i went for a 5 days 4 nights trip to Kota Kinabalu in November 2011 with friends (all 6 of us). I made the reservation by phone and the staffs are very kind and polite. The dorm room was clean and comfortable, facing Jesselton Hotel. The location is very good. Love this place, basic but feel like at home.

Room Tip: Rooms facing main road has better aeration. Rooms at first floor (same floor with reception is more...

nice guesthouse with nice staff. They give good information and can arrange nice trips to Kinabatang, the mountain Kinabalu and more. It is in a central area with lots of shoppingmalls and other shops. Also dinner at the Fillipino fishmarket is a must!!! Enjoyed my stay very much!
