    Free WiFi: Staying at this hostel was like being a superhero with lightning-fast powers. The WiFi was so quick, I could download movies in a flash, saving the day when boredom struck.

    Limited breakfast options: The breakfast selection was a little like a magician's disappearing act. With only a small pack of crackers and two instant coffee drinks, it left me craving for more variety.

    Very clean rooms and lovely toilets with hot water and toiletries. Great location - right in the center of the city. Friendly and helpful staff - especially Leonard - the site manager. They arranged breakfast for us even though we had to leave early. The lounge room with Netflix was a great way to unwind after a busy day.

    Can just recommend.

    I absolutely loved staying at this hostel! The double capsule was comfortable and had private sockets and light. The morning complimentary breakfast was delicious, with the option to boil your own Malaysian style eggs. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful. The whole property was very clean. The location was great, close to markets and within walking distance to the pier. It was easy to meet new people in the small but cozy lounge area.

    I felt very lucky, no complaints at all.

    The guest room at Signel Hostel was cozy and comfortable, with a shared bathroom that was always clean. The 32-inch LCD TV with cable channels provided great entertainment, and the free toiletries made me feel pampered. I loved the complimentary in-room WiFi, which allowed me to stay connected with ease.

    Personally, I would have preferred to have a private bathroom instead of a shared one.

    Great value for money, comfortable rooms, and fantastic location near the waterfront and night market. The staff were extremely helpful, providing recommendations and even letting us stay in the same bed when we needed to extend our stay due to illness.

    The breakfast selection could have been better, but that didn't dampen our overall experience.

    The guest rooms at Signel Hostel are cozy and comfortable. The shared bathroom is clean and well-maintained, and the bed linen is fresh and crisp. I loved the 32-inch LCD TV with cable channels, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The complimentary toiletries were a nice touch, and the free in-room WiFi allowed me to stay connected throughout my stay.

    One thing I didn't particularly like was the hairdryer in the bathroom. It didn't work as well as I expected, but that's just my personal opinion.

    The staff at Signel Hostel were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. The location, while not impressive from the outside, was actually quite cute and cozy once inside. The lounge room was a great place to relax and watch TV. The hostel was also very clean throughout. we had a pleasant stay.

    the location is incredibly central, making it convenient to explore the city. the beds were so comfortable, and the cleanliness of the hostel was exceptional. the staff were truly amazing, providing us with fantastic advice on local attractions and helping us with our travel arrangements. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Another great feature was the close proximity to the dock, which made it easy for us to embark on sightseeing trips at sea. there are supermarkets and restaurants nearby, making it convenient to get everything we needed. the room itself was a great value for money, with a separate small compartment. we had a fantastic experience at this hostel. Cons: Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like 😊.

    The hostel's interior is cute and cozy, and offers a lounge room for relaxing and watching TV. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with lovely toilets equipped with hot water and toiletries. The location is convenient, with nearby business establishments and malls. The breakfast is good, and there is a balcony for smoking or enjoying a meal with a view of the city.

    We loved our stay at this hostel! The location is very central, near almost everything. We were able to easily explore the city, and we even walked to the nearby night market where we had a really good time. The hostel was spotlessly clean, and the rooms were super clean too. The beds were very comfortable, and we had a great night's sleep. The staff were especially wonderful - they were so kind and friendly and did everything they could to help us. They gave us lots of great advice on places to go and things to see in this city. Plus, the hostel had great facilities like free flow drinking water, personal locker storage, and a TV room. our stay was fantastic and we highly recommend staying here!

    Everything was fantastic.

    We had a fantastic time staying at this hostel. Its location was perfect, being close to the lively night market where we had a blast exploring local delicacies. it was conveniently situated near markets and the city center, making it easy for us to explore everything. the room was clean and cozy, providing a comfortable stay. the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. We also appreciated the decent breakfast they offered.

    There were occasional inconveniences with the toilet, requiring us to use a water ladle to flush, which was not very convenient.

    Jeff, the staff, was super nice and helped me switch to a girl's room. The location is super convenient with nearby supermarkets and a night market. Also, only a 15-minute walk from the diving pier, making for a really happy travel time. Will definitely choose this place again next time I visit!
