We checked in at night and was greeted with a lovely clean and spacious room! Our king size bed could fit three! or maybe four haha! l strong rain shower , island sink and an ironing board and iron to boot! The room did not have a musty smell despite the fact that Hyatt Regency is a pretty old hotel.... More

This hotel is pretty old and dated. In some places the décor doesn't seem to have been updated since the hotel was built (quite a while ago!) We booked into a club room, but there was a mix up with the booking so we were given a suite, which was huge! It was comfortable enough, but again, in parts was... More

I stayed here for eight nights at the end of April/beginning of May on a business visit. The front desk staff are very friendly, warm, courteous, efficient and professional. A couple of them even remembered my name and addressed me as such in the mornings. Given the amount of people passing through a hotel of that size, I found that... More

Found this hotel to be a little old when I first walked in to the lobby. But despite that, when I checked into the room, I was pleasantly surprised at the elegant design of the room and how well kept it was. I got the opportunity to check into 2 rooms with different layouts. The first night, the wash basin... More

This is a nice, if rather dated hotel, with very old fashioned décor in the public areas. We had a large very comfortable room, almost spotlessly clean, with a very nice bathroom and shower. The aircon was not very powerful, and turns off when you leave the room, so leave a business card or similar in the ‘master switch’ if... More

At first I was given at the room where I am just above the roof and at the very end corner which is creppy as there isn't much people staying on that floor. The room doesn't have much space and the window is very tiny which I can only slightly look through to the sea. I went to their spa... More

I ended up my trip of Borneo with a stay for a few nights at the Hyatt Regency and it was wonderful! Food was amazing - especially the buffets which were beautifully and artistically designed as well as delicious. The staff were so helpful and kind to us while we were there and keen to assist us in any way... More

As the title explains. This Hyatt is average compared to other Hyatt's I have visited and stayed in. The rooms have been refurnished which gives it an appearance that it is a new hotel but in reality it is not. The only comment I can add to my review about this hotel you cant beat the location which is near... More
