I stayed here for 8 nights in the dorm, and left my luggage in the storage room for 5 nights. It was well priced (a little cheaper than most other hostels), efficiently run (they never lost track of payments, bed was made everyday and a fresh towel everyday), flexible (I didn't have to give too much warning if I wanted...

I can't fault this hostel. Friendly staff, free wifi, good air con, close proximity to city. The price is very competitive, and with cable TV and free tea/coffee and toast each morning, it's everything you need and nothing you don't.

A very good hostel. I used the dorms and private room here. The place is spotlessly clean with very friendly, helpful staff (24hrs a day). Free wifi is provided. There are 3 toilets and 5 showers so never really needed to wait. The location is about 5 mins walk from the centre point mall, sea front bars and 10 mins... More

every thing is clean, house keeping everyday, even change the bed sheet every two day. any way, so good=))) the shower room is great too, the water is hot enough and strong, provides shampoo and body wash. breakfast is so awesome, the toast is yuming, with special sauce. the most important is that you can eat them all the time!!...

We stayed at Masada Backpacker three different times whilst travelling around Sabah. Initially, we had only booked once, but as we enjoyed it so much the first time, we decided to stay again. We stayed in both the dorm rooms and a private twin room. Both were equally comfortable. The beds and pillows are the most comfortable we came across... More

Everything is good, staffs was so amazing, helpful and friendly. I feel funny as most Malaysian especially chinese from Malaysia/KL complain about the staff for not being nice or more "forward" towards them as they actually are really welcoming and lovely. The only contra is the WiFi. It always disconnected and then always need to be resetted, multiple times a... More

LEAST:Surrounding "shops" feel dodgy when... More

I arrived in Kota Kinabalu after months travelling South East Asia and am so delighted to have chosen Masada Backpackers. I used this hostel as my base in Sabah for over three weeks and have not stayed anywhere as clean or comfortable since leaving home and paying Irish (expensive) rates - this quality of service and accommodation normally costs quite...

I was absolutely happy with my stay in Masada. Everyone was so nice, friendly, very helpfull, rooms are great, very clean and not expensive. I wouldn't even call it backpacker because I haven't seen such a good backpacker anywhere in the world. I can definitely recommend.
