We spent 2 nights in room no 307. We made a booking in advance via booking.com thanks to the opinions and appealing price (MYR 87 per night for a double room). What we found there was hugely disapponting. The reception is quite nice and the service is good. I'll start with the good things: - the reception is quite nice... More

This s quite a basic hotel but it is very reasonably priced and it is central Kota Kinabalu so handy for the harbour front and the markets and restaurants. It s about 15/20 minute drive from the airport -the cst if the taxi ride us 30 RM - about £5. The one down side is that it was noisy at... More

Bed bugs.!! Stay anywhere else.! We stayed at Pantai and the staff were lovely minus one. Our holiday involved a visit to the doctors due to bed bug attack. When we spoke to lovely staff they directed us to the female manager who quite honestly was uninterested and uncompassionate to our bed bug cause. She offered no compensation or care... More

I agree with others when they say the location of this inn is it's only greatest feature. Otherwise the stay wa pretty horrible. First of all the stink of cigarette smoke throughout the whole hotel is enough to give you constant nausea. Second the walls are SO thin! We couldn't sleep all night because we could hear every noise made... More

We stayed for only one night and the thing that we really like about the place is it's location because it is near the night market and also just a walking distance to wisma merdeka and bayview waterfront and other restaurants and establishments. We booked through booking.com and the frontdesk personnel are friendly, thought they know a little english so... More

It's been a couple of years since I stayed here (March 2011), but I doubt much has changed in that time. Apologies for the late review. The hotel is well located, and less than 10 minutes walk to the promenade, Jessleton Jetty, main shopping malls and high streets. There are lots of good cafes and bars along the road the... More

We stayed in July before climbing Mount Kinabalu. The rooms were basic but very clean. The location is great. I would recommend getting a room with a window. There wasn't one available for us on the first night but we move the next day and it was much better.

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.
