5 Minutes Airport Lodge

Kampong Patagas

Set within 7.6 km of Filipino Market Sabah and 3.3 km of North Borneo Railway, 5 Minutes Airport Lodge provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Kampong Patagas. The property is located 6.2 km from Sabah State Museum & Heritage Village, 8.6 km from International Technology & Commercial Centre Penampang - ITCC and 13 km from Likas City Mosque. The accommodation offers room service and a 24-hour front desk for guests.

At the inn, the rooms are equipped with a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a bidet and a hairdryer, rooms at 5 Minutes Airport Lodge also feature free WiFi. The staff were really helpful, even offered to help me book my taxi at 2am if I struggled but luckily it was easy enough to find a grab car to get to the airport! The room was exactly as expected, basic but comfortable and clean. And the hotel was an easy 15 minute walk from the airport, just across the highway - there is a walking bridge, which I did during the day.
