hatchery Place.

I spent a month with Kevin and Elaine at The Hatchery Place and absolutely loved the set up they have which is perfect for entrepreneurs and makers. Kevin and Elaine themselves are extremely friendly and will always make you feel welcome. The room was exactly as shown in the pictures and facilities have everything you need. The neighbourhood itself is quiet but there are plenty of restaurants, shops and cafes just ten minutes walk away. Perfect for when you need a change of scenery. The LRT which takes you into the CBD is about 15 minutes walk away or if you don’t want to walk there is a free bus.

As for the workspace, it had reliable wifi throughout my whole stay and plenty of different areas to work from including a fantastic standing desk. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it easy to get things done and there’s normally someone else around during business hours to share stories and ideas with.

If you’re looking to meet some great people, and get things done in a relaxed environment whilst in KL for a couple of weeks then this is the perfect spot!
