Space Cap Hotel
4.7/546 Reviews
Kota Kinabalu City Center
Decided to try this capsule since I was travelling alone + had great experience staying capsule hotels throughout Japan. Good location, rather central, Starbucks & convenience store just downstairs. Paid an average of just S$11 per night, great value considering breakfast is included, though a simple one with bread/ jam spreads/ instant coffee. Washing machine free to use, but your clothes are never really dry since its cramped together with someone else’s wet laundry next morning. The capsules themselves are made from cheap plastic, squeaks loudly every time you move, absolutely nothing like those I stayed througouht Japan, plus the blue themed lights made it even harder to sleep. Wi-fi signal is pretty bad from within the capsule. Spent 3 nights here before moving to the newly built 5-star Marriott across the street.

the room is okay for the price.. but the heater in the bathroom is broken, the heater used to make hot water is also broken.. when I come to the counter it will be checked.. even when I woke up, there was still no check.. There is no heater to heat the water to drink because everything is broken.. I have to take a cold shower and drink cold water..😔
Jiran Hostel Kota Kinabalu

I really like this youth hostel. It has just opened. The hardware and facilities are all new. The transportation is very convenient. It is very close to the pier and shopping malls. It can be reached in a few minutes on foot. The staff service is also very good. I stayed here for several days. , very comfortable, will go again next time!
