Located in Kota Kinabalu, 1.7 km from Filipino Market Sabah, Vibrant Hostel provides air-conditioned rooms and a shared lounge.

+ Very friendly staff. They changed our room because we had a neighbour who snored extremely loud. Good location for airport transfer stay. Cheap as chips. Quite modern. Good wifi. - Very thin walls, could hear everything - earplugs is a must Showers were good, but toilets dont have enough privacy because they are separated from common areas by just plastic accordion doors and I could literally hear people peeing to my room. Only hot water refill available. Very musty rooms with no ventilation. Hostel itself is relatively clean, but very dirty hallways leading to the hostel.

Situated in Kota Kinabalu and within 400 metres of Filipino Market Sabah, Space Cap Hotel has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi.

The capsule was not very comfortable, thin mattress and pillow. There also wasn’t a locker for my capsule, so I had to put my big bag in the room. Which also got wet due to a leaking airco. There were only two showers for men. Fortunately I didn’t had to wait for them, but it still feels as too little. The staff was friendly and always greeted me with a smile. Although when paying, she was not planning to give back my change. This could be by mistake, but it looked on purpose. The location is good, close by the waterfront and a big shopping mall.

Capsule Inn is located in Kota Kinabalu, 4.7 km from North Borneo Railway and 6.4 km from Likas City Mosque.

Nobody of the personell cared for the customers. In the morning there was a couple waiting for their room keys. They booked the night before and informed hostel to arrive the following morning. They still had to wait until this day check in time.... So they paid a night for not getting their keys.

Located in Kota Kinabalu, 400 metres from Filipino Market Sabah, Step-In Lodge Sdn Bhd provides air-conditioned rooms and a shared lounge.

Calm good place near Night Food Market and few grocery stores. Clean. Big room. Nice lobby and breakfasts but rather modest. A/C in my room had no remote control and I could not raise temperature at all, but when off it became hot in the room.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
