Excellent

Not the most soundproof place. As it’s on the same street with various bars and restaurants, be prepared to have live music permeating through the walls until 11pm. Besides that, the place is okay. Just the floor is not cleaned.
I had a seaview twin room. The room was immaculately clean, had enough space, was conveniently located, and although just above the busy waterfront, it wasn't noisy at all. I would definitely recommend paying extra for the seaview room, makes a lot of difference (as I had also stayed at a street facing room previously).
Served the purpose for what I needed it for, to go to Mabul. This place is actually ok however it’s super noisy due to the restaurants down stairs that seem to go for 24 hours. Also as they are all fish restaurants, the smell is just awful, which I could smell in the room. The staff weren’t particularly helpful for a hostel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff is super responsive and helpful to get us shared mini van service from airport to hotel for 40rm per pax. The sound of rain is super loud the surrounding shops uses metal cover. Well located with nearby 7/11, massage and food.
Clean, convenient location with aircon rooms. Great place for before/after island diving trips.
Overpriced for what it was though.
Bathroom was a bit dungeon-like. No lifts. Noisy late at night with all the shops closing up.
DO NOT JOIN ANY TOUR FROM THEM!!
we stayed with them for 2 nights. Everything was fine. But the last day we booked a tour with them which led us to police station because of incompetency of the management.
Their boat is in terrible shape and the captain incompetent. All most ran aground in the sand banks. Finally arrived to the "island" but turned out it’s some private resort doesn’t allow us to get in. OK fine let's snorkel.. No equipment my size.. we have to go to another island to get equipment and lunch, then dive around below area....
the guides are part of the litter problem since they throw bottles/cigarette buds overboard.. The captain poured engine oil straight in to the ocean. Also we are sitting with the fuel dunks.
Sad last day in this beautiful but over littered place.. but they only can blame themselves.
After the lunch they sent us home separately. So we didn’t have any promised experience as we paid for. Then we have to talk to hotel staff where we paid. Before they cared anything else, they only claimed they don’t do refunds. And sent us to police station if we want to report.
What a place.
Really good place to stay in Semporna (my boyfriend and I stayed in a double room)! Good location (really close to the jetty). Nice decor and very clean inside. The staff were very helpful and helped us to arrnage the transfer from Semporna to Tawau airport. If ever had to go back to Semporna, would definitely stay here again. One thing that I thought was a bit unusual is that the breakfast is only available between 8.30 and 9.30, so we’ve almost missed it.
Nice view and room renovation/ decoration.
However bad breakfast.
Downstairs has many seafood restaurants for dinner.

We Travel with 2A2C stay here @ 15th Nov. 2018. One night stay in queen bed sea view room. The room is quit big, have balcony. Cos the price quite expensive. so we bring our sleeping bag for kids (7&9y). The room have it own toilet & bath. But the room clean is not so good (7/10). Comfort of bed is (7/10). The room brick wall is just an wall paper & floor is just Timber pattern Veneer carpet. But it give nice mood. The facility in room was good enough. The breakfast is just OK (normal bread, boil egg, sausage & some biscuit) & is not enough for guess. Base on the price we pay on this cube bed, they shout prepare more than this. Can be improve more. The staff is nice. When we check out the next day morning, we went to a trip, we back on 3.30pm, they let us take shower at their public shower room. The ground Reception & public area have nice mood. That the best part. Can take some picture there & have some table game there. Overall was OK only for me.
Staff are friendly.room clean and the location is very good.Quietly sleeping very well.Braekfast is also good. The restaurant is just outside the beach.
I arrived at Cube Bed Station late in the night and their staff are really helpful and hospitable. After check-in I realized I left my wallet on the taxi from Tawau airport to Semporna. The staff helped me contact the taxi company and then called up all drivers heading from Tawau to Semporna that night. Eventually they helped me find the taxi I was on, and asked the driver to bring it to the hostel. Undoubtedly the best service I could ask for. I highly recommend Cube Bed Station to anyone who would be staying at Semporna for some diving activity.
All the staff was very friendly and polite and always there to help us with anything. The room was clean, comfortable bed and pillows, good AC. In the chaotic and dirty Semporna, CUBE was our little comfort safe clean zone.Also the wi-fi was working really good all the time which is a big plus.
The guys at the hotel arranged the bus transfer for us from Tawau for a really good price and also a day trip to Tun Sakaran Marine park.
Very cozy room and very clean. We really appreciate it when it's this clean. WiFi didn't work at all though and the bedlights or TV didn't work either which drops down the rating just a bit. Staff didn't understand much either when I asked about the internet but other than that the stay was really good. Perfect for a few nights.
