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.

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!

The booking page provided clear and detailed instructions. Its prime location, right next to Gaya Street, made it incredibly convenient to explore. There were plenty of delicious food options nearby. I particularly enjoyed the common areas. The place was clean, and the facilities were comprehensive. I had an excellent two-day stay and would definitely return.

I arrived in KK after a 10 hour bus ride and the place couldn’t be better. Big and comfy bed, clean showers, coffee station with free water, balcony. They allowed me to leave my stuff there for free until I returned from a week long trip. I recommend staying at this hostel

__CFT010000002230****Very good hotel, very cost-effective, and in a good location, but the hygiene is not very good. I slept there for two nights and my body was very itchy. The itching lasted for more than ten days. It is recommended to wear clothes before sleeping.

AAnonymous UserThe hotel had some really nice amenities. Everything is keycard locked, even the pods. There were lockers in the rooms, even downstairs. The bathrooms were nice as well because cubicles had both toilet and shower, even a sink. I had breakfast the next day. My only inconvenience was its location. I arrived late and there were no establishments around that was still open except for one small store, where the guy looking after it was also aggressive and creepy. Other than that, safe neighborhood because there were security guards at the nearby establishments.

MMUHAMMAD AMIN RASHIDIThe cheapest hotel we found in Tawau for these past few days. But need to be alert, no lift provided, need to use stairs. Selalu kena raid dengan jabatan agama ya guys.
