Hotel is conveniently situated in the city centre. A short walk to the harbour and markets, restaurants, and a shopping mall. Rooms are spacious and has everything a traveller might need. As with most hotels in Malaysia, it needs some housekeeping attention and maintenance.

I stayed in a one bedroom apt . It was clean and has a big balcony . It was within walking distance to food , shopping and the jetty . Good strategic location if you are on foot .

We stayed here for 3 nights and we had a great time. The suite had three bedrooms and the service staff cleaned our used plates, which we really appreciated. The location is excellent since it is right beside the Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal, which greatly facilitates our trips to adjacent islands. And it is very close to the Gaya Sunday Market. The location is unbeatable. The room is clean and spacious.

We were given a room looking out to the sea; great view. Once the vacant lot between the hotel and the sea is constructed, the view of the sea will be blocked. Bed is comfortable. Service is good. What pulled down the score is the hotel conditions. There are stains along the edging of the shower screens and walls. The bathroom grout is clean. There are moldy spots in the tiles of the swimming pool grout at the water level.

Hotel is dated and not the cleanest. But the location is pretty good, as many things are within walking distance. I feel like for the price we paid this was fine, but don't come in with high expectations.
Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023

10/10

The hotel is located in a busy area with lots of dining options. It's steps away from the ferry port which takes you to the surrounding islands. I found the staff less helpful compared to other SE Asian countries, things like not helping with booking tours. Little things like not greeting you when you walk by the front desk, but that really was not an issue, just a noticeable difference from other places. Overall, the hotel is good and i would recommend a stay here.

I bought the brand, we were very dissatisfied. We add the choice because we needed a 2 bedroom unit. We should have just got 2 rooms somewhere else
