A hidden gem away from the city centre - lovely beaches mere minutes away. Great in-house facilities and a top-notch bunch running the place. Can't recommend it highly enough.

it's very near to the K.K.international airport, terninal 2. If you take flights with airasia, it's good to take a night here. However, it's quite far away from city center, where you can shop, drink, eat and take boats to islands. So, it's unconvinient in some extent staying in this house. Besides, there are bugs saw in the bed I slept. However, the people are very nice!

This place is great. it is just a little outside of town which is the only reason i didn't give them all excellents. they are close to the beach and the airport however and if you are only staying for a couple of days then it is perfect. they organize tours all over sabah (mt. kinabalu, rafting, diving, oragutans) the ultimate fribee is just two minutes walk away and everyone here is a player. couldn't get much better for us!

Great hostel. Very comfortable, clean. Staff were very friendly too and tried to help as much as they could. Its located super close to the airport, which is handy, but its quite far from downtown KK, and is a small hassle to get there.

We had a great time! Everyone in the staff is very helpful and freindly and the place was spacious, clean, and relaxed. it is a taxi ride or a decent walk away from downtown, but better than anywhere else for the beach - so i enjoyed the location. We would definitely stay there again!

Very nice little Beachhostel. Very friendly and helpful staff. They also help you to plan trip. I think it´s the only hostel in KK what is close to the beach. To have breakfast you can walk to Tanjung Aru Town and get a Snack and coffee, Its cheap. Or you bring your own stuff an cook in the kitchen. I recommend the hostel in any case..
