While the facilities are old, the overall open-air design creates a great atmosphere and a resort-like feel. The breakfast also features an open kitchen where you can have egg dishes made to your liking. The pool is spacious enough for children to play in and includes a slide and bridge for added fun. For longer stays, the lack of a washing machine was inconvenient, although there is a cleaning service available. Overall, I was satisfied and would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

Alhamdulillah.. Stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights. The hotel is very large, the rooms are spacious and clean, and there's free parking under the hotel. The hotel is close to SACC MALL, UTC, PKNS Plaza, and various eateries. The swimming pool is large and clean. There is a surau (prayer room) called LATIFAH for congregational prayers. The kids loved it. I'm happy. Thank you Klook for making it easy for me to book this hotel. The best. Cleanliness: 100/100 Hotel location: 100/100

Great 4.0

the check in procees took so long. the sabahan front desk (based on her accent) look so stress when processing the check in, with unhelpful indian staff standing next to her. i was accused of overtaken the queue. i came when shes processing the people in front, and then came a guy queuing behind me. My son started to act up since the process took so long, i so left the queue in less than 2 minutes to attend to my son & came back queue. when my turns come, she told me the guy behind already queued longer. I was perplexed. I think shes so rude. Either she not noticed my presence or she think i should re-queue, thats not my problem. Even the guy behind was also confused & asked to let me do first. I trust the indian staff standing next to the sabahan girl noticed me since she saw me carrying my son. but did nothing to defend me. What a bad experience. My second and last time coming
