The property is around 4.1 km from Sabah State Museum & Heritage Village, 5.6 km from North Borneo Railway and 8.2 km from Likas City Mosque. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. The family rooms had pretty much their own level and own bathrooms. Despite the hostel having other rooms, they were all in other levels so it was quiet. We ended up staying again when we came back to KK at the end of our trip. It was too good! The location was very convenient being next to the shopping centre. Perfect for buying travelling essentials, eating or just strolling.

I’ve been traveling for sometime, lived in different hostels and this is so far the best hostel I’ve ever been! It feels so homey with the kitchen, living room and dining tables, and place us quite accessible to everything (close to a nice mall.) Perfect for those who are into “chilling” an connect with people rather than immersing to crowd. It’s veryyyy cleannnnn too! Its well maintained by the owners. Squeaky clean! 💗 The most wonderful part of this stay is the people, especially the staff. Warm, helpful and nice. I will come back in KK for sure :)

Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. International Technology & Commercial Centre Penampang - ITCC is 11 km from the hostel and Atkinson Clock Tower is 1.3 km away. The location is smack in the middle of KK, walking distance from pretty much anywhere you could conceivably want to go. Capsules are nice, standard-issue but well maintained and as such serve their purpose. While capsule hostels usually don't really lend themselves to a sociable athmosphere, the included breakfast, large communal space and endlessly helpful staff created ample opportunity for socialising. Seriously, especially the owner will go through insane lengths to make sure you're having a great stay.

Everything. This is probably one of the best hostels, I’ve ever stayed in. It felt a bit like home. The staff were amazing. The hostel is central, clean, and comfy. Not to mention it’s a perfect place to meet other solo travellers.
Safe and secure location in a modern sprawling gated community. The view from our 13th floor windows was impressive. The apartment is adequate for a short stay, but lacks charm or comfort. Don’t be tempted to think the location is walking distance from Sandakan city centre though - it isn’t. You will need to use Grab to get to and from anywhere (with the possible exception of the English Teahouse). Grab cars are cheap, so the cost isn’t an issue, but it adds a layer to anything you might want to do.
Triple room was clean and comfortable with good AC. Food was tasty, and self-serve meant portion sizes was up to you so you won’t go hungry! Very friendly staff and river guides who were very attentive and keen that you saw as much wildlife as possible. I’d recommend bringing your own binoculars, but the groups are happy to share as well if you forget. Brilliant experience for those on a backpacker budget
Affordable luxury by budget traveller standards😊 The staff were exceptionally polite and friendly. Great location...walking distance to markets etc. Ask for a back or high room, some traffic noise at lower levels. Amazing included breakfast
Best hostel in Malaysia! Maybe even on my whole trip! Staff is nice and really helpful. Amazing view from the rooms and common area. Free self-service breakfast all day with different options. Free Water Refill, tea, coffee. Bathrooms were clean and with hot water.
very friendly staff and great location but very hard to find parking and the parking fee is not cheap.
Maxwell is a fabulous worker, we could not recommend him enough for his humor and tips! We loved the self serve laundry, first hotel I've been in that has one other than hostels. It's super cheap and easy!! Hotel was clean and super close to our favourite eateries and streets.
It is a just small hostel with a reasonable price and good service for backpackers or someone who travels on budget. The staffs are very friendly. Room is small and simple, but very clean. They also have a small cozy common area where you can watch Netflix for free at night or enjoy a beautiful sea view through a big window in early morning.
