Stella at the front desk and her manager allowed us to transfer to a bigger room with no extra charge. The bell boys who also double as door men would always open the... More

we stayed for 3days, and it impressed us with the good location and clean room, it is very closed to some famous resteraunt, but a little far away from the seafood night market,since Kinabalu is not a big city, 15minutes walk way is not too long. The breakfast is just so so, the selection is less than I thought. Anyway,... More

For less than 60 USD a night you really can't complain. Location is fantastic with Suria Sabah just a hop away. There is no pool or gym but really for that price.... The room was clean and the sheets starched and clean too. TV channels rather limited though. Breakfast was nice and on a good day having breakfast outside looking... More
