My fifth or sixth stay here. Continue to come back because you pay one of kks lowest backpacks plus, its located in the middle of the city. Breakfast is free, and the owner is very welcoming and likes to stay.

I would definitely come back! Absolutely amazing experience staying here! Auntie takes care of everyone with great care and attention to detail. They will also assist you in planning your time in kk or the surrounding sabah area with activities to do, places to go and sights to see which i found to be very helpful. The homemade breakfast was great, especially the pancakes. I felt so at home and loved the social atmosphere of the hostel.

The location is very strategic because you can walk around the city, you can cook yourself with the kitchen and food storage provided. This place is known to backpackers because it is very cheap. The person in charge is also very nice. Love the place, its comfortable and homey but the only downside is that it is on the third floor and you might be confused where it is exactly because they just put a small banner on top. The good news is everything else. They give you key access and it is quite secure because the door is locked downstairs and upstairs and a room door, they have fast wifi access because i actually watch a few movies.

My stay here was fantastic! Lovely airconditioned rooms with a genuine family atmosphere where the staff makes you feel right at home. Everyone is incredibly kind and goes above and beyond to ensure you have the greatest possible experience. Breakfast is delicious, with a variety of options, including fresh fruit!.

非常讚！ 唯一小小缺點是沒有電梯，以及公共空間沒有冷氣。 但是瑕不掩瑜，很對得起這個價錢了！服務跟早餐比我朋友住的星級酒店還好

I stayed here for one night from september 4th to 5th, 2020. Had a pleasant stay, the room was clean, and the counter ladies were very helpful and kind. Although the place is located in a rather old place, escape backpackers kk did a good job managing their accommodation area. They are located directly below the sports shop yonex. I really love the breakfast prepared by them, for such a low price, they still provide an amazing breakfast for you that is unbelievable, i didnt expect breakfast when i booked the place. They do have a public area where you can enjoy your meal, do your stuff while looking out onto the road and a shopping mall. Not to mention that there is a large shopping mall and many food places around the area that can be reached on foot. If you are more of a backpacker, you can even walk to the nearby market by the sea where you can buy tons of seafood.

The location is perfect given everything. The location is very close. The philippine night market is very close, so we had a cheap and delicious dinner there every evening. Breakfast is included and different breakfast each morning. Coffee and tea are unlimited one morning we didnt have breakfast because everything had been eaten before 9 am. The dorms are clean. Curtains were nice and ac in the dorm room. Toilets and showers were also clean. Toilet paper was sometimes not available. Cute cats in the hostel though they destroyed my shoes from the shoe rack. Other guests had some trouble keeping quiet at night but i dont even know do the hostel have any rules about being quiet at night?

Despite a few minor issues that could have been easily fixed, such as the broken air conditioner and water heater, i had a great time at the escape backpackers hostel. The good news, though, was that i met a lot of nice and friendly local friends and people from semenanjung. The place is spotless, the daily rental is extremely affordable, and the best part is that they prepare breakfast every day for you. It was like being at home! Thank you abe, mr. Rodzan, and the abang musician for making me feel at home!.

When it comes to location, dont anticipate too much from this hostel. It is situated above a few stores. Once inside, it is a respectable hostel. The cozy atmosphere and helpful staff were what made it worthwhile for me. Thats why i returned to this hostel after my roundtrip in benteo.

Dia memiliki banyak nasihat tentang tempat makan, cara berkeliling, dan hal-hal yang harus dilihat. Sangat bagus. Kami pasti akan kembali! Terima kasih banyak atas ketersediaan dan keramahtamahan Anda!

The staff is excellent and is run by locals who take excellent care of their guests. If you want to talk to someone on your own, simply wait in the hall and begin meeting people. If not, you can approach the counter and have a nice conversation with the staff. Additionally, they provide tourist information at reasonable prices compared to other travel agencies. Breakfast, in my opinion, is the best. It is a buffet that changes daily, so if you stay for more than two nights, you wont eat two slices of bread twice. Beds with courtains.

Lokasi pusat dengan akses yang bagus. Staf adalah orang-orang yang sangat hangat. Saya senang mendapatkan sarapan gratis dan kopi sepuasnya dengan harga murah. AC di kamar berfungsi dengan baik. Tidak, itu terlalu efektif. Ruang umum luas dan bersih. Dari dua pancuran tersebut, saya khawatir hanya satu yang tekanan airnya lemah. Selain itu, dapat menimbulkan kebisingan jika sekelompok tamu menginap di sana. Sangat nyaman sehingga rencana 2 malam yang kami rencanakan menjadi 4 malam. Sangat direkomendasikan bagi yang bepergian sendirian ke Kota Kinabalu.
