Let me talk about the advantages first: good location, very convenient surroundings
The complaint is that there are apartments of various brands in the building, the elevator is very slow, usually you have to wait for 5-10 minutes
We will add WeChat before checking in, communicate in English throughout the process, the attitude is very average, the service awareness is not as good as Thailand
The biggest problem is the bathroom, the space is small and there is no curtain, so the water will splash everywhere; secondly, the water heater has a big problem. The top head can only produce cold water, and only the bottom one can produce hot water
We had to change to a mountain view room on the second night, but the water heater switch was not turned on. The child was anxious to take a shower and looked for a long time without instructions, which was also very strange!
In the end, I could only use WeChat to find customer service and ask someone to come to the door, but it was still leaking. The water output was very small and could only be used barely.
The overall experience was not very good. The shower in another self-service apartment we stayed in later was normal.
There is no conclusion after negotiating compensation with the other party
If you are used to staying in a hotel, it is recommended not to try it
It is self-service throughout the process, and the customer service response is not very timely, which is a bit strenuous.
Very Good

Location is plus, walking distance to Gaya Street and restaurants, convenient store. But finding a car park (public parking) is headache. Remember not to park wrong place - I got summon because of this.
Like the buffet breakfast. With the price charged, I am delighted by the options of offerings. Taste is average.
Shower area bigger is better, more comfortable.
Door sound proving if can be improved also better.

1) Reception can speak English that is so nice.
2) Room is clean but it is very small room.
3) Take a shower with hot water but it is VERY LOW WATER PRESSURE and very slowly. Suddenly it will STOP the hot water when you are taking a shower 🚿.
4) Breakfast is OK but the fruit is ONLY a little bit and NO re-fill.
5) Location is so far away from Gaya street.

I recently stayed at Tune Hotel and had a very pleasant experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were friendly, professional, and efficient, ensuring a smooth check-in process. The hotel offers great value for money, especially for budget-conscious travelers who still want comfort and cleanliness. The room was compact but very well-designed, with a comfortable bed, clean linens, and strong air conditioning — perfect for a restful night's sleep.
One of the things I appreciated most was the location. Tune Hotel is conveniently situated near public transport, restaurants, and shopping areas, making it easy to explore the city without hassle. Despite its affordable rates, the hotel maintains high cleanliness standards, and the housekeeping team does an excellent job. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which was important for both work and leisure.
Overall, I highly recommend Tune Hotel for short stays or business trips. It provides all the essentials without unnecessary frills, making it a practical and enjoyable choice.

GGuest User2025.05.09
I visited the hotel with my parents, my wife and my daughter. We stayed for four nights, checking in on 3rd May and checked out on the 7th.
This is actually my second time visiting this hotel, the first time being 30 years ago, again with my parents. I had great memories as a kid so I was looking forward to this trip.
The First night was great, had dinner at Coco Joe's and rested after a long trip.
The Second day was fantastic, breakfast and dinner and Cafe Tutu, met a lovely dining lady named Rohana. During the day, we enjoyed the great activities of the Leisure Center. Friendly staff from there made the experience children friendly. And the icing of the dessert - the sunset parade, Jamie loves it. Housekeeping did a surprise heartwarming job, covering the lion doll of my daughter with a little towel on the pillow, very cute and thoughtful move.
The Third Day we went out to town so didn't stay much time in the hotel.
The Fourth Day, was quite disappointing to be honest. Housekeeping did not arrive in the morning when we were out playing at the pool. I understand as there are many rooms to take care of. We went back to the room to rest between 2-4pm, switch on the ”Do not disturb” button, and somehow housekeeping team arrived so they put a card to say they could not clean as we put up the do not disturb button. Fair enough, but again, there was five hours in the morning which they could clean the room.
Leaving the room again at 4pm for activities, I called service center for housekeeping, switched off the ”Do not disturb” button and went out. We returned at 7:45pm, still there was no housekeeping. Frustrated, I called the service center again requesting for housekeeping, they replied they will check and follow up with housekeeping. Half an hour later, still no one turned up. Extremely irritated, I called service center for housekeeping again. This time, housekeeping finally arrived but our whole family were waiting for clean towels to have shower.
VERY disappointing with the effecitivness of housekeeping and service center on this incident.
On that very same day, I discovered a big crockcroach in the toilet, so I do have a big quetion mark on the housekeeping of this hotel.
The day was worsen when we had dinner at Coco Joe's, where we wait for nearly an hour (from 6pm to 6:53pm) before we get all our food served. I did complain it to the manager when he came by, which he did apologise and waived our dining fee. Despite my disgrunt towards the long waiting time of the dishes, I would like to give credit on the manager (I think his name is Mr Kan?) in terms of how he managed the complaint.
Overall, the experience is mixed. With friendly staff at leisure center + Cafe Tutu, good food but unreasonably long waiting time at Coco Joe's, and disappointing housekeeping after the heartwarming performance on the second day. The hardware of the hotel is great (view, pool design, restaurant seating) but our experience was mainly affected by the staff. On this ocassions, I would like to give commendation to the following staff: Rohana, Majid (both from Cafe Tutu), all staff from Leisure Centre (especially the two ladies and two gentleman hosting water polo and volleyball respectively), and Kan from Coco Joe's on complaint management.
Please keep up on the good work you already have, and work hard on things that requires improvement:)

Perfect location for island hopping - 3 minutes walk to the Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal. The facilities are modern and the renovation still feels quite new. Service and food here is notably better than other nearby hotels. Food at the breakfast was fresh and of high quality. Would choose to stay here again in the future.

Overall it's an old hotel, outdated facility, poor noise insulation, come to kk for marathon and stay 3 nights, can't sleep well every night due to all kinds of noise and AC not cold enough. Shower water temperature is very hard to control. Provided breakfast is so cheap, I eat only once and rather eat outside, don't pay extra money for the breakfast if you can.

Cleanliness was acceptable with only the bathroom shower area needing deep cleaning. The aircon wasn't too cool but the fans were sufficient. WiFi was weak but didn't bother us much as we had data.

Although it looks like an old hotel with outdated wallpapers, but we love the staff is very attentive to our requests, basic amenities were enough inclusive of pantry items. Since we got the highest level (L13), we get a magnificient view of the city.

HHohlOne of the most beautiful hotel environments I have ever experienced, and unlike the nearby Shangri-La, it is built directly on the beach. The restaurants are okay, but it’s the beautiful architecture of the villas and the garden full of flowers, birds, monkeys, and squirrels that amazed us so much. Highly recommended and a great price/quality ratio!
GGuest UserGreat location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, great staff at lobby !! Everything about the hotel was exceptional, clean, stylish, and roomy, with excellent service!!
MMs LouisaOverall i enjoy to stay at here. Near to Philippine Market. The room was cozy, spacious and best among the best is the view from the room. Nearby there is KK Plaza which you can buy some groceries at Servay Supermarket. Just a bit disappointed of the customer service the time i check where i asked to assist me to going down to the lobby after they asked me leave the card inside the room. They no even help me/ assist me to going down from floor 22 to lobby as u meed to scan the card inside the lift before enter the number of floor you wanted to go. After keep on waiting for some time luckily there is guest which also will going down to lobby in the lift, so i joined them.
