Borneo Global Backpackers  

In Kampung Sembulan — downtown Kota Kinabalu, about 1 km from the city center. Minutes from Kompleks Karamunsing and All Saint's Cathedral, and close to Downbelow Adventure Centre and the Museum of Islamic Civilisation. A smart base for backpackers exploring the city and nearby islands.

A compact backpacker hostel with 23 air-conditioned guestrooms; room equipment varies by category and bathrooms come with showers. The vibe is simple and social — think common-area TV and a laid-back bar for evening hangs after long walks around town.

Bar/lounge, tour and ticket assistance for local excursions, transfer service for getting around, luggage storage, laundry and pressing services, and a 24-hour front desk. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected while you plan island trips or city walks.

Complimentary wireless internet and a computer station make quick work of bookings and emails. 24-hour front desk and luggage storage available for flexible arrival and departure.

An on-site bar/lounge lets you quench your thirst and meet fellow travelers. Plenty of nearby local eateries in downtown Kota Kinabalu if you want regional flavors after a drink.
