vibrant hostel was even better than my previous stay in kota kinabalu. the staff was incredibly friendly and gave great tips for tours. the location next to imago mall was perfect, with plenty of food options nearby. the beds were so comfortable with two comforters, ensuring a good night's sleep.

Narrow room for a family of four.

The staffs were extremely friendly and helpful. Facilities were clean and well-maintained. Great location close to shopping mall.

Felt so relaxed, no complaints.

Vibrant hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. the rooms and bathrooms were spotlessly clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. I felt like I was staying in a hotel rather than a hostel. the communal area was fantastic, with free tea, coffee, and biscuits available all day. the staff, especially Mary, were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making my stay even more enjoyable. the hostel's location was also perfect, as it was just a short walk from a large mall with plenty of dining options and shops. I highly recommend Vibrant hostel to anyone visiting the area. Cons: Nothing not to like! 😊.

the staff was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to assist with tour information. the room was immaculate with a comfortable bed and soft sheets. the common area was a nice touch with free coffee and a microwave for cooking.

The first men's shower had a broken showerhead holder.

Mind-blowing staff, super clean facilities, affordable price, great location near mall and shops, comfortable beds.

The hostel was conveniently located near the airport, making it easy to catch my flight. The rooms and bathrooms were kept very clean, providing a comfortable stay. the free tea, coffee, and biscuits throughout the day were a nice touch, and the included breakfast of toast, jams.

One major downside was that the hostel was quite far from the city center. It was a bit of a hassle to get to the old town, requiring a 30-minute walk or a taxi ride.

Friendly staff, clean rooms & bathrooms, excellent kitchen facilities, superb location, easy to move around.

Felt like family, no complaint.

The location is perfect, right next to Imago shopping mall, making it convenient for shopping and dining. it is very close to Kota Kinabalu airport, making it easy to access. the rooms are comfortable and clean, with soft sheets and comfortable beds. the bathroom area is well-maintained, with daily cleaning and provided toiletries. the staff is friendly and helpful, assisting with tour information and going the extra mile to accommodate requests. the common area is inviting, with free coffee, a fridge, and microwave for cooking.

If I had to find a negative aspect, the bathroom could benefit from some mould removal and the microwave could be cleaned more regularly.
