So far, in the whole Borneo experience l this hostel with this room was the best. The staff is friendly, the breakfast is super simple but good and more then enough. Its clean and stylish :) The room is really tiny, I like it because they also made it really cosy and efficient. Its also near the beautiful sunset of KK and the night market.

Although it is located a little bit away from the city center, the area has plenty of shops, restaurants, and grocery stores nearby. For us as a big family, the most important thing was that the place is spacious, very clean, and furnished with modern furniture. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone traveling with family.

Lovely property! Really comfortable beds and great amenities in the room. The decor is lovely. Nice big bath tub and shower. Two pools, a gym and a massive open space with benches and hammocks to enjoy. Very clean. Love the fridge which has free soft drinks and water for guests. Everything you need is available. The staff are really friendly and helpful and are always available by WhatsApp. Perfect location too in the Imago mall where there are tons of nice restaurants and lots of shops. Quiet and peaceful once inside. I’ve stayed in many hotels in Kota Kinabalu and this is by far the best!

Very good location of the hotel, with easy access all over the city. The room was spacious and very clean. Loved the fact that there was a special make-up mirror in the bathroom! :) The star of my staying was the breakfast! it was the best breakfast i had during my vacation in Borneo! Also the staff very, very kind! i received some very useful tips about things to do around and the best place to watch the sunset... and indeed i witnessed one the best sunsets in my life!

A very big space with all amenities for a longer term stay, such as washing machine, big kitchen, good air conditioning, couches, storage shelves, nice bathroom. Also, a marvelous infinity pool and sunset balcony. Very good security too, and quiet despite being close to the airport. All very good value for money. Our favorite accommodation so far whilst traveling Malaysia.

We picked this hotel because we landed very late and needed a place to stay for 1 night before being picked up by our driver early in the next morning and go on a trip. It was perfect for a temporary accommodation close to the airport. It's also good if you are on a short business trip. I would not choose this hotel for a longer stay, or for holidays.
