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.

I had a great time in Lavender Lodge. At first it was difficult to navigate because the signage is small but I when I reached the place and go around the city it was so easy already. It is in strategic location which is accessible to all; few minutes walk from the bus terminals, few minutes walk to KK waterfront, Filipino Market, clock tower, and other attractions. Staff were very kind. Gemma who is a receptionist including others were kind enough to help me with all my needs. I definitely recommend this place.

The owner (Alan) was very considerate. He gave us the best deals (maybe not all), but he was very helpful. He gave us very good discounts and help us our way through the City. He gave us tips on what to do and encouraged us to go to other places. The cabin was also great, clean, organized and comfy. Mr. Alan referred us to his great friend Mr Fred (Dato Chua Kim) who was the owner of the Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit Resort [I highly recommend this resort! - good food, great people!]. He was very kind enough to give us a tour of the "Old china town" of Borneo. He told us about the history and its original people. I recommend this place. Location very convenient and within the heart of Kota. Really nice for backpackers.

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

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.

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!
