Extremely helpful staff. The best recommendations I got during all my travel time in Malesia were from the receptionist in the hostel. Excursions, money exchange with the better course, transportation, she new everything. When I prised her, she answered: "It is just my job and I like it". Super attitude. She even had good recommendations for diving in Sepadan (it is another city!). I admire professionals like that! In the hostel is relaxed and chill wibe, clean, smart murals on walls. Thank you for the best stay!

The location is great. Right in the middle of all the action (although the city is weirdly spread and doesn't have just one center). It's reasonably clean (as far as hostels go) There were enough bathrooms & toilets, so we didn't have to wait our turn (although the hostel didn't feel at its capacity and it was the low season). The simple breakfast is actually nice. You might end up having a second breakfast, but it's a good start of the day.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They have the best, cheapest information about tours in the area like the apes or the bears. Good vibe inside the building and shared spaces. Location was perfect: very close to the water and in the center with groceries and restaurants nearby. Free water refill is available, also the same with coffee and tea. Free breakfast is also nice, but we didn't try that one because of the time (max until 09:30) :P

The place had a features cool wall art from past guests. The common area is comfy, and the seaview rooftop offers stunning views. The staff are friendly and very helpful. They offer great tour packages, including trips to the Kinabatangan River and Turtle Island. They also helped me with directions for public and long-distance buses.Breakfast is included, and coffee, tea, and water are available 24/7 which was a great convenience.
