It was great! I can spend a whole day staying in this hotel without going out. All is perfect, with complete facilities. There is also a vcd player. I don't have to go to the cinema, only buying a rm5 cd and then enjoy the movie all night. Will definitely going back to this hotel. Good services! Also, the price is so affordable. Clean and tidy. Great job! Thanks for the wonderful stay here.

Courtyard Hotel @ 1Borneo
It's a quite nice hotel. The greatest thing here is the Android TV with Netflix accounts. Overall, it's worth staying here

SUPER OYO 89944 Stay Inn
So frustrated. Checking in late because flight got delayed but then still got this kind of room. Unattended. Looks like somebody else just got out of this room right bfr I checked in without room service at all. Not recommended at all. Luckily I'm just staying here for a night bfr I can check in to another hotel. Yes it's cheap but still not worth it. Rm100 for a night in this condition is so frustrating.

Hotel Deleeton Kota Kinabalu
Good location, but untrustworthy, irresponsible and unfriendly staff. We booked 4 rooms but only 2 rooms in good condition, another 2 rooms the toilet door spoiled & AC no working, promised to come to service but until we check out the AC still remain the same, hope they can improve their services and facilities or else nobody will come in the future.

Impiana Mutiara Hotel @ Kampung Air
Location is opposite a night market. A bit distance from gaya street. Room condition is totally different from the picture shown in their ads. Room is small, with funny smell inside every time I get into my room. I can hear people talking outside and banging their door at midnight. The lucky thing is air conditioner is still cold and hot water shower is still hot. Will I come again? NO!
