I love NBC! it has the cheapest beer in town. Staff are extremely helpful and fun. Very close to food markets. Would recomend to everyone coming to KK to stay here!

A really nice hostel, the breakfast is good and they even have Milo. The free internet is a real bonus and you can enjoy whilst having a cheap beer. I booked my Mt Kinabalu trip through the hostel the day before I left and it all worked out perfectly.

Stayed here for 1 night, and it was OK... Not the cleanest bathrooms, the showers have no locks or fixtures for the shower heads but overall it did the job and was in a good location.

I was in the room next to the TV so it was very noisy and there were people (I think they were staff) in and out all night which didn\'t help.

The only problem that i had with this place is that the doors didn\'t lock. Everyone is provided with a locker for valuables but bags, clothes etc have to be left in rooms which cannot be locked. Other than that it was a really nice hostel with a lounge area, free internet and breakfast every morning. Close to the ferry and the main town.
