The room was tastefully decorated, the bed was really comfortable, the facilities were amazing (water filter, kettle, tea and coffee). I liked how I was able to control the lighting in the room and there was also a desk.

We stayed for 4 nights to this lovely hotel. This accommodation is very clean, the staff is very polite and is totally bug free, which is a big thing for kota kinabalu. The room is very spacious, the bed is very comfy and the air conditioning is very strong and well maintained so no clogged noses the morning! Special thanks to Mr Sha ( probably i misspelt the name). This gentleman was so polite and, with his positive attitude, always was there to help if a minor problem arise.Also, the place is literally by feet 2 mins from city centre/ night market, 5 mins from the port and the maul and is surrounded with many 24/7 convenient stores. I saw that they organised tours, cruises etc but we didn't do any so i don't have any more details about that. Great value for money.

Very clean and comfortable, shared bathroom was always clean and had shower gel in there for use. Location is right next to restaurants and shops but a bit out of the way. Breakfast is included, you can choose 2 local pastries from the cafe downstairs which we enjoyed. Also I want to give a special mention to a young girl who works in the cafe downstairs, we didn’t get her name but she has ginger hair and her English is very good. She always looked out for us and assisted us every morning in choosing a pastry and getting us coffees promptly. She is an asset to the team.
