One of the most comfortable hotels to stay in Semporna. I regret not booking a later date. If I do, I won’t be able to book it. It's a few minutes' walk to the pier and a few minutes' walk to the seafood market. The service and atmosphere of the restaurant downstairs is 20rm per person, which is comparable to that of domestic steakhouses.
First, let’s talk about the supporting facilities: the hotel has 4 floors in total and is relatively newly decorated. The first floor is the reception hall with an elegant rest area. There will be staff to open the door to greet you warmly and help you carry your luggage. Next door is a cafe and dining room with an elegant environment. The area is also open to the outside world. There are guest rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There are many rooms. Our 300-per-night double room with breakfast for two also comes with a single bed. It has a lot of space and a long table, which is great for putting things. It has a hairdryer and a clothes drying rack. The room faces the sea and has a balcony. The fourth floor is the breakfast room, which has a rich variety and good air conditioning. It has Chinese and Western styles, which are very suitable for Chinese tastes. There is also fried rice noodles, where you can eat while looking at the sea view.
Transportation: It is very close to the pier, about 600 meters on foot. Even if there is no car to pick up and drop off at sea, it only takes a few minutes to walk there. It is also very close to the seafood market, which is also a few hundred meters. There is a relatively large convenience store downstairs, which is more convenient for buying water and daily necessities.
Let’s talk about the service: they can communicate in Chinese, which is very convenient. They greeted us with a warm smile throughout the process and helped us with our luggage. When they saw us using our mobile phones to find navigation in the lobby, they would proactively ask if we needed help, and they could shuttle us to the pier and back to the hotel for free.
Let’s talk about the food: The food in the restaurant downstairs is the most comfortable meal we have had in Sabah and Semporna. The environment is elegant, the taste is very in line with Chinese tastes, and the presentation is beautiful and exquisite, and the price is affordable. A portion of pasta or rice with meat. The set menu only costs 10.09rm, and the same chocolate frappuccino from Starbucks only costs 10.09rm, and it’s still a super large cup. There are many choices of various drinks, which is really cost-effective. The taste is great!
The only disadvantage of this hotel is that it faces the street and is noisy with cars coming and going. However, most hotels in Semporna and Sabah are facing the street and will be noisy. This is a common problem. During the more than a week we were here, the hotel was noisy every day. This problem occurs in different hotels I have stayed in. Fortunately, the rooms are relatively large and have windows, so the ventilation is quite good.
