Cosy vibes & friendly staff
It has been a short stay, but I loved it.
You feel well there, and the super friendly staff and vibe account a lot for it.
I enjoyed meeting the staff and sharing stories of Borneo.
Lockers + Breakfast + Tea/Coffee + Storage room + Easy 24h check in/out.
I honestly recommend. Thank you Jesselton Cabin.

Exceeded my expectation!
You get what you paid for. Great for backpackers. Not for the picky travellers. Cheap, amazing local food everywhere! The staff are accommodating, especially Ms. Kathy.

The staff was the best part, they were lovely. The hotel however was under some renovations and wasn't too nice or clean. The location was also really good. The other thing is that I booked online and it was called Jesselton cabin but when I got there it was the north Borneo cabin and so I searched for a very long time.
I just stayed one night, but the staff was very helpful in arranging my further tour.
I will defintly be back here, when I'm returning to KK

Pretty average
This hostel was ok. Nothing special but not bad. We had a double room on the first floor. It was a large room but pretty basic. The downside was you had to walk through the shared lounge and breakfast area to get to the shower and toilet. I would also say when we were there it was just guys staying and so my wife felt a little uncomfortable when they were all in the lounge and she needed to use the shower. It wasn't a particularly friendly hostel but we might have been unlucky. The wifi was a bit pitchy but ok, the toast for breakfast was pretty good, the staff were helpful if you asked specific questions and location was ok for getting around town. The shower was also pretty naff. It's not bad but when we returned to KK we chose to stay somewhere else.

Decent place
A great place suiting with price the charged.
Toilet and shower room is very clean.
I have toast and banana for breakfast! Nyummy!! Coffee was not so great, should provide a slight better taste.
Should inform/alert that the dorm is for sharing occupants - males and females in a the same dorm; was shocks at the moments but couldn't ask more as this is the only room available.
The so call air-cond room is not cold enough - should do maintenance for it. Good enough, I was in the right spot of the ceiling fan - not bad. The bed frame is a bit old, hence you can hear the sounds whenever you make a move/rolling side to side.
A good and friendly as well a helpful staff :)
