Very convenient area. But, its not car park friendly. Ideal for walking tourists and Grab. ##### shahriman ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bond Apr 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is the most historical hotel in KK. Our suite room is still well maintained. It is roomy and decent. It's location is the best - right at the Gaya Street Market. There area a lot of dining options within walking distance. The only thing we wished it could be improved is the lack of flexible shower head as it is fixed at a very high position; otherwise, it is perfect, especially considering the affordable price. ##### Bond Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Arthur Feb 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### A historic hotel in the heart of Jesselton. However, the classic interior and furnishing is a little aged and tired. Staff were really helpful and courteous. I hope the management can restore this hotel to its former glory. ##### Arthur Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### GIM-LOO Mar 9, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness right in the middle of the city centre ##### GIM-LOO Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Oct 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff members were extremely friendly and helpful in arranging a driver for us who was equally friendly and helpful. The hotel photo doesn't look quite right--it is not on a corner, but it is on a street with trees down the median. We liked it enough that stayed there a second time, two weeks later. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Goh Jul 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Under renovation Under renovation ##### Goh Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Siok Siong Sep 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Room as expected for age.

Plenty of eating choices nearby with a Japanese restaurant downstairs. The room was comfortable once I figured out how to work the A/C and lights. When I had questions they were quick to take care of whatever I needed. Recommended at a reasonable price. ##### Dennis Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Staying in the hotel is just like way back to colonial era as it should be one of the oldest hotel in the city. Location is so convenient for visiting tourist hotspot and famous restaurant. The indoor lighting is not bright enough which make the room is a bit too dark at night. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3DC454CCE7E84768354635913383650A0F21B9AD1704286771590.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7A2C25C1E2FCEA2A09407F2FADEB301FE119F5961704286771727.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### john Mar 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Recommended This hotel is one of those old fashioned hotel's It is small but central. Very polite receptionists and room boy.all helpful and speak excellent English. If you require all the modern convenient appliances and sky bars and restaurants. Do not book this hotel if you just want a nice room and old fashioned civility this is the place for you ##### john Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Mar 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel in perfect location The Jesselton is in Gaya Street in the heart of KK. It is the perfect location for exploring the city, with everything within walking distance. The hotel is probably the oldest in KK, but the rooms are comfortable and fairly modern. Everything in the hotel is of high quality, and well maintained. The Jesselton harks back to more elegant times . There is no ding room, but there is an endless selection of restaurants close by. What was the restaurant is now a rather good sushi restaurant. The lack of a swimming pool wasn't a problem for us as we only stayed a few days. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Mar 1, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness #### Bathroom not clean when checked in I have stayed in this hotel numerous time. It is convenient and the refurbished or extension boutique section is stylish and comfortable. Staff is helpful. However, to my surprised the bathroom left with rubbsih or used toiletries when i checked in. I suspected the bathroom has not been cleansed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Leung Feb 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The checkout procedure was tedious and lengthy.
