I arrived here around midday looking to book a dorm bed. I had one of their fliers from Kota Kinabalu that stated it was 20RM a night per person. When I checked in they charged me 30RM (no breakfast included) and told me that flier was old and there was nothing they could do. She actually laughed at me when... More

Having found out about Rose Cabin in the Lonely Planet guide we all expected it to be much better than it was. We are not fussy travelers and are fine with basic hostels, however, it was like staying in somewhere that wasn't finished yet, or worse still that needed vital refurbishment but they just hadn't bothered with it. The three... More

We stayed here in march 2010 as part of a package with a climb atop mt Kinabalu. I believe most guests who stay here do so for that very same reason (or perhaps to visit Kinabalu park). That said, it's really very basic and simply a place to crash for the night. The room itself was very shabby and the... More

Room was OK but i got paranoid with the water heater and the sound of people talking loud outside your bedroom. Food not so OK but what do you expect from the mountain place like this? Car park was ok and got compound for BBQ... also can visit the fruit and veges orchard at the back of the resort.

I spent a night here for the first time just to unwind from city life. From reviews read & passed this place many years ago, I knew this is an old lodging place. Still, I went for it because it's 2km away from Kinabalu National Park & I got a mountain view room. That put asides my high expectations. High... More

We just wanted somewhere to crash for the night after we’d climbed Kinabalu and were resentful of the amount of cash the Sutera mountain monopoly had sucked out of us, so rejected the extorionate in-park options. This place has the perfect location - a 5 min 10RM taxi from the Park HQ, with knock-out view of the mountain and surrounding... More

We stayed here awaiting our start to trek up the mountain and were impressed by the overall room and facilities. Reasonable cost and basic but tasty food available. We also got the local bus to the town/park entrance for RM1 and had even better food in view of the mountain. Overall, great for the cost and view that you get!

We were not climbing the mountain, but we wanted a good view and this place delivered on the view (little balconies out the back of each room guarantee you can at least see the clouds, if not the mountain itself). It's fairly old fashioned but clean and functioning. Nice touch of having hot and cold water available. 2km from Park... More
