Overall, my experience here was good. The stay was comfortable, the service was reliable, and everything met my expectations for the price. No major complaints—I’d definitely consider staying here again.

I arrived at 9 AM and was immediately checked in. After a good sleep, I headed out to explore. No deposit was required, which was a nice touch. The staff were all smiles and made me feel right at home. Next time I'm in Kota Kinabalu, I'll definitely choose this place again. The privacy is excellent, and the capsule rooms are great. It's also conveniently located near the Central Market and Gaya Street, making it easy to get around.

The location is convenient; there's a local diner (cha chaan teng) downstairs, along with a 24-hour Seven Eleven and a buy-one-get-one-free Apple Mini Mart. It's also close to the Big Gala Seafood Restaurant, and there's a McDonald's, KFC, and a Center World shopping mall nearby. The hotel service is great too. Definitely worth staying here.

Every evening we can hear loud banging outside . During our last night, We realize our room door cannot be lock from inside hence there was a stranger open our room door , my sister in law was in shock and we stayed awake the whole night since the next day we are checking out. We also didnt sleep well cause We can hear stomping from above our room during 10pm till 12am .
Love the Unbeatable Scenery: Situated high on a hillside, it offers what many consider the best, panoramic views of Mount Kinabalu in the area.Updated Rooms: Recent renovations have improved room comfort, with spacious layouts making it a solid base for family trips.Convenient Location: It provides a peaceful, quiet environment while remaining just a few minutes' drive from Kundasang town and local attractions.

I stayed on the 7th floor in room 71X facing the main road. The room was generally fine, but being next to the main road means you can clearly hear traffic noise throughout the day and night.
Another issue was that every time I turned on the water heater for a shower, there was a noticeable smell coming from the bathroom. I’m not sure what the smell was, but it was quite obvious whenever the hot water was running.
Overall, the stay was okay.

The room is new and the bedding is very comfortable. However, the air conditioning blowing directly onto the bed isn't ideal. The overall hygiene is excellent, and check-in was very convenient. They also recommended some great local restaurants suitable for Chinese palates, which was a big plus – no bad choices there! Early check-in and early check-out were possible, though regular check-in requires a cash deposit. I would NOT recommend room 709; the window is terrible, with almost zero soundproofing. It's right next to the airport, so a plane takes off every ten minutes or so. Plus, there are motorbikes on the main road nearby, so don't expect to sleep before 3 AM. Kota Kinabalu isn't big; a taxi to Jesselton Point is only about ten-something MYR during off-peak hours.
Very Good

BBella1994All was good except for the WiFi service. The staff were good. It has no lift by the way and our family room with 2 queen beds and 1 sofa bed was on the 2nd floor. Using only stair to lift up our baggage. This facility has it's own parking lot which save our time not to look for a space to park our car.
TTom EvtimovOne of the best solution for quit hotel outside of city if you have or rent car. The room is huge, all is new and very comfortable. The stuff is great and friendly. Also there is restaurant inside and supermarket near. Laundry machines 10 meters near hotel. Highly recommend to stay for visiting many Sabah places - 1 hour for mount Kinabalu, 1 hour Kota Marudu, 30 min to river cruises, from 15 min Kota Belud, and 1 hour for KK if you want go there (don’t know for what).
Definitely great hotel for families or couples with romantic view and the best price 👍
GGuest UserSmall rooms. They don't even provide toothbrush. Water heater makes a loud sound when on. Hot shower do not function well. But amazing view! Do they wash their bedsheets? Didn't smell fresh, smells like someone's hair
YyoumeiyouThis hotel is suitable for an overnight stay if you're catching an early flight after a Kinabatangan River cruise. The room was a bit dark, but everything else was fine. It has a cabin-style vibe with a small garden and a tiny pool. As for breakfast, it's just like a standard budget hotel breakfast, so don't expect too much. The staff were very enthusiastic.
The nearby Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC) is very close and worth a visit, and you can also book a night tour there. As for the Sun Bear Conservation Centre and the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, honestly, only go if you're really bored and have money to spare! Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) really misleads people; anyone who goes will regret it. Once you've been, you'll truly understand the quality of the zoos back home.
The Sun Bear Centre just cages a few bears. The orangutan centre is no different: everyone sits in a glass enclosure watching a group of monkeys (not orangutans!) eat bananas and vegetables on an outdoor platform – basically watching them ”mukbang.” Then you watch a few orangutans ”mukbang” on another open-air platform. We couldn't bear to watch it. After seeing how wild animals live on the Kinabatangan River, these scenes were just unbearable.

LLaoxiangbaziStayed for five nights. Don't worry too much about the facilities or the internet, and the food was decent. The highlight is definitely the abundance of animal friends you won't see anywhere else. I highly recommend the hotel's night safari; it's much better than the RDC's. You'll find all sorts of sunbirds right at the hotel, three types of kingfishers (Stork-billed, Blue-eared, and Rufous-backed Dwarf Kingfisher), hornbills, monkeys, squirrels, and lizards. Five stars!
AAnonymous UserThe location is quite convenient, and there is ample free parking available. The outdoor environment is pleasant, well-maintained, and clean, making it a nice place to relax. There is also a BBQ pit provided, although guests need to bring their own utensils and ingredients.
One downside is that there is no refrigerator in the room. The bed makes some slight noise, but it is still acceptable for a short stay. The room also comes with a small balcony, which is great for enjoying the night view.
Check-in and check-out are quick and hassle-free. An ironing board is available at the reception area, and a hairdryer can be borrowed upon request.
Overall, considering the price, it offers very good value for money.
AAnonymous UserThe hotel was very clean and smelled nice.. Only the staff's attitude was bad. Please improve your reception, the hotel is great, but with staff like that, the business won't go anywhere. I called earlier, and the staff told me the room was on the 2nd floor, but when I arrived, it was on the 3rd floor. I have asthma, and having to climb stairs to the 3rd floor felt like a complete lie. When I asked, the staff answered rudely. At that time, it was a male staff member on duty!
TTrippingtheuniverseSemporna is an interesting place to visit, with several islands surrounded by coral reefs for snorkeling and diving, more beautiful than many other snorkeling spots worldwide. Staying at this hostel instead of moving to an island resort is a good way to budget. And not only that, the fish market in Semporna is the most incredible one I have seen, seafood like lobsters, large shrimps, crabs so fresh, not even the one at Kota Kinabalu can be compared good as it was too. The DZ hostel lady staff was very helpful and can arrange for island trips at a reasonable price. The dorms are separated into boys and girls, something I truly appreciate. The bathrooms faced the afternoon sun, so they were dried easily and kept clean. Laundry by machine was offered free, a super plus for swimmers. The hostel also offered local Malay snack food for breakfast, and coffee or tea were always available. To be honest, it's a good budget place to stay while splurging on the island tours. It's a bit sad that no cooking is allowed here, even though there was a kitchen. Sad because the seafood mentioned above was so available. The facade of the building is nothing to boast about, and like many places, the external (streets, pavement, eyc) can be a mess. That should not deter visiting this part of the world mainly because the sea in this area is astoundingly replenished with marine life.
Hhairconditionerdecent for a short one night stay, it's a small and cozy room. Price was one of the cheapest so can't really complain, but the blanket was razor thin.
