If you think that that is my only hotel review for this month, well think again. Just a week after my previous hotel adventure, me and hubby dearest has to travel back to KK for some errands. But obviously a back-to-back Tawau-KK travel does hurt our wallets (a lot) so this time we'd tried this historical boutique hotel right in the middle of Gaya Street (specifically just across an Old Town White Coffee cafe branch) that I've actually been eyeing for awhile.
I was a bit apprehensive at first since I've heard that they were still within their renovation period but luckily most of the major renovations were already completed by the time we checked in, as we were greeted with an immaculate looking lobby, complete with a dining area and a piano. And from my little pre-stay researched (aka googled) I've wisely chosen a room on the newer wing hence the pretty, modern colonial style spacious room that we had. History buffs however need not fret since they still retained most of their original, older English rooms on floors adjoining to the newer ones (which dated back to the 1950s). And since everything is still fairly new, the bathroom and showers were some of the best that I've experienced in terms of strong water flow and the quickness of the hot water. But some minor hiccups that I've noticed includes the somewhat noisy water system whenever we used them and the non-existing tv channels. Then again, since you're bound to explode the surrounding Gaya Street anyway, that might not be such a problem (well, unless you brought a vehicle as they do not have any designated parking for patrons).
Type - Boutique King Room
Room - 5/5 (who doesn't like a newly renovated, spacious room right?)
Price - 4/5 (fair especially if you book their newer rooms)
Service - 4/5 (very good despite the painfully obvious still-in-training receptionists manning the front desk)
Decor - 5/5 (I dig the whole old meets new colonial English vibes going on within the hotel)
Facilities - 4/5 (I haven't tried their older rooms yet but everything is good for now)
Location - 5/5 (the popular Api-Api Night market & Sunday market are just outside of their main door)
