Nice Room with Bathtub ”
My kids love it so much. Room with bathtub in that cheap price is absolutely awesome. It's perfect to stay on the weekends as there is no parking lot provided. So we have to park at the public parking lot (free on weekend). There is also Sunday Market at just in front of the hotel door. Quite hard to find restaurant that serves Muslim/Malay ordinary foods.

Great value for money”
The room was much more spacious than other hotels in the area for similar prices. And the style was more rustic / less modern, which is a plus for the overall vibe.

Pleasant experience ”
The hotel is old but well kept. The room size is adequate. The staff is really helpful. The only downside was that while we stayed at the hotel, the hotel restaurant was under renovation, so there were no hot meal options for breakfast. The staff arranged for sandwiches and fruits to be delivered to the room but it would have been better if we knew about this at the point of booking. Other than this, we had a pleasant stay.

Nice small old clean hotel in a good location ”
The Jesselton is a comfortable small hotel in a central location in KK. No pool or hotel restaurant or bar, but there’s a Japanese restaurant downstairs and the hotel is close to many eating choices. A good coffee shop right across the street. Just a few blocks from the waterfront and the seafood there. A couple of big malls are a short walk away. Bank (& ATM) right across the street. Sunday market is right outside the door. The staff is friendly-any problems are dealt with right away. I recommend this hotel as a good value.
