Clean and comfortable hitel with good harbourfront virw
Small gym with good basic equipment. Room clean, view very lovely. A little noisy late at night from the end of the evening scooter rush. Staff are super friendly and extremely helpful. Great place to stay - especially if you’re doing water-based activities where you need to meet at the docks.

Very close to malls and restaurants. Hotel was clean and cozy. Staff were helpful.
No Free parking (charged at RM 15 per day) if you've rented a car. As such 2 less star for the facilities.

Clean and adequate
Stayed a night. Hotel is very dared. Bathroom quite bare. Price is a bit high for the condition. But it's clean and adequate with great location.

Staff was fantastic and super helpful and responsive. Moved me to a room with a view when checking in. Hotel is a little dated in terms of furnishing, but I can’t complain for the price. Felt safe the whole time, 24hr front desk for wacky checkout times, and convenient location across from the mall. Only major complaint is the noise at night. Albeit I was offered a quiet room or a room with a view, but just a little frustrated with waking up around 2-3am every night because of motorcyclists racing down the street.
Good location, near suria Sabah, nice & friendly bell boy. Poor house keeping service.

Disappointed
There's only 2 bath towels. No bar soap to wash your hands. There's bath gel, shampoo and conditioner. Receptionist said that they would bring extra bath towel, but did not. I had stayed there before covid time and service was much better.
The Laundry promise of same day service printed on their notifications in the room was not fulfilled. It was a false promise and created a wardrobe challenge for me. It is important not to mislead and give PRECISE time and date of delivery. In 45 years of intense global travel this has not happened before. Please instruct Gays Centre Hotel ASAP.
