Arrived in KK after mid night and leaving to north early morning the next day so we decided to go cheap. Location was great. Very basic. The A/C control was not working. Very small room. Has running hot water. Quite clean. Staffs are helpful and smiley. More

Friendly staff, good location, quiet at night, clean room with hot water shower--If 84RM/night is in your price range for a double room (no breakfast), then I would definitely recommend booking this place. Laundry is 8RM per kilo and can be done the same day. If you're interested in visiting an island in the national marine park while you're staying... More

Hotel is very basic. Clean room and with hot shower. It is in the middle of the city and Gaya street is just a few steps at the back where you can buy stuff of all kinds on Sunday mornings. Staff is friendly and can help you with bookings for local tours. The hotel has no restaurant but eateries are... More

Good location, nice frienly staff, many restaurants close by, walking distance to most places and very reasonable price. That is why this hotel is not bad at all. In fact, it is quite good. More

Stayed in Pantai Inn, KK Jan 27-30, 2012 and was booked by a friend( they do not have a website). Their location is central with restos around, a nearby supermarket, walking distance to Atkinsons Clock, Segawa walkway, Jesselton Ferry terminal and malls. Great hotel and very accommodating staff.

Can't beat the central location. Stayed here for a couple nights and the hotel staff were more than friendly. The hotel is starting to fade, and could use a face lift but it was fairly clean, hot water showers, and not musty. No food, but plenty to choose from by way of a short stroll. More

The room was RM83 per night and, as others have written, not very big but not really too small if you're not planning on staying in all day. Clean, maybe not the cleanest ever but certainly nothing that would bother me. Staff is friendly and helped me organize a day trip. Private shower. TV, although none of channels were in... More

Yes, the rooms are teeny. So much so, that you can shower and use the toilet at the same time. However, I've had smaller rooms in London, where the experience was quite miserable. What made this different? The fact that they had very fast and consistent wifi, the cleaning service was spotless, and the restaurant directly connected to the hotel... More

This hotel was great. Yes, the rooms are small, but why would anybody be spending time in them?! The staff were absolutely superb and so so friendly. Location good, just a few streets from the waterfront and the amazing night market. Clean rooms, tv set, air con, hot water, decent bathroom. When I go back to KK, I'll stay there... More
