Location is good and bathroom is clean. It will be better if the black anti UV sticker of the windows can be replaced by the transparent one or the curtains. I can't see the "city view" from my room as mentioned in the hotel.com website.

The hotel is new and we really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, comfortable and the AC worked well. The location is also fantastic as a staging point to explore Kota Kinabalu and the surrounding area. There are tons of restaurants nearby. We would definitely stay again!
