booked a non-smoking room, but unfortunately, the room reeked of cigarette smoke. The toilet wasn't properly cleaned, still had an unpleasant odor, and wasn’t flushed properly. Even the towels smelled of cigarette smoke. The housekeeping definitely needs improvement.
On a positive note, the customer service was satisfactory, and the hotel is in a convenient location with easy access to restaurants, shopping malls, and markets. Despite the cleanliness issues, the hotel has a strategic location, good amenities, and ensures safety and privacy for its guests. Overall, it was an okay stay, but the cleanliness was a major drawback. I would rate it 3/5 based on my experience here.

We booked this accommodation for 4nights. Everything in general was ok.
Location wise - near to airport (about 15~20mins depending on traffic)
Environment of the building was so-so. quite dirty (trash was everywhere, i even see rats running) but opp was KK plaza (they have a supermarket which is good)
There is convenience store just below the building.
Reception lady was very nice when we checked in, she passed us the key and inform us to contact them via whatsapp if we need any assistance.
It is a very hectic place as whenever it is check-in time/check-out time, people will flood the lobby area and especially the lift. You can take up to 10~ 20mins waiting for the lift.
We picked the sea-view room and it was big and nice, superb view of the sea & island!! There is even a small balcony.
Even thou there is no place for cooking..but there were bowls/cups/utensils for us to use.
There is also a sink but we did not use much as it was choked since we checked in.
We had a little trouble operating the heater shower, but the hosts were prompt to give us instructions on how to use it. Only flaw is the water is too low.
Other than that, It was a comfortable stay overall.

Good service offer over WhatsApp, swiftly response to answer my queries. Providing clear guide on how to do self check in, and returning keys. The room is clean and well maintained, spacious.
The only suggestion is why not providing WIFI, and the toilet ventilation can be improved, have no idea after toilet flushing, the sting smell stay.
Overall is good, especially good guidance and response. Ty!

So far, for my one night stay, every aspect was excellent. The location of the hotel was strategic as I could go downstairs and roamed the mall, its also walking distance to Gaya Street. I was assigned to room 732. The furniture inside the room was functioning aside from the loud noise coming from the mini fridge, as I am a light sleeper, that bothers me a bit. The service is top notch, all the staff were friendly and accommodating to my needs. The breakfast was 5/5, they offer loads of variety 👍🏻. The only downside is that you need to wait awhile for the aircond to fully cool the room, around 15-20 minutes, I think they use central aircond from the lobby, but I'm not sure.

Overall, our stay was okay. The room was clean, and the facilities were decent. However, we were disappointed by the loud noise coming from other rooms at 3 AM, which disrupted our sleep. It would be great if the hotel could improve soundproofing or enforce quiet hours more strictly. Other than that, the experience was fine.

Book this room 2 days before so the price is reasonable. The place is quite far from Kota Kinabalu City. The room is ok to sleep. Same like picture. No private parking of course. Just hotel to sleep but at cheap price.

GGuest UserCentral location with restaurants and market nearby, clean comfy bed with a small lamp, shelf and hangers. Especially liked the small but nice window beside the bed, it really makes the place more spacious and bright. A bit small common area and kitchen with basic utensils and a fridge available. Smooth check in/out, allow you to drop luggage before check in. Clean toilets but wish there was only 1 female toilet and 2 unisex bathrooms, so it can be inconvenient at times. Staff and the guests were all kind and friendly. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was that the hotel confirmed my special request to arrange lower bed, but when I arrived they said lower beds were fully booked and could only give me the higher one. However it's a minor issue and understandable, and I like that they care about their service as they send email to ask for feedback after the stay. Overall a really good bargain!

TTravelwithSyazIts fine for a 2 night stay. There is designated parking (safe) which is very very important. The hotel did not provide iron in rooms but ironing room is on the 1st floor. Water dispenser provided in the hallway for public use.
Staff are very nice, friendly and helpful🫰🏻
We requested room service and my carrot pillow was really comfortable tucked in🥰😂

GGuest UserThe cover for the shower/toilet is not using a fully frosted door means you can see what people are doing inside of it. There is no lif and when we enter the room we were quite shocked that there was curtains but there were no windows. False hope. The girl in the counter also does not cater to our questions properly. It is encourage to improve you interactions with customers.
Also as suggestion to the hotel, please buy the coupon for the parking as the parking needs to be paid. Ease the matters for your travellers/stayers at your hotel. We bought the 10 tickets at the Majlis Perbandaran hut but we only used 1 coupon. When we went to visit other places, they did not used this coupon. We cannot buy only 1 ticket from the MPKK😅. What a waste of our time and money.
Another suggestion is do also provide 1 fridge for communal used as this hotel does not provide fridge inside the room. Thank you.

GGuest UserRoom is small and cozy. Bathroom is very small without separate shower cabin. When you take a shower the floor in the bathroom is completely wet. Shower pressure was good, water was hot. Hotel has an elevator. Location is close to shopping malls, Jesselton ferry terminal is 10 minutes away on foot.

JJohnThe A C inmy room works well ,the noise from karaoke om 4th floor can be disturbing, I counter that with cotton wool earbuds ,being corridors the air can get stagnant, worst thing is the noise the cleaners make in the mornings ,so if you like to lay in as I do beware, ove all for $18 a day its OK, for central position
