Très bien pour quelques nuits sur Semporna, super communication avec le gérant qui peut propose des activités, des transferts pour aller et venir, literie SDB espace commun OK, tout y est!

Pas grand chose, le quartier est pas terrible mais c’est plus dû à la ville qu’à l’hostel

"Very average stay. Okay for a cheap night."

4.0

In center of town. Had aircon in the room.

Sheets and towels were really stained, free breakfast was stale bread and the staff weren’t great. The plug in our room was also faulty.

"Zentral gelegenes Hostel."

6.0

Für einen Zwischenstopp in Semporna liegt das Hostel ideal. Nicht weit von der Busstation und in Gehdistanz zum Hafen.
