Central gem in KK 🌆
Lekker location, right by all the food spots and markets! The new wing room I stayed in was just stunning, felt like a fancy flat with that studio vibe. Oh, and brekkie was proper good!
Just had a bit of a leak in the bathroom, so that was a bit of a bother.

The Jesselton is centrally located, making explorations easy.
During my stay, I experienced several issues. The Wi-Fi was spotty, constantly disconnecting and making it impossible to plan my outings efficiently. The air conditioning in my Deluxe Twin room was leaking, creating an unpleasant environment. the room felt outdated, with broken outlets and a malfunctioning shower that begged for repair. The noise from the street and nearby night market was quite disruptive, hindering relaxation during my stay.

The accommodation was cozy and appealing, featuring a stylish design that really makes a statement. The location is perfect for anyone wanting to explore the city. major attractions like the Pillars of Sabah and Central Market are just a short stroll away. The room was clean and I appreciated the spacious layout and modern bathroom. I enjoyed my time here while catching up on some local sightseeing over a couple of days.

A commendable fit for a short visit in Kota Kinabalu with best value. The breakfast set was truly satisfying with a good amount of food for the price. Try to enjoy the breakfast early to beat the crowd.

Just spent a night after flying in, and the vibe is super chill. The staff were nice and super friendly, and we enjoyed some delish food from the restaurant. The bathroom in our room was fresh with good toiletries. Just wish the Wi-Fi was a bit better. it kept disconnecting. a thumbs up!
