“Location is a clear asset here, placing guests right on Gaya Street near markets and within walking distance of shopping and the waterfront. Recent renovations appear to have refreshed bathrooms and added new fixtures in some rooms, though some rooms might feel compact and lacking in amenities. I believe it's a practical choice for travelers prioritizing location and value in Kota Kinabalu.”
