Consider acceptable for short trip.
Reasonable priced, however got to walk up flight of stairs. Considerably spacious room. Friendly receptionist. Located between two restaurant, hence covenience to eat. But fire risk is also higher since restaurants used fire for cooking. Muslim may not want to stay here because it located in between two pork selling restaurants.

1 night stay for athletic types of people
Convenient location but setback are, small room with very poor water pressure especially staying on top floor. Doesn't know how to place people in the appropriate floor. Have to walk up the staircase to top floor, ie.3rd floor carrying luggages. And more so not for senior citizen like us.

A cheap place to stay in a great location.
The hotel is budget but right of the main street along the river. Hotel is feels comfortable but there are a lot of stairs. I had to go up two flights then back down two flights (on another staircase) to get to my room. Room was simple but smelled damp and moldy. Good if you are just staying a day or two and want a cheap place to stay.

The hotel was in a good location near tu pasar Filipino and suria sabah. But if u holiday with u mum who has problem with knee I'm totally not suggest this hotel because they don't have lift. Its also make u suffer when to take up all of ur luggage.

Nice Hotel Near Jesselton Ferry Terrminal
Nice comfortable hotel. But they have no ;lift and we had to carry our luggage to the third floor. The bathrooms are very cramped . But over all was comfortable for a budget stay... The Hotel seemed empty but I did not understand why they did not give us a room at a lower floor. The staff were friendly...especially Rosey at the reception, it is close to the ferry terminal, seven eleven and many Malls nearby. The Sabah Tourist Board is close by.

Strategic location, value for money
Location good - walking distance to shopping complex like Suria Sabah, Wisma Merdeka, KK Plaza, Centre Point and places of interest like Jesselton point, waterfront, night market. Wifi was not very good. Had to go out of the room to get signal. TV volume can't be controlled (i stayed in two different rooms, both rooms had d same problem). Nowhere to hang your towel/clothes in the toilet, no hook provided in the toilet. Shower curtain can't fully cover the window in the toilet, had to be careful when using the toilet

저렴한 값에 비해 좋은 호텔
2만원도 안 하는 가격에 불만을 품는건 문제가 있지만 어쨌든 화장실 문이 없는건 불편하네요. 그래도 이 값에 머물다 가는데에 큰 불편은 없는 정도입니다. 침대 위에 수건이랑 어메니티 놓여있어서 좋네요. 아, 참고로 계단 없어서 짐 들고 올라가다가 죽네요.
