My friends and I just got back from a trip to Kota Kinabalu. We stayed at Hamin Lodge for 3 nights and we loved it there. The staff (especially Maltini) were all very helpful and accommodating. We initially booked 2 queen rooms but they let us stay in 1 family room (we were 5) which meant less expense for us.... more

I chose this lodge based on the good reviews for 2 nights. Honestly, I wasn't impressed very much but I admit that the Budget Queen Room is excellent for the money I paid. Very very roomy and it comes with private bathroom. The location is also perfect. You can walk to various shopping malls,night market(but boring) and sunday market. If... more

This nice little lodge in Kota Kinabalu City center is a great place to stay for the budget traveller in Kota Kinabalu city.

My wife & I stayed at Hamin Lodge for 5 days in early september. We came about the Lodge by accident as we were staying in another budget hotel opposite of Hamin Lodge.

We made all our tour arrangements ourselves and Dave was very helpful with emails at the planning stage and very understanding of our numerous changes! We arranged all our airport transports through... more

We had booked one of their best rooms which had the ensuite shower and toilet, it looked like their advertisment, but we... more

We stayed there in May with American breakfast , all very poor, everything is dirty and towels not changed even after request as there were insufficient, breakfast was abysmal,if yanks eat two bits of dry bread as they ran out of butter, and one egg cooked in the microwave they have my sympathy. Bed (double) was very hard, as were... more

I booked this hotel through hostelworld.com. as I read very good reviews on it. My shock at the appearance of the lobby in its renovation stage was however later mitigated by the very friendly staff who were most helpful & understanding.. But the renovation was quickly done with minimal noise & disturbance & almost finished on the day we left!... more
