Excellent close to National Park
Pros:

One of our favourite stays in Malaysia.We arrivied early and were allowed to leave our bags for a couple hours and then we were unexpectedly upgraded due to wifi issues in the room we booked originally. But the room we got was excellent - comfortable beds, excellent view onto Mt. Kinabalu from the balcony, great facilities and bathroom, and staff were very welcoming. Plus there is a free breakfast which was good as well

Cons:

Nothing - everything was great. Wpuld recommend for anyone looking to stay close to the national park

Pros:

Lloc molt agradable i tranquil, molt a prop de l'entrada a Kinabalu Park. Habitació molt àmplia, neta, llit amb manta (necessària, les nits són fredes i cal pijama). Balcó privat, banys suficients. Les instal·lacions són bàsiques. Les vistes, espectaculars al matí.

Cons:

Podria haver un moble per acomodar la roba millor. Si tens veïns sorollosos, els sentiràs perfectament.
