superb location easily accessible to shops / cafe at Gaya street. A less than 10 minute drive to Likas bay to view the sunrise is a must do if you want good memories of Sabah, followed by breakfast at coffeeshop serving local delights. Thankful to hotel for allowing late checkout on Sunday.

The room was comfortable, and while the facilities looked dated, they were well-maintained. Overall, it was clean, though the carpet was inevitably a bit dirty and the drain was slow. The room was on the smaller side but well-equipped, sufficiently dark, and quiet. The elevator had an interesting feature where you could turn the lights and fan on and off. The value for money wasn't great, but it was a unique experience to stay in a historic building.

Our Tour Guide Jerry was punctual with good vibes throughout our tour. Although I'm the only one who speaks English and most of the joiners were Chinese, he also explained in English so that I will be able to understand and makes sure that all is good. I had a so much fun and enjoyed the tour. He's also willing to take a picture and video on you. So going as solo joiner would not be difficulty ❤️ Highly recommended for Tourguide Jerry's service! Thank you.

Great and fulfilling trip! We were lucky to see a newly bloomed Rafflesia, and the ATV ride was exciting. The guide explained everything clearly and was very knowledgeable. Most importantly, the Sinalau Bakas was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

The stops were good, lots of new experiences and delicious foods to try, and unique handicraft souvenirs too. The only problem is most of the time the view of Mount Kinabalu is covered by clouds, but it depends on your luck though.

Bongawan river cruise was great~! Though we couldn’t see the long nose monkeys, we saw many long tail monkeys and a baby crocodile! The fireflies were fantastic!! Our tour guide Kelvin is the best photographer and helped us to have great photos!!

This hotel is located near Gaya Street Night Market, making it very convenient to go out and stroll around the night market! There's also a breakfast buffet available!
