My partner had to go to Kota Kinabalu for a couple days for
business purposes and had asked me whether I was interested in tagging along,
to which I happily obliged (despite my ‘mountainous’ workload). Since it was a
last minute planning (plus we’ll only be there for a short period of time) we
decided to rough it up and choose a smaller boutique hotel instead. And I admit
that I was the one responsible for recommending this place to my partner, since
I remembered that my last visit was a pleasant one. But then again, that was 12
years ago (no joke) so I don’t really know what I was thinking.
I also don’t know whether I should be happy or not but the
hotel looks exactly like it was all
those years ago. I used to think that the place was pretty classy but now it
just looks dated and err… ‘nostalgic’ I suppose. But my non-fussy partner was
still pleased to see that our room was comfortable and has a view facing the
Centre Point mall (where this hotel is located by the way, within the Asia City Orange
convenient store just around the corner). Also, do request for a room that does
not have an air-conditioner blowing directly to your face or you’ll end up sneezing
and getting a cold like we did.
Overall…
Type – Superior
Queen Room
Room – 4/5 (would
be better if they can refurbished their rooms a bit more)
Price – 4/5 (very
reasonable especially if you’re on a tight budget)
Service – 4/5 (it’s
always a good thing to have an accommodating & polite staff)
Décor – 3/5 (again,
very old-fashion looking)
Facilities – 3/5
(at least they do have a lift; albeit an old one)
Location – 5/5 (they’re
literary right across the street to the main entrance of the Centre Point mall
& next to this Toyota
showroom)
