We just wanted somewhere to crash for the night after we’d climbed Kinabalu and were resentful of the amount of cash the Sutera mountain monopoly had sucked out of us, so rejected the extorionate in-park options. This place has the perfect location - a 5 min 10RM taxi from the Park HQ, with knock-out view of the mountain and surrounding... More

We stayed here awaiting our start to trek up the mountain and were impressed by the overall room and facilities. Reasonable cost and basic but tasty food available. We also got the local bus to the town/park entrance for RM1 and had even better food in view of the mountain. Overall, great for the cost and view that you get! More

We were not climbing the mountain, but we wanted a good view and this place delivered on the view (little balconies out the back of each room guarantee you can at least see the clouds, if not the mountain itself). It's fairly old fashioned but clean and functioning. Nice touch of having hot and cold water available. 2km from Park... More

This was a good clean place to stay on the night before our Mount Kinabalu climb. It had a PC but no wifi. Room was old, but spacious with a TV, and a good balcony with views to the mountain. The owner will charge a small fare to drop you off in the moring to the mountain, but he didn´t... More

The location is good where the room facing mountains gives you a breathtaking scenery looking over to Mount Kinabalu. However, the attitude of the lady at the counter is really bad. The water heater in my room is not working. A cold shower in a rainy day could be a bad experience. I will not recommend this hotel for a... More

It was quiet. It was comfortable. The food was good. Any of these things going horribly wrong would not have change my positive opinion because I loved the view. It was a weekday night so we were one of only two rooms booked, so the result was a peace on the balcony that I have rarely found in South East... More

Not the same management apparently as when we stayed there last year during our climb up mount kinabalu. 1) Lady behind the counter needs a crash course in customer relations and to stop changing prices on travellers. On the phone, we were quoted one date. When we arrived, we were quoted RM35 more per person. We ended up having a... More

We wanted to stay outside the park for cost reasons in the night before starting the Mount Kinabalu climb and we liked it there. The views of the mountain was fabulous from the balcony and the bed was nice and comfy. However, you cant be fussy if you sleep there as we had a cockroach in the bathroom and the... More

As the title says, I think this accommodation is a good choice when heading for, or coming from the National Park. The location is a 20 minutes walk from the park entrance (dangerous road and driving behaviours, so watch out). The place itself is like a asian style motel including restaurant and meeting rooms. It felt a bit rundown, but... More

We've been there twice, before and after climbing the mountain. First, we had a clean but basic room ( RM 150 incl.American breakf.) OK for 1 night. When we came back, the owner gave us a cozy room, in the right part of the building for the same price. Of course,the hotel was empty, and that's the reason. Those cozy... More
