to get started.

The property is centrally located, and easy to get to from the airport. It’s at the end of a street, so it’s a quiet place. The Hotel’s lobby has a restaurant and the decor is lovely and very modern. Upstairs in the mezzanine, there’s a lot of tables and comfortable chairs, a work area, a pool table and an espresso machine for complimentary coffee. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Toojou hotel/hostel was one of the most unique places I had stayed on my travels through Borneo. The staff are amazing and helpful. The artwork is incredible and the coworking space is a great place to work/study/ read.

It's a fun place with a lot of things to do inside and outside the hostel. The staff is so warm and friendly, constantly smiling and they remembered my name and what time I would come down for breakfast. The part of the hostel where the rooms are is very quiet and then downstairs at Opis and the cafe is more exciting. I don't usually like to stay at the same place twice when travelling but I would come back and stay there if ever in KK again!

The slide is awesome! Nice decoration and great concept where we can relax and chill with our family or friends. The food also not bad. Kudos to the team!

The rooms were very, very small! The least expensive rooms are windowless... There’s no soap to wash your hands with.

“Stylish and very central boutique-style hotel with lovely staff”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night
Rooms are very small - no problem for me as I was on my own, but would be a struggle for a couple with two bags. The ground floor restaurant was lovely, though personally I'd have liked a local breakfast option (local strong coffee and kaya toast!) rather than expensive cappuccino.
Great staff, great location, loved that there was a guests' only lounge with free-flowing real coffee and snacks. Rooms and bathrooms were pristine and comfortable and boutique-style.

The staff. I stayed two no consecutive nights. The fist one the receptionist was very nice. The price of the room was 50.09 and she kindly rounded to 50. But I had spare coins so I gave her 0.10; the problem came on the second night. The price was the same but instead of accepting coins, the other receptionist said that I had to pay 51 because they round that way. It doesn’t annoy me to pay the money, but the attitude of how she said and that I had to pay more was not nice at all
The room and the bathroom was really good
