- Maki (8/5): 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.
- Hs (10/5): 한국분들!!!나 돈업다 하눈붐들 보say영!!young!!! - 정말 친근하다 근데 혼숙 열명 방은 추천하지 않아요 코를 너무 많이 골고 수압이 너무너무 약해요ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅜㅠ
근데 직원들이 너무 친절해서 모든게 잊혀집니다ㅠㅠㅠ여자분이라면 여성룸4명을 추천 드려요 근처 저렴한 식당도 나쁘지 않아요
- Oscar (10/5): Comfort - Stay was really good , everything was lovely and the staff were friendly . Perfectly located near to everything
- Momoko (10/5): - Staffs are very kind and there is breakfast!
The toilets and bathrooms are clean.
- Blair (8/5): - Staff were nice, showers and toilets clean. Breakfast left a little to be desired.
- Matthew (10/5): 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.
- Mickey (8/5): 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。
- Ki Yam (10/5): Budget Stay - The hostel is a budget stay with very convenient location. We chose an air-conditioned room and the environment is cozy. Light breakfast is provided.
- 21 (8/5): Good - Cheap price
Clean bed room
Nice staff
Free WiFi but top floor can’t connect with
Broken computer
Toilet too small but acceptable
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good location and nice staff - Very convenient location.
Staff are very nice and helpful. Recommend!
- マッキー (8/5): 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。
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Over all, sevice including staff is terrible. Not cozy, too hot room . Plus, not easy to find wifi signal.
- Catherine (8/5): 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
- Verified traveler (8/5): So cosy - High recommend. The private room are comfortable. Near at restaurants, bank and also grocery store.
- Wolter (8/5): 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.
- Hayley (8/5): - The environment was comfy. the housekeeping was awesome!
- Verified traveler (8/5): 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.
- Aoife (10/5): Lovely hostel - Lovely hostel and lovely staff, very helpful. Perfect place to stay in KK
