Suharevka (Lenin Hostel) in Kota Kinabalu, Venaja

The room was not clean at all, and there was so much noise in the hostel that it was impossible to sleep. The promised kitchen facilities were absent- the few plates & utensils were all dirty. The staff was not interrested in improving these matters. We left had booked five days at the hostel, but left after one night. The staff did not act surprised that we left, and did not ask why. We have stayed in many hostels around the world, and have never tried anything as bad as this. Kenneth Grønkjær, from Denmark ~ 20th Jul 2011
