The rooms are spacious and have sofas. Room service is also very considerate and promptly replenishes bottled drinking water. The breakfast is quite rich, and takeaway food bags and coffee cups are also provided.

If you are not at the hotel every day, you can choose a holiday for a full day of island hopping or a day trip. It is a good value for money in Kota Kinabalu. The opposite Daqielai is very close, just across the road from the hotel.

Better than the 5-star hotel opposite, the hotel is new and clean, but the breakfast is average

I booked a four-day stay, but couldn't check in on the first day because my flight was rescheduled for the next day. I contacted Ctrip right away to discuss a partial refund, but was flatly rejected. I booked a twin room with a sofa bed, but the room wasn't large, though the bathroom was relatively large. There aren't many shops nearby. There's a shop across the street, but the traffic light is broken, and traffic is very fast. I had to walk to the overpass in the distance to cross the road, which is about a 10-minute walk to the next shop, which isn't very convenient. The breakfast was also terrible, with limited variety. Overall, the value for money isn't great.

A very good stay experience. Luggage can be stored before and after check-in. The location is very convenient. A taxi to Gaya Street is only a few dollars. The overall environment is very clean. The breakfast is also quite rich and varied, and it is not worse than a resort twice the price.

The breakfast was average, and eating out required a detour across the street, which was inconvenient. Otherwise, it was okay. Having a self-service laundry room was convenient.
