Very nice little hostel. Clean and tidy. They provide pretty much everything you need. Towel, shampoo, locker, water, simple breakfast. Couldn’t ask for more. The staff are very nice and jot a little note for me to self check in during off hours

I had an excellent stay at Jiran. The staff were welcoming and efficient, and my room was clean and well-appointed. The location was perfect, with easy access to attractions.I highly recommended it.

As a regular customer here, I keep coming back because the hostel is clean, quiet and safe. I came to stay to rest before catching my flight or after.. I usually don’t have problems to sleep. BUT! for this stay, I didn’t get any sleep at all! It’s because of the westerners guest making noise, talking and laughing until 1.30am. Mind you there is already notes on the common area telling the guest to keep quiet after 10pm. Maybe the reception needs to remind the guest during check in?
Dear future guest,
Please be mindful, have some common sense. People staying here to rest. Be respectful!

Very Good
Posted on Apr 23, 2024
Really friendly staff. One of the Shared bedrooms doesn’t have curtains but the lady told me they are planning to put. Besides that the bed was comfortable. Lounge area is small but is good to connect with other people. Free tea and coffee ! Bread toaster Microwave Fridge. The bad thing is that the shower heater was no so good and then when you flush the water in the toilet sometimes it was not strong enough so you have to wait. There are 3 bathrooms. One was broken during my whole staying. This should be fix asap.

Well, pretty good. A bit cramped and limited. Apart from cooking bowls of maggi, the basic facilities are there
Breakfast was just bread. My booking price was RM44. Normally, this hotel is only new because it is comfortable. No noise pollution. If this hotel was located on the upper level of Jesselton Quay I think it would be more interesting. There is a TV. The mattress is thick and firm.

Amazing
Posted on Feb 27, 2025
The hostel is quite clean and is about a 5-minute walk from the commercial area, where there are restaurants and eateries.
The bed is quite soft and has enough privacy. It may be because it was the off-season for tourism in Sabah when I stayed in February. I was the only one sleeping in a room for 10 people and the sleep quality was excellent. If I visit Sabah again, I will still consider staying here.

It was so good. It was quiet, clean, and the location was the best.. ♥♡
I arrived late because I had an overnight flight, but when I told them in advance, they told me how to check in by myself, so I was able to enter comfortably.
I booked an 8-person room, but I was the only one there, so I had a good rest!
The downside is that I had to carry my luggage up one floor, but I liked it enough to excuse that!
I booked a hotel for the next day, so I only stayed for one night, but if you're looking for a cost-effective trip, it seems like it would be okay to stay here all the time!
