Services offered does not match with the price paid”
Price paid doesn't match with what is offered. RM185 per night for a double-bed bedroom and got only 6 choices of dish for breakfast? I have been to far cheaper hotel at about RM100 with miles better breakfast options such as Hotel Sandakan in Sandakan. Now don't tell me because it's in different district so the price is going to be different. If that's the hotel's defence, then it should have offered better breakfast option since customer has been charged higher. I didn't even want to stay here if it's not because I had wrongly booked this hotel and it was non-refundable. For me, this hotel does not offer good enough for what it charges.

Very good”
The hotel is great for its location. Walkable distance to philipino market, dataran todak and jesselton point (for island hopping). Next to suria sabah. Easy to find food around. Facilities not so good. The bathroom was not well maintained. Mine was leaking and smelly. The other room, the bathroom was blocked. The rest of other accomodation were just fine.

Good location, great view.”
This is a very central location for exploring Kota Kinabalu. There is a large modern shopping mall right next door with all the shops and facilities near to hand. The room had a great view looking out across the bay to the islands. I would definitely consider staying here again if I return to Kota Kinabalu.

Consider okay..”
Firstly, the light in the room is darker than other hotel,we can't read a book at night .The toilet is big, but a little bit dirty on shower floor. The staffs are nice and helpful. Breakfast different everyday . And a problem, we live on floor 12, start every midnight there's sounds from the floor upside, like pulling the tables and chairs upstairs, nonstop until the next morning. Wonder what kind of room/place on floor 13.

Everything else was good. Except for the breakfast buffet spread. Not much options and the taste was quite stale for some of the food. But location wise is good. You can walk to the Filipino market or the malls or even jetty. It is all walking distance. You can stay here but I suggest for you to have your breakfast outside. Overall, my friends and I had a splendid time in KK!
