"It was very nice. Kind and clean. Good price. Right next to Imago Mall. As soon as I got off the grab, I couldn't see it, so I showed the address to the guard who was sitting at the desk. He kindly drove up to the elevator and took me to the first floor of the reception. I was a little disappointed by the sound of the airplane. The other thing is so satisfying."

"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."

Perfect location & peaceful vibe all around. Lots of food selections including a supermarket nearby. The owner and staffs are helpful & nice! It's a pity I only stayed for a night as it was my last night there. I recommend this budget friendly place and will definitely go back if I have a chance to visit KK again!🤞"

GGuest UserNote: This store will ”deliberately” charge a tourist tax (this does not happen in other stores). If no evidence is found, it will charge a tourist tax (RM10 per day). Fortunately, I found the paid tax sent to me by the ordering website. Only after passing the tourist tax ”invoice” can you get back the excess tourist tax!

ААндрей КолпаковConvenient location, bright, cozy, with friendly staff. It was very helpful that the hostel sells adapters for Malaysian sockets. And next door to it, in the next door is the laundry room. From the minuses - very contrived shower, which I did not immediately understand how to use. And the air conditioner, which I wanted to break so it wouldn't turn me into ice.
