The hotel is hidden inside the Star City Mall 3rd floor, lacking proper signage made it even harder to locate it. Only have one common use lif to access to the hotel, which is poorly maintain that it frequently showing error alarm code that the lift is overloaded even though only 3 persons boarded inside. Hotel is rather old and room is small, the bathroom is oddly designed that it is higher than the room's flooring that you need to go up one step of staircase and without mini bar, hair dryer and cupboard inside the room. However they provide a common use small fridge, a hot &cold water dispensing machine, free tea&coffee, microwave oven and ceramic bowls, a cups and plastic spoons in the lobby. Ventilation is quite bad as cigarette smoke from other rooms entered through our bathroom's air ventilation system. However, staff are friendly and helpful. They helped us to keep our luggages as we arrived earlier than check in time and also after we checked out. A budget hotel that is OK.

就在大茄來海鮮餐廳同個社區四樓，很方便。

這是一間經濟型的住房，套房價格非常便宜，離gaya街，菲律賓夜市，手工藝市場，centre point...等，都只在10分鐘的步行距離。櫃台服務非常熱心（可惜不會說華語）。 位置有點不好找。其他都ok。

It is not bad for a budget hotel of this price.

The place is quite hard to find, it is on top of a seafood restaurant. And it is some 20mins walk from Gaya street and the jesselton pier. My room is quite small and does not have a window nor a separate shower compartment. It is clean and tidy though. But next time I would probably stay somewhere closer to the town centre.
