Bed and Breakfast The Jesselton Cabin Sdn Bhd

No.74, Jalan Gaya, 1st & 2nd Floor, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia –

*7.8* Atkinson Clock Tower: only 5 minutes away! (1,100 feet by foot)

*8.0* Signal Hill Observatory: only 3 minutes away! (600 feet by foot)

Suria Sabah Shopping Mall: only 3 minutes away! (800 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for The Jesselton Cabin Sdn Bhd – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

The location is absolutely perfect. You will find everything you need as a backpacker on your doorstep. We spent a weekend + Monday in Kota Kinabalu and it was the best choice because of all the markets runing through those days. We even didn´t have to pay for a taxi (GrabMe) during our stay (we used it once, just to our final trip to the airport) otherwise almost everything is in a walking distance. Staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast was basic but yummy and we also did enjoy free coffee available all day. We had a private room and there was enough space for 2 of us.

Good location. It’s near by place of the night market and main street of the city. There are a lot of shops around there which we can eat and try new local food. Staffs are really friendly and kind. It’s totally worth it to stay here.

- • Solo traveler

If you pay for the A/C, be aware that it is not available during the day.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and the vibe is relaxed, easily turning into a balcony party with the right mix of tourists and employees. Slightly rough around the edges, but otherwise a fine backpacker’s hostel. They have a fridge and storage area that you can use, too, and can provide laundry service for a fee per kg.

Not suitable for families. Had to go down a floor to use the shower (which needed a good clean) and opened out onto the balcony where there was always men smoking lounging around topless. Excessive dust in the room and air con didn't work well. Got woken up by my son in the middle of the night when a huge bug was crawling over him. Great for young adventurers traveling on a budget, wanting a central location but for us, we'd rather pay a bit more for somewhere cleaner and usable showers near our room.
Nice and central location and staff very friendly.
