"I do not recommend this hotel. We stayed here for 8 days and 7 nights, and we had to argue with the staff just to change our room once. The main reasons we demanded a change were; the air conditioner wasn’t cooling at all, it was very noisy and it leaked so badly that it felt like it was raining right onto my bed, which was placed too close to the wall. To make matters worse, the bathroom ventilation was terrible; it smelled awful, like trash, mice, and cockroaches, which made me feel sick. The entire bedroom also smelled heavily of stale cigarette smoke. On top of that, the bathroom sink was clogged and drained incredibly slowly. It was a smelly, noisy, and leaky nightmare. If I hadn’t already prepaid for the entire 8-night stay, I would have checked out and left immediately. The only reason this hotel is popular is its prime location in the city centre. However, if you have your own transportation, there is no need to stay here at all."

"The room was spacious enough for my 8 year old and me, love the minimalist design and layout. Iron, hairdryer, heater, water bottles, WIFI, mini smart TV (though YouTube was sometimes disconnected) and basic toiletries were provided. Bedding was quite comfy. However, I noticed that the inside of the air conditioner was a bit moldy and the bathroom wall also. I think the hotel should do some maintenance/inspection on the smudgy iron board cloth and rusty bathroom door. It was just a small matter, we still enjoyed our stay (the price justified our experience). Plus the reception was fast and friendly too. ❤️ Overall personal rating is 8.5/10. Recommended, we'll stay again here if we wanted to do an all out Imago-shopping. 😚😂"

"One of the coziest place to stay in Kota Kinabalu , though it lacks basic shower stuff so be sure to bring your own next time and has a deposit of 100 ringgit. It was cheap nevertheless and location is really quiet even though its basically at the heart of the city and the hotel is litteraly next to a roundabout. The location is quiet concerning said the locals , but I enjoyed my stay here very much , no any kind of interruption whatsoever , room feels so premium-ish ,clean and cozy for my 1 night stay even tho its a bit smaller in size. The closest mall is Suria Sabah and able is to walk by foot going there and the airport KKIA is around 11 minutes or so to get there by a cab. Nice hotel to stay in if you are a solo traveller and need some real good day off or vacation."

"Average Positive side: Near to shops Nice staff Spacious room Got hair dryer Mineral water and coffee sachets are provided Electric jug is there Negative side: No WiFi Only 1 TV channel can be watched Bathroom is a bit dirty No water tap near the toilet bowl so you have to wash inside the shower using the water from the shower. There's a pail for you to collect water from the shower. The shower is very cold, no heater at all. The water at the sink is warmer. So I used it for bathing. The water inside the toilet bowl is brownish and quite dirty (according to the staff, it is coming from the underground that is why it's dirty)"

One of the best solution for quit hotel outside of city if you have or rent car. The room is huge, all is new and very comfortable. The stuff is great and friendly. Also there is restaurant inside and supermarket near. Laundry machines 10 meters near hotel. Highly recommend to stay for visiting many Sabah places - 1 hour for mount Kinabalu, 1 hour Kota Marudu, 30 min to river cruises, from 15 min Kota Belud, and 1 hour for KK if you want go there (don’t know for what). Definitely great hotel for families or couples with romantic view and the best price 👍

Had such a pleasant family trip! The view, ambience, facilities, and service were all beyond awesome. Bonus: free breakfast for every room. A huge plus is that the place has its own restaurant, so we didn’t have to head out in the dark for dinner. I tried the nasi goreng tuhau and it was sedap! Prices are really affordable too. I know exactly where I’ll be staying next time I’m in Kundasang.

This hotel is suitable for an overnight stay if you're catching an early flight after a Kinabatangan River cruise. The room was a bit dark, but everything else was fine. It has a cabin-style vibe with a small garden and a tiny pool. As for breakfast, it's just like a standard budget hotel breakfast, so don't expect too much. The staff were very enthusiastic. The nearby Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC) is very close and worth a visit, and you can also book a night tour there. As for the Sun Bear Conservation Centre and the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, honestly, only go if you're really bored and have money to spare! Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) really misleads people; anyone who goes will regret it. Once you've been, you'll truly understand the quality of the zoos back home. The Sun Bear Centre just cages a few bears. The orangutan centre is no different: everyone sits in a glass enclosure watching a group of monkeys (not orangutans!) eat bananas and vegetables on an outdoor platform – basically watching them ”mukbang.” Then you watch a few orangutans ”mukbang” on another open-air platform. We couldn't bear to watch it. After seeing how wild animals live on the Kinabatangan River, these scenes were just unbearable.

The location is quite convenient, and there is ample free parking available. The outdoor environment is pleasant, well-maintained, and clean, making it a nice place to relax. There is also a BBQ pit provided, although guests need to bring their own utensils and ingredients. One downside is that there is no refrigerator in the room. The bed makes some slight noise, but it is still acceptable for a short stay. The room also comes with a small balcony, which is great for enjoying the night view. Check-in and check-out are quick and hassle-free. An ironing board is available at the reception area, and a hairdryer can be borrowed upon request. Overall, considering the price, it offers very good value for money.

Semporna is an interesting place to visit, with several islands surrounded by coral reefs for snorkeling and diving, more beautiful than many other snorkeling spots worldwide. Staying at this hostel instead of moving to an island resort is a good way to budget. And not only that, the fish market in Semporna is the most incredible one I have seen, seafood like lobsters, large shrimps, crabs so fresh, not even the one at Kota Kinabalu can be compared good as it was too. The DZ hostel lady staff was very helpful and can arrange for island trips at a reasonable price. The dorms are separated into boys and girls, something I truly appreciate. The bathrooms faced the afternoon sun, so they were dried easily and kept clean. Laundry by machine was offered free, a super plus for swimmers. The hostel also offered local Malay snack food for breakfast, and coffee or tea were always available. To be honest, it's a good budget place to stay while splurging on the island tours. It's a bit sad that no cooking is allowed here, even though there was a kitchen. Sad because the seafood mentioned above was so available. The facade of the building is nothing to boast about, and like many places, the external (streets, pavement, eyc) can be a mess. That should not deter visiting this part of the world mainly because the sea in this area is astoundingly replenished with marine life.
