The only hotel in Malaysia that propagandises recycled theme successfully. They collected acidic food waste to turn into detergent for housekeeping use, no plastic use throughout, Having the one and only non smoking karaoke bar, the Glamorous and most public area are non smoking too; stress only homemade sauces and recipe in the restaurant, planted various vegetation as kitchen supplies....

The hotel overall was quite reasonable for a budget hotel, decent breakfast, slightly overcrowded swimming pool, staff were keen to please. Unfortunately for us our suite had an overwhelming stench of stale cigarette butts that no amount of airfreshener or airconditioning could budge, we checked out after just one night, not on our list of places to revisit.

The room was quite spacious and they even provided a king size bed. The fridge was empty but clean. Service was excellent and breakfast had a quite a broad range of food. Gym was good and well equipped. Unfortunately due to the hectic schedule my children was unable to play at the pool. More

My first impression of this hotel was totally wrong. When I stepped in for the first time recently, I was impressed by its furnishing and facilities. The location is good as it's close to a shopping complex. Ideal for those who drive a car as there are ample parking spaces available. More

This was a good, clean and stylish hotel for a bargain price. After returning to KK in the evening from a few days in the jungle, I was over the moon to use the good hot shower and the hairdryer which was in the room. There was also a TV with cable and we found a film in English to... More

Spent our last two nights in Sabah here, having booked two twin rooms. We booked here as we got a fairly decent rate and the hotel has a pool. We were arriving in the late afternnon so the pool would be handy for a quick swim. Rooms were clean and comfortable with the usual hotel amenities. Nothing fantastic about them... More

We had a good experience staying at the Palace hotel (not to be confused with the Berjaya Palace) for one night. I would not recommend a long stay, but as a stopover hotel or if you are on a budget it is fine. Taxi from the airport to the hotel was 30 MR. I wasn't expecting too much since I... More
