    It was okay. The staff were great. Some people were a noisy. They weren't travellers but migrant workers from somewhere. There were no bed bugs.

    The staff was really nice and helped a lot with planning what to do and how to get around in the city. After climbing Mt. Kinabalu they even changed my upper bed to one down so I can rest better.
