Clean room, perfect to use as a base for exploring the city”
We booked this hotel as it is very close to Jessleton pier and we planned to take boat trips over to the islands.
The hotel was very clean and staff were friendly. The room was cosy but was big enough to use as a base for exploring. This hotel is slightly further from the waterfront area however we were still able to walk (or jump in a cheap taxi) to most parts of the city.
I would definitely recommend Little Gaya to those looking for somewhere to rest after a long day exploring.

Good ”
Staff was friendly. Try their best to attend to my request. Place is clean and well maintain.
However, this review is only for this one night stay. When I re-check in to another room, the room was not clean, sticky stain on floor and food stain on duvet. Staff is still attentive n friendly to change another room but this room do not look new like the first room. Probably this room is more often used and with a bad chair(not yet broken). Is a nice hotel, so hopefully the management will keep all room well maintain and btw, the room size vary for same room type n price (can't confirm, did not measure with tools)

After taken reviews from previous travellers”
Pros: A very good stay. Overall. Even though some might not like the fact that it is located end of the city centre. (taken the point it was just a walk away from jesselton point which is for me the good part).
Cons: Toilet should at least have more than 1 bathroom floor mats if u going for that open washroom so water wont sprinkles all over the floor and getting wet. The refrigerator is not working to put some seafood i bought.

The room is more spacious than other budgeted hotels. However, we need to keep requesting for the free bottle of water that supposed to be in our room daily after housekeeping. We also asked to pay for the additional pillows which was not told to us during the request was made.

There is one thing that I don't like is the sound from the outside is too noise for me. For example, I can hear the sound of somebody open and close his/her room. I also hear someone do a calling in a room that next to my room. The voice is very loud. But the location of this hotel are the nearest with the Suria Sabah. It is just infront of the hotel. Overall, I love the services, the staff there are very helpful and kind. I would recommend to those who are looking for some place to travel and get rest for a few days.
