This place is a joke!
By Errol Neo, 11/5/09
First of all, the free airport pick-up is a LIE!! We confirmed with the staff about the pick-up a few days before we arrived but when we arrived, nothing was there. So we called them and they told us that their pick-up van was ACCIDENTALLY unavailable, simply because they used it for other tours on the same day. So we needed to get a taxi to get to their place. When we arrived, they apologised and promised that they would compensate by bringing us from the centre of town to the airport on our last day in KK. Again, we confirmed the time with them the night before but guess what, nothing showed up 2 hours before our flight. I called them and they just indifferently told me that the driver was not around. When I questioned their service and attitude, they just dropped the call before I finished my sentence. I still get irritated thinking about this experience. After all, nothing is worth at this place. Despite the horrendous service, the location is bad, their tours were much more expensive than other agencies, and they didn't give us the requested room type. I'll never ever recommend this to anyone, NEVER!!

A real backpackers
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/5/06
A real backpackers with an enormusly friendly and helpful staff. They picked us up at the airport, they have shuttle to the town centre and back from there, provided us with a map, kept our baggage for some days and all for free. They offer really good trips and their taxi is much cheaper than normal. Recommandable is also their pub in town. We were mor then happy with the backpackers - perfect ! Regards Judith Böhm

Stay away.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/20/06
This place should be avoided at all costs. It promotes itself as central... but central to what? Its miles from any real amenities, miles from hustle and bustle, and in fact the neighbouring buildings are tyre shops. There are no windows in the rooms, so beware. The sheets were badly stained too. The management too are unsympathetic if you want to change accomodation due to the fanciful description of the accomodation and location. There is far better accomodation closer to the real centre of Kota Kinabalu that are a credit to themselves, for the same price. So think long and hard before staying here.
