Lee Feng Q...

Liked the over-looking balcony on the second level into the carpark and the late night live performances, bar and band nearby. Central local in Kinabalu for tourist.

Customer Review

Good economy choice inside center of the traveler section. Nice rooms in terms of design though they could use a place to put your clothes and such. Outdoor seating area. Lots of food choices, bars, banks etc nearby. They do a very good job setting you up on tours.

Customer Review

Staff wad INCREDIBLY helpful, they booked two tours for us, as well as giving suggestions on places to go, things to do, and restaurants to try. Rooms could be a bit bright and loud at night, but I'm a very light sleeper. Otherwise, it was a fairly clean and very comfortable place to stay! Would definitely go again!

Not a lot, especially that my airport lift didnt arrive and when I called I was told to get a taxi. when I arrived the employees seemed to uncover it quite funny that the driver had forgotten to pick me up! They did have free storage which i appreciated.
