Clean. Quiet and every attraction is just walking distance

location was perfect

this hostels lacks things for entertainment in the common areas so most people just go there just to sleep and leave

就在加雅街边上，位置好，房间干净整洁。

地點

設備

Good location and staff !

Rigtig fint organiseret. Man fik sine egne Sutsko ved ankomst, og de skulle afleveres til rengøring ved udcheckning - så ved man det er rent! Sengene var rene og pæne

Der boede mange gæster fast- altså ophold på mere end 1 måned. Dette gjorde, at de følte sig meget hjemme og rodede over alt. Lidt irriterende for os andre

Für ein Hostel super sauber . Vorhänge am Bett für Privatsphäre Wenig Platz im Zimmer

An meinem Handtuch hing etwas Schminke . Beim Check out wollten sie mir meine Kaution nicht vollständig zurückgeben deswegen. Ich durfte das Handtuch im Bad dann selbst im Bad reinigen(war auch wirklich nur ein kleiner Fleck ). Hab die Kaution dann wieder bekommen.

nope

comfort

Its consistently clean and you can always have a good rest or sleep.

The stairs if you have a a heavy luggage and multiple things . Never the less all good

The cleanliness and amenities

Bunk ned not so ergonomic to climb.

Small but lovely and clean common room, very nice staff, great big lockers and nice personal bed space with a curtain. Fantastic location, close to the Gaya street cafes and markets and the waterfront.

Only three showers and bathrooms for quite a few beds.

Lovely little hostel. Amazingly comfy beds with cosy bedding and pillows. Nice cold AC. Big lockers and shelf space around the bed to put items. Small but sociable common area, fridge for guest use and hot powerful showers. Location is perfect, close to everything you need - lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

It was very much in the middle of the city

The no and location of the washrooms. They were just three toilets and close to the reception also three wash basins

Jiran was great - comfortable bed, quiet room. Privacy curtains on each bunk which I always appreciate.

perfect location, not too close to tourist places such as the night market, but close to most places that you wanna go. Lounge has a perfect long working bench for those who wanna enjoy sitting there working with their laptop and watching the forest on the other side

i would be happier if they offer some sort of dry cleaning services

Great location, comfy beds with own light, charging point and curtain for privacy. I liked the lockers and general security, and the free water. Self check-in was pretty straightforward.

The dorm room was a touch small but no big deal. Also just three toilets which are right near reception, so a bit out in the open! The front desk is only manned between 9 and 6 so when we ran out of toilet paper there was no one to ask until morning - but a minor thing.

Overall it was a fantastic experience! The hostel is well-maintained, clean, and has a welcoming atmosphere. The bathroom was impressively clean, which is always a big plus for me. The hostel provides essential amenities like 2in1 shampoo with body wash, and even towels, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own. Another great feature is the simple breakfast provided by the hostel, along with unlimited water and coffee, such a nice touch for the guests. It's clear that the staff has thought of almost everything to make guests feel at home.

I had a lovely stay at Jiran Hostel. It’s a quiet and peaceful place, perfect for relaxing for a few days while visiting Kota Kinabalu. The staff member, was incredibly helpful and kind, which made my stay even more enjoyable. One of the best things about this hostel is its location — it’s close to everything, especially the Jesselton Jetty for island hopping. There are also plenty of eateries nearby. I would definitely come back again!

The bed was super comfortable, and the pillows came in a set of two with a thick, cozy duvet — honestly, it felt even better than my bed at home! Haha!

Amazing staff ! Kind and helpful Great location, very close to the Jetty Everything was clean and the beds are comfortable

The attention of the staff was great. The location was very central and close to the ferry port, a large mall, markets, and faces a lush green mountain. The shower provides a towel and shampoo. Breakfast is a simple toast and butter or jam.

The bathroom sink area is shared and is tight, and some sinks were used to wash dishes and their faces. Toilet areas are also quite near each other.

Tidy, clean, peaceful, friendly staff, awesome location (5 min walk to the quay)

None

I love the size of the bunkers, not the conventional bunkers, the host custom made it that fit all sizes. Then the facilities are clean, and in good condition.

My bunk mates are dirty and messy girls. (I stayed in 8bed female dorm). They hang their wet clothes at my curtain rails. I attached a video to how messy and dirty they are. I regret requesting a lower bed. Should have requested an upper bed.

Facilities are nice, the location is great.

Staff was nice and helpful. Pitcher water available. Toast for breakfast.

Lockers are not available in every room. Apparently, that requires booking a more expensive room. Management is also unwilling to make any accommodations for their mishandling of interactions with booking.com. They will kick you out at 10pm at night instead of working with you.

It’s small but it feels very familial and you can hey free tea ir coffee with toast in the morning. There is a TV in the commum area and it’s clean! The reception are helpful and friendly

Nice little hostel with a calm view on the jungle. It felt very homey. The pods are very confortable (I loved that we had 2 pillows). Location is convenient, not far from the port to the KK islands and surrounded by many shops and food places. Staff is super nice and helpful in planning your trip.

The common areas are quite small and it may feel tight when the hostel is full...

I like the environment of the facility. Look so new even almost 2 years in services.

Parking 😂 and maybe can add a personal locker at room of 10

Pleasant and clean hostel, nice rooms with comfortable beds. Great location near the jetty. Possibility for self check-in. So very clean.

Rooms have no window, so remember to put on the fan ;) Don’t expect to much from breakfast (toast and coffee/tea)

Perfect accommodation, clean, comfortable, well placed and the big important point is that the welcome is really perfect, the hostesses are really nice and are at your service to organize the excursions! thank you again for taking so much time to make me have a great stay in Kota Kinabalu

Service is so good! 100/10 will come back again

Nothing it’s perfect

Jiran hostel was wonderful. The ladies running it are so friendly and kind. They helped me book my onward travel to kinabatangan river and even shared some local fruits and dishes with me. The hostel itself is perfectly located near the jetty and gaya street in town. The hostel is clean and secure. They provide a light breakfast and drinking water. I would love to stay here again

Nothing to dislike

Strategic location, very clean too. Loved the ambience around the common area as well 😊

everything is fine

bed a bit sinking. prefer better quality bed

The loveliest 10-day stay, an exceptional experience and facility with a 5-minute walk to the mall, night market, and cafes... made a lot of friends from across the globe, including our lovely Miss Ann..

Only <3

Very clean and modern
