    “The cost performance is too high.”

    In the city center, right across is the sea, especially on the third floor, the sea view is truly healing. I stayed for two days, and it was very clean and safe. The store manager is very nice and even gave me a big flower keychain. Signing up here for the island-hopping to Gili Islands is really much cheaper than on the app. I also saw a rainbow when I went to Gili. Breakfast is free 24 hours, and it took me less than 10 minutes to walk to Gaya Street, maybe because my legs are relatively long.

    “Recommended!”

    The view from the bed was really beautiful! However, if the bed is in a bad location, there is no view, haha. The staff were also very friendly, and they kept the place clean, so both the toilet and the bathroom were nice! The only downside was that there were few toilets, so in the morning it got crowded and I had trouble getting to the toilet, haha. The mall is close by, so the location is good! I think the age range of guests is relatively low. I had a great time with a friend I met here, watching the sunset and going to the market! I stayed at two other places in Kota Kinabalu, but this one was the best! I really recommend it!

    “The location is good.”

    I live in a double room with my friend, and the room has no windows, which is not very good. Aside from that, everything else is great; the common areas are very clean, and on the third and fourth floors, the common lounge areas offer a beautiful sunset view in the evening. The scenery is very nice. There are many按摩店 (massage shops), convenience stores, and dry cleaning shops downstairs, all of which are quite good.

    “Excellent stay”

    I had a great stay here at the Homy seafront Hostel. it was very clean and spacious and the beds were big and comfy. Having a self Service breakfast was also great and to be able to have it all day. The staff was always on hand to help whenever asked. I also met some great people here so is sociable if you want it to be! I'd 100% recommend.

    “Exceptional”

    Sitting in the room, looking at the shining blue ocean, my mood suddenly calms down. A few small fishing boats float slowly on the water, as if they are not in a hurry to go anywhere. In the distance, the mountain is full of greenery, looking particularly gentle under the sunlight. The palm trees gently sway in the wind, their leaves rustling, casting light and shadows everywhere. The most comfortable feeling is that—it's a bit dark inside the house, but bright outside, and the sea breeze seems to blow directly into my heart, scattering all the chaotic things that usually occupy my mind. Sometimes life is just good like this. No need to think too much, no need to rush; just let the eyes and heart rest together for a while. It is really beautiful.
