The service of the staff was fantastic and they were very friendly and helpful. However, shower caps, slippers, toothbrush and paste were not provided. No fridge. A mirror and a dustbin are found in the bathroom and not found in the bedroom. No lift. There are 3 levels - ground, first floor and second floor. The hotel offers free transport to the airport.

The hotel used to be very nice, but NOT ANY MORE

Airport transfer was not provided, instead I was told to use Grab to the hotel, and airport transport for late night and early morning costs so expensive that it's not worth staying this hotel. Wifi also not usable, which betrays the ad on Hotel.com. Hotel's facilities are outdated overall, not at all comfortable. I used to like this hotel and have been a loyal customer for more than 6 years, but since the hotel management changed a few years ago, their service started deteriorate. I don't think I no longer stick to this hotel. The hotel has lost one loyal customer.

Its what you would expect from a budget hotel however it has a lot of rooms for improvements especially the toilet. The hotel was close to the beach and the airport.

가능하면 다른 호텔 추천

저렴한 호텔에 대해서 가능하면 후하게 평을 하는편이며 철저히 가격을 고려하여 후기를 남기는데.. 여긴 좀 많이 안 좋은 평을 해야 할 거 같음. 에어콘은 덜덜 거리며 이상한 기름 냄새가 나고 아침까지 고장나지 않길 기도하며 밤을 보냄...청결은 뭐 침대 시트만 양호하고 나머지는 정말 오래된 관리안된 상태..와이파이는 거의 사용이 불가능할 정도였으며 방문 열쇠가 낡아 들어올때 참 어렵게 열고 다님. 방은 엄청 좁으며 창문 잠금장치는 고장. 공항에서 가까워서 새벽에 잠깐 자려고 예약했지만 코타키나발루 택시비가 워낙 저렴한 걸 몰라서 잘못 판단함. 딱 하나 맘에 드는건 카운터에 있는 귀여움 매니저분 뿐.. 말레이시나는 정말 저랑 안 맞는듯 함. 올때마다 안좋은 추억만 쌓임.
