Faloe Hostel is set in Kota Kinabalu, within 1.8 km of Filipino Market Sabah and 4.1 km of Sabah State Museum & Heritage Village. The property is located 5.7 km from North Borneo Railway, 8.2 km from Likas City Mosque and 11 km from International Technology & Commercial Centre Penampang - ITCC. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a shared lounge and organising tours for guests. Faloe is by far the best hostel in Malaysia. We stayed there for a week before going to Brunei and we loved it so much that we came back afterwards. The place is brand new, super clean, very well built and organized. The staff are mega friendly and helpful and travelers were also amazing. They provide you with free water, coffee and tea and if you want to cook basic stuff (like boil some eggs and toast some bread, they make it available as well). The beds were absolutely comfortable and clean - we stayed in the double bed dorm, then in the single bed dorm and finally on a private room as they upgraded our room. They have laundry machines for you to use very affordable and the Wi-Fi was very good (we were there working most of the time). Fully recommend and I could have stayed much more!
