Travelling on a budget to Sabah is easy thanks to the abundance of affordable halal food and sightseeing spots. Accommodations? There are also plenty of budget hostels in Kota Kinabalu that'll cater to your travel needs and budget. If you're planning a trip to the capital city of Sabah, this accommodation might be the one you're looking for.
You can find your home away from home at Toojou, an Instagram-worthy co-living space in Kota Kinabalu. Named after Tuju, a Malay word for 'destination', this accommodation provides more than just comfortable capsule beds and studio rooms to stay in. It also has a stylish co-working space, which we're excited to share in the latter part of this feature.
Rooms
If you're travelling solo or with a group of friends to Kota Kinabalu, book a capsule bed (available in 4, 6 or 8 shared capsules). Besides having curtains for extra privacy, each capsule is fitted with a reading light, multi-power sockets with USB ports, clothes-hanging unit as well as lock-up storage and a shoe locker. For female solo travellers, you can also request to stay in a female-only capsule.
Perfect for anyone who prefers privacy, the Studio room is the one for you. Some rooms come with or without a window, so be sure to double-check your reservations before booking. Aside from having a comfortable bed to rest for the night, the Studio room comes with complimentary Wi-Fi, fluffy towels, en-suite bathroom, Bluetooth speakers and more.
Co-working space
An interesting feature about Toojou is the co-working space that can be accessed by hotel guests for free (non-hotel guests can pay a daily rate of RM30)! Creative nomads can use this space to discuss new ideas and catch up on work emails. Sprawled with hanging light fixtures, soft pillows and vibrant bean bags, this co-working space has plenty of perks including complimentary coffee and snacks, usage of business printer, complimentary Wi-Fi and more.
If you need a break from answering a bunch of work emails, there are foosball and snooker tables where you can take a break or get competitive with a new friend.
While there are many bright-coloured armchairs and couches to make yourself comfortable, Toojou has an amazingly cool slide that spirals from the upper to the lower floor. Who says a co-working space has to be dull and boring? ?
