Signel Hostel Reviews

Cheap with pleasant stay. Good location and easy to find near Jalan Sinsuran Kota Kinabalu. A lot of eateries nearby as well as Sinsuran night market and Centre Point Mal

It was great! I stayed in a dormitory. There were curtains for privacy, so I could have my own space.

Clean and neat, super cozyyy dorm

It's within walking distance to all the fun things in KK, the tourist office, the town centre, the famous foodie street Gaya, the ferry pier, the night food market, the fruit and vegetable day market, the exotic fish market. And most importantly, the minibus station for the next destination. Norica, the lady staff at Signel hostel was really one of the most helpful person I have ever met. Her English is excellent and her calm explanations and information were really useful for a traveller. She helped me connect to my next destination. The hostel also has a place for drying a small amount of laundry if that was needed.

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.

My stay has been so perfect. From the receptionists’ hospitality to the cleanliness. Everything is put into order and they ensure guests’ safety. I loved it!

I arrived in KK after a 10 hour bus ride and the place couldn’t be better. Big and comfy bed, clean showers, coffee station with free water, balcony. They allowed me to leave my stuff there for free until I returned from a week long trip. I recommend staying at this hostel

Not really a traditional hostel. There are almost no common area and the rooms are too small. No lockers for everyone when I got there

When I reached at 2am very late since my flight was delayed and this time the staff woke up fast open the door for me n arrange for the room . Excellent job 💪👍👍

Lover the environment

Comfort n very clean

The bed linen is clean, the hostel itself is clean, the staff is friendly. There is not enough space in the common areas and it would be good to add another shelf and hangers near the beds.

Absolutely perfect! Only down side I’m sweating inside the capsule 🥵. Need to have a better air conditioning

Overall, a good budget option! With an excellent location.
