Best place in town with the nicest and most smily and helpfull staff. Clean rooms, hot shower, free internet and free breakfast - cheap!

I can only recommend this hostel to anybody! Rooms are clean, service is excellent and staff very friendly, helpful and provides you with all of the information you will need for your trips eg to the 5 islands or Mt. Kinabalu!
When I was there I had a lot of fun every minute I spent in the hostel.
Besides it is just a five minutes walk to the market, the sea and most attractions in town.

i like this place very much,the location is strategic and they are friendly and with smiling face when attend guest,expecially Hody and Nizam!
i feel happy and enjoy with the trip planning by them.whatever question i ask they will find out the answer for ur,look professional!

Things to be improve

iii. Toilets have to be ckean at all times.
