It was our best stay here in Kota Kinabalu, the staff is so kind and efficient. They were very available for any information. They gave us good advice on our trips. There are many facilities and the apartment is very well located in the city center. In terms of interior design, it is worthy of very beautiful hotels, not very big but you feel very good there. I can only suggest it for a stay in Kota Kinabalu 100%. Thanks again to the kind staff.

We were only one night there because of the time between two flights. Everything was great! Unfortunately we could not really enjoy all the facilities... The roof top is just fantastic for watching sun set and the airplanes at the airport...

The most clean and comfortable hotel room ever. Great shower design with amazing water pressure and modern look. Great towels and super crisp clean sheets and comfortable beds with pillows. Wish I could have stayed longer. Breakfast was also impressive. Access to a washing machine and dryer was very convenient.

It was perfect. Worth the price paid for one night. The location was on top of the Suria Sabah shopping mall. It's also near the night markets and seafood dining areas. The staffs were friendly and amazing. The room was clean, everything was in great working order. It was also facing the sea. Very beautiful. Will visit again when I travel to Sabah again (:

The room was big and really comfortable. Shower and bathroom facilities were perfect. It’s on top of a mini shopping mall. Has a gym which was adequately equipped for a short stay. Checkout is 12 so we got the opportunity to use the gym and facilities. And they held on to our bags for a few hours after check out while we got some food. There is a kfc and dominoes a stones throw away and a little shopping district there which has better options than the mall tbf.

    We originally booked for 3 nights but ended up with 8 nights. Hotel has that cool, modern boutique vibe about it. Furnishings were of high quality, spacious, staff were well trained and the design of the hotel is just gorgeous. The location was a short walking distance to Imago, convenient stores and cafes / restaurants. This will be our go-to hotel in KK now. Special mention to Linda from Reservation who is went out of her way to accommodate our wish.
