Was frustrated with the hotels' decision to close the swimming pool starting from 3.00p.m. on 7 August 2010 for a private party. Later, found out that the private party was for the hotel manager's son/daughter birthday party. Instead of organizing the party elsewhere, the hotel put the personal interest of the employee above the needs and wants of their paying... More

Really felt for these guys watching me limp through the front doors sodden from a downpour, weary from an hours trek trying to find them (later realising I had gone completly the wrong way). Not only did they honour my previous booking that I had 'no showed' for but quickly assisted me to my room and were so friendly getting... More

Refurbished hotel with decent sizes swimming pool and good food in the restaurant. We liked the quiet location just outside the town centre but within easy walk of KK centre with its restaurants, market stalls and access to day trips to the islands etc. The rooms were clean and bright with some of the trappings of a more expensive hotel...

This hotel is reasonably priced. The rooms are very basic, but clean and comfortable. Free wifi. The hotel is around 15 minute walk from the town centre. It has a good size pool, gym and the food in the restaurant is quite good. We enjoyed our stay here. Staff are helpful and friendly. The night market (food) close to the... More

Stayed at Palace Hotel (formerly known as Berjaya Palace Hotel) for a week during our stay in Kota Kinabalu. Basically it is nicely refurbished and rooms were clean, well kept and contemporary. The location is a little off the main town area but it is walkable, 10-15 mins walk and you will arrive at CentrePoint. The hotel also has wireless... More

Tranquility lies in the atmosphere around the hotel. Our most tresured memory is the arrangements they made for our 38th anniversary - that we will never forget. The staff greeted us always with a smile on their faces & were always prepared to help us in any way. A brand new fitness centre with staff to help with individuell traing... More

The hotel is located in a petty location on the side of a hill overlooking some of KK (not the water though) so there is very little if any traffic noise. You can walk into town if you enjoy a stroll, however a short taxi ride may be needed if not too mobile. The room was small, simple but quite... More

Great hotel for £30. All been recently decorated. Rooms are large and simple but with everything you need for a night or two. The most helpful staff encountered. Left bags there while doing a 1 night trip. Left before breakfast but they provided a take away breakfast without asking. Only a 5 min taxi to town centre (or use hotels... More

Was in KK for a few days, after returning from a short trip to Tawau and Labuan. I had previously stayed at this hotel when it was under the Berjaya Group, and the change it's undergone is nothing short of astounding!! from the outside it looks the same, but once you go inside you realize it's a totally different animal...

I was a pleasantly surprise to see such huge difference to this hotel compared to my last visit 10 yrs ago. The new interior makeover definitely got the "wow". My husband and I took up a superior room with breakfast at the cost of RM158, what value for money it was! The new contemporary design of the lobby and the... More
