Fine for the price but the accommodation is tired, the toilets block (two rooms in our group had this problem) and the showers can flood through the gap to the rest of the bathroom. Beds are comfortable enough. Really dirty underneath the beds though in all the rooms our group had. Breakfast was good and we also had one dinner here which was good too. Good, central location and not too noisy.

Spacious Room with great service

Loved the room size and the view facing the padang. Had a great view of the fireworks for the Malaysia Day celebration. Breakfast spread can be further improve but loving the staff warmth & friendliness especially the trainee by the name Ms. Afrijinia. Housekeeping was super efficient and had the room clean & tidied during our breakfast time. Overall, very happy with the stay and will definitely return again when I'm in KK.

Infront hotel is local transport hub, close to busy road. 100m to Gaya Night Street. 15minutes walk to CentrePoint Mall and Waterftont. Bedding a bit dated. Buffet breakfast is basic but is ok.

가성비 좋은 숙소

밤 늦게 코타키나발루 도착해서 하룻밤 자기 위한 숙소로는 좋지만 장시간 머물기에는 썩 청결하지 못한 곳입니다. 화장실 같은 경우에는 시대의 흔적이 많이 보이고, 방에 들어가자마자 바닥에 물이 고여있는 걸 볼 수 있었습니다. 늦게 도착하시는 분들에게 자정이 넘어서까지 체크인이 되기 때문에 하룻밤 머무는 정도로 추천합니다.

완전 비추천

어차피 해수욕 할거같고 조식도 준다그래서 가성비로 선택한건데...너무 별로에요.. 일단 둘째날 아침에 단수가 돼서 씻지도 못하고 일정시작했고 일정마치고 돌아오니 이번엔 온수가 안나와서 리셉션에 불러서 해결했어요. 수압은낮아서 볼일보고 변기가 막혔고 치약같은 기본적인 어매니티는 없었고 샴푸는 무슨 싸구려 올인원하나있어서 그냥 가져온거 썼어요. 리셉션 직원들은 영어를 잘 못해서 두세번은 말해야 알아듣고 전화도 잘 안받아요. 수건 갈아달라고 세번 전화해도 안오길래 친구랑 수건 나눠쓰고 나갈때 리셉션에 말해서 갈아달라고함; 조식은 완전 현지식인데다 부실한 현지식이어서; 그냥 돈 더 주고 글로벌 체인 호텔 가세요 아무리 숙소에 돈 안쓰는 스타일이어도 여기는 좀 별로네요

モスクが近いので、早朝５時とか大音量でうるさい。 泊まった部屋は６階の海が見える良い部屋で大満足。 シャワーとトイレが一緒の空間にあり、一応ガラスで仕切られているものの、シャワーの水がトイレの足元に流れてくることがある。洗面台の横にトイレットホルダーがついていて、洗面所を使うと水が飛んで、トイレットペーパーが濡れることがあるので注意。 総合的には値段の割にスタッフのサービス対応が非常に良かったので、また泊まりたいと思う。

地點好 ，價錢合理

每次來沙巴都在這裡住宿，不經不覺已超過五年。今次適逢酒店維修 ，希望會搞好內部設施，最重要是將舊地氈更換或改造仿製木地板。餐飲方面多年來都沒有改變，餐牌上的款式及早餐的款式，多年來是千篇一律。令人看到也變得沉悶！
