The front desk brother is very good, the things should be optimistic. It is best to lock the password. It is too expensive to book a hotel alone. This place saved me............ It is very close to Longmen Inn.

Very nice hotel clean and just beside jetty. Slightly small room. The only thing is bad ia regarding the wifi. Wifi available but basically not internet connection. Mattress a bit thin, not to say very comfortable but able to sleep.

Extremely satisfied! This hostel offers fantastic value for money, and the service was excellent. Communication was a breeze thanks to their Chinese-speaking staff. The owner and staff went above and beyond, even helping me book a 2-day, 1-night Mount Kinabalu summit trip, which included incredibly convenient pick-up and drop-off service. So thrilled to have finally achieved this dream!

It is better to live in the town than in the suburbs. The B&B in the suburbs is far away and you need to take a taxi. There are flying ants at night, and the calls of many animals in nature will be very noisy when sleeping at night. It is very quiet here in the town, not far from KFC, the streets outside are very clean, and even the public toilets inside are clean. There are more foreigners from Europe and America living here, mainly because it is not expensive! The front desk can't speak Chinese, but they can communicate in simple English. The disadvantage is that the room is small and has no window. It clearly says that there is a window on the room I booked, but they said that the platform wrote it wrong, so they could only give me this one. It doesn't matter, the stay is okay later. The first floor of the second floor is where you eat breakfast, which is also very clean. Two people clean it every day! If next time, I will choose here again!

Great location just next to a shopping mall. Room is small with no tv. The windows in some rooms were fake. Good for overnight stay to go for a transit flight. But if you are travelling to KK perhaps choose other hotel with bigger room and amenities.

Central location with restaurants and market nearby, clean comfy bed with a small lamp, shelf and hangers. Especially liked the small but nice window beside the bed, it really makes the place more spacious and bright. A bit small common area and kitchen with basic utensils and a fridge available. Smooth check in/out, allow you to drop luggage before check in. Clean toilets but wish there was only 1 female toilet and 2 unisex bathrooms, so it can be inconvenient at times. Staff and the guests were all kind and friendly. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was that the hotel confirmed my special request to arrange lower bed, but when I arrived they said lower beds were fully booked and could only give me the higher one. However it's a minor issue and understandable, and I like that they care about their service as they send email to ask for feedback after the stay. Overall a really good bargain!

BBAL.RSure! Here's a **single, concise review** of a vacation at **Kundasang Mount Garden**:
---
**”A peaceful mountain escape with stunning views”**
I stayed at Kundasang Mount Garden for a short getaway, and it was a refreshing break from city life. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking—Mount Kinabalu right in view, misty mornings, and cool, crisp air all day. The room was clean, spacious, and had everything I needed, including a small kitchen and private balcony.
The garden outside is lovely, with flowers, vegetables, and even a little stream. It’s very quiet and perfect for relaxing. However, getting there was a bit tricky—the road is narrow and steep, so I’d recommend using a 4WD. Also, the hot water was a bit unreliable

AAnonymous UserGreat stay! Though the cleaner may have missed to leave a roll of toilet paper or it's not provided at all? Suggestion to offer at least a bottle of water which is common when booking a room and they can just add that to the total price! Still a great stay and highly recommended.

GGuest UserNote: This store will ”deliberately” charge a tourist tax (this does not happen in other stores). If no evidence is found, it will charge a tourist tax (RM10 per day). Fortunately, I found the paid tax sent to me by the ordering website. Only after passing the tourist tax ”invoice” can you get back the excess tourist tax!

GGuest UserWe booked a family room, which was good as it came with one large and one small bed. The room itself was extremely small, and the facilities were quite basic. Even with minimal luggage, there was no designated place to put it, so it had to stay on the floor. The overall cleanliness was decent, and the bedding was clean. However, the bathroom facilities were quite rudimentary, and the bathroom's hygiene was just so-so. The location was fantastic, right in the very center of town, making it easy to access all the breakfast places. The owner is a local who doesn't speak Chinese, though simple English communication was possible. Don't expect much in the way of effective service. However, for a diver who spends their entire day out, this temporary lodging offers excellent value for money.
