Excellent
SSteven D.Lovely hotel, a little old (it opened in 1977) but you can feel it has got a lot of character. Kudos to EVIS from Bell Service, he’s a humble gentlemen who loves to engage with his guests. He assisted me with my luggage and escorted me to my room. He knows the hotel inside out and loves to share his insights. Also a shout out to MARY from front desk, she is amazing. She is multi functional with assisting me to check-in PLUS helping me with concierge matters regarding my flight ticket. Exceptional staff. Thank you for having me!
GGuest UserHotel is in a good central location. Staff are friendly and quick to assist. I reserved a room last minute and was still able to get a good deal for a good size room that was clean. Bed was comfortable. Free parking in the lot right in front of the hotel.
GGuest UserStay for 2nights with complimentary breakfast.very good hotel located at kk downtown..room large with comfy bed.. high water pressure with amenities provided.. worth the price and surely will stay again
OOn cloud 9The hotel smells good. The room is spacious with plenty of chair to sit. They provide basic amenities. Checkin and checkout process was smooth.
The only minor is the bed is in front of the door. So it’s not comfortable to sleep.
AAlexLim728I would just rate it like a 4 stars hotel. Don’t expect too much, and it will be great.
Breakfast just normal, waitstaff was a bit inattentive, not sure which table bring us to.
didn’t book a seaview room, but my room was totally a blocked view 🤣. Can only see a huge rooftop of other buildings. But the room is clean, cleaning service quite good, I asked for more water and they did gave me more.
One of the highlight could be their pool.
Great sea view, I enjoyed it a lot.
location is decent, still need to walk a bit to reach the main city area.
GGB16Good hotel.Jotel been well upgraded. Look new. Reception frarah excellant. Meet director of room Bernard, amazing guy and wealth of knowledge, humble and good public relation.
Room 830 only issue was TV all the channel need to adjust or fix screen not clear (running line).Young
Bell boy with spetical amazing(selfie photo) . Good knowledge on local area.. I love your rain shower wonderfully cold water shower the best among other hotels.
Did not have any photos A I am return guest.
See you soon.
HHamsirexcellent experience, the staffs very nice and friendly.they offered me to upgrade to bigger size room but I refuse bcoz of my child and my wife already exhausted and we can't wait for another 1 hour for upgraded room. The room was awesome and clean, this is new hotel and the surrounding was marvelous. Nice sea view. Easy to access to pasar Tanjung Kinabalu and malls such as suria Sabah and centre point sabah
MMr TravellerNice hotel to stay but on basic need as they claimed they area trying their best in accommodating patron's need with affordable room rate. So all amenities will charged according to our need.
BBernard SchumacherLocation is great but the place itself looks old, there's a slight leakage in the room that we booked due to the heavy rain, the bathroom looks old. Service is fine, they do provide nice breakfast. Suggestion for improvement would be to renovate the place and make it look newer. One thing I really hate was the traffic noise in the middle of the night, I had a hard time sleeping because I kept on listening to those motorbike that always keep on passing by the hotel with their loud exhaust which really made it hard for me to sleep.
BBenjamin Sch.The Borneo Beach Villa is an unbeatable spot for a nice calm vacation. The beach is just beautiful although you fill find plastic stuff here and there. For younger (and older) children it’s perfect since the waterline is flat and you can walk easily 30-50 meters into the water. The waves are nice. there is no lifeguard on duty but you don't need one.
Don’t expect a new hotel for this price. We had nice beach front villa at the southern end of the site. At low tide you could walk the stays directly into the water, at high tide you need to go to the beach 100-200m. The sunset is beautiful. Hotel location would be 10 of 5 stars!
Make sure your Grab app works so you can order food since the restaurant is quite pricy for the offerings. Also getting away with a taxi will need some time and Grab. Go shopping and bring your own snacks and drinks upfront to enjoy the evenings. The breakfast is okay for the 3 days we stayed there but lacks some variety. They have a nice egg station for omelette and other things.
You are in nature so you need to be prepared for mosquitoes, sandflies and a cockroach here and there. But this is nothing which is really dramatic and can happen at the best places. We had all required sprays and used them when necessary. Some outdoor mosquito smoke lamps can also be useful.
Overall the family was very happy about our time there. The house is older but all items were functional. In case of support the technician was there in 15-30 minutes.
For the low price it’s a good place with a wonderful beach but if you don’t want to compromise quality furnishings or need nightlife this is not a suitable spot.
