We didn’t eat due to our brief staff so cannot comment on the food at the restaurant. The hotel is the perfect choice for quick access to the airport at Koh a Kinabalu which is a cheap taxi ride away." - "One night only but a very pleasant stay. Check in was excellent.

- "Great value room, very nicely laid out and modern. Only niggle was that the previous guest had smoked in the bathroom and the one evening I stayed, I could smell cigarettes in the corridor from another room. Not much the staff can do about idiots breaking the rules without knocking on every door, so not a fault of the hotel. Also, I stayed only one night so its probably not the norm. I would definitely recommend!" - "The hotel looks old but service and cleanliness is good. No lift but the hotel not really high. Staff also nice and helpful. Area around the hotel is fine. Might be a bit worry but everything is fine. I don't know about past years service but maybe I can said they have improved. May come again."

However the driver was very late coming and we were left standing there with their phone number that would not connect. After travelling for 24hrs it was the “last straw”!

- "It's a very nice budget hotel with on-site parking lots and the room together with the attached bathroom is also well-maintained and very clean, which is commendable. But our only gripe is that since the hotel and a gym fitness center also sharing the same building but the flooring and the wall isn't laced with any sound-proofing materials, it can be a bit hard to catch a peaceful sleep, especially for a senior citizen like my Dad. As we constantly kept hearing loud bangs/thuds generated by the fitness apparatus/equipment knocking/dropping/slamming onto the floor, which can be quite annoying."
