Recce - Borneo Backpackers

Pros
  • 100% backpackers-styled accommodation
  • Located right smack in the city
  • Easily accessible to attractions like Filipino Market, Night Market, the Waterfront, shops, banks, etc
  • Suitable location for pick-up by agent for our rafting and climbing activities
  • Generally clean and cosy
  • Suggested rooms to book by Borneo Backpackers (first night deposit of RM 650 needed, if for 26 pax say yes):
    • 1 Large Dorm (10 beds) - female
    • 1 Medium Dorm (6 beds) - female
    • 1 Large Dorm (10 beds) - male
  • Free airport transfers (for arrival only) can be arranged
  • RM 25 per pax, per night x 3 nights = RM 75.00 per pax

 Cons
  • Common bathroom - limited available so there's definitely a need for waking up early to bath, to avoid 'congestion'
  • It's backpackers-styled, meaning... it cannot be compared to Tune Hotels (or any hotels for that matter) and the such in terms of room deco, etc
 Some pictures for your viewing and judgement...
