It’s also right across from the central market. I stayed in a twin room with private bathroom good for a solo traveler like me. The A/C in the room worked well, as well as WiFi, and overall the room was good, except the bed / mattress was too hard & hence not comfortable; the same goes for the pillow. There’s self-serve breakfast, which consists of coffee, tea, bread and jam. You can also make coffee or tea all day. The staff here is super friendly, esp. Jacinta, who helped me get a ride to Poring Hot Springs as well as point out the bus stops to Kinabalu Park and towards Sandakan. Overall, this is a good budget place to stay, esp. for backpackers. Good for a 2-night stay. ##### Iris Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 26 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Budget Hostel We stayed in this hostel for a night and it is located in the Ranau town itself ..The location is very convenient as about three minutes walk to a supermarket which you can get all things you needed such as food, drink, toiletries and etc..There are a lot of eatery shops around too...But the down side of this hostel is that the room wall is not sound proof..We can hear people talking and door banging even at around mid night time...For those light sleepers, I would not recommend this hostel but if you are on a budget trip, this would be value for money... ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Castle Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Harrogate-Hotels-The-Castle-Inn.h22881785.Hotel-Information) > > [Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oxford-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Oxford-Linton-Lodge-Hotel.h455423.Hotel-Information) > > [Millers of Frigiliana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Frigiliana-Hotels-Millers-Of-Frigiliana.h18083353.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Battersea Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battersea-Park-Hotels.0-l507735-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Cricklewood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cricklewood-London-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6144888-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [Tanini Sepilok (Formerly Nature Lodge Sepilok)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandakan-Hotels-Nature-Lodge-Sepilok.h15451629.Hotel-Information) > > [Sepilok Nature Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandakan-Hotels-Sepilok-Nature-Resort.h9826312.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Harpenden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Harpenden-Hotels.s50-0-d5864.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Aparthotel Plat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zadar-Hotels-Villa-Plat.h12389128.Hotel-Information) > > [One Shot Luchana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-One-Shot-Luchana-22.h5784203.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Alcyone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Hotel-Alcyone.h919613.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Los Angeles Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h25892.Hotel-Information) > > [Sepilok Forest Edge Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandakan-Hotels-Sepilok-Forest-Edge-Resort.h10039659.Hotel-Information) > > [Sepilok Jungle Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandakan-Hotels-Sepilok-Jungle-Resort.h5140593.Hotel-Information) > > [La Casa sul Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Civitavecchia-Hotels-La-Casa-Sul-Mare.h13450538.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-Mandarin-Oriental-Ritz.h26286.Hotel-Information) > > [Veranda Grand Baie Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grand-Baie-Hotels-Veranda-Grand-Baie-Hotel-Spa.h1333712.Hotel-Information) > > [Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kota-Kinabatangan-Hotels-Borneo-Natural-Sukau-Bilit-Resort.h12482100.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Montreal by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montreal-Hotels-InterContinental-Montreal.h10019.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Turin (TRN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/trn/birmingham-to-turin) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Tabuk (TUU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/tuu/london-to-tabuk) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Pietermaritzburg (PZB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/pzb/london-to-pietermaritzburg) > > [Flights from Amsterdam (AMS) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ams/edi/amsterdam-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Svedala (MMX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/mmx/manchester-to-malmo) > > [Flights from Liverpool (LPL) to Zakynthos (ZTH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpl/zth/liverpool-to-zakynthos) ### Cars > [Hertz Destinations In Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hertz-Destinations-In-Dubai.d1079-c40.Car-Rental-Destination-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Brighton Dome](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Dome-Brighton-City-Centre.d6154542.Attraction) > > [Bora Bora Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bora-Bora.d602861.Holidays-City-Breaks)
