Facilities: The toilets and showers are communal, mixed-gender, but there is a dedicated women's restroom. Cleanliness: Someone cleans thoroughly every day. Environment: It's located behind Gaya Street, about a five to six-minute walk to get there. The rooms have ventilation and air conditioning, while the common areas have fans and AC. There's also free cold and hot water, a refrigerator, and simple bread available for breakfast. Service: Check-in times are quite strict; Ctrip states 2:30 PM, but it's actually 3:00 PM.

The location is really good, right on Gaya Street. The hygiene is also pretty decent. Just a heads-up, keep a close eye on your wallet—my 100 MYR got stolen. Overall, it's still good. There are lots of local eateries nearby.

The location is excellent, close to the beach and convenient for Gaya Street, with plenty of food and drink options nearby. However, the layout is a bit impractical; the toilet is too far from the 4-person room. Having to cross a public area to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night is really inconvenient. Everything else was acceptable.

Great location located at the second floor of shop houses. Plenty choices of restaurants around. Small common area with a big table and large window overlooking green scenery opposite the road.

Stayed here with friends, it's very close to Jonker Street, with lots of restaurants nearby, making it convenient for sightseeing. The landlady was very nice and helped us resolve issues, and the front desk lady was also great. 👍🏻

There's a supermarket downstairs, along with a fruit store that offers great value and delicious produce! A large mall nearby was running promotions at the time, and it's close to the coast, so you can walk to several interconnected night markets with plenty of affordable food options! I heard you could go snorkeling by boat, but I didn't get to do it!

The hostel was very clean, and the service was excellent. They even helped us book our Mount Kinabalu tour, which included a private car transfer and a professional guide. Everything went incredibly smoothly. Highly recommended! For anyone planning a trip to Mount Kinabalu, this is an excellent choice!

This was our first time staying at a hostel, and it truly exceeded my friends' and my expectations. It was incredibly clean and hygienic. As we were a group of four, we were directly assigned a quadruple room, which felt just like being back in our college dorm days. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming; we could truly feel their kindness and warmth. The location was also very convenient, being close to the pier, Gaya Street, and shopping malls. Overall, it was a truly memorable and unique stay!

The booking page provided clear and detailed instructions. Its prime location, right next to Gaya Street, made it incredibly convenient to explore. There were plenty of delicious food options nearby. I particularly enjoyed the common areas. The place was clean, and the facilities were comprehensive. I had an excellent two-day stay and would definitely return.

Absolutely loved it! It was spotlessly clean, very private, and comfortable. The lady at the front desk was incredibly kind.
