Pros:

地理位置很好,周边很多餐厅,距离各个商场与景点都不远,打车也很方便,房间的床很舒适,酒店毛巾等比较干净,更换很及时,卫生环境不错,早餐品类丰盛,但每天变化不多

Cons:

客房服务很不细致,第一天入住房间缺少纸巾,多次打电话要求送来,等待时间很长,第二天护发素不足也不更换。床品更新不及时,即便放置更换床品牌子也没有及时更换,也没有按照说明的三天一更换,因为每次都比较晚回来,也没有再继续坚持等待更换床品。
早餐餐厅的员工工作很差,从入门登记开始就很混乱,插队的事情频发也不管理。服务员引领入座以后基本就再也找不到机会沟通了,甚至有一次需要宝宝椅也完全忘记,想再次要宝宝椅就根本找不到人沟通,终于在过了15分钟以后找到服务员,但是居然推脱说交给同事拿宝宝椅,完全没有歉意。
整间酒店的管理都很差,但是员工的态度都非常好,沟通时表现的很积极,但是与酒店客房、前台沟通以后,表示知道了,抱歉,没有了,仍然继续混乱。我们入住的时候还不是旺季,不知道如果是旺季会是什么情况。

Very good central hotel.
Pros:

The staff were very welcoming and friendly.
The location is great just a short distance from good seafood restaurants and a Grab ride from anything else.
Our room was upgraded to an Executive room which was perfect. Really good air conditioning, loads of space and an enormous bathroom with an excellent shower.
The breakfast buffet was good and well organised.
I would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

We had stayed here a few days previously and had encountered some issues. On this occasion everything was so much better.
No complaints at all.

Pros:

The hotel is very well located with easy access to a range of different restaurants.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful.
The room was a good size and was very comfortable. The shower was excellent with plenty of hot water. There was plenty of storage space and comfortable chairs.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Kota Kinabalu.

Cons:

The safe hadn't been checked and needed new batteries.
I had requested a room without a connecting door to the next room but unfortunately I was allocated the very thing I didn't want. The connecting door compromises the sound insulation. At 11pm the guests on the other side of the door came in shouting loudly and this went on for 2 hours.
The breakfast area needs closer monitoring. The coffee machines regularly not working and needing attention.
Check in was painfully slow. A large group had arrived creating unacceptable queues and waiting time for others.
