Promenade Service Apartment
Everything was okay but I would like to suggest to hotel management about quiteness around the hotel. I often wake up during my sleep in the midnight by people stayed around the hotel. Maybe can put signboard not to make noise from 10pm onwards. The kids running and shouting all nights

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.

Golden Hill Hotel
Its great for a short stay but for a long stay I would not recommend it. Unless they do something with the smell along the way in the hallway.

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!
