Kota Kinabalu Hostellit

Plussat: Great location, comfy, nice common area and lovely staff

Miinukset: The breakfast that's included is just bread and jam, but better than nothing !

Plussat: Nice place, super close to the main street and the ferries. Right below the hostel there was a night market and a Chinese carnival celebration. The staff was kind enough and helped organize different excursions. The bed was comfortable, fellow guests were nice enough. Breakfast was basic but good.

Miinukset: Wi-fi was really slow and patchy: the city one outside the hostel worked way better. Door sometimes wouldn't lock properly and it took me several tries to open. Also, could not find a remote control to turn off the AC so slept with a t-shirt. Lastly, the snorkeling daytrip I organized with them didn't go well (their agent gave me a faulty mask, which was reimbursed, a faulty life jacket on the first trip and didn't show up to pick me from the last island): at least both their agent's staff and the hostel staff was nice and comprehensive enough. I suggest they look up to someone else for the TAR tours next time ( I was brought to the second island by yet another company)

Plussat: Good Location! Staffs are nice and helpful. The shower and the common area are good. Free coffee and tea are provided!

Plussat: The room was clean

Miinukset: The lamps are not bright enough.

Plussat: Nothing special

Miinukset: Staff n the way of the staff are really not welcoming..

Plussat: Friendly staffs, great location, a lot of promotion on eco tourism which i love. Lobby area was a great hang out place

Miinukset: Wow, the beds were squeaky. Slept on an upper bunk and I felt so sorry for every move i made i could be heard by the whole room, and felt by my lower bunk mate.

Plussat: My dorm mate having a friend

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Really nice staff Comfy and clean Good location

Miinukset: Poor lighting in the room. It seemed someone was always asleep in the dorm so the curtains were always closed which is a bit much during the day

Plussat: Good location, helpful staff, great value for money

Plussat: Retket sai buukattua hotellilla. Pienellä lisämaksulla sai ilmastoinnin, tuulettimen lisäksi. Auttavainen henkilökunta.

Plussat: Great hosts and wonderful location. Feel very relaxed and at home.

Miinukset: The heat in the fan rooms is rather overwhelming. Perhaps more or closer fans.

Plussat: Comfy bed , good location . Male member of staff was very helpful and friendly . Room had air con and ceiling fan and was spacious .

Miinukset: Didn’t feel like a hostel , more like you were intruding in someone’s home . The people who look after the place seem to live in the lounge / main reception area . The female didn’t speak and was constantly asleep on the sofa or laid on it using her mobile day and night which was very uncomfortable . They actually sleep in the main area so if you have an early start it’s embarrassing if you need to go make a coffee , breakfast , shower etc .

Plussat: convenient to restaurant

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Comfortable bed and complete facilities.

Miinukset: There were many bees flying over the bathroom when it gets dark.

Plussat: The restaurants, shopping malls and everything are just in walking distance from Borneo Backpackers. Love it! I totally enjoyed my breakfast on the rooftop.

Miinukset: Shower might need some improvement. Other than that, I'm happy

Plussat: Amazing location, super helpful staff, super clean, didn’t see one roach! Windows in the room was a huge plus.

Miinukset: Bees in the bathroom

Plussat: Very strategic location & value for money, nearby walking distance to all the famous tourist sight, the seaside, the market, the Gaya Street (weekend). No need Grab. Just walk around, everything you want is there. Very much recommended for those who first time come and wish to go round the city. The sitting room just make you feel very much at home.

Miinukset: Honestly, i could not spelt out anything which i don't like.

Plussat: Provide breakfast

Miinukset: Please make sure

Plussat: Location Staff Cleanliness

Miinukset: Occasional street noise Not a big problem Just ask for quiet room

Plussat: Convenient location

Miinukset: Staff inefficent. Blanket & pillow not comfortable. Bathroom fixture very bad! Need urgent fixing! Door lock missing. Shower head need to be change. Towel railing too need to be fix. Overall unsatisfactory!!

Plussat: I like the location and the roim is comfirtable

Miinukset: All is't ok

Plussat: Friendly staff, clean, location in the city center

Miinukset: You have to wake up someone every time you want to come in after 12

Plussat: Location at town centre

Miinukset: Was not notified that hotel was middle of night market every night and have to shift car everyday to locations apart from hotel front and traffic jam was heavy at town center. No lifts at hotel and no fans available. Hotel room was hot and humid, shower water was small and the water leaked with shower pipe damaged. Toilet flush was also problematic as the flushing mechanism was damaged also. No daily towel change.
