快適に滞在できるホテル
Pros:

大きな通りに面してはいるものの夜騒々しいこともなく快適にすごせました。建物はところどころ古さを感じさせますがしっかり手入れされていると思います。

Cons:

特にありません。抜群のコスパという訳ではないですが価格に見合った良いホテルだと思います。

Short escape
Pros:

Comfy room. Quiet. Great location. Easy to get to the city just by walking. Breakfast was included which was a good deal. Nice cold aircon and a decent TV with netflix available

Cons:

The shower somehow wasn't hot enough. It was more like average room-cold temperature water only. That's the only downside from my experience.

Great food and a good value.
Pros:

We were shocked at the quality of the restaurant food. It was so good we did not eat at restaurants downtown.

Cons:

Walking to downtown was not simple as the sidewalks were not good.

Pros:

Das Personal war super nett& das Hotel zentral gelegen. Frühstück war ausreichend.

Cons:

Das Zimmer hat komisch& eklig gerochen. Für heißes Wasser muss man die Dusche 10 Minuten laufen lassen, etwas unnötig. Die Beschilderung der Zimmer ist verwirrend, wir sind erstmal ein paar Runden gelaufen.

Pros:

Great location if you have a car, meaning it’s got a large secure lot just a bit outside of the craziness of driving downtown, yet close enough to walk. Super friendly staff.

Cons:

Not super happy about a room with no windows but I knew that when I booked it.

Pros:

The hotel looked nice, the rooms were clean and comfortable.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
The location was ok, close enough to walk to the center.

Cons:

The breakfast was disappointing, very limited with almost no sources of protein.
We struggled to find a quiet room, as all rooms facing the main street were very noisy, as almost everywhere on Borneo. The staff was friendly and helpful, and after changing rooms three times during our 4-night stay, we were able to sleep well on the last night...

Bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Petit déjeuner simple mais suffisant. Personnel agréable. Bonne situation par rapport au centre ville et aux sites touristiques Des bouteilles d'eau sont offertes chaque jour. Wifi correct.

Cons:

l'hôtel étant actuellement rénovation (bruit 9-17h), nous avons du changer de chambre car l'odeur de peinture était trop forte.
il n'y a pas de bouilloire dans la chambre contrairement au descriptif et une seule paire de chausson pour une chambre de 2 personnes ... un peu bizarre
