Semporna is an interesting place to visit, with several islands surrounded by coral reefs for snorkeling and diving, more beautiful than many other snorkeling spots worldwide. Staying at this hostel instead of moving to an island resort is a good way to budget. And not only that, the fish market in Semporna is the most incredible one I have seen, seafood like lobsters, large shrimps, crabs so fresh, not even the one at Kota Kinabalu can be compared good as it was too. The DZ hostel lady staff was very helpful and can arrange for island trips at a reasonable price. The dorms are separated into boys and girls, something I truly appreciate. The bathrooms faced the afternoon sun, so they were dried easily and kept clean. Laundry by machine was offered free, a super plus for swimmers. The hostel also offered local Malay snack food for breakfast, and coffee or tea were always available. To be honest, it's a good budget place to stay while splurging on the island tours. It's a bit sad that no cooking is allowed here, even though there was a kitchen. Sad because the seafood mentioned above was so available. The facade of the building is nothing to boast about, and like many places, the external (streets, pavement, eyc) can be a mess. That should not deter visiting this part of the world mainly because the sea in this area is astoundingly replenished with marine life.
Overall it is great budget stay with a clean bed and clean bathroom. The bag storage is considered good for backpacking only🤗
They have a comfy living room to wait for early check out, or you just can drop off your keys for seamlessly check out experience👍
Good value of money✅
Hotel location is good, right in front of the public jetty. Nearby have many seafood restaurants, pharmacy and supermarket, mamak stalls. Very convenient, all walking distance, don't really need a car to move around.
Standard Room is ok, size -wise. However, the room is abit dirty as the floor is very sticky. Toilet is basic, quite run-down. You need to climb one flight of stairs, so make sure you nothing too heavy.
Sometimes you'll have the smell / smoke from the seafood restaurant downstairs in the hallway.
Very thin walls, can easily hear other guests' noise.
very nice hostel, free laundry and big confort area. i liked to buy postcards and stamps. nice clean rooms with air condition. highly recommend to stay here. organize airport transfer or tours as well
I love it, affordable with price and place. Near to Imago Shopping Mall.

ผผู้เข้าพักhye. the lady at front counter very amazing, very friendly and helpful. the room is also tidy, just nice for 1-2 traveller. however, there are some amenities that are broken..the plug in the room is broken, so i can only use one plug. and the door at the ladies toilet also broken and very dangerous because it can. falll and hit others. i hope the technical and management team are aware of this. they need to check often. other than that im satisfied. especially the location since it is very very near to the entrance of imago mall.

ผผู้เข้าพักVery clean hotel, compared to some other hotels in the vicinity. The rooms are very small and not suitable for couples who are not used to being confined together.
Bathroom only has a rack for towels. Bring a hanger. There is no closet.
If you have heavy luggage, ask for ground floor. There is no lift.

ผผู้เข้าพักAffordable. The price suits the stay. The beds are ok. Towels provided. Only that the heater is making an irritable sound when in use. Overall, i would rate it 6.5 out of 10.
