I stayed here on two separate occasions within in the same week. My room was relatively cheap, they gave me a discount when I told them I was going to stay for a week. I had to break my trip up between climbing Mt. Kinabalu. The bedding didn't seem to be clean when I checked in both times, there was... More

Warnings from other reviewers about bed bugs proved to be true! Stayed 2 nights and bed bugs feasted on us to their hearts content. Room was dirty and staff were indifferent and lacked initiative. It seems like they don't really clean the rooms after previous guests have left!!! I had asked to see the supposedly clean room before checking in... More

There are signs all over the hostel warning the guests about bed bugs, however they are doing nothing to counteract the problem. I stayed here for 3 days before climbing mount kinabalu, just to realize I had contracted LICE from the hostel. When we went back to inform them, they acted like there was a language barrier that had not... More

I was walking to my room and there were signs everywhere asking us to inform the hotel if we see any bedbugs. When I got to my room, the hallway was FILLED with old mattresses. These mattresses were covered with... More

There are notices up re bedbugs but with one 1 sheet for the bed that does not even fit I do not see the owners making an effort to keep this under control. The location is very central but unless you ask for a back room you will be awake with loud music all night. Be very careful when making... More
