Convenient but room conditions need improvements.

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Aug 2019via mobile
This hotel located pretty close to the harbour and Suria shopping mall. We had a room with sea view facing to the few Islands just outside KK city. For those who like beach activities, this place is recommended to fill up your holidays. The room conditions was not very satisfying and a little worn out and old. Staff were friendly. No swimming pool but you dont need to walk far to find place to eat. 24 hours store just at the lobby of the hotel.

The hotel’s main advantage is that it is next to Suria KK making access to shopping a breeze. The staff are also quite polite and accommodating. Another reason I like The hotel is also because it’s smoke free, especially comfortable for those who despise the smell of smoke. Due to the shape of the hotel, practically all the rooms have a window and access to a good view of KK. But the hotel doesn’t have a swimming which is a big disappointment as for example an infinity pool could go well with its stunning view of the ocean.
The Gym is very small and only has a few treadmills and dumb bells.

However, the only drawback is the hotel is quite old thus much of the infrastructure and facilities are in need of upgrading. Maintenon was somewhat lacking as much of the in room furniture and toilets have some degree of damage, though not to the point that they can’t be used, just it’s an annoyance to use them. The shower holder in my room was busted so the pipe was just hanging off the tap and the shower head on the floor. Although it seems there are efforts to upgrade the facilities, it’s still insufficient.

Overall, my stay was quite comfortable and the good location of the hotel allows for visiting most of the nearby attractions easily. The hotel is suitable for budget travellers but may not be favourable for those seeking something more grand.

I can calculate this city is same as Bangkok and Kuala lumpur 15 years before. Only people living style. Gaya Island is beautiful and sea food is cheaper than other parts of Malaysia. Have a nice and relax time there.

My family stayed 4 days 3 nights with 3 rooms..the rooms are clean with all basic amenities such shower gel, conditioner, soap, toothbrush, disposable hotel slipper, safe, mini fridge, tv and so on.

The hotel is in superb location as it is just opposite Suria Mall and with about 15 minutes walk from Jesselton Point and ferry terminal. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Nearby also has restaurants, McDonalds (Suria Mall Ground Floor, 24 hour convenience stores. The only setback is there is no 24 hour laundromat nearby. We have to take Grab to find a laundromat for washing clothes.

I will definitely come back and stay at the hotel again in future.
