Clean, comfortable and top notch facilities”

Location: Very near and walkable to Bulatan Todak and Pasar Kraftangan. But careful with the cars and beggars (immigrant kot). Nearby got a lot of shops, mini market and restaurants (chinese). Facilities: Hotel was well maintained and the lobby has a good smell. Parking: limited parking as need to park at public parking. Suggest to drop your luggage first before find parking Room size: Abit compact but okay for 2 people. Toilet was very clean and comfortable. Love it would like to repeat again but with Seaview and bigger room

Wonderful bargain”

I originally looked at a hotel near the airport, but there's very little to see or do around the airport so I later decided on this place because it's right in the center of town. You have a lot of choices for hotels, but the place is near here that are cheaper don't cost much less, and they definitely have scarier reviews. So I went with this place and it exceeded my expectations. I got a room on the top floor that had a nice view, it was a large room that was very clean and had everything I needed including two bottles of water. The bathroom and shower was large and clean. The staff were quite helpful when I asked them for directions. They speak English. The only drawback for me was that while the place has laundry service, they send out their laundry in the morning. So if you want to do laundry you'll need to be staying two nights, and you'll need to get it to them the day before you leave.

though the looks from outside is an old building since it was built in 1967, but the inside design has been updated, the room was clean & comfy, staff were friendly also… the only thing you have to do is looking for the parking area on your own. surely will stay again here.

The only fault I could find was just on the hot water - it is working but you need to let the water runs for 3mins+ before you get the hot water. Other than that it was all perfect. I booked for multiple times for future trips coz I’m so happy with my first trip. Walking distance (within 5mins radius) to Suria Sabah, Wisma Sabah, Wisma Merdeka, Bataras Supermarket, 99 speedmart, Watson pharmacy, banks and Gaya St. Many restaurants nearby e.g. Little Italy, Vanila Chilly, mamak place.

It was such a pleasant stay. Staffs were friendly as always, room was clean with basic amenities. Located in the middle of the city, easy access to restaurants, malls and places of attractions. If you are driving, bear in mind that there are no parking spaces specially allocated for the guests, instead you'll have to park in public parking lots.
