Excellent location with many shops around. The busiest mall, Imago shopping mall is just a 10-minute walk. The hotel is equipped with a shared kitchen, washer and dryer. The room is clean. Check-in and out is easy with the instructions given.

I love this place! From the outside, it looks sketchy but it was great after i checked in. The door and electricity were keycard-activated. I love that the bathroom looked well-maintained. There was water heater in the shower, bidet, and even hair dryer. In the room there was a spare chair for when you have to work, a wardrobe, with the safety box inside. There were enough sockets. There was also water heater for drinking water to use for the free coffee sachets. THERE WAS A FRIDGE IN THE ROOM!!! The location was nice because it was near the waterfront but not too near, like a 10min walk. There were food options just outside the hotel.

The hotel offers a wonderful overall experience, with neat and clean rooms complemented by well-prepared amenities. Its location is highly convenient, being close to the airport, and it provides a peaceful environment at night. The only minor drawback is the limited parking availability for guests.

Really bad staff - they spoke really bad English and they weren’t helpful at all .
The door of the restaurant says open until 11pm , I arrived before 9.30pm , reed the menu and then when I was about to order they said the restaurant closes at 10pm and they don’t serve after 9.30pm. I’ve checked the watch and it was 9.32pm - and all they said was “sorry sir” with a smirk on their faces
Next day I asked I went to the concierge for some tips regarding the tour to see the Proboscis monkeys and he couldn’t explain anything at all. Also asked for some recommendations regarding where I could have a good steak he couldn’t also advise a restaurant.
Finally i put the car in the reception.
No one explained how the system worked. I had to wait for someone that spoke proper English to come and explain.
If I was in a 2 star lodge in the middle of nowhere I could understand such a bad staff but this was in a 4 star hotel in the capital of Sabah

Excellent facilities 😁!
Cleanliness is good.
Upon arrival around 3pm, no bellboy at the hotel to assist us with luggage.
The reception who helped us with our check in is very unprofessional.
2 of them have keropok on their desk and eat in front of me. Later they even exchange each other’s keropok. I didn’t see her wash hand before handling my hotel room key/document!
Other service, for aircon and hot water issue, after cll them, they came quite on time to fix problem.
The only reason I will return will be their hotel room size, excellent room view and breakfast view. Thank you

Apartment is located right next to Imago Mall with a lot of food and retail outlets and along the Riverson Walk. Apartment is super clean and beds have thick mattress and are super comfortable. Apartment balcony has a stunning sunset view overseeing the Sutera Golf course. The host was very responsive to my family's requests including providing baby cot in the middle of night. Wonderful experience and will come back again.

SSteven D.Lovely hotel, a little old (it opened in 1977) but you can feel it has got a lot of character. Kudos to EVIS from Bell Service, he’s a humble gentlemen who loves to engage with his guests. He assisted me with my luggage and escorted me to my room. He knows the hotel inside out and loves to share his insights. Also a shout out to MARY from front desk, she is amazing. She is multi functional with assisting me to check-in PLUS helping me with concierge matters regarding my flight ticket. Exceptional staff. Thank you for having me!

SSoloWondersSecond time staying here. This time I had the chance to explore the surroundings and the city.
Hotel is still in pretty good shape. Hotel staff absolutely wonderful: polite and friendly.
Hotel room is super clean - and I got overly happy to find out that one of the earring locks I had dropped was found by the cleaning lady without me having to ask!!!
The hotel is close to a night market with many delicious food stalls and great restaurants with fresh sea food, cafés and supermarkets like Servay and Bataras, and even to polyclinics, in case you need.
On my last night I went for a foot massage in one of the parlours above the building on the right hand side and wow! This is definitely my place to stay in KK!!!

OOn cloud 9The hotel smells good. The room is spacious with plenty of chair to sit. They provide basic amenities. Checkin and checkout process was smooth.
The only minor is the bed is in front of the door. So it’s not comfortable to sleep.

BBernard SchumacherLocation is great but the place itself looks old, there's a slight leakage in the room that we booked due to the heavy rain, the bathroom looks old. Service is fine, they do provide nice breakfast. Suggestion for improvement would be to renovate the place and make it look newer. One thing I really hate was the traffic noise in the middle of the night, I had a hard time sleeping because I kept on listening to those motorbike that always keep on passing by the hotel with their loud exhaust which really made it hard for me to sleep.
