"Great value for budget travelers! Signel Hostel is very affordable and the rooms are very clean. The staff are super polite, friendly, and helpful. I really appreciated the bed setups—each comes with a personal reading light, a power outlet, a small shelf, and even a few clothes hangers, which was a very thoughtful touch! A few practical things to note before booking: There is no elevator, so carrying heavy luggage up the stairs can be challenging. The bathroom facilities are a bit old, limited in number, and the shower area is unisex/shared for both men and women. Overall, considering the cheap price, cleanliness, and wonderful hospitality, it’s still fantastic value for money!"

Well-managed and clean, making female guests feel safe. The bunk beds are spacious, and there are many dining options nearby. Facilities: Complete. Cleanliness: You need to remove your shoes upon entry. Environment: Cozy and comfortable, good location in town. Service: Staff speak Chinese, so basic communication is not an issue. Recommended.

We stayed in this hotel for four people. Seriously, the people inside were very friendly. The old man with us was a house. The old man from Alaska was named Ben. He was humorous and talkative. I really hope I can go to live for a few more days next time. A photo of a happy diving in Kota Kinabalu

It's not far from RDC and the Orangutan Conservation Center. The sanitation is good, the environment is nice and quiet, and the front desk service is good. One thing to note is that it's not so easy to get a taxi from there to the city. I waited for 20 minutes before I got one.

I arrived in Tawau at 3 PM, but the airport didn't allow overnight stays, so I had to head to Semporna three hours earlier. Coincidentally, the front desk staff that day didn't speak Chinese or English, so we communicated using a translation app. It went smoothly; they allowed us to rest in the lobby and use the public restrooms. They were really kind and friendly throughout. After daybreak, we left our luggage there and went island hopping. We checked in upon our return in the evening. The cleanliness was good, and I didn't find any mosquitoes. My only minor regret was not having a place to hang my washed clothes, but thankfully, summer clothes dry quickly. The location is great, with plenty of food and drink options downstairs, including restaurants and supermarkets. Overall, for the price, I was very satisfied. If I go back, I'd definitely consider staying here again. I forgot to take photos of the hotel, so I'll just use my island hopping pictures instead.

The cleanliness and hygiene were on par with the price, but the bed, at least by my standards, was clean. The staff were very friendly and the location in a bustling area was a plus. If you're just looking for a place to sleep, it's fine for a one or two-night stay.
