Just beautiful and awsome place thanks .

This place is awesome as you enter the lobby it takes you back in time and make you feel in a grand hotel.

There is nothing negative to say about the place.

Good stay!

I loved the mid-century modern vibe of the Boutique King room in the hotel's renovated wing. Also, there was so much natural light.

- The hotel has no food outlet, but there are plenty of eateries nearby. - The view from the room. - The ventilation fan in the bathroom and the pipes in the walls made so much noise!

Thumb Ups!

Excellent location, easy to access to food, malls, night market, banks & etc. As the room I stayed this round at new wing section was much more nicer than my last stay, and the window between the bathroom and bed, it feels like a studio design, love it! Overall, good place to stay & will visit again for sure.

Nice, Comfy & Feel like home.....

Excellent location, easy to access to food, malls, night market, banks & etc. The room was clean and comfy, feel like home & value for money. Overall, good place to stay & will visit again for sure.

The room I stayed this time was located at old wing section, maybe need to be refurbish and upgrade a bit.

A cozy haven from home

The location in the city is very convenient. It is walking distance to the waterfront and behind it, the walk into Signal Hill. Bars and restaurants (including the El Centro which we visited 6 times in 3 days) and local eateries and supermarkets abound. Parking for our hired car was not a problem outside peak hours. The hotel is also 2 mins walk away from the Sabah Tourism office where we could get detailed information. Although in a busy main street, once in our room, it was a cozy haven to rest and rejuvenate.

I would highly recommend this hotel

very nicely decorated rooms (we stayed in the colonial style room in wood) with warm colors and nice atmosphere. the location is excellent next to many restaurants and local markets. the staff was great as they also helped us find good local restaurants.

the fridge in the room made a weird noise throughout the night, and the ac could not be controlled

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone coming to KK.

The staff live up to their motto - Come as guests and leave as friends :) They were super friendly, helpful and courteous in every way and made our stay enjoyable. The location was great with easy access to shops, restaurants and market.

There was nothing that we didn't like.

It is what it says on the can - an old Colonial Hotel.

Good location, albeit in the old town area. No restaurant or food offering on site. Restaurant next door, but no breakfast served. A little uncomfortable as a lone female venturing out at night to search for food outlets, the area was a little downtrodden looking.

Lack of food or room service. No bar or facility for service of drinks.

Great deal, great comfort on a budget. Huge rooms.

I stayed in the twin bed room it was huge. After being in small rooms elsewhere in Malaysia it was so good to be in a room the size of an apartment. Wonderfully comfortable, well located and with all mod cons. Worth it.

So they need to reupholster their chairs as all of them are the thread is running bare on the arms - it's not a good look. They probably need to replace the carpets too. But hey - the room facilities and comfort are definitely on a par with a 4 star hotel not kidding. Important point to note - in the photos here on booking.com and elsewhere the entrance is rather grand and on a street corner. Doesn't exist anymore - this is now a Sushi restaurant and separate from the hotel. When I turned up I was trying to work out where the grand entrance was instead of the the little side entrance that was there - but don't let that put you off staying there as the rooms are so big and relaxing. Would stay again.

Good hotel, perfect as a base for exploring KK.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful (storing luggage, arranging taxis etc). The room was very clean and comfortable and perfect for what we needed. It was also in the centre of the city, close to local shops and restaurants and conveniently located a short taxi drive from the airport.

The breakfast was a little strange, consisting of a sandwich, a bottle of water and a piece of fruit, delivered in a bag to our door in the morning. It was all perfectly edible but I would have preferred something different.
