Belle vue mais c'est tout

Séjour de 2 jours. La chambre était convenable. Superbe vue de la fenêtre. Par contre chambre non isolée. Très bruyant. Que ce soit les gens qui y séjournent ou le personnel de l'hôtel qui fait le ménage dans les chambres voisines et qui traînent le lit et fait énormément de bruit. Mauvaise expérience pour ma part en tout cas. C'est quand même 60 euros la nuit,ce n'est pas rien.

親切で丁寧なレセプショニスト達

投宿日は早朝に到着したが、チェックインまで荷物を預かってくれた。日暮れ後部屋に蚊や蛾が沢山入ってきたが、フロントで殺虫剤を借りて事なきを得た。原因はバスルームの窓が開いていたことだった。キナバル公園をトレッキングした際に、虻又は蛭に足首を噛まれ、シャワーを浴びようとして気が付いた。フロントに相談すると、適切に処置をしてくれた。親身で丁寧な対応が大変好感が持てた。しかし、翌朝「早立ち」する旨伝えていたにも拘わらず、係は定時にしか現れず、この日の予定に支障をきたした。ただし、係は丁寧に詫びてくれた。（内部の情報共有に問題が） なお、私の部屋はWIFIが利用できなかった。（利用する部屋の価格クラスに依存するのかも？） 食事場所は１０分も歩けば近くにあるが、日暮れ後や雨の日は交通量が多いので、こんな場合は十分に気を付けてください。

Cheap stay near Kinabalu national park

Very good location, short walk along the road to the national park. Big spacious clean room, with daily cleaning, beautiful location with lovely views. Only issue was things in the room got slightly damp in the morning but really worth it for the cheap price!

since i'm coming from kota kinabalu first, i called and asked the hotel staff where should i get off, when i get to Kundasang. they told me to get off at kinabalu park entrance which is you have to walk back for 25 minutes (they didn't tell me first). the rain is so heavy, i tried to call them again because i cant find a taxi. but they just put me on voice call.. when i get to the hotel, i told them about the incident and they just laugh it off. i told them, that its not funny, and well they just shrug off.

Close to Mt Kinabalu

Very reasonably priced room. Be prepared for 140 steps down to your room and obviously the same back up with your luggage. Approx 1km walk to Mt Kinabalu entrance. No restaurant on site but good cheap eats across the road from the park entrance. Hot water is not all that good in the shower and the local cats were a bit annoying.

Hotel near to main road

The check-in was fast and the receptionists were friendly. Two standard rooms were close to the main entrance/reception area. Deluxe room situated downstairs and took near 3 mins to climb up. The rooms downstairs are not suitable for elderly. Water heater did not function well. The rest were on average.

Not for senior citizen and family with kids

The room condition and cleanliness is up to standard but if you plan to stay with little kids and senior citizen, please stay away from this hotel, there is a long staircase to walk. If you don't mind for this little exercising and no breakfast provided, this could be one of the good choice though.
