The location is very convenient for finding good restaurants and Orange/711. The cleaness is ok. Water pressure is very good. 24h front desk and safe luggage drop service before checkin and after checkout. The price is very fair for this stay.

The shower is not separated from the toilet. They don't provide rubbish bins outside the lobby, so you needs to be careful that when u smoking no littering allowed on the ground. Caps will fine u 30RM if caught. Give u this waning cause I were caught though I think they only target for tourists especially in the morning.

I love the smell of the hotel lobby! Front desk assistance were so nice and helpful! They cater for my late check in efficiently. The room was good and enough and the price justified for the space that you get. On my last day, my flight were delayed and they are so generous extending my checkout for one and a half hour without any charges. They also are willing to keep my luggage for a while for me to catch up some lunch. Overall very nice, strategic and wonderful experience here! Not to mention this place is at the centre of KK and everywhere is 10 mins walk away!

The shower pipe were somehow dirty and have some residue that needed to be clean up. But no worries just make your way to the front desk and ask for their assistance. Would be nice to be able to call the front desk from room instead of having to come down. But no worries it's only 3 floor. Room can be quite noisy and can hear other people when they walk/children playing outside.

great location right in the heart of town. rooms were clean and comfortable. they provided coffee and tea for a budget hotel which is unexpected. having a water cooler at the lobby was a nice touch as it was very hot during our stay. So to have ice cold water to cool you down was a plus.

nothing much to complain about for the price we paid, but if there was anything to nitpick, we can only say the rooms were a little small, but still adequate. The hotel cleverly has a long shelf just behind the door which is perfect for the small luggage. in the end even though the room was small, the right layout helped prevent the room from feeling small.

the location was great! most of the tourist spots are walking distance. Near to the Gaya Street Market. The staffs are welcoming and friendly, great value for money.

Nothing on the hotel, but one of the occupant smoke in the room (it is a non-smoking hotel) and I think due to the ventilation and the aircond system, our room was filled with cigarette's smell from that room and it was suffocating to breath! Luckily the staffs were accomodating and gave us another room to sleep for couple of hours before we checked out for our early morning flight. Hopefully the hotel management can be more strict with the 'no smoking policy'.

Good value for money. Location is good. You can find lots of eateries, banks and malls within 300m radius. Amenties in the room are adequate and level of cleanliness is acceptable. My room has usb port.

Separation of shower and wash basin/ toilet is by a plastic curtain that hangs about 3 feet off the ground and so expect water to splash all over the bathroom. Water pressure is good.

1. At the center of Kota Kinabalu. 2. Near to eatry places 3. Hospitality of the staff is really amazing 4. Clean room 5. Although the hotel located in the middle of the town, its quit quite at night. 6. Room aminities is just enough 7. Good room service (change towel, and top up the tea! Even they ask me if I want to clean my room via whatsapp! Very convenience.) 8. Cancelation policy very flexible.

1. Small room, but if you’re travel alone its should be OK. 2. Water stagnates on the floor of the bathroom after shower and quite sometimes. Management should look in to this. Quite danger if the bathroom floor slippery. 3. Bad signal of the internet on mobile phone. Alternatively the hotel provides the wifi. I’ll prefer to use my own internet connection rather than wifi provide by hotel for security reason.

Room is clean and neat, with comfortable bed and pillow. WiFi is strong. Electric kettle and fridge provided, with coffee/tea sachets, but instead of proper cups, disposable ones were given. Ample electric sockets. Bathroom is bright and spacious, and heater with extremely hot water, good for rain shower. Room is facing the main street but it's not noisy at all. There's oven and water dispenser at its lobby. Check-in/out procedure is smooth. Staff are courteous. Very centralized location, within walking distance to almost anywhere around the city center. Close proximity to morning and night markets, and ample restaurants and eateries nearby. For self-drive, there's street parking, but could be a challenge finding a lot, depending on what time of the day. Value for money for the room rate we paid.

Room itself is a bit dim even with all lighting on, and strangely the window curtains couldn't be raised up. A bit difficult to open our luggage on the floor due to space constrain. Even with shower curtain drawn, the entire bathroom floor would be wet after showering. Leftover drinks from other guest not cleared from the fridge.

Whole design concept of the hotel, both exterior and interior. Especially appreciate the complementary coffee pods provided at the lobby. A huge thumbs up for that.

Requires more detailed housekeeping, especially the toilet seat which was still watery and yellow upon entering the room. Also, it seems like the floor was stained with water. Not sure if whether that was the style or it was just dirty. Hope the hotel management can look into it. My room number for the stay is 302

The location was central, and the entire impression of the hotel was quite clean and well managed. The staff were really helpful and friendly as well. The hotel doors are also locked after 10pm, which provides additional security to guests.

I think the one thing I wish that would change is having a designated space for drop off and pick up. It was always quite stressful getting in and out of a Grab 😂
