Best Hostel in Kota Kinabalu!”

My cousin and I super loved our stay in dock in! It is just a few minutes away from the airport and from the city proper. The hostel is really nice, with beautiful interior! The room, toilet, and bathrooms are all clean and well-maintained. What we loved the most is the cafe at the lobby where we get to hang out in the morning while waiting for our tour, and then in the afternoon after the tour until the evening. The cafe is very cosy and serves really good food and coffee!! The staff are also very friendly! Definitely the best accomodation in Kota for a very low price! Worth it! Highly recommended!

Value for money, clean and comfortable”

The dorm mates (mother and daughter) were a bit noisy close to sleeping hours and in the morning with their packing and zipping. Aside from that, another dorm mate wanted to switch off the aircond in the room as it is blowing directly to her bed (the temperature control has to be done at the reception area). Overall, it is a nice, clean, comfortable place to spend the nights, decent in-house cafe with food and drinks, plenty of local food options within 5 minutes walking distance, close to the beach for sunrise and sunset view.

Overall ”

It’s a good place to rest. Beds were comfy and so were the pillows. Though you can hear the airplanes, your sleep is not disturbed as the sleeping area is super comfortable. The lockers were downstairs making it slight tedious to go down and up for our when we wanted to get items from our luggage. This wasn’t a problem as you can also put your items upstairs in your room, but lost items wouldn’t be compensated. Overall, I’ll definitely stay here if I come back to KK. Beautiful place to stay 🥰

This is one of the best locations in the area.”

I love the design and setup. Modern and clean. Better than local hotels which charge five times as much and don't offer anything in return. It is only until you get into brand new condo build outs or 4 star hotels that can even match this highly thought out hostel concept in this area. I say concept because Dock In is something refreshing and experimental. I highly recommend.

Clean, safe, friendly staff. Good for solo traveller ”

Dock in hostel has a very pleasant environment. The capsule is spacious enough, and comfortable. The room and the toilet, bathrooms are very clean and comfortable. The staffs arr friendly. And its aways from the city, more quiet, and can see staff at the counter almost 24 hours. Kinda safe for female solo traveller. Highly recommended.

Excellent value for money”

Excellent coffee, very modern, staff friendly. Wish l could off got the large TV near cafe to work. But couldn't, probably my fault. I like this place a lot l am a cyclist and their was a great cycle route into town. This was an excellent place to relax. The young receptionist was very friendly and would tell me where to go. Near the dock inn where long house and large concrete piers too observe the house from which was interesting. Also the tanjung Aru beach where a lot of Chinese gathered at sunset and it was near The Sutera harbour resort again l found interesting.

I love the atmosphere of this hostel. Everything is quite new and clean. The staff were friendly, the food was good, and there's comfy sofas where u can just relax. The beds are comfortable and the toilets are well maintained. Definitely recommend this place!

Extremely Recommended”

I have stayed here more than 3 to 4 times because of its cheap, super clean especially the toilet is always clean, strategically located (5 minutes to Imago by car), delicious cafe & coffee (really like it), the atmosphere ohh myy I love it, the PERFECT HOSTEL I ever been with the minimalist and modern interior design ( I can say its a 5 STAR HOSTEL).

Superb Clean and comfortable”

the room, toilet and bathroom is super clean. is the best choice for bagpacker. although a bit far away from city, but very near to airport. it is super convenience to car traveller, the hostel got provide car park

Pleasant and helpful staffs”

Been here multiple times and it was an unfortunate experience this time to encounter a group of uncourteous and inconsiderate guests who stayed opposite to our private bunk, having NO SENSE and made loud noises, sang in the bathroom (a duet, maybe a trio) and even smoked in the room when we were already asleep (it was 12 midnight when these happened altogether)! We were awakened by these noises and cigarette smoke and complaint was lodged instantaneously. Problem was solved within 15 minutes and no similar event recurred the next night. Credit to all the staffs on their efficiency in managing problems and a special mention to Lea! Thanks! Perhaps in the future, hostel management should consider getting this type of monkeys heavily fined for disobeying the rules set and also, for the comfort of other guests.

super clean and comfortable”

its systematic, its safe, cozy and clean, staff are helpful and polite, high speed internet, theres also cafeteria inside.. its a nice place..definitely book again here!

Value for money for the hostel like this”

Good hostel and I always stay here overnight when I need to catch up next morning flight in kkia. Near to airport and they have some shops nearby if you need something to eat. Facilities inside are enough for the basic things you need in a hostel and quite ok for privacy. Recommended.

excellence”

i loved waking up early and walking the side back road behind dock in directly to the beach, no traffic. Dock in has all the creature comforts and so close to nature. dorm room designed for privacy

Comfortable and value for money”

The location is within walking distance to Tg. Aru beach, plenty of food choices nearby although it is not located at the town centre, you can always take Grab to reach your destination. There is a cafe at lobby area for guests and outsiders.

Comfortable stay”

Clean and comfortable bed. Special shout out to the receptionist, Lia, who is friendly and helpful. Will keeo coming back. Coffee is great!

Good relaxation place.”

All the facility are very clean. Food are abundantly available nearby though the cafeteria is only open around 10am.. My boy also loves it

The best ”

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed. I stay here every single weekend when I come to KK. Very clean and comfortable

Superb!”

Been staying here a few times so far I don't find any problems staying in. Its near airport (7mins drive). The only concern is you may need to request for grab/taxi to go to the other places. Overall the staying experience was excellent.

The future of hostel”

This hostel is quiet like a high-end hotel the locker and towel is good. Have curtain for every bed good bathroom and restroom Lobby is good u can have coffee and nice food and very big sofa for guests

Exceptional”

I wish their café open more early than 11am. if its open maybe around 7am/8am, it would be nice if we can have a cup of coffee before we check out. ( for those a little rushing traveller). overall, its all good
