Excellent location with many shops around. The busiest mall, Imago shopping mall is just a 10-minute walk. The hotel is equipped with a shared kitchen, washer and dryer. The room is clean. Check-in and out is easy with the instructions given.

My colleuqe like this hotel so much because it is not far from the airport and no need to enter KK town. The hotel was clean & comfort. It is just for one night transit to go to Miri for the next day.

Arrived around 6pm and the checked inn was smooth and steady. We got deluxe suite with 2 bedroom and living room. Breakfast was ok and acceptable. They have swimming pool and gym. Overall it was a good place to stay and location was superb near to phillipine market.

Really bad staff - they spoke really bad English and they weren’t helpful at all .
The door of the restaurant says open until 11pm , I arrived before 9.30pm , reed the menu and then when I was about to order they said the restaurant closes at 10pm and they don’t serve after 9.30pm. I’ve checked the watch and it was 9.32pm - and all they said was “sorry sir” with a smirk on their faces
Next day I asked I went to the concierge for some tips regarding the tour to see the Proboscis monkeys and he couldn’t explain anything at all. Also asked for some recommendations regarding where I could have a good steak he couldn’t also advise a restaurant.
Finally i put the car in the reception.
No one explained how the system worked. I had to wait for someone that spoke proper English to come and explain.
If I was in a 2 star lodge in the middle of nowhere I could understand such a bad staff but this was in a 4 star hotel in the capital of Sabah

Excellent facilities 😁!
Cleanliness is good.
Upon arrival around 3pm, no bellboy at the hotel to assist us with luggage.
The reception who helped us with our check in is very unprofessional.
2 of them have keropok on their desk and eat in front of me. Later they even exchange each other’s keropok. I didn’t see her wash hand before handling my hotel room key/document!
Other service, for aircon and hot water issue, after cll them, they came quite on time to fix problem.
The only reason I will return will be their hotel room size, excellent room view and breakfast view. Thank you

헤매고 헤매다가 참 좋은 숙소를 얻게 되었어요! 깨끗하고 정리 정돈이 잘 되어있고 호스트 분이 굉장히 친절하십니다. 다음 번에 또 가게 된다면 이 숙소로 다시 가고 싶어요! 또 이마고 쇼핑몰이 바로 아래에 있어서 정말 편리합니다. It's a really clean and nice accommodation. Thank you for taking good care of me. I recommend it to both Koreans and Koreans!

SSteven D.Lovely hotel, a little old (it opened in 1977) but you can feel it has got a lot of character. Kudos to EVIS from Bell Service, he’s a humble gentlemen who loves to engage with his guests. He assisted me with my luggage and escorted me to my room. He knows the hotel inside out and loves to share his insights. Also a shout out to MARY from front desk, she is amazing. She is multi functional with assisting me to check-in PLUS helping me with concierge matters regarding my flight ticket. Exceptional staff. Thank you for having me!

GGuest UserHotel is in a good central location. Staff are friendly and quick to assist. I reserved a room last minute and was still able to get a good deal for a good size room that was clean. Bed was comfortable. Free parking in the lot right in front of the hotel.

GGuest UserOne of the staff in reception was so rude. We came 2 hours earlier for early check in so later at 2pm we will just take the card. But at 2pm, another staff which is the rude one didnt said anything regarding the room either ready or not. She just busying herself with the phone. So we ask, why need to wait? She answered with a little bit high note, ”tiada bilik ready skg. Sy tunggu housekeeping update bilik kosong.” No appologies at all. We understand if no rooms available, but please inform guests & use your manners. Need to wait another 30 minutes to get a room. 🥲🥲

AAnonymous UserLocation is at Gaya street Kota Kinabalu. If you're staying during weekend, it privileged you for Gaya Sunday Market and night market. Hotel is near to shopping malls, pharmacy, eateries.

RRyan ThenDisappointing Service – Room Type Changed Without Notice & Flooding Incident
I had booked a sea-view room from 21st to 26th December, paying extra as I wanted to enjoy the sunset views during my stay. However, I was extremely disappointed with the service I received.
Due to a change of plans, I informed the front desk on 21st December, when I checked out, that I would be staying in Labuan for the night and checking in the following day instead. Despite this, when I arrived on 22nd December to check in, I was shocked to discover that my reserved sea-view room had been given away to another guest!
To make matters worse, I was assigned a city-view room without being informed of the change. I only found out after I went up to the room with my luggage, expecting the sea-view I had paid for. I then had to go all the way back down to the reception with my luggage to address the issue. When I raised my concerns, I was told that I was marked as a “no-show” on the 21st—even though I had clearly informed the staff in advance of my late check-in.
To add to the frustration, on the second day of my stay, the washing machine in my room caused flooding, leaving the floor soaked. Thankfully, a staff member named Rafiy quickly assisted me and provided excellent service to resolve the issue. I truly appreciate her professionalism and quick response, but the inconvenience of dealing with this after an already poor check-in experience was frustrating.
This level of service is completely unacceptable. Not only did I not get the room I paid for, but there was also no communication from the hotel regarding the change. This ruined my plans to enjoy the sunset views I had looked forward to so much.
While I commend Rafiy for her helpfulness during the flooding issue, I hope the hotel improves its communication, reservation management, and maintenance to ensure other guests do not face the same disappointment.
GGuest UserI initially stayed 2 nights January 2025, climbed Mt Kinabalu, and came back for another night. Different but similar rooms. Very comfortable bed, great shower; mini-fridge and safe also available.
Restaurant served good food. A pity the Spa wasn’t open as after my mountain climb I could hardly walk and my legs and back badly needed a massage!
Hamizam Bin Ismail, the Front Office Manager, was always very friendly and eager to assist wherever he could.

BBenjamin Sch.The Borneo Beach Villa is an unbeatable spot for a nice calm vacation. The beach is just beautiful although you fill find plastic stuff here and there. For younger (and older) children it’s perfect since the waterline is flat and you can walk easily 30-50 meters into the water. The waves are nice. there is no lifeguard on duty but you don't need one.
Don’t expect a new hotel for this price. We had nice beach front villa at the southern end of the site. At low tide you could walk the stays directly into the water, at high tide you need to go to the beach 100-200m. The sunset is beautiful. Hotel location would be 10 of 5 stars!
Make sure your Grab app works so you can order food since the restaurant is quite pricy for the offerings. Also getting away with a taxi will need some time and Grab. Go shopping and bring your own snacks and drinks upfront to enjoy the evenings. The breakfast is okay for the 3 days we stayed there but lacks some variety. They have a nice egg station for omelette and other things.
You are in nature so you need to be prepared for mosquitoes, sandflies and a cockroach here and there. But this is nothing which is really dramatic and can happen at the best places. We had all required sprays and used them when necessary. Some outdoor mosquito smoke lamps can also be useful.
Overall the family was very happy about our time there. The house is older but all items were functional. In case of support the technician was there in 15-30 minutes.
For the low price it’s a good place with a wonderful beach but if you don’t want to compromise quality furnishings or need nightlife this is not a suitable spot.
