Guest Reviews
- Zillah (7/5): - Repeating myself on clean up the room, no request so no cleaning
- PIRI (2/5): -
- Suz (8/5): -
- Nur Syasya (7/5): -
- KONG CHOON (2/5): This is the 1st and only time I stay in this hotel! - Only good location, near to imago shopping mall! No carpark for guess
Bad Reception service
Hotel room not so clean (bed cover and bath tower need to replace )
Only I room card provide to guest
- Nur Syasya (7/5): -
- Chew (7/5): -
- Suraya (5/5): -
- Atillah (4/5): It’s bearable - Near to shopping mall Imago Dirty bathtub, room wasn’t cleaned (even thought we pay for the service), flies coming out of the sink hole (non stop)
- Azim (1/5): Needs an improvement for people to stay in - The place was at right spot Wasn’t clean, the room needs update got haunted vibe, tv was broken, needs a good paint
- Sarakal (5/5): -
- Sarinah (5/5): Hopefully the hotel need to upgrade the room and have fully facilities supply. - The location was very excellent next to Imago. The parking was very safe. The facilities was abit dissappointing such as the bathroom’s ventilation was not working or maybe broken. The ironing board was old and hard to request due to limited supply. The surrounding was noisy during at night due to renovation and maintenance on going which disturbing our sleeping moment.
- Samir (6/5): -
- Md Faiz Sihamuddin (5/5): Fair - Great Location but our room condition was poor Better room conditions
- Pg Nurizzati (6/5): It was ok. The location was great. But I recommend the family room. Its clean and spacious. - Its nearby to any shop big and small. Very convenient. Just few steps you can go anywhere closer to imago, closer to 24hr restaurant, closer to 24hr retail shop. Love the location Its just we have to go through stairs (just some steps) first to get to the elevator. Family like us with kids and big luggage is very challenging.
The deluxe room that we checked in was a bit dusty (bcos im sneezing non stop) and the bathtub is kinda rusty and have few mini holes (and its black colour, big contrast with the white colour) and my kids dont want to get in.
- Pg Nurizzati (8/5): Overall its great location and accessible to any shop, just the cleanliness can be improved - Its closer to shopping mall and retail shop like orange and 7-11. It also closer to mamak restaurant which is 24hrs open.
We move from deluxe room to family room.
The family room is amazing. Its clean and quite spacious for a family of 5
The bathroom is spacious as well especially the bathtub tub. We love it. The deluxe room abit dusty and the bathtub is rusty, my kids didnt want to use the tub.
We had to use wet tissue just to wipe the room floors and clean it. Because we keep on sneezing non stop in deluxe room.
Then we move to family room. Everything was amazing. I recommend staying in the family room. Its a big difference.
However, I was quite disappointed with the bathroom layout. The shower area is see-through, and guests have to pass through the shower and bathroom area, which is separated by transparent glass, in order to access the toilet.
For a family room, this design lacks privacy and can be uncomfortable, especially when staying with children or family members. A more private bathroom layout would greatly improve the overall experience. The bathroom door doesn’t have any lock, so it can be open anytime
- Zizat (3/5): Very dusty - Close to imago Very dusty, stuffy nose every morning due to dust and triggered eczema. Need an upgrade of the room. wall paper all torn out. The bathtub needs to change. I don't dare to use it.
- Nurul (7/5): -
- Aziz (3/5): Bad - Nothing except its location. Poor and dirty room.
- Hazirah Ariffin (6/5): - Near to Imago
They have 24hrs mamak restaurant, cafe, kopitiam and laundry downstairs
Location wise it is very strategic and convenient The room is smaller than the picture
The TV remote is not working
Water leak from the shower to our room
No coffee table, only one seater sofa
- Jasson (4/5): - Area near to imago. Aircond not cold, maybe 1hp only? And looks like it has not been service for awhile. The room looks dull.

- Norhanisah (7/5): Shopping just next door! - Very close to imago just next building. Our room choice was replaced due to shortage of water.
- NURUL SYUHADAH (9/5): -
- Ezhan (5/5): Need improvement. - - Close to Imago shopping mall.
- Spacious room. - Outdated room.
- Some leaked at bathroom ceiling at toilet bowl area.
- Relaxing chair need to replaced or fix, cause the spring almost come out and almost felt when trying to close the chair.
- My room was 505, beside emergency stair at the corner, then there's a piles of white cloth (blanket/bedsheet). Give me a shocked and surprised.
- The bedroom light need to replace cause some not working.
- TV need to fix cause flickering. Unable to watch TV.
- Hassan (5/5): Good - location very near to Imago and a lot of 24 hours restaurant nearby no dedicated parking. the TV was not working. Very noisy, house keeping room next to our rooms and they were talking very loud. have to wait until the next day to get iron to my room.
- Gudi (5/5): the haunted sensation - i like the location was very close to imago mall, and food vendors are also closed nearby.. for those people having a day transit are very very welcome to join, i believe it is one of the good hotel where groceries, foods are located nearby i was assign at level 5, the design looks old, the towel need to be replace to a new one.. and i feel like the room is has that haunted vibe.. haha yeah they should renovate it to more modern,because big wooden frame make it more creepy i believe.... AND NO toothbrush and paste!!!
- Nur Khairunnisa (2/5): First and last - None - Parking was not arranged by the hotel (we have to look for the parking enforcer for 30mins) bare in mind were travelling with 2 toddlers
- the room was not properly clean. Dust everywhere including hair strands especially underneath the bed (shud have taken of few photos of acummulated dust!)
- during our stay there were men at work next door / next to our room the sound was loud with sounds of drilling, nailing u name it up until 1am!! Made our complain everyday.
- aircond was not serviced and maintain regularly as water dripped from the aircond
- tv dint have anyting to watch and it just shows no channel at all
- late night around 10pm, we call for asking to have bottles of water as we dint ask for our room to be make up during our stay, the hotel says "store locked and housekeeper already went home"

- Sukses188 (10/5): -
- murad (6/5): -
- Makhbar (1/5): -
- Hayley (4/5): Ok for a short stay based on location - Good location, comfortable bed. Bathroom in bad condition, WiFi didn’t work at all.
- Aidah (10/5): - Near to shopping area and restorant
- Izzati (2/5): - The room was not as expected. I read great reviews but sadly, we were unlucky. The room was so dusty, not clean. The deluxe king seems like a deluxe queen. Our room electricty keeps tripping. For a deluxe king, the room is small, i think we were given the wrong room coz we requested differently. The only great thing about it is it is walking distance to Imago.
- kuyen85 (6/5): Deluxe King Room 307 Not recommended - 1. The toilet was so small. Since they separate the shower and the toilet with the glass...the toilet became so small. its tiny.
2. The view....bad. It was suppose the street view but what i got was the back shop view.
3. The socket was not functioning. Sad.
Should i recommend this type of room especially room no 307 to anyone? NOPE.
Dont ever want this room number... avoid it at all cost or you will be in pain using the toilet.
- SALSIAWATI (10/5): Nice - Nice
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice view because facing mall
- Verified traveler (2/5): Horrible - Rooms nothing like pictures shown on the website. Completely run down and old. Towels worn and dirty, with an air conditioning system that wouldn't shut off. Other hotels in the same area for the same or less price in better condition.
- Gavi@Sophoan (10/5): - Bery conducive and clean
- Verified traveler (10/5): - near to prime spots.
- StevenLee (4/5): - the building is rather aged, interior different from photos shown.
- ZaidiMohamadAli (4/5): Dry and uncomfortable nose in Kota Kinabalu - Next to Imago Shopping mall.
Many options to eats.
Nearby self laundry shop.
Worn out furniture.
Too much dust causing uncomfortable nose. If stayed longer, can lead to fever.
No free internet connection.
- LikChuen88 (6/5): Good - I was on a business trip on 1 Oct 2019. Everything was fine. Location is good room is clean. Just poor WiFi at my room that's the most I need and the problem wasn't solved in the end And the ironing board was dirty placed outside my room.
- Lisa (8/5): - Properties should make direction qibla for muslim customer
- jimmyplague (8/5): Good hotel - overall a good hotel. near to imago shopping mall and the staff were friendly. wifi was the poorest as i cannot even login. but everything else is just good. bathroom was a bit small but the heater is nice.
- ALICE KIM LIN (8/5): Value for money - It is convenient
- mohd (8/5): - highly Recomended wt my family and friends
- Nazri (6/5): - It's loud at night
- thefhen (6/5): Overall Goods - Overall good with friendly staff, the room is spacious, clean toilet and good locations for reasonable price. Would give better rating if not for the smell of the room (but not too bad) and more welcoming hallway.
- DaddyistheBest (6/5): Can watch EPL here (on ASSP3); all other aspects: so-so - THE GOOD:
Right across the street from Imago Mall
Hotel TV has Astro Supersports 3 (ASSP3) so if you might get to watch your EPL team play
Room has minifridge.
THE BAD:
Hotel only lets you check in a 2 pm regardless of whether any room happens to be ready before then. Counter staff should at least open their mouth about "registration" which can be done before 2 pm - it will expedite check in later on!
Hotel adamantly insists on providing only 1 key card. If you need to get in while you room mate is out with the card, they will ask housekeeping to it open for you. Not great security-wise.
Hotel lift is actually outside the hotel lobby and so in theory is open to the public. Also, a small flight of steps lead up to it, which isn't great if you have heavy luggage.
Hotel's (free) wifi is hopeless. You're connected but there's no internet access! They are always "fixing the problem"
- Shafiq_Ghazie (6/5): Short One Night Stay - Made a last minute booking for a one night stay.
Location
Not too far from KK Airport; approximately 10 minutes.
Hotel is located next to the IMAGO mall.
So food is easy during 10am - 10pm.
Also there are several restaurants around the hotel.
The hotel
Arrived in late noon.
Check in was fast; yet you need to pay deposit MYR50.00.
Got the room on the 5th floor.
The room
Entry to the room is located outside the hotel.
Safety?
Questionable i guess.
The room is on the 5th floor; got a room facing another building.
So no view.
Room layout is ok; pretty big for budget range hotel.
All seems to be in order.
Limited TV channel.
Lighting is OK.
Toilet layout is OK too.
Overall; this place is OK if you dont have expectation.
Also moving around is easy via GRAB.

- Verified traveler (8/5): - I love this hotel..
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Facing shopping mall, easy to find food, easy to get grabcar, the room was nice and clean. I will come here again if i am in kk
- Upset (4/5): - I've been to this hotel several times. I liked the interior and the fact that it was located next to Imago. Staff was not friendly and served with a smirk. Perhaps it was because we were locals. Their shower was not working properly and no matter how long we tried to find a sweet spot, it came out scalding hot. I ended up not showering. We checked out and informed nicely that the shower seems to have an issue and the reception shouted to another staff regarding the issue. I no longer want to revisit the establishment.
- YONG (8/5): Bad air conditioning BUT good service - The room we get is super hot , air conditioning not functioning well , but the front desk n rearrange another room for us and very good service .

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel
- KT (2/5): - Location is good but everything else Is really bad — dirty, noisy (outside the door and overhead with planes flying past), poor wifi, tv won’t come on, help on wifi didn’t come after reception said they would, etc.

- Anonymous (8/5): - The aircond and ventilation fan are noisy.

- Jebat (8/5): - Good.Thank U
- Mohamad Azmil (6/5): - smoking smells around the room. others, satisfactory. easy access to Imago
- ten787 (6/5): Business Trip for one night - The plus point for this hotel is location, location, location. It is in front of the Imago Shopping Mall. However the hotel is a bit run down in terms of facilities. Firstly, the hotel does not serve any meals as there are plenty of restaurants and cafes around the area. Secondly, I had problems with the door of the room. Apparently the spring of the door lock is bit loose and there are special techniques to open it. Very troublesome for someone who is only staying a night. The TV was small. There was no toilet paper holder. The rooms has no views at all
This hotel is a budget hotel but I got the impression from the photos and description that it is a four star hotel.
- Guest (4/5): - Find another hotel which meets more than just the price and service
- 5prakashr (6/5): Mr PR - The hotel was nice for the rare if RM150/-oer night.
Staff was attentive but not helpful in carrying the luggage to the room.drawback was the lift was outside the hotel so security was lack as anyone can enter the lift to the rooms.poor security.rooms were clean.
No restaurant but next door was choice Indian n local food.
Location was excellent as opposite imago Mall. premium mall in kk.
Easy transportation for taxi and grab cars.n
- Yana (8/5): - It is closer to shopping mall which is easier for travellers especially for dining purposes
- YUN TSENG (8/5): - Good location for shopping at imago mall

- Verified traveler (2/5): - Stayed for 3 nights. Upon check-in, reception asked for deposit RM236 on top of my 3 nights stay (RM464), total payment during check-in is RM700. Found out during check-out other reception told me they only required RM50 deposit. Location just opposite Imago Shopping Mall, which is great within walking distance. Hotel cleanliness is a let-down, especially the toilet. A lot of drain fly inside the toilet. Where is the maintenance & pest control? Furniture looks so old, bed is OK. This will be the first & last stay in this hotel.
- Lola (8/5): - It's very convienient place to stay. 3 mins walk to Imago shopping mall.
- Fatimahaidahwat (8/5): - Everything was good and planned to stay there again in the future soon. Eveything i need is at the tip of my finger meaning shops area and places to eat are so easy and just a walking distance. I would recomend it to friends and families. Staffs of hotel are nice and friendly and helpful
