Fantastic service here! Very friendly. Great wifi, computers available as well. Simple breakfast served in the morning. Rooms were reasonable size and very clean. Bathrooms were clean and the showers had hot water. The location is perfect - right across the road from the food market (the owner will come with you to help you negotiate prices). They have a...

I honestly could go on and on about how much I love this hostel. My friends and I booked through Hostelworld for 2 nights. Our plans fell through and we ended up staying at the hostel for 2 more nights. The staff is beyond helpful. When we asked for advice about where to go or what to do they gave... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Lavender Lodge, one night before going to Mt. Kinabalu and one night after. We really appreciated the friendly, helpful staff and owners. They gave us excellent advice on how to get a taxi to Mt. Kinabalu and had city maps available plus other helpful brochures about site-seeing spots around Kota Kinabalu and Sabah. The... More

When we checked into the Lavender Lodge we were given a family room rather than our double room that we had booked so we had a lot of space and our room was cleaned everyday. The shared bathrooms were quite big and always clean. There was no view from the window but that is something we have gotten used to... More

We stayed in two other lodges in KK before we found Lavender, and Lavender was absolutely the best. Great location. Everything you need just outside the door. Very kind and helpful staff. Room service every day. Clean rooms. We could use the printer to print out texts, free wi fi etc. The only thing to consider is the noise from... More

My friends booked this place and I wanted to stay here so I decided to stay here too. The manager offered me a discount of 10R since the prices here were higher than most places. Turns out the room they put me in was moldy smelling (really bad), the wifi doesn't work well at all and is only available in... More
