The road heading down to the carpark from the main road was very steep. Luckily... More

It was a comfortable room with a big glass sliding door which gave us a beautiful scenery in the evening. There is a restaurant nearby J residence (opposite to Mount Kinabalu Park entrance) that is worth to try for, specially the Panataran Fried Rice (if the name was not mistaken). J residence had provide us an affordable rate of RM80/night... More

Sitting here in Room 5B admiring the view through the big glass picture window, from our comfy couch and soaking up the view down the valley, whilst taking advantage of the fast and free wifi, and sipping some of the complimentary 1.5 litre water you get each day. Towels, soap and shampoo are also provided. This is one of the... More

We stayed in 2(A) n 2(B) where we had a kitchen to heat up or cook simple food.The bed linens and comforters were very clean comfortable. Choose 5b or 3b for the best view and biggest rooms.The price was very affordable... More
