The suite is spacious with a very considerate price. The room facilities are complete, kitchenette, wifi etc. The room atmosphere is so fragrant scented with air fragrance making the sleep so peaceful. The hostess is very friendly and available online should you have any questions about the suite. Valuable for your stay and money. I rate it as wonderful and I recommend you should stay there when visiting Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Great service and clean and everything is even new. Beds were quite comfortable and everything worked as it should (not that common somehow). The owner is great and very helpful and friendly as well! Need to get a taxi to most places or rent a car but grab or other taxis are easy.
