Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Fine for the price but the accommodation is tired, the toilets block (two rooms in our group had this problem) and the showers can flood through the gap to the rest of the bathroom. Beds are comfortable enough. Really dirty underneath the beds though in all the rooms our group had. Breakfast was good and we also had one dinner here which was good too. Good, central location and not too noisy.

Spacious Room with great service

Loved the room size and the view facing the padang. Had a great view of the fireworks for the Malaysia Day celebration. Breakfast spread can be further improve but loving the staff warmth & friendliness especially the trainee by the name Ms. Afrijinia. Housekeeping was super efficient and had the room clean & tidied during our breakfast time. Overall, very happy with the stay and will definitely return again when I'm in KK.

가성비 좋은 숙소

밤 늦게 코타키나발루 도착해서 하룻밤 자기 위한 숙소로는 좋지만 장시간 머물기에는 썩 청결하지 못한 곳입니다. 화장실 같은 경우에는 시대의 흔적이 많이 보이고, 방에 들어가자마자 바닥에 물이 고여있는 걸 볼 수 있었습니다. 늦게 도착하시는 분들에게 자정이 넘어서까지 체크인이 되기 때문에 하룻밤 머무는 정도로 추천합니다.

モスクが近いので、早朝５時とか大音量でうるさい。 泊まった部屋は６階の海が見える良い部屋で大満足。 シャワーとトイレが一緒の空間にあり、一応ガラスで仕切られているものの、シャワーの水がトイレの足元に流れてくることがある。洗面台の横にトイレットホルダーがついていて、洗面所を使うと水が飛んで、トイレットペーパーが濡れることがあるので注意。 総合的には値段の割にスタッフのサービス対応が非常に良かったので、また泊まりたいと思う。

比起以前退步了

比起16年這次重複造訪感覺真的有差！除了房間老舊感出現之外，房間內桌上都有螞蟻出現，浴室無法密合，導致水都會噴到乾的地方！房價還是很有競爭力，早餐也還是不錯！

地點好 ，價錢合理

每次來沙巴都在這裡住宿，不經不覺已超過五年。今次適逢酒店維修 ，希望會搞好內部設施，最重要是將舊地氈更換或改造仿製木地板。餐飲方面多年來都沒有改變，餐牌上的款式及早餐的款式，多年來是千篇一律。令人看到也變得沉悶！
