Strategic place near to the town

A good hotel for backpackers and travellers. Really near to the town and next to the taxi service. Many halal and non halal restaurants nearby and 24 hours convenient store. Whi want to go for laundry there are self service laundry nearby too.

Trevlig personal, väldigt lyhört

Bra och serviceinriktad personal. Rummet var trångt och väldigt lyhört både mot gatan och korridoren. Vi hade ett rum mot gatan och det lät hela tiden, är man känslig mot ljud så bör man inte ha rummet mot gatan.

The Staff very friendly and nice. The location of the hotel is very strategic. Easy to go to nearby shopping mall. Many 24 hours convenience store. Just only TV channels are not very clear. Hotel management should put a glass, a kettle or a jar in the room.If possible, hotel should provide free flow of cool drinking water and instant coffee to the customer. To sum up, I feel very happy to stay here.The room very clean.

寝るだけなら良し

空港からシャトルバスでHORIZON HOTEL付近にて下車、徒歩約５分。ショッピングモール、レストラン、コンビ二、ランドリー全て徒歩圏内に揃っているので立地は良い。ホテル内は予想以上に汚かった。ビルが古いのである程度は理解できるが、清掃が行き届いていないようにみられた。ホテルのスタッフの対応は親切で良い。

For a budget hotel, it was surprisingly pleasant

We only stayed for a couple of hours (checked in at 8pm, checked out 1030am). Room was clean, well maintained. Do not bother to get rooms with windows because not much of a view there. Suitable as a transit hotel

Good showers, not as quiet

We stayed here a week before and thought it was a very satisfactory place to stay for a night or two. The rooms are quite small, but clean, and as I noted before, the shower was hot and had great pressure. The first time we were in room 216, which was good. The second we were in 215, which was slightly larger, but much noisier. The sound of flushing toilets from either next to us or above us was quite loud. But it is something you get used to relatively quickly, so not a big issue.

호텔 위치가 시내있고 가까운곳에 큰 쇼핑몰(Center Point)과 와리산 스퀘어, 워터프런트가 위치해 있어 주변상권이 가까운 것에 만족합니다. 호텔내에서 간단한 물품을 구매할 수 있고 현지투어 상품을 구매할 수 있어 편리했습니다.( 현지투어 상품은 현지 여행사에 비해 10~20링깃 정도 비쌉니다) 방은 약간 작은듯 하지만 혼자 쓰기엔 가격대비 나쁘지 않습니다. 청소는 5박중 3번을 했고 청소를 원하지 않으면 안내테스트에 말하면 원하는데로 해 주는 점이 좋았습니다.

Characterless box, but clean, and GREAT shower

It was a tiny, windowless box of a room, which was expected. The AC worked, the place was clean, and the shower was probably the best we've had in Borneo - hot and strong water pressure.

오후8시 코타키나발루 도착해서 늦게 들어갔는데 침대는 트리플룸으로 싱글3을 예약해둔 상태였음. 가보니 더블1.싱글1 으로 이루어져있었고 방이 작아서 침대 외 공간에 캐리어를 겨우 필수 있는 공간만 있음. 대체적으로 방에는 에어컨 티비 침대가 있고 화장실에는 세면대 변기통 만 있으며 샴푸.린스 .드라이기 .냉장고. 빗 등은 없음 에어컨은 잘 나옴. 침구류가 깨끗함. 하룻밤 잠깐 자기엔 괜찮지만 몇일간 자는건 비추. 너무 좁아서 갇혀있는 느낌이 듬.

家族４人で宿泊しました。前日、シャングリラ・タンジュ・アルからの移動でタクシードライバーにこのホテルを告げると、「どこ？」と。そんな小さな安いホテルです。が、清潔感あり、センターポイントにも近いいいホテルだと思いました。そしてホテル隣にあるレストランお勧めです。おいしいし、安いし。このレストラン、どうやらホテルトラベラーのオーナーが経営している？？ようでした。女性オーナー？とても感じよかったです。

Hotel was only ok, rooms are small, would not pay extra for the windows, you do get a bit more room but the noise is annoying! The room was tidy I would not say clean. The area on a evening questionable, ok if you want a massage! But it felt safe enough. Location is good, walking distance for everything. It's a kinda pay for what you get place. Taxi station right outside and local food place. The food and beer was cheap.
