Fine

Underwhelming. Hotel was fine for the price as the city is very expensive for budget travelers. We were able to walk to restaurants and shopping which was nice. The actual street the hotel is on is very smelly and full of cockroaches. But inside the hotel is clean and comfortable. Recommend for budget traveler but not if your looking for something nice.

Incredibly helpful and friendly staff.

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We left our baggage at the hotel overnight while hiking Mt Kinabalu, and then again when we went to stay overnight on Sapi Island. They were very happy to accommodate our requests. The rooms are generously sized, and good value. The hotel is conveniently located to many local restaurants. Free WIFI in rooms appreciated.
