Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviews report cleanliness issues: a dirty swimming pool, at least one 'unclean' room (room 902), inconsistent housekeeping (missed room servicing, toiletries not replenished) and stagnant water in bathroom drainage.
Service
1
Service is mixed: several guests praised helpful and accommodating staff (early check-in/late check-out), but others reported slow, confusing check-in experiences and a lack of clear communication at the front desk.
Location
1
Location is consistently praised: very convenient (about 200 m from Jesselton Point), next to a mall, close to eateries and markets, and easy access to transport and rentals.
Room Quality
1
Rooms are frequently described as spacious and comfortable with good bathrooms (bathtub/shower), though some rooms have downsides (e.g., windows facing the carpark).
Amenities
1
Amenities are undermined by a poorly maintained pool (dirty, needs update) and no shower area before entering the pool; other facilities (mall adjacency) are convenient but pool maintenance is a recurring complaint.
Value for Money
1
Perceived value is mixed-to-negative: some guests noted paying high rates (e.g., ~500++) with no breakfast included, while others called the stay 'overall excellent'.
Food and Beverage
1
Food feedback is mixed: some guests described the breakfast as 'yummy' while others found limited choices or noted no breakfast was included in their rate.
Overall Experience
1
Overall impressions are mixed: strong positives for location and roomy accommodations, tempered by cleanliness/housekeeping and amenity (pool) issues and occasional check-in problems.

Good location to stay and shop in KK
Pros:

Great location in Kota Kinabalu.

Cons:

Staff didn’t help my elderly mum who had to carry a delivery of a lot of dried biscuits from a driver at the lobby. Didn’t bother offering help and pressing the lift.
