Kota Kinabalu Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

We were in pain! Every muscle, ligiment, bone and blood vesel in our legs were ached, and the hotel had thought it a good idea to put us on the 4th floor of the building, some 8 flights of stairs up. With thighs throbbing and weak knees we had made it up to bed and slept like babies, only waking to the usual street noise outside. After an enormo...

Hey guys, hope you're all good! We've spent the past five days or so in beautiful Borneo and wanted to give you an update on our adventures! We started off our time here staying at the homely Tropicana Lodge hostel in the capital Kota Kinabalu. When the crazy owner Vincent picked us up from the airport reeking of booze we knew we were in for an ...

We then located the only wine bar in KK and ended the evening ...

Today I completed my greatest achievement of my trip so far, climbing Mount Kinabalu...the highest mountain in SE Asia at a whopping 4101m high. I started of the first day meeting my guide (Jomus), with not so early start of 8am....buy the time we got to the foot of the walk we were about 1000m high and started the climb around midday. For the n...

Arriving (finally!) in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, meant yet another stamp in the passport, totaling about 4 since hitting Malaysian soil 3 weeks ago. KK is quite different to Kuching (capital of Sarawak). Here it seems a little more western, more traffic, bars and poorer. (didn't see any beggers in Kuching). The "Coffee Bean" here became a favourite ...
