    Everything was great but room walls are lil thin so u can hear the sounds nearby. Its a problem if you are a light sleeper, else it doesnt matter

    The location is great. Its walking distance from night market and Jesselton Ferry point. The hotel has a groud floor restaurant which serves all kinds of food. We are vegetarians and they customised few dishes for us. The hotel also has a pantry so in case you want to prepare something or have tea or coffee you dont have to go to restuarant each time. The staf also helped us connect with different travel agents with whom we checked the prices and booked one we found was giving best rates. The room also has a bluetooth speaker, so u can connect it to your phone and listen to music ( Iloved this feauture, ofcourse at low volume)

    Best hostel I've ever stayed in east Malaysia. Located at the heart of the KK town. Easy access to several tourist spots and local food spots. Stayed 3 quality nights at mixed bed dorm and it gives me sweet dream everyday.

    These are very small things but there are a lot of mosquitos in the co-working space which makes it a little bit uncomfortable. Also the coffee machine was ‘under maintenance’ for the whole month I was there. And it would be really nice to have somewhere to air-dry your clothes and diving equipment etc because not everything can go into the dryer in the laundry room.

    Great location, very clean, helpful staff. I stayed for one month and had a really nice experience. There is a pantry area with a fridge and a microwave, free hot and cold water to refill your bottle. I would highly recommend it!

    The coffee machine at the shared workplace place supposed to be provided for hotel guests and stayed there for many days but never been fixed or provided us some alternative. Just a written sign there broken.

    The toilet and bathroom were amazing and very clean. AC was cool and comfortable to stay in the hot city.

    Shared bathroom was a bit...wet. Each shower had its own room; however, water often leaked out of the shower containment area and into the gangway where the sinks and walkway were. Caused a wet and mildew smell.

    Pros: -Extremely comfortable beds with blackout curtains and individual plugs and light at each bed with an internationally compatible socket -informative staff -free street parking from 4pm-8am -walking distance to restaurants/pharmacy and street market -24h laundry right next door (8RM wash, 6RM dry as of Feb24) -functional aircon -upgraded room to 6 bed mixed dorm with windows! -free water refills -fast and reliable WiFi with areas set up for coworking -small kitchen and fridge

    The restaurant opens a little late for coffee or breakfast. It opens at 11am

    Very clean, super affordable. Pretty close to downtown KK so it's pretty easy to walk to a lot of places. Good food in the restaurant. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

    The public space is warm and convenient for social (1st floor) or remote working by oneself (2nd floor). They also provide a taxi service after midnight so don't worry about the red-eye flight :)

    In many ways it was the best place we stayed during our travels in Malaysia - and we stayed in many different places from capsule hotels to resorts. The place seems to be quite new, it is very clean and the facilities are amazing. You can see that they thought about everything that might be useful for you or might make your stay more comfortable when they planned the place - and this is something that we did not experience many times in the country. A lot of small details that are very thoughtful. such as they give you a map about the city with cafés, restaurants, interesting places marked; there is a great and peaceful common area that is good for working and relaxing as well with bean bags, couches, desks, slightly separated areas, and a ton of power outlets; there is a common kitchen and laundry; there is a (very good!) restaurant and a bar; and they are ready to help you with organizing trips as well. The design of the whole place is also something to mention, vibrant colours and motives, great paintings, and again, the thoughtfulness: they used some ethnic patterns in the decoration, and there are some things they smartly reused. Great atmosphere, I can only reccoment this place!

    The place has nice decor, it is also conveniently situated. We really liked the rooftop bar where we had dinner once. Also, there is a laundry room that you can use, it's also very convenient. The staff is nice and helpful.

    Less of an atmosphere or social vibe than we expected. Not really a socialising/ hostel buzz. Door banging was an issue. Lots of chairs etc stacked in a fire exit which is a hazard (we discovered this thanks to a 2am fire alarm). Wet room, no separate shower. Kitchen area coffee machine broken.

    Very funky place. Great value for money. Nice restaurant that we ate in a lot. Rooftop bar (okay we didn't spend much time there!) Fantastic common room with WiFi and a pool table. An actual slide and a lovely, friendly cat. Kitchen area/fridge there. Clean rooms (not serviced but you can change the towels)
