The price is suit to the service provide. The air condition is bad, when meet hot weather the air condition did not function well. At the lobby the air condition also not very good.The light in the room also kinda dim. Yet, is a good location nearby the Central Point Mall, nearby Mcd and below is Venomi Cafe which serves cheap food yet good taste.

Very nice place, I enjoyed my stay here, the staffs were very friends and helpful. They helped me with so much with information on where to rent motorcycle, to buy tickets for island hoping and many more. The rooms are also clean and I just loved my stay there :) surrounding has eateries too :)

Really liked my stay here until I found a complete infestation of bed bugs. Luckily I hadn't opened my bag and managed not to transfer them onwards but damn... going to consider myself very lucky these were the only ones I found in 8 months of traveling Asia.

I've stayed here a few times, and every time it's great. The PODs employees seem like they're a big, happy family. Maria is great; she knows so much about Kota Kinabalu. I would highly recommend staying at PODs for meeting other back-packers. I hope to go back and visit soon! I miss you guys!

Inexpensive, but unfortunately there were bedbugs in at least 2 of the rooms. Otherwise nice, very helpful staff, comfortable beds, good location. 4 stars if there weren't bedbugs

Good hub to explore Sabah from KK. It's really basic and the tours they offer are slightly overpriced compared to other alternative tour operators or very overpriced compared to organize your own itinerary. Staff is nice and helpful. Classic backpacker Hostel feeling. Safe shot.

The staff is amazing and nice , however, I checked out early. I didn’t realize but there are TONS of bed bugs! Now I have many bites on my legs and bum.
