BEST HOTEL EVER”
We checked in on November 11. The staffs are so great!!!!!!!!!!! Very friendly, very kind, very helpful. We got a very nice room with sea view. I CANT STRESSED HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS HOTEL!!!! LOVE IT SO MUCH!! Since we were here on work purpose, we need a good internet connection. The free wifi work so great! Water pressure is very good. But the water is yellowish. I try to boil some water to make hot drink, but it looks unsafe to drink. Water heater is dirty too, seems like someone before me heat some food using the heater. The curtains has a lot of dust. When I try to open the curtain in the morning, dust are flying everywhere. My laptop screen was covered in it . I had to clean my laptop and phone screen everytime i pull the curtain to the side. Had to wash my face too. Only a few cons. The PROS OUTWEIGH THE CONS !!!!!! Just stay here if you are planning to stay in KK. Everything is so satisfying!!!!!! I loved it so much!! I need to go to KK again this december. I think I will stay here if it is available

Just nice”
All facilities provided. Iron, kettle, water heater, mineral water, coffee, sugar, fridge. But the sad thing is, this hotel got NO swimming pool. The breakfast is okay lah, not bad. So so. Wifi is okay. This hotel very near to the mall. And the best thing is , near to mcdonalds 24 hours. If you rent a car or bring your own car, you need to pay RM15 per entry at their basement parking. Not free parking. If you want to park outside, you have to buy the coupon from DBKK. By the way, i love their pillow. Very comfyyyyy!!!!!!

Excellent Location ”
I chose this hotel because of its location. Waterfront walkway is just in front of the hotel. A shopping mall Suria is just a step away with 24 hours Mcd and cinema. Room furnitures look dated but it's okay because they maintain the cleanliness. Private parking is available in front the hotel with additional payment. Breakfast is quite standard.

Nice hotel ”
Nice hotel to stay. Stay this hotel around 6 years. I will choose this hotel coz the room is clean, good facilities, staffs is helpful and friendly. The most important is the location is strategic. The hotel is between wisma merdeka and Suria sabah. It is sad that the hotel need to temporary close down starting 1/9/2020

Nice hotel with valuable prices ”
Hotel is located in front of Suria Sabah shopping mall which is good for those who want to walk around the mall without using car. Also, you can walk to the waterfront that nearby to the hotel. The only problem is car parking. Since the hotel is located in front of shopping mall, most of the parking space is full due to that. My solution for this car parking problem is you may ask the counter about parking space for your car.

Worth the money stay!”
Even though the hotel is not equipped with a swimming pool my kids enjoyed their stay as the hotel is just opposite a big mall where there is even a mall. We booked a family room that fits my whole family of 6 plus a helper. We feel more safer staying in a hotel than in an apartment. The staffs that attended us were all warm & friendly. Keep up tge good work GCH!

Value for money, exceptional service”
This hotel offers value for money at an ideal location in the heart of the city. It is right across Suria Sabah Mall & is near places of interest & food choices like Yee Fung (where the best laksa is). Our family room was big and spacious, with really comfortable beds and pillows, basic amenities, and daily bottled water replenishment. The breakfast buffet could be better, though. But what stood out for us was the exceptional service and friendliness of practically every hotel staff member! Check-in and out was lightning fast and hassle-free, even at wee hours. Even their email correspondent was very responsive and helpful. My family highly recommends Gaya Center Hotel.

Like home for a solo traveller like me”
My go to hotel when I travel solo in KK. With the price I pay, I really feel its worth every penny, and plus, its a stone-throw away from one of the best shopping mall in KK, the Suria Sabah!

BEST EXPERIENCE”
I didn't expect the hotel was very good as I read a lot of comments saying otherwise. Once there, it was beyond my expectation. It was a walking distance from Suria Sabah , KK Plaza and even got a very nice view of the sea. It was accessible, the staff also very friendly. The check in and check out process also fast and good. If you dont want to add breakfast, McD just in front of the hotel or you can choose any restaurants inside Suria Sabah. Overall, I am very satisfied with the hotel . The only problem is no parking . You have to be in first come first serve basis. Anyway, thanks Gaya Hotel . The wifi also fast .

Out of my expectations ”
Seriously I like this hotel soooo much! The staff are friendly & helping. The room very clean & I like the view outside my window even my room are city view especially at night. The wi-fi just slower a bit when we stay there, hope they will improve that soon. Television channel is okay since we not really watching television when our staycation. I might repeat staying there in future. Also worth my money :)
