What guests loved the most

“The standard room was smaller than I expected. Hence I requested for an upgrade - I didn't mind paying extra. Receptionist not only gave me an upgrade but it was for free. Friendly and customer-focused staffs. Definitely recommended!”

“This was a quaint hotel in the heart of the old KK town. The staff were friendly and so helpful; specifically providing us solutions for our continuing journey into the centre of Borneo. We were close to all manner of food options from restaurants to massive amounts of street food. So in line with the Malaysian culture.”
