It's a budget hotel, so you get what you pay for. We stayed in a windowless double with private bathroom for 60MR. Very well located. The city bus stop is a 3 min walk. There are food and bars nearby. The room was relatively clean- certainly clean linen, floor and bathroom. Sure the rooms are a little run down- but... More

I liked this place. easy to find and close to everyting. its not the most fancy place i have been staying at, but in some way i feel really comfortable here. some bad things about this place is for exampel that you need to pay for the blankets and towels, but a very simple breakfast and lockers are included.

I stayed with my family at this place 5 years ago. We simply loved it. Very clean and nice staff. Especially we liked the "lobby" with the cats and the breakfast with the Kaya spread. So it was a big disappointment when we dropped in this time. Almost everything changed to worse. Elly was the only exception, she was nice... More

Found this place quite by accident while unexpectedly stuck in KK for one nite. Security gate with a camera up front was locked and only unlocked by the reception two flights of stairs up. As I didn't want to stay in a dorm after having been in a long rainy trip down from Kota Kinabalu, I asked for and got... More

the lady giving advice here, Betty, was wonderful and friendly. Full of knowledge and real help not just pushing you onto tours. The place was generally unclean and the lodge staff were lazy. the staff responsible for providing service just didn't. You have to ask for clean sheets, towels and don't bother with floor cleaner, bleach or disinfectant buy a... More

We stayed here on our World Challenge trip. It is a nice, simple place to stay. The bathrooms and rooms are moderately clean but we didn't really mind as we never spent a lot of time in our rooms. The communal lounge is a nice place to hang out. We talked a lot down there and it had a nice... More

The accommodation was part of our tour itinerary and there's no way to transfer to another lodge. Location is good but the service and rooms were not. I got a chance to look inside the other rooms and all were the same -- dirty. The bed sheets and linens are all gray and look really unclean. Well, A/C is ok... More

Three things I liked about this hostel: the location, affordability and free wi-fi access. Aside from those I can honestly say that the service and rooms are bad. The staffs are not mindful of the guest nor helpful (save for one girl) and they usually spend their time in front of the telly. And don't be too expectant of the... More
