Mostly a hopping off point for the rest of Sabah, but actually quite a pleasant city in itself. Away from the pedestrian-unfriendly highways there's cute, leafy backstreets with little cafe's, and a bright seafront promenade with a giant statue of a swordfish. I had a good nose about in the shops and markets.
The hostel is called Tropicana. It's nice, and clean, and has a restaurant attached. The staff are friendly, but spend all of their time glued to the TV downstairs - you feel like you're interrupting them when you ask for something! I was the only person in my dorm room. The other (female) dorm was occupied by three young, giggly English girls, who had been trekking in the Philippines, and could hardly walk - literally limping around the hostel.
I only have two photos for you at the moment :)
