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. A French backpacker.

도미토리말고 룸 이용했는데 룸컨디션도 좋고 시설도 좋고 불편한게 없었음. 편안한 분위기. 아주 잘지냈음. 제셀턴포인트, 선데이마켓, 수리야사바 등 주변 인접지가 좋음. 완전 퍼펙트. 직원들도 매우 친절함. 다음에는 전 일정을 이곳에서 머물것임.

2/10

I stayed there for only day time, its cheap but I'd better pay a bit more and go other places.

8/10

시설은 그냥 그랬는데 위치가 좋았습니다. 주변에 음식점도 많아요. 여기엔 제셀턴 캐빈이라고 나와있는데 가니까 north borneo cabin이었어요. 그리고 직원이 친절했습니다.

6/10

房間資訊誤導以為有私人衛浴，結果是公共衛浴，沒見過這麼小的無法轉身的浴室，而且一靠近就臭死了，選別間吧！它靠gaya街的房間還好，如靠大馬路的房,24小時車聲大到會精神分裂，我以為半夜會較安靜，結果還是撐不住臨時要求換房，還好有一間無窗房沒那麼吵

6/10

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.

5日間泊まったが、ベッドがくたびれていてへこみ寝にくかった。

가격 대비 만족 ~ 직원 모두가 매우 친절하고, 조식으로 주는 식빵이 맛있었습니다~커피 ,쨈, 마아가린, 더운물도 제공해줌 ~주위가 쇼핑센터 , 푸드 센터 모두가 도보로 가능했고,낮에는 공항버스이용도 가능합니다 ~

4/10

발코니와 화장실 담배냄새, 방의 선풍기는 먽지가 가득 몹시 더러움 직원들은 친절했음

4/10

ファミリールームに泊まりました。レセプションのすぐ目の前の部屋のせいかWi-Fiは好調。バスルーム、トイレは共同で清潔ではなく、下水の匂いがします。シャワー室は手前側のは水、チョロチョロなので、奥の方が良い。スタッフは毎日掃除はしているみたい。部屋は広いが、まぁまぁといった感じ。でもコタキナバルでこの安さは他にあまりないかも。安宿、と割り切るべし。

8/10

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

6/10

A lot of dust in Dormitory room. Good location and not far from Airport bus station.

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.

6/10

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 :)

2인실 사용 제셀톤포인트, 선데이마켓, 올드타운커피, 위즈마마데카(환전), 위즈마사바, 수리하사바(쇼핑몰) 접근성 좋음! 샤워실, 화장실 공용. 샤워시설도 잘 되어있고 화장실도 깨끗함. 조식은 식빵에 잼 정도. 에어컨 있는방 사용했으나 조절이 안되어 밤에 너무 추웠음.
