This is a very fine modern hotel located in the heart of Kota Kinabulu. We particularly appreciated the fact that it was a short walk to the restaurant row on the waterfront which offered outdoor seating and a variety of cuisines.
Spotless room, spacious in size and good restaurant buffet. The hotel is abit older so the AC made noise all night, menu at pool bar could have western ie burger and chips. Location is great!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was a good size. The front desk staff was helpful and kind.
The room could have been cleaner.. the carpet had some very terrible staining and there was mold around the shower. It could be great with a bit more love. Also one day I had new towels and the next day they would take all the towels away… there was little consistency in the cleaning. The hotel was in a great location.
Fantastic stay we had the best sunset views over the bay the staff were all extremely friendly and efficient. We are coming back in a couple if days after we go to sandakan. Highly recommend this hotel the markets and restaurants all close
We really enjoyed our recent stay. The highlights were: absolutely wonderful staff, some of the best food as well as variety for breakfast a d dinner in the club lounge, a great pool and plenty of shaded sun lounges, fantastic live music Wed. to Sat. And great location.
