I loved how comfy the bed is. The showers and toilets were separated and kept clean by the care takers. Though I have to keep quite all the time as the dorm was also occupied with other travellers. I checked in quite late and stayed only for 6 hours and prior to my late arrival, as the reception is only available for 12 hours, the management sent me a message on Booking for self check-in which was so convenient and great especially for a late check-in. Thank you for the auntie who was there to help me out as well. Loved her vibe!
Place is situated at the heart of Gaya Street, right in front of Jesselton Hotel and quite close to Wisma Merdeka (which was my main purpose to go there). I'm grateful for the locker underneath. Got to store my luggage inside safely, whilst I roam around the street.

Cheap stay at a good location with several points of interest at walking distance. Only about 4 or 5 mins drive to Imago. Beds were comfortable, place was clean, and there's a pool!
Modern furnishing and each pod feels very private which is nice. The area immediately outside the hostel doesn’t feel like the most inviting but is perfectly safe, and probably quite insightful. Very central (although not sure that really makes a difference- not huge amounts to do in the city)
Amazing culture, stunning sunsets from the hostel panorama window and very clean! Definitely one of the very best hostels I’ve been in so far. Special thanks to Jenny of the hostel staff for integrating new people into the amazing social culture!
Great location, great food, warm personnel and comfy and clean room. Couldn't have wished for more for that price, we stayed at the dormitory.
Great location, clean, very fast communication, bathroom is on a balcony and it was really great experience. We enjoyed the stay there. Cheap and good. Can recommend it.
Great location 5 min walk from orangutans and sunbears,, nice swimming pool, good that breakfast is included and you can buy all meals at the resort because its the only option for food really. Fine budget option.
The place was in a great location, near night markets and lots of coffee shops and restaurants for during the day. The staff were really helpful, leaving keys in a safe box for us to check in in the early hours. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed - great value for money and would recommend a stay here in KK!
