an oldie but a goodie
Pros:

This is the fourth time we have stayed here over a number of years. The staff and owners are the nicest people, and makes us feel at home. It is an older establishment but we had no complaints. Everything worked, and I personally love the beds and pillows. We made use of the communal area, having our breakfast everymorning and just lounging there when we had time. There is a high end supermarket and also a fruit seller/grocery just beside, and we had fresh fruit every day. Easy walk to Suria Mall, and the rest of Gaya Street. Also walking distance to the other attractions in town. And there are no elevators so there are stairs.

Old and dirty. To be avoided.
Pros:

Hotel is very old and not clean at all. We were supposed to stay 4 nights and had to change after the 1st night. Dust, damaged furniture, very old and not clean. For the same price, we found much better alternative and changed location for the remaining 3 nights.

Budget stay in good location
Pros:

Booked a room online with little choice as it was rather short of time. Read some favorable reviews. Priority was to stay along Gaya Street. The hotel reminded me of budget hotels in earlier days which operated in shop lots. There was no lift. Check-in at first floor. Room was very basic but just fulfilled our needs for short stay. Located at the end of Gaya Street and was close to many banks and the Suria Shopping Mall.

Pros:

Walking distance to Suria Sabah shopping mall and the famous Gaya Street. Below the hotel is Tong Hing Supermarket. Would be better if the TV is fixed, the fan has a switch to turn on/off and the aircond has a remote in the room.

Great Stay!
Pros:

Only 10mins from airport, eden 54’s location is conveniently situated near Suria Mall, has a supermarket/ cafe next to it. Lots of local foods and cafes within walking distance. The room and toilet are clean and spacious with free wifi. Owner and staff are super helpful and friendly. Value for money! Will definitely stay with them again and recommend to friends and family.

Not Value for Money
Pros:

Checked in on 29 Jan for 4 nights, came back from work and realized double lock at 204 was not working, cnt lock and no safety. Surprisingly for a rated hotel NO hose bidet, uses bucket and pail. This room that i paid for was full of bed bugs, according to the staff, this room was a previous oil and gas long stay guest.

Had nasty bed bug bites all over body. Had to ask the staff to change my unit to 203 Hopefully can have a peaceful night tonite.

Decent stay at good location
Pros:

Just needed a place to sleep with decent comfort & cleanliness. Eden54 fits the bill at a very reasonable rate. Only negative experience was lack of credit/debit card facilities to pay for stay. Hope the management can offer this basic facility for guests

Pros:

The term "beautiful things come in small packages" best describes this property. The stardard is on par with any other boutique hotel around. The place is cosy and homely.

I initially booked a queen bed with no window but the owner was so generous to upgrade me to king bed with window overlooking lush greenery. The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. I had the best sleep in a month. The hot shower was pleasant and all toiletries provided for. If anything need to be added is a bidet tap.

The communal area has a fridge, hot & cold water dispenser, microwave, toaster and all other necessities. All you need is your own bread, cereal and milk, you're good to go.

The location couldn't be more perfect, centralized but away from the busy streets. There's a fruit market downstairs and a supermarket at the corner. I particularly like the supermarket. They sell high quality bread and everything else you need for breakfast. They even have a good selection of beer and wine (if you're upto booze).

If malls is your thing, Suria Mall is only about 3 minutes walk away. All other attractions such as Signal Hill Observatory, Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal, Harbour Walk, Central Market, Handicraft Centre and Waterfront Esplanade are all in the vicinity.

If you're looking for a comfortable yet affordable place to stay in KK, I highly recommend eden54. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit.

Thank you Mdm Ling Ling for your wonderful hospitality.

Long Overdue
Pros:

This was way long overdue but I could finally sit down and remember that I owe the lovely owner a review from Dec 2014.

Eden54 was part of our stay in KK in our honeymoon trail and I can say the location is very strategic. Almost all is within a walking distance and it helped that my wife too knew the locales. Food, watefront, groceries and convenience stores are a stone throw away.

The manager (Madam Grace if I remember it correctly) that time was very friendly even though we checked in late. The room setup was satisfactory and I could not recall any qualms with the quality.

TLDR, will definitely come back in the next KK holiday trip, and this time with additional heads. :)

Excellent choice for KK
Pros:

I stayed here for a total of 3 nights.
It was absolutely perfect for my needs.
Excellent value for money.
Friendly staff.
Access to a shared kitchen/fridge which was invaluable & a nice relax area.
Location was perfect in Gaya Street, virtually next to an excellent supermarket.
Easy walk to rest of main town area.
Room & bathroom was clean - a bit 'jaded' but perfectly fine for the price I had paid.
Entrance lobby off the street was a bit scruffy which let it down a bit. It wouldn't take much to improve this.
Happy to recommend & would stay again if I went back to KK.
