Our stay was excellent. The hostel staff was very friendly and they had an incredible security system. They've also been very helpful about arranging tours for us - even now when we're on the other side of Sabah. The only drawback was the alley behind the hostel smelled a little and would occasionally waft into the room at night. But once the windows were closed, the smell went away.

Stayed here for over 1 week. Pretty nice place. The staff is very helpful. You have plenty of movies to watch. Everything is in walking distance, e.g. malls, jetty, market. If you come to KK, stay here, you also meet a lot of cool people!

the location was good but its quite far from places of interest such as CP sabah, warisan square and others. I will appreciate if the management could provide toilet kit. Thank You,

Great location with basic dorm beds. Free breakfast and internet fantastic as were the staff and clean bathrooms. Would recommend to anyone heading this way as it has bit more of a homely feel than other places.

A good place to stay in KK - once the staff realise you've booked a bed (a little mis-hap on their behalf!). For 20RM a night it more than suffices...

This hostel is pretty nice, it has a nice common room with a big breakfast table and some balconies so you can talk and meet people. the bed in the dorms are pretty noisy, that was annoying. the location is good, it's in the center. and the staff helped me very well, although they switched me to different rooms every night.
