8/10 Very good

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.

Room as expected for age. Quite well maintained.
Siok Siong, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

This is a nice, small, old style hotel in a good location. 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.

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

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.

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.

The checkout procedure was tedious and lengthy. It may due to lack of training or being trained.

새벽에 체크인했는데 편안히 쉴 수 있었습니다. 직원들 모두 친절하고 청소도 잘 해주셔습니다. 방음은 오래된 호텔이라 어느 정도는 감수해야할 듯. 귀마개하니 괜찮았습니다. 위치는 최고입니다. 제셀튼포인트 걸어서 10분. 선데이마켓은 바로 호텔앞. 주변에 가성비 좋은 식당, 카페 있습니다.

施設は古びてきましたしメインダイニングもなくなってしまいましたが、KKを 代表するホテルであった頃の面影は残っており、滞在しているとなぜか安らぎます。ロケーションは抜群。ただし週末はマーケットで騒々しい。
