The hostel staff provided excellent service – very polite and welcoming. The common area had comfortable sofas, free biscuits, toast, and coffee. Both the showers and toilets were spotless. My roommates were also wonderful. I was so satisfied with my stay that I extended it for another five nights. I'll definitely come back if I have the chance!"

The location and facilities were great, and most of the staff was very friendly. However, the laundry service was expensive, and we didn’t receive all of our clothes back—some items were lost. When I reached out to resolve the issue, they stopped responding. I definitely wouldn’t recommend using their laundry service.

Excellent little accomodation that has all you need at very reasonable rates. It's centrally located, clean and has very friendly staff. I decided to extend my stay for an other two nights. I was initially a bit hesitant as I read that wifi might not be working well, but it was quite the opposite. It was strong enough for me to take a video call for work which I'm happy about. Thanks again to Ziahh.

The room was very comfortable, and there was a free breakfast every day. The front desk wasn't open 24 hours, but there were multiple staff members during the day. There were two toilets, one of which was large. There were two shower rooms. There was a place to cook and a refrigerator. Most of the guests were middle-aged.

Great value for budget travelers! Signel Hostel is very affordable and the rooms are very clean. The staff are super polite, friendly, and helpful. I really appreciated the bed setups—each comes with a personal reading light, a power outlet, a small shelf, and even a few clothes hangers, which was a very thoughtful touch! A few practical things to note before booking: There is no elevator, so carrying heavy luggage up the stairs can be challenging. The bathroom facilities are a bit old, limited in number, and the shower area is unisex/shared for both men and women. Overall, considering the cheap price, cleanliness, and wonderful hospitality, it’s still fantastic value for money!

The hotel is right in KK Square, making it super convenient for food, drinks, and shopping. However, the room was a bit dark, the bathroom was small, and the pillowcases weren't clean. Other than that, everything else was fine.

I arrived in Tawau at 3 PM, but the airport didn't allow overnight stays, so I had to head to Semporna three hours earlier. Coincidentally, the front desk staff that day didn't speak Chinese or English, so we communicated using a translation app. It went smoothly; they allowed us to rest in the lobby and use the public restrooms. They were really kind and friendly throughout. After daybreak, we left our luggage there and went island hopping. We checked in upon our return in the evening. The cleanliness was good, and I didn't find any mosquitoes. My only minor regret was not having a place to hang my washed clothes, but thankfully, summer clothes dry quickly. The location is great, with plenty of food and drink options downstairs, including restaurants and supermarkets. Overall, for the price, I was very satisfied. If I go back, I'd definitely consider staying here again. I forgot to take photos of the hotel, so I'll just use my island hopping pictures instead.
