Hostels in Sabah, Malaysia

Stayed here with friends, it's very close to Jonker Street, with lots of restaurants nearby, making it convenient for sightseeing. The landlady was very nice and helped us resolve issues, and the front desk lady was also great. 👍🏻

This hostel is centrally located in Semporna town, surrounded by several large supermarkets and restaurants. It's a 5-minute walk to the mosque, an 8-minute walk to the Marine Visitor Centre, and a 7-minute walk to Watsons. The hostel reception offers island hopping day trips and carpooling services to Tawau Airport. The owner and staff are patient and helpful in answering travel inquiries. The owner speaks Chinese, so communication was easy, and they helped resolve many travel-related issues. A simple breakfast is provided; although it only includes fried noodles, bread, and coffee, it's enough to fill you up. You can't expect too much, considering it's a budget hostel. Cleanliness is a plus. Overall, the accommodation was quite good and worth recommending. 😊👍

Hotel location is good, right in front of the public jetty. Nearby have many seafood restaurants, pharmacy and supermarket, mamak stalls. Very convenient, all walking distance, don't really need a car to move around. Standard Room is ok, size -wise. However, the room is abit dirty as the floor is very sticky. Toilet is basic, quite run-down. You need to climb one flight of stairs, so make sure you nothing too heavy. Sometimes you'll have the smell / smoke from the seafood restaurant downstairs in the hallway. Very thin walls, can easily hear other guests' noise.

Not bad! Good for budget travelers. This was my first time staying in a hostel here. You get to meet all sorts of people – from different countries, nationalities, and backgrounds. If your English (or other foreign language) is good, communication is no problem! But don't expect too much; you get what you pay for.

hye. the lady at front counter very amazing, very friendly and helpful. the room is also tidy, just nice for 1-2 traveller. however, there are some amenities that are broken..the plug in the room is broken, so i can only use one plug. and the door at the ladies toilet also broken and very dangerous because it can. falll and hit others. i hope the technical and management team are aware of this. they need to check often. other than that im satisfied. especially the location since it is very very near to the entrance of imago mall.

Overall it is great budget stay with a clean bed and clean bathroom. The bag storage is considered good for backpacking only🤗 They have a comfy living room to wait for early check out, or you just can drop off your keys for seamlessly check out experience👍 Good value of money✅

My trip to Kota Kinabalu was unplanned and I bought my tickets only two days before flying. With such a last minute plan, I decided not to spend much on accommodation. I looked through a few hostel options online and this one stood out mainly because of its central location, so I went ahead and booked it. The hostel is very easy to locate. Just follow the signs and you will find it without any issue. It is on the first floor, which means you only need to go one level up from the ground. When I arrived, the staff were friendly and check in was fast. The same can be said about check out. Everything was simple. The bed was okay and quite standard for hostel stays. My bed was comfortable enough, had a window and came with a charging port which made things convenient. The bathroom was also fine. I only wish guests, especially ladies, would throw their hair into the dustbin instead of leaving it on the wall. It would make the bathroom nicer for everyone. All in all, it was a reasonable stay and matched what I expected for the price. Everything was generally good and okay.

The hotel is located in the center of Kota Kinabalu, very close to the Jessington Pier. There are various restaurants and convenience stores downstairs. The transportation is very convenient. The hotel owner will add VX to the guests in advance to guide self-check-in. The front desk is on the 2nd floor and the room is on the 3rd floor (the G building is our 1st floor, their 1st floor is our 2nd floor, otherwise the wrong door will be opened). The room is small, but very clean and tidy, with all the necessary facilities. Overall, the price/performance ratio is still very high.

The hotel facilities were excellent, the air conditioning worked very well, the showers were spotless, and there was even free breakfast and a washing machine. Moreover, the hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful; they even mailed my hat back after I left it at the hotel – I'm so incredibly grateful! I'll definitely stay at their hotel again next time I'm in Semporna!

Breakfast was okay, just a bit monotonous, not suitable for children, the accommodation is average, but very cozy, good location, convenient
