The hotel is very nicely decorted and harks back to the colonial era. Located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu (a city that serves mostly as a arrival/departure point for places of far greater interest on the island), the hotel has kept an air of old-world sophistication. These is also a decent italian restaurant on the ground floor. The only... More

The best advantage of this hotel is its location: restaurants doors away, Suriah Sabah Mall 5minutes, Jesselton Terminal - 10minutes, Waterfront and Central Market - 10minutes. Gaya Sunday Market is at its doorstep. The bed was really comfortable and the room was ok given the building's age. The bathroom was a little small but served its purpose. Would recommend this...

Rooms are fairly clean, with visible attempts at updating its decor and fixtures. Bed was slightly hard, but not a big problem. Bathroom was ok, but a friend in another room mentioned... More

We spent 3 nights here and found the hotel to be in need of a little care and attention. We had a suite and it was very comfortable, but there were lots of little things wrong. For example, the mini bar was broken and therefore empty. There was everything in the room to make coffee except a kettle. Dirty laundry... More

Lovely old place - built in 1954 as a luxury colonial hotel when the entire city centre was rebuilt after the British & Japanese pretty much destroyed it during 2nd world war fighting. Has pictures of Lady Mountbatten being served tea there in the late 50s by a young waiter who still works there today, and the friendly housekeepers wear... More
