    “Exceptional”

    Located near the Jester Wharf, about a 1-kilometer walk away, next to the Gaya Street Night Market, which only operates on Fridays and Saturdays. The night market is large and relatively long, with reasonable prices. It is 5.8 km from Tanjung Aru Beach. The beds are small but quite clean, with fewer females around. There are enough washrooms and squat toilets. The owner speaks Mandarin. No breakfast is provided.

    “The location is great, within walking distance to Jalan Gaya.”

    The beds are semi-enclosed with good privacy, featuring curtains and lockers with locks. The hygiene conditions are good, and there is a balcony for drying clothes. There is a refrigerator with drinking water and ice. The location is excellent, within walking distance to the pier and shopping mall. The famous Skybridge Durian Market and Filipino Market are nearby. The staff are very friendly, and I will choose to stay here again next time I visit Kota Kinabalu.

    “The cheapest price”

    The cheapest price, but comfortable. Not noisy. Clean. Close to the hot spot. In the city center of KK. Gaya Street is just a 3-minute walk away.

    “Good budget option”

    Right in the heart of the city. Many eateries around and nearby transportation access to the whole of Sabah. Comfortably furnished and kitchen is reasonably equiped - however no microwave or toaster. The staff is good. Do bring your own toiletries and toilet paper. For the price it is sufficiently habitable.
