Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms with a very friendly staff. The dining experience had some shortcomings, but the location was convenient with many nearby restaurants.
I had a great stay at the hotel, with comfortable rooms and a friendly service. The location is convenient, close to malls and offering a local seafood dining experience, but the dining could improve in terms of cleanliness. Overall, a good value for money choice.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very cozy and big, although they weren't ready despite informing about a late check-in. The service was exceptional, with friendly and welcoming staff, although not very knowledgeable about current promotions. The location was good, within walking distance to shopping centers and eateries, although a bit far from the malls. The dining experience was overall tasty but a bit crowded during peak times.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were very cozy and spacious, although having only one garbage bin was a bit inconvenient. The service, from check-in to check-out, was amazing and the staff were friendly, but they could have been more knowledgeable on current promotions. The location was out of this world, easily accessible to surrounding attractions, but driving might be necessary. The dining experience at the buffet was exceptional, albeit crowded on public holidays/weekends. Overall, it was a great experience.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although they overlooked a busy road, which was a downside. The service, particularly from Farrah Jamilah at the front desk, was outstanding, but there were some lapses in knowledge about current promotions and room essentials. The location was convenient, with great access to town and a fantastic buffet experience. The dining options were varied, but the price didn't quite match the quality. The facilities were satisfactory.
For just a $20 top-up, my stay was cozy and pleasant. The rooms were surprisingly warm despite no air conditioning, but the full fan provided a comfortable atmosphere. The service was outstanding from the moment I walked in until checkout. The location, while a bit out of the way, offered poolside food and beverage service and easy access to local restaurants. Dining options were limited but satisfying, especially the Croissant. Overall, a good value stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel had a convenient location in Kota Kinabalu, with quiet rooms and many restaurants behind the hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and polite, making the stay pleasant. However, the view from the room was not the best and the dining options were limited in variety. The grab service made exploring the area easy, and the proximity to the Welcome Seafood Restaurant was a plus.
