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.

Vast breakfast buffet was excellent, but would recommend to go earlier to avoid crowds. Rooms were very spacious and we were celebrating our honeymoon and staff made lovely touches to the room to welcome us! Amazing gym with lots of equipment and tennis and pickle ball courts. Spa was great too.

The property was comfortable, spacious and clean. The neighborhood was quiet. Host was very responsive and friendly. It was very convenient as it was above a shopping mall with easy access to the mall. Taxi drop off and pick up was just outside the lobby door. Easy access to the pool, gym and gardens. Nice view of the garden. Kitchen facilities were ample.

    Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
