The location of the hotel is great. Jesselton Quay, from where the boats depart for the small islands, is just a few minutes' walk away. The hotel is well equipped. Breakfast is worthwhile, especially for lovers of Asian food. Dinner is also recommended. The cocktails in the bar are excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

favourite place. cozy, can cook, most important is big screen tv and Netflix. I spend most my time in the room relaxing with coffee and watch nexflix. Really enjoyed the stay. And I don’t have to worries about car park safety because they have “CAR VENDING PARK”. Amazing!!!

Room is very spacious, very comfortable bed. My room is facing the sunset so I get to see beautiful color of sunset. Grab is available and the location is very strategic, hence the grab price is affordable. Will surely book here for my next visit.

Apart from a young gentleman handing us the key, our contact was through Whattsapp which was ok. The lady booked a river cruise for us at the last moment, and it was outstanding. For a budget hotel, it was a good deal and I would recommend it. Location was good too.

Value for money. Good location, very ideal for people who want to walk around and explore the city by foot. Decent size rooms for the price you're paying. And they even have irons & ironing boards in the hallways for you to use/borrow when needed. A plus is that it has an elevator (lift).

there are few restaurants nearby the hotel, like the bask bear coffee, grill patio, KFC, speedmart 99 and 7eleven. all are 1 minutes walking distance. and if you only intend to stay at the city, no need to rent a car, just use maxim cuz the hotel location is strategic enough and its cheaper.
