Spacious Room with great service

Loved the room size and the view facing the padang. Had a great view of the fireworks for the Malaysia Day celebration. Breakfast spread can be further improve but loving the staff warmth & friendliness especially the trainee by the name Ms. Afrijinia. Housekeeping was super efficient and had the room clean & tidied during our breakfast time. Overall, very happy with the stay and will definitely return again when I'm in KK.

Infront hotel is local transport hub, close to busy road. 100m to Gaya Night Street. 15minutes walk to CentrePoint Mall and Waterftont. Bedding a bit dated. Buffet breakfast is basic but is ok.

가성비 좋은 숙소

밤 늦게 코타키나발루 도착해서 하룻밤 자기 위한 숙소로는 좋지만 장시간 머물기에는 썩 청결하지 못한 곳입니다. 화장실 같은 경우에는 시대의 흔적이 많이 보이고, 방에 들어가자마자 바닥에 물이 고여있는 걸 볼 수 있었습니다. 늦게 도착하시는 분들에게 자정이 넘어서까지 체크인이 되기 때문에 하룻밤 머무는 정도로 추천합니다.

モスクが近いので、早朝５時とか大音量でうるさい。 泊まった部屋は６階の海が見える良い部屋で大満足。 シャワーとトイレが一緒の空間にあり、一応ガラスで仕切られているものの、シャワーの水がトイレの足元に流れてくることがある。洗面台の横にトイレットホルダーがついていて、洗面所を使うと水が飛んで、トイレットペーパーが濡れることがあるので注意。 総合的には値段の割にスタッフのサービス対応が非常に良かったので、また泊まりたいと思う。
