I would definitely come back! Absolutely amazing experience staying here! Auntie takes care of everyone with great care and attention to detail. They will also assist you in planning your time in kk or the surrounding sabah area with activities to do, places to go and sights to see which i found to be very helpful. The homemade breakfast was great, especially the pancakes. I felt so at home and loved the social atmosphere of the hostel.

The location is very strategic because you can walk around the city, you can cook yourself with the kitchen and food storage provided. This place is known to backpackers because it is very cheap. The person in charge is also very nice. Love the place, its comfortable and homey but the only downside is that it is on the third floor and you might be confused where it is exactly because they just put a small banner on top. The good news is everything else. They give you key access and it is quite secure because the door is locked downstairs and upstairs and a room door, they have fast wifi access because i actually watch a few movies.

非常讚! 唯一小小缺點是沒有電梯,以及公共空間沒有冷氣。 但是瑕不掩瑜,很對得起這個價錢了!服務跟早餐比我朋友住的星級酒店還好

I stayed here for one night from september 4th to 5th, 2020. Had a pleasant stay, the room was clean, and the counter ladies were very helpful and kind. Although the place is located in a rather old place, escape backpackers kk did a good job managing their accommodation area. They are located directly below the sports shop yonex. I really love the breakfast prepared by them, for such a low price, they still provide an amazing breakfast for you that is unbelievable, i didnt expect breakfast when i booked the place. They do have a public area where you can enjoy your meal, do your stuff while looking out onto the road and a shopping mall. Not to mention that there is a large shopping mall and many food places around the area that can be reached on foot. If you are more of a backpacker, you can even walk to the nearby market by the sea where you can buy tons of seafood.

Despite a few minor issues that could have been easily fixed, such as the broken air conditioner and water heater, i had a great time at the escape backpackers hostel. The good news, though, was that i met a lot of nice and friendly local friends and people from semenanjung. The place is spotless, the daily rental is extremely affordable, and the best part is that they prepare breakfast every day for you. It was like being at home! Thank you abe, mr. Rodzan, and the abang musician for making me feel at home!.

The location is perfect given everything. The location is very close. The philippine night market is very close, so we had a cheap and delicious dinner there every evening. Breakfast is included and different breakfast each morning. Coffee and tea are unlimited one morning we didnt have breakfast because everything had been eaten before 9 am. The dorms are clean. Curtains were nice and ac in the dorm room. Toilets and showers were also clean. Toilet paper was sometimes not available. Cute cats in the hostel though they destroyed my shoes from the shoe rack. Other guests had some trouble keeping quiet at night but i dont even know do the hostel have any rules about being quiet at night?

Lokasi dan harga bagus. Sarapan selalu berbeda dan berlimpah, serta teh dan kopi selalu tersedia. Pemiliknya sangat baik dan bermanfaat. Dia membantu Anda dalam segala hal. Dia memiliki banyak nasihat tentang tempat makan, cara berkeliling, dan hal-hal yang harus dilihat. Sangat bagus. Kami pasti akan kembali! Terima kasih banyak atas ketersediaan dan keramahtamahan Anda!

The staff is excellent and is run by locals who take excellent care of their guests. If you want to talk to someone on your own, simply wait in the hall and begin meeting people. If not, you can approach the counter and have a nice conversation with the staff. Additionally, they provide tourist information at reasonable prices compared to other travel agencies. Breakfast, in my opinion, is the best. It is a buffet that changes daily, so if you stay for more than two nights, you wont eat two slices of bread twice. Beds with courtains.

Sangat direkomendasikan jika Anda bepergian sendirian ke Kota Kinabalu. Lokasi pusat dengan akses yang baik. Staf adalah orang-orang yang sangat hangat. Saya senang mendapat sarapan gratis dan kopi sepuasnya dengan harga murah. AC di kamar berfungsi dengan baik. Tidak, itu terlalu efektif. Ruang umum luas dan bersih. Dari dua pancuran tersebut, saya khawatir hanya satu yang tekanan airnya lemah. Selain itu, dapat menimbulkan kebisingan jika sekelompok tamu menginap di sana. Sangat nyaman sehingga rencana 2 malam yang kami rencanakan menjadi 4 malam.

Tuan rumah yang sangat hangat, yang membuat Anda merasa seperti di rumah sendiri. Sarapan baru dimasak setiap hari dan disajikan hingga makan siang. Roti panggang dan kopi tersedia sepanjang hari dan hidangan disajikan untuk dicoba setiap hari. Tempat tidurnya juga bagus!

Harganya terjangkau, tapi di internet terlihat bersih dan lokasinya bagus, jadi hari pertama saya menginap di sana. Susah banget menemukan lokasinya. (Ada sesuatu yang seukuran tas tangan menempel di dinding, Anda harus naik ke lantai 4 yang sempit dengan kardus. Semakin ramai di dalam, isi ayamnya banyak banget, sampai banyak yang menginjak. Haha. Fasilitas kamar mandinya luar biasa. Apa. Itu tidak keluar. Saya merasa perih. Jadi saya hanya mencuci muka dan menggosok gigi lalu tidur. Saya pernah ke backpacker di negara lain, tapi satu-satunya tempat yang tidak bisa saya rajut adalah Shuangshuang. Saya dari kelas kelas Joung-san biasa yang tinggal di Korua. Saya suka pergi ke tempat-tempat seperti penginapan pedesaan bersama keluarga saya, jadi saya pikir itu akan mudah. Ah. Cheonggyorusantatga. Sungguh. Lee-in. Saya pikir saya berada di provinsi Saya membayangkan ini.

I stayed here for a few nights. The staff is very friendly and really makes it feel like home away from home. The location is quite central and close to several markets and the jaesselton ferry terminal. Also not too far from kk central and the transport to renau. The dorms are basic but have air conditioning. Every bunk has a powerpoint, light and blind. The homemade breakfast is amazing and it was exciting to wake up and see what has been prepared. They even cater for vegetarians and vegans! Thank you!.

Clean rooms with nice city views. There are many food markets around. Good food breakfast. They organize activities to kundasang, mountain kinabalu, sukau, kinabatangan, and kota belud trip. All are interesting places to visit.
