Good location. Friendly staff.

Great location. Very helpful staff. I stayed in a double room. The room was okay. The location is great. Close to restaurants and night market. Breakfast was not very good but you get what you pay for. I enjoyed the stay because the staff were friendly. You have to go upstairs to get to the reception.Then further up to your room.

Clean amazing hostel

Brilliant hostel in a good location. We stayed in the double room with fan, and we found that the fan was enough to keep us cool. The shared bathrooms are really clean and on every floor, the shower is hot and powerful which is a nice treat for us when budget backpacking! Staff at the hostel are really friendly, we booked a couple of trips with them and they all went well.

街の中心部近くの便利なホテル

エアポートからのバスは近くのホライズンホテル前まで５リンギットです。ホテルの入り口が表示が小さく細いので分かりにくいかも。２階が受付になります。 WiFiはストレスなく繋がります。街内は徒歩圏で便利なロケーションです。部屋は綺麗に清掃され気持ちいいです。ベッドのシーツはリクエストしないと取り換えがないようです。

居心地の良いホステル

チャイナタウンの中にある感じのホステルで、周りにたくさんのレストラン、ファーストフード、コンビニがある。静かでロビーにたくさんのバックパッカーが集まりネットサーフィンをしている。朝食も付いていて有り難い限りだ。

Great hostel fair price

Really nice hostel with lovely staff. Room was nice & a good size. Good AC. Wifi even worked in the room even though that was not promised. Booked a really good tour to Kinabalu Park. Cheap beers even cheaper than the shop. Great location close to everything. Breakfast is great. Free water & use of fridge. Definitely recommended

Basic hostel with friendly staff

Everything is really clean and tidy. Staff is very friendly and would love to help you. Rooms are really basic. Dont expect to much from breakfast. But compared to the price everything is great.

You get what you pay for - cheap and clean

For the price, it was a good place to stay with the free breakfast of toast, one hard boiled egg, hotdogs, cake, instant noodles and free flow of tea and coffee! The room i was in was small for 4 persons, and was more like a store room, with two windows opening out to the common area, not to the outside. The larger dormitory rooms looked more spacious and airy. The shower was a very small trickle, so much so it was faster for me to bathe from the lower tap. Better if there had been a pail, and a bucket bath would have been more satisfying. It was very noisy from the road traffic, and while there is a designated smoking area, the smoke tends to drift to the other common areas. So if you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, not a good place to stay.
