          The best services ever!”

          I got deluxe room, and everything I need was there. What ever I ask, they come quickly. Last time the tv cant be switch on. When I call reception then the staff ask technician to come do checking and its gonna work. I ask the iron (should be in the room but the iron is missing) on the 1st day I come. So after a few minute they send the iron and the board. Really fast services and the staff so friendly and smile. The bed also comfortable. Will come again in the future!❤

          Staff was friendly & helpful, room was cozy, clean with nice outdoor view. Located within 1Borneo Hypermall & easy transportation service. Breakfast can be improve since the variety of choice & taste a little bit let down than my previous stay at Grand Borneo.
