Guest Reviews
- Markku (4/5): - Hyvin vaatimaton, mutta sänkyssä pystyi hyvin nukkumaan lakanat ja peitteet ok. Vaatimattomin sisäänkäynti ikinä. Mutta kokemus sinänsä lähellä rantaa ei uimaranta huom.
- Jose Luis (2/5): - This place is on a dirty building, upstairs very dirty , garbage every where on the streets, strong odors coming up to the floor, etc. The Room is the poorest quality and cleaness I ever seen, I am 63 years old traveling to hundreds of cities, this is the worst, it should not be in Expedia system. Room smell like human orine, walls stains with what looks like blood. I arrived late night so could not arrange another place to stay, I did not sleep at all, I just sat to wait morning to leave. A few dollars more got me a hotel with decent service mad most important appropriate cleaning. Stay away from this place.
- robin (10/5): - The staff is very polite and helpful.. Nice environment.. And walkable to the nearest tourist attraction centre.. Keep up the good job.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - For the price its okay. Lots of loose and broken bits and pieces, and could really do with a paint. Its fine otherwise. View is not bad if you get a sunset!
- YUSNI (8/5): - Near by mosque
- Ah teng (10/5): - Near market..easy to walk and good place to stay and safety
- Verified traveler (8/5): basic and comfortable - It is clean on the inside, but the building complex it is a part of is an inner-city building and doesn't look good on the outside. Inside the home, it is very nice. However, this area is very safe even at night because it is close to the water front and large expensive hotels.
- UMIE (10/5): - Good hotel for who want to stay at kk city...its near from sinsuran night market and kraftangan market also near from mall
- Hiroshi (6/5): - Shower was only cold water. It’s located at busy area. It means convenient, but noisy outside.
Staff was friendly. I don’t have any complaints aside from cold shower.
- TETSUKA (6/5): - エアコン、wifi、シャワーのお湯は問題なく使用出来ました。
- Mohammad Yusrey Bin (10/5): WORTH THE PRICE - It was great! The toilet was clean enough to use and simple utilities such as soap and towels were provided. Air cond was in great condition as well!
TV was outdated with only 1 grainy channel but that's ok, we used the guesthouse fast wifi instead. No parking was provided so opt to park elsewhere and used grab to the guesthouse.
- nor (8/5): - amazing experience with the staff. very friendly
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall all is perfect for staying 1 or 2 night..just a bit hard bring your luggage used stair..
- Verified traveler (8/5): Solo travel - Room not ready. Service bad. Have to ask for towel, soap and plstic bag for rubbish bin. When check out at 5.30am no one at counter. Leave the key on the table and i just go. Main entrance door unlock. So anyone can go in anytime. Cc tv yes but still not safe for travel solo esp female.
- Hilmie (8/5): Best location - Best location for shopping and eats. Parking with fees nearby.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - it was good
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The reception is not very helpful,then they dont have any ideas to locate our parking lot. Seriously,the rooms is very stinks,got cockroach,below sinks got alot of black stains which means the room didnt clean for long time.the picture is not same like real life.its not recommended
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 安く清潔さは普通
シャワーや水の出が弱い時がある
立地は良いが夜中1時ぐらいぐらいまで、向かいのマーケットで大騒ぎしてる時があり、早く寝たい人にはキツいかも。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフの対応がとても良かったです。
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 前はナイトマーケットで歩いて5分で大きめのショッピングセンターがあるのと、離島に行くための船乗り場もタクシーですぐなので場所はどこに行くのも便利です。ですがナイトマーケットで魚を売っているため窓を開けているととても魚臭いです。それと夜は少し賑やかなので窓を閉めていても声は聞こえます。オーナーの人はとてもいい人です。帰りの飛行機が朝7時半からだったので5時半にチェックアウトをしたいと言うと快くOKをしてくれました。少し清潔感にかけるので女性はちょっと嫌かもしれないです。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good and ok
- Ngung Chia (10/5): Good hotel location and value for money - Excellent location. Directly opposite the Filipino (night) market and Local Wet (day) market. Lots of restaurants around. Easy walk to Centrepoint (for airport bus), Jetty (Island hopping, diving) and Gaya Street (Chinatown). Able to leave luggage behind when go for climbing Mt. Kinabalu. Room is spacious and toilet OK. Very basic amenities but value for money.
Note that there is no free drinking water refill or coffee kettle in room/hotel. But drinking water is cheapest in shop directly downstair (RM 1 for 1.5 L). Hotel is on 3rd floor and maybe a problem with heavy luggage.
For good WiFi (slow), better to stay in rooms around reception. Last room in B block cannot receive WiFi.
- Ngung Chia (10/5): Excellent service, near markets - Allowed to leave luggage before going for Mt. Kinabula climb and room already ready (with luggage inside) on return. No drinking water and amenities limited in room. Cable TV indicated in Hotets.com is limited to local free channels only - very poor signal. Hotel on 3rd floor and heavy luggage will be a problem.
Room is spacious. Toilet and cleanliness acceptable. WiFi is very weak but usable from room is they are around reception. For price paid, its value for money. Great view for rooms facing the main street.
- Roy (6/5): Hotel Sea view - Hotel view is good. I always check in for this hotel but for this time 1 am not satisfied with the cleanliness, the room were not make up properly, the floor not clean, the dustbin were not empty and water problem in the bathroom. Hope the owner of the premiss will be more careful for the next time.
- Hilmie (8/5): Cheap family room - Cheap place to crash near cenral shopping area & night markets
- Sarah (6/5): - Staff should be more friendly
- Zarif (8/5): Great location - Did not expect the hotel to be great since the reviews weren't very convincing. But I had great time there despite few problems with the toilet. So overall, good!
- apit (6/5): sesuai kepada mereka yg nk penginapan bajet, - pengamalam mencari parking kereta yg memerlukan kesabaran
hehehehe
- Fitri Yana (8/5): An okay guesthouse. - Okay overall the hotel was okay. At first, I was surprised to see the area to the hotel was awful. Lots of bad smell, even the staircase was quite dirty but yaa cant blame the hotel. Check in was quick. The frontline guy (I forgot to ask his name) even had helped us to cool the room before our arrival. Niceeeee. As we walk into the room, I was so happy. The room super cleannnnn. Yay! Kudos to the HK team. stayed here for 4 nights and on the last day, the lady at the lobby even helped us to look after our luggage while we’re going for some shopping.
Just one thing I that I feel like saying here, about the bathroom. They should have cleaned the bathroom thoroughly just like they cleaned the room. A bit disappointed of seeing the toilet, its not as clean as it should be. Please do something.
Overall, I should say they deserved to get 3.75 star out of 5!
- Nanad (8/5): Nice hotel - Quite good hotel because close to Filipina Market & easy to walk around. But too hard to find car parking because the hotel in front of main road. But it pleasant place tu stay for backpackers
- Fitriyani Fit (8/5): Hotel yang bagus - Sebuah Penginapan yang bagus bagi seorang yang tidak cerewet Dan kakitangan yg baik serta peramah. keadaan Hotel yang selesa,sesuai kadar harga yang di berikan serta berdekatan dengan Pasar , Makanan Dan tempat yg senang mendapatkan perkhidmatan kenderaan sewa Teksi,Uber.Thank you kepada kakitangan pekerja wanita di Hotel Berkenaan,bantuan anda amat di hargai.Tq.
Form - B2
- NUR AMANINA (8/5): Sinsuran Home - Keseluruhannya Iskandar Sinsuran Guesthouse memberi keselesaan cuma kawasannya agak kurang menyenangkan kerana berada di tengah2 pasar filipina. Tapi secara keseluruhannya baik.
- nasirdin (6/5): GREAT STAFF! - good location. great staff.
- 곰코 (4/5): 돈이 없다면 이곳을.. - 저희는 사실 돌아오기전 샤워만 하려고 잡은 숙소입니다. 이곳에서 잔다구 생각하면 썩 쾌적하진 않겠지만 코타키나발루에서 한국으로 가는 비행기가 대부분 저녁 늦게기 때문에 잠시 씻고 정리하기는 좋은 숙소 인것 같습니다.
하지만 숙박을 하기에는 비추천...
- Siti (10/5): - Clean, well arrange and near to all places.
- kazu (4/5): ナイトマーケットに近く、場所としては非常に良い。部屋には窓がなく、テレビの映りが悪く英語の放送もない - 小さな街で歩いてどこにでもいける。空港バスへの停留所も近く位置的には大満足。ただ部屋には窓がなく、テレビは英語放送がなく時間のつぶしようがない。フィリピンに住んでいてビザ延長のため再度訪れると思うが、次はケーブルテレビのあるホテルにするつもり。
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great! - The hotel close to pasar filipina, a lot of retaurants, jesselton waterfront, the staff are goods. I ask them a lot of things.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Poor environment - Very noisy, all sound from next door and main road can hear clearly! Totally unable sleep due to too noisy
- Anna (8/5): Nice basic budget hotel near main attractions - We booked the family room at this budget hotel. The room was quite spacious, and clean. The beds were comfortable and the sheets are clean. The bathroom had a moldy kind of smell in it, but it's clean and have fully functioning toilet, water hose, a water heater and a sink, so we are very happy with it. The staffs are very helpful with tips, and the location of the place is very near to Filippino market (The handicraft market), the seafood place and other main attractions are within walking distance. If you are looking for a very basic and budget room with great location at KK, I would recommend this place.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Bare necessities - Great employees, let me use their phone to make a booking. Room itself got the job done, with our own bathroom, but not the cleanest or best finished.
- Siti Norhayati (4/5): Hotel which lead to your shopping and food needs. - This hotel will suit people who come for shopping and food only but not for cleanliness and quality of service.
- Verified traveler (6/5): If you have no other place to go... - There is only one television channel that works and it is not in English and not a very good picture. Internet is terribly slow (a 2 minute YouTube video can take 6 minutes or not work at all). As for me, I need one or the other; cable, or internet (preferably internet). Do not buy ANYTHING (other than drinks) from the shops downstairs; nothing worse than purchasing stale stuff from owner who take no pride in their own business. You can take a bus for just a few ringgits from the airport and walk a short distance to the hotel after asking a few people who will either not know or send you in circles only to find out it is on the same block.
The receptionist at this hotel is wonderful though. She was very helpful in answering any questions I had. I didn't complain about anything in the hotels since I understand that I got what I paid for. All of the staff here were great here actually.
- Verified traveler (2/5): horrible - This hotel is not nice at all and I dont feel safe staying there.
- Chris and Marie (10/5): Excellent!! Best of the budget hotels in KK!! - Retired American and wife from subic phillipines(U.S. Army). 4 day stay before and after star cruise out of kk. Excellent staff. Friendy, kind, accomodating !!. Cant say enough about these folks. Great price and super location in heart of kk. Stay here if your on a budget. Right across street from all the action.5 star for price and kindness!!! Double Wow...
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice trip - Nice hotel, close to beach and others tourist attraction in kk..
- Ram (6/5): Strategic location - Stayed here for 5 days and 4 nights. This hotel is directly opposite Philippines Market and a walking distance to several shopping malls. Those without transport will find this place to be suitable as taxi stand is just a few metre away from this hotel. Buses are available a few minutes of walking distance(depending on your destination as the buses stop at different bus stand based on destination - the bus terminal is under upgrading process). Eateries are everywhere around this hotel. Halal as well as non-halal. As our room was facing the road we could hear all the hustle and bustle from the shops nearby. At night time we could hear motorcycles racing around.
- mouse (4/5): Good versus bad - Nice hotel close to Filipina market, Jesselton point, suria Sabah, Sunday market and public transport. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, there're many mosquitoes in the room, the toilets were unclean and smelly, the water heater not function well, drinking water in unclean container and no hairdryer provided.
- Tone (2/5): Cheap but inconsistent - As backpackere we already had low expectations due to the price. The location is great, easy to find and close to restaurants. The room was extremely dirty, bathroom messy as we checked in. The entrance is open from the street, never locked. We asked them to keep our valuables in the safe when we went out, just as the hotel recommended us to by a friendly note. The receptionist refused, as she said the safe was only an open drawer and she did not want to watch it all the time. Nothing got stolen, but we did not feel safe due to lack of security.
- Brett S (6/5): Position Position - Hard to find. Staircase to the actual hotel on the 2nd floor not exactly inviting, but the hotel was tidy and had all the facilities expected of a budget establishment. The room was clean, if a little worn and everything worked. The staff were friendly and helpful and the place felt safe. Not a place to impress anyone, but does the job well enough. Would stay again.
- Jlwi (8/5): Strategic location - Superb & recommended hotel to everyone. Easy to reach out to everywhere within a walking distance.
