The AC worked great. Our double bed and pillows were more comfortable than I expected. The location is central but that comes with constant loud music and multiple people playing music at once. This was not in control of the hostel though. Breakfast was boiled eggs, toast, and bananas. Free water was great! It’s a grimey hostel, exactly what the name is: backpackers hostel
Hostel was good located and they had tours ready to book. All-in-all shower and toilets were ok, budget-hostel-standard. Like the common area on the roof the most.
The place was in a great location, near night markets and lots of coffee shops and restaurants for during the day. The staff were really helpful, leaving keys in a safe box for us to check in in the early hours. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed - great value for money and would recommend a stay here in KK!
Wow, for a backpacker’s dormitory, never saw a place that clean, especially the bathroom. Very nice and within walking distance of the rainforest.
I had a great stay at Island backpackers in a private room and extended a few times. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. Free breakfast of toast, spreads, boiled eggs & bananas was more than many hostels. The place is basic, but it does the job if you’re hoping to do diving / snorkeling day trips.
Best hostel I've ever stayed in east Malaysia. Located at the heart of the KK town. Easy access to several tourist spots and local food spots. Stayed 3 quality nights at mixed bed dorm and it gives me sweet dream everyday.
Great location, close to night market, KK sentral station and jetty terminal. Very friendly staff, great views from the hostel. Simple and tasty breakfast.
The friendly staff, the trips to the night market together with the staff and guests, the room and toilets are clean, we can book tours directly from the hostel, power outlet and reading light at each bed, towel and blanket are provided too. We could do our laundry inhouse at a really cheap cost too.
Contactless check in. The cheapest room in town! Comfortable room with hot shower and wifi makes you feel lazy to go out 😂Efficient staff. Great location !ATM, supermarket, cafe and clinic are few steps away! I like the hostel environment with pleasant background music at the lobi..less scary when you came back late at night 🤣
