가지 마세요...

첫날 도착을 밤에해서 잠만잘거니 제셀턴이랑 가깝고 싼데면 괜찮겠지 싶어서 예약했던건데.. 정말 비추합니다.. 프론트 여직원은 친절했지만, 그 외엔 숙소 내 좋은점이 하나도 없었습니다. 우선 객실 바닥이 욕실바닥?처럼 되어있고 실내용슬리퍼도 없어서 신발을 신고 다녔습니다^^; 짐풀기도 찜찜했고, 창문은 달려는 있으나 커튼이 쳐진 상태로 열수도 없으며, 객실 내에 벌레와 모기가 정말 많아서 하..ㅠㅠ 샤워를하고 모기기피제를 듬뿍 뿌리고 자는 희귀한 경험을 했습니다... 위즈마와 제셀턴은 걸어갈 수 있는 위치였기 때문에 그 점은 좋았으나 그거보고 가기에는 도저히 잘만한 곳이 아닙니다. 작은 테이블 하나도 없어서 캐리어위에서 컵라면 먹었습니다. 한국 시골 민박보다 안좋습니다. 만원더쓰시면 훨씬 안락하게 잘수있어요...가지마세요ㅠㅠ

1 night stay at Hotel Garden

I had a room without windows. The stay was fine, but i heard dogs barking in the middle of the night, so i was awaken by the noise, but it only lasted for a while, then i went back to sleep.

绝佳的地点

酒店就在山脚下，去加雅街吃饭、去山顶看日落、去码头乘船跳岛都非常方便，附近还有超市，买东西买手信不用提多久。

An ok hotel for budget traveler looking for a hotel in KK city center. Only the receptionist command of english is a bit lacking and seems unsure of what he was doing.

창문도 없고. 다리미질 하는 스탠드에는 개미가 기어다니네요;;; 호텔에서 개미가 득실대는거 본적은 처음;;; 잠깐 자는거라 제일 싼걸로 했다가 큰 후회 했습니다.

Kan inte rekommenderas!

Helt värdelöst! Inget fönster trots "superior room", vattnet - både varmt och kallt - tog slut efter en halv dusch. Kändes som ett fängelse. Inte prisvärt trots det låga priset. Finns betydligt mer prisvärda alternativ i närheten.

Hotel in the city outskirt

The hotel staffs were very friendly. The hotel located very near to some landmarks of Kota Kinabalu. Very suitable for backpackers or tourists who plan to do sightseeing or spend time exploring KK, as the amenities of this hotel are very basic.

Hotel Facilities - wifi not working

Value for money. Small room and able to provide a good sleep. I was given a room in level 3 and if you bring a heavy luggage then better get the lowest floor. The staircase a bit steep and elevator service the upper floor.

Близко к центру

Пробыл в отеле 6 дней. Отель чистый, небольшой. Персонал дружелюбный. Есть гостевой компьютер с интернет. В номерах чисто. Сами номера маленькие, но для ночёвки достаточно. Отель удобно расположен в центре города. Рядом смотровая площадка и торговые центры. 10-15 минут пешком до рынка. 10 минут пешком до маршрутки до Кудасана. Мне понравилось.

ホテルにお金をかけたくないかたにおすすめです

普通のホテルのつもりで行ったので、初めはびっくりしましたが、すぐに慣れました。 ドミトリーに泊まったことはないですが、高級なドミトリーといった印象です。 一緒に行った友達は、アジアの安宿はこんなもんだと言っていました。 慣れたら、立地も悪くなく、4泊する分には普通に過ごせました。 ベッドメイキングがなかったため、タオル交換や清掃もなかったですが、カウンターでスタッフのお兄さんに言えば快く新しいタオルをもらえましたし、スタッフの感じは良かったです。 私たちは、ホテルにはお金をかけないつもりで行った為、良しとしましたが、バカンス目的で行かれる方にはおすすめしないです。
