Overall cleanliness was good. And the location is very strategic as it is located in one of KK's biggest malls. I don't know if I could recommend this hotel due to my experience of construction noises lasting from 10pm to 12am (and it went over 12am where I had to ask the staff to check on it). I understand this may be a one-off incident but the lack of understanding from the staff is what truly puts me off. Even though the noise was coming from the mall, it does directly affect your customers and thus it is a problem that the hotel has to address. I called to complain twice, got no updates after the first and had to face a very dismissive receptionist in the second. The hotel should have taken more active measures and worked with the mall management. I don't think there's any excuse as to why construction has to happen AT NIGHT where your guests want to rest/sleep. Other than the mall, no other amenities.

I arrived at 9 AM and was immediately checked in. After a good sleep, I headed out to explore. No deposit was required, which was a nice touch. The staff were all smiles and made me feel right at home. Next time I'm in Kota Kinabalu, I'll definitely choose this place again. The privacy is excellent, and the capsule rooms are great. It's also conveniently located near the Central Market and Gaya Street, making it easy to get around.

Super cool concept! The space pods are really cool and spacious. The TV in the pod doesn't have access to Netflix or your phone so we couldn't watch anything on it. About a 15 minute walk to the seafront.
Only squat toilets on the floor of our room and some of them spray your feet from the back of it with water.
Very clean!

Very well located place, just next to jesselton harbor and Gaya Street. We had a problem in the first day because hour apartment with double bed wasn't available and we need to stay the first night in an apartment with twin beds and without wash machine (which was included on apartment booked). From second night we could move to the apartment booked. It was clean but is old and not so wellantained, the place also don't have enough equipments (we needed to ask for pan and pots, since the only one provided was unable to use, also wasn't provide enough cutlery). But the place is near to the most attractions by walking distance and have the essentials to stay for a short time.

The staff were very helpful and provided excellent service throughout my stay. The airport transfer service was also very punctual and well arranged. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable stay, and I would definitely consider staying here again

The location is convenient, Gaya street, night market is just next lane, but, it was terribly noisy as it was Saturday night. The room is really small, but clean. Towels too old, no other toiletries except bath lotion.

This vendor has earned my utmost respect; they are proficient and their goods are first-rate.

AAnonymous UserI had a lovely stay at Wendu Inn. One of the biggest highlights was the stunning view of Mount Kinabalu from the Kota Belud side which I absolutely loved it. The location is very convenient, especially being close to Polumpung. We could simply drive there for a quick dip and head back to the hotel. The service was also very good. The only downside was that the breakfast options were limited, but the food was still tasty.

MMindelaiThe hotel is a very beautiful and charming place.
I booked this room mainly because can see the stunning Golden Mountain view directly at dawn.
It gets quite cold at night, and the mornings are pleasantly cool.
The restaurant food is good, and the staff are friendly and helpful.
The only downsides are that there are a few insects at the mountaintop, which is understandable, and the soundproofing of the room isn’t great—after 10 p.m., noise from people outside can still be heard clearly.

AAnonymous UserThis is the sort of place where the staff will always greet you with ”hello, sir/ma'am” whenever they see you. Nice swimming pool and very good food at the restaurant, even though slightly pricy at first (I guess it's fine being a resort), the portions are actually huge and very fresh. Try their lemon chicken on rice for 20 ringgit (February 2024). All you can eat breakfast included for free even with the dorm bed: fried noodles, a very thick pancake, fruit, British breakfast, beef sausages, coffee, juice, etc. Walk-in price is 80RM, cheaper here on Trip. The dorm looks exactly the same as the one I staid in Kinabatangan, which is always funny (same contractor?). Comfortable night, with a new AC and fan, specially so considering I had it all to myself since the other few guests they had had private accommodation. Dorm showers have plenty of hot water and are clean, but there's no soap or amenities beyond the towel they give you at check-in. Bring your own. The staff at the restaurant sometimes disappears for no reason in the middle of service, even if there's about 20 of them considering réception is right there. They helped me book a taxi to the airport (50 ringgit), since there's no grab available (spent 1h looking for one). Don't bother trying to get one, ask them to call a taxi for you, really. This resort is about 1km away from the three main things to do at sepilok. You will be walking on the side of the road to get anywhere since transportation options are scarce and expensive. Overall this is standard of service here in Borneo, so don't settle for less than this.

GGuest UserIt should be a nice place, with a huge garden, but all the board walks are made with cheap looking wood imitation.
You feel more like disney land.
The houses and rooms are poorly sound proofed, every room is on a long floor and everybody is passing through, kids shouting and screaming and parents screaming in their cellphones. Then people are not used to close doors quietly, its banging 24 hours.
Its very much noise made by humans for a jungle resort.
The service is good and the rooms are in a good condition, just it should be more light by the sink in the room.

AAngela OoiYou have to buy tissues separately at the counter. The room had a very damp smell as soon as I entered, and so did the bed and bedding. The soundproofing is very poor. I wouldn't recommend this room type for light sleepers, as you can occasionally hear children running upstairs and other people's conversations very clearly. The environment is quite nice, especially at night. However, when the lights are on at night, people outside can see everything through the glass doors and windows. 😂

AAndrew9951There are markets, supermarkets, department stores, and many restaurants nearby. The only downside is the loud karaoke noise from next door. The room itself is quite nice, clean, and well-maintained!

TTrippingtheuniverseSemporna is an interesting place to visit, with several islands surrounded by coral reefs for snorkeling and diving, more beautiful than many other snorkeling spots worldwide. Staying at this hostel instead of moving to an island resort is a good way to budget. And not only that, the fish market in Semporna is the most incredible one I have seen, seafood like lobsters, large shrimps, crabs so fresh, not even the one at Kota Kinabalu can be compared good as it was too. The DZ hostel lady staff was very helpful and can arrange for island trips at a reasonable price. The dorms are separated into boys and girls, something I truly appreciate. The bathrooms faced the afternoon sun, so they were dried easily and kept clean. Laundry by machine was offered free, a super plus for swimmers. The hostel also offered local Malay snack food for breakfast, and coffee or tea were always available. To be honest, it's a good budget place to stay while splurging on the island tours. It's a bit sad that no cooking is allowed here, even though there was a kitchen. Sad because the seafood mentioned above was so available. The facade of the building is nothing to boast about, and like many places, the external (streets, pavement, eyc) can be a mess. That should not deter visiting this part of the world mainly because the sea in this area is astoundingly replenished with marine life.
