Outstanding hostel. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great location in KK city, convenient to travel around. However, reception is at level 1 and signboard is not big enough to attract attention. Other than that, all perfect.

一家四人到沙巴旅遊，我們選擇VIP ROOM，很喜歡這樣的住宿體驗 不僅床型特別，床墊和枕頭也非常舒適，空調很新很穩定很涼爽，讓我們五天四夜的自助旅遊，睡得好，玩得愉快。 飯店位置的四週有很多商場可逛，走路3-5分鐘就有好多知名的餐廳（富源，大茄來.双天.華興etc.） 最後要謝謝親切的櫃檯人員(中文也會通喔),我的孩子手機忘在grab車上，他們義不容辭的幫助我們聯絡，很快速的司機先生就幫忙將手機送回 最後一天在等待送我們到機場的司機先生遲到了，櫃檯人員也熱心的幫忙打電話確認，很貼心對待旅客。 真心推薦到沙巴旅遊，選擇b-bang capsule hotel~

Sorry to say that the walls were so paper-thin that the guy snoring next door kept me awake for hours. Apart from that it’s good value for money and great access to the park and kundasang
