    The location of the hostel was perfect, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. It was also close to the night market and Gaya street, making it easy to explore the area. the hostel had great amenities, such as a water dispenser and coffee machine available to guests at all times. It was a nice bonus to have free drinking water and aromatic coffee whenever I wanted. - I really appreciated the house-keeping service at the hostel. It was a pleasant surprise to return to a made bed in the evening.

    That my room didn't have a window, which became an issue after a few nights. It would have been nice to have some natural light in the room.

    I recently stayed at Masada in KK for 10 nights during my medical electives. The hostel was clean and the beds were really comfy. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the boss even took us on a tour to Kinabalu National Park, which was really enjoyable. The location was great, just a short walk to the night market and waterfront. The atmosphere at Masada was chilled out and the aircon in the rooms was good. it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this hostel.

    During my recent stay at Masada Bed & Breakfast, I was impressed with the central location. It was conveniently situated near various attractions, restaurants, and shopping malls. The proximity to Atkinson Grand Tower and Station Hill Observatory allowed me to easily explore the area. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the facilities, including the toilets, hallways, and rooms. I appreciated the effort to maintain a hygienic environment by requiring guests to leave their shoes at the door.

    Clean and comfortable rooms with power sockets and lights at each bed. Convenient location near tourist attractions and 5-minute walk from the airport bus stop. Friendly staff and enjoyable tours offered. Great value for money.

    Absolutely nothing.

    The location was also great, with convenience stores and restaurants nearby. The breakfast provided was simple but delicious, and the flexible timing from 6 am to 12 pm was perfect for early risers or those who prefer to sleep in. The cleanliness of both the room and bathroom was exceptional, and the added bonus of a free washing machine was greatly appreciated. Despite a few minor inconveniences such as inconveniently located outlets and occasional noise from a nearby bar, our overall stay was fantastic. With its helpful staff, great location, and clean facilities, Masada Bed & Breakfast is definitely a place I would recommend.

    We were impressed with the excellent location of the hotel, just a short walk from the airport bus stop and close to various convenient stores and food establishments. The hostel offered informative day tours to explore the beautiful surroundings of Sabah. The cleanliness of the room and the facilities exceeded our expectations, and we were pleasantly surprised to find our bed made when we returned in the evening. The inclusive breakfast was simple but satisfying, and we appreciated the free drinking water and coffee available all day. The owners, Peter and Kelly, were incredibly hospitable and provided valuable advice for our travels. we had a great experience and would highly recommend this hidden gem.

    Our stay at Masada was great value for money. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect with easy access to the night market and waterfront. The staff, especially Miss A, were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

    Hotel breakfast could be improved with a wider variety of options.

    The hostel's location is ideal, right next to the bus station and with a 24-hour Indian restaurant just a minute away. the staff is friendly and helpful, offering a free ride to the airport and prompt assistance during emergencies. the rooms are comfortable with powerful AC and clean shared facilities. the breakfast includes freshly brewed coffee and a variety of toast, cereal, jam, and butter. There is also a free washing machine available.

    Friendly and helpful staff in a great location. Clean and versatile space- always space free in the communal areas and great having breakfast till noon.

    No window in the room was uncomfortable for me and the plastic wrap left on the mattress made for a sweaty night with only a thin sheet over it.

    I had a great stay at Masada Bed & Breakfast. The location was perfect, with everything within walking distance and the airport bus stopping nearby. The room was comfortable, and I especially loved the spaciousness of the quadruple room. The shared bathrooms were clean and separated from the shower, which was a nice touch. The staff were helpful and provided lots of useful information about the city. I highly recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hotel was perfect, very close to the city center and within walking distance to various restaurants. the rooms were clean and comfortable, with soft beds that ensured a good night's sleep. the free WiFi provided was fast and reliable, allowing me to stay connected throughout my business trip.

    One drawback was the WiFi, which wasn't the best and the staff couldn't provide an alternative option. the breakfast was also quite simple, nothing too special.
