Shorcoming

1. Door safety lock (dari dalam) rosak. Unable to safely latch the main door. 2. No door in shower room - causing floor wet and slippery (I slipped & almost fall down - dangerous for warga emas) 3. No coffee or tea courtesy service (Small point but means a lot) NOTE: I did not find any of the above when I stayed there before (previously).

Vieux et sale

Grosse déception: murs moisis, taches suspectes sur les lits… arrivés à 1:30am nous n’avions pas d’autres options que de rester et nous avons finalement bien dormi mais je ne reviendrai certainement pas… le système d’aération de la salle de bain est tellement mauvais que nous avions toute la fumée des fumeurs de la terrasse du dessus comme s’ils étaient dans la chambre. Le seul point positif est que l’hôtel est assez bien placé, avec une réception 24h/24, c’est pour cela que nous l’avions choisi. Personnel sympathique. Mais vraiment en mauvais état général. Je pense qu’il peut y avoir beaucoup mieux pour le même prix

Fine

Underwhelming. Hotel was fine for the price as the city is very expensive for budget travelers. We were able to walk to restaurants and shopping which was nice. The actual street the hotel is on is very smelly and full of cockroaches. But inside the hotel is clean and comfortable. Recommend for budget traveler but not if your looking for something nice.

Incredibly helpful and friendly staff.

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We left our baggage at the hotel overnight while hiking Mt Kinabalu, and then again when we went to stay overnight on Sapi Island. They were very happy to accommodate our requests. The rooms are generously sized, and good value. The hotel is conveniently located to many local restaurants. Free WIFI in rooms appreciated.
