I had stayed in this hotel before. It has always been the same. It is simple and clean. However, it is compact, so you cant run around the room. The plus points are they have a lot of eateries nearby, walking distance. Shopping complex are also a few minutes away.

Was staying in KK one night for business purpose. Choose the single room with queen bed. It is clean and tidy. However, the room is small. There are hardly any space between the wall and the side of the bed. One small table and small cupboard. The toilet is clean and well maintained. Even though the room is small, I... More

Stopping short of calling this hotel "very good", I must say that it catered to my needs. In search of a clean, well maintained and professional hotel, I recieved my wishes. The room was large enough to not feel closed in and quality of the room was okay, if not in need of a freshening up. Location was excellent in... More

Quite a descent hotel since it is quite new. Rooms are priced affordably and they have single rooms as well. A good rest stop for climbers after their Mount Kinabalu trek. Quite a variety of food nearby, all within the town centre. Only thing wasn't up to standard was the breakfast. You will be better off getting better quality breakfast... More

The hotel location is excellent. It is located in the middle of Asia City Complex in the middle of Kota Kinabalu city. Centrepoint Mall is located just across the road, the Philipines market and the waterfront is within a short walk from the hotel. Travel agents, banks, money changer, convenient store, massage centres, spa, saloon... you name it; all within... More

I made a last minute booking and got a reasonably good deal at the hotel. The location is good. Check in was fast. The room was very small, but not cramped. Good enough for a single person. All in-room amenities were stocked. A 7-eleven store next door and a few malls behind the hotel. The shower/toilet wasn't a separate room.... More

The hotel location is excellent. The area around it is not so cramped up with a lot of people or night markets, so it’s definitely peaceful and safe. But if you need supplies or food, there are a lot of nearby restaurants, malls and a pharmacy. It is located in the middle of a commercial place called Asia City Complex.... More

I booked for 3 nights and during second night 10pm, my wifi was cut off. I called the receptionist they mentioned that i checked in 9pm therefore... More

Our hotel room was so small that you could only walk along one side of a double bed. Along the other three sides of the bed were two walls and the TV. The room barely fit the double bed. I say this room is dingy because the sheets, towels and mattresses really have seen better days and need to be... More
