United States of AmericaI stayed in the room with a seaview, loved it!! Just to have a window again and with this amazing view. It could get a bit noisy out on the street at night but until 11 or 12. I did a trip in between and so the first time I was in room 4, walls are full of messages from other travelers. So is all of the hostel, everyone is free to leave a message! Great backpackers vibe! Comfy bed, nice breakfast, friendly staff, good rooftop lounge. It's also a 'green' hostel. I enjoyed both of my stays there. The second visit was in room 8, nothing was written on the wall (yet), but again great room with private shower. Only the powerplug here was a bit far from the bed. This was not the case in room 4. Great wifi throughout the hostel, book exchange, good location. Good place to relax :)!
NetherlandsHostel was really easy to find as it was right on the beach on a busy street. Staff was nice and helpful. Breakfast was basic but always nice to have some toast and tea in the morning. I booked a private room so had my own shower.
United States of AmericaGreat location. Absolutely fabulous staff so friendly and helpful. Extremely comfy bed. Good A/C.
United KingdomRoof top space with space to relax and enjoy the view. Located right by a string of restaurants along the waterfront to get local dishes. Private room has aircon. Staff are friendly
South AfricaNice clean room with awesome sea view. Friendly staff and a really cool hostel, with nice art on the walls. Rooftop lounge is super nice, great views of the sea. Toast and jam and fruit for breakfast. Free water and tea.
SwedenThe public room with ocean view, reception and shower room with tiny window facing the ocean! The staffs are really friendly while the hostel itself located strategically even though it was quite difficult to find it at the first time because the board sign is too small. However I enjoyed my stay here, had a breakfast in front of window looking at the ocean, gathered with other guests at public room with ocean view, and all of the drawings in the walls are cool!
IndonesiaThe hostel is in the center of the tourist area of Sandakan. Clean, comfortable beds, and nice staff. The hostel has lots of art and drawings on the walls which gives it great character, and also has lots of info about environmentalism. Good selection of local fruit included in the breakfast.

My place is close to restaurants and dining, great views, and art and culture. You’ll love my place because of the views, the location, and the people. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids). Our roof top terrace, is the place for guest to chill out and relaxing while looking at the blue sea, especially during sunny day. At our roof top terrace, our guest can enjoy their favourite books or great sea view while ralaxing in hammocks.
I consider myself a local boy, because i was raised up here. Actually, i was born in Tawau. I like to travel, whenever i have the money and time. Travelling allow me to learn and know more about people, culture, lives, history and sturcture of other country. I'm a squash fan, squash is the only balls game that you can play alone, even without partners.
