If given a chance I will still go back and use this hotel..its not like the high end ones but considering its price, Dreamtel is really good. Very convenient and even the check in and check out is very hassle free.

The property is clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Location wise, it close to most well known landmarks as well as group taxies and buses. The service is excellent and the staff is great. All in all, it a great hotel to stay in.

Spacious Room with great service
Loved the room size and the view facing the padang. Had a great view of the fireworks for the Malaysia Day celebration.
Breakfast spread can be further improve but loving the staff warmth & friendliness especially the trainee by the name Ms. Afrijinia.
Housekeeping was super efficient and had the room clean & tidied during our breakfast time.
Overall, very happy with the stay and will definitely return again when I'm in KK.

Infront hotel is local transport hub, close to busy road. 100m to Gaya Night Street. 15minutes walk to CentrePoint Mall and Waterftont. Bedding a bit dated. Buffet breakfast is basic but is ok.

Pleasant outlook
I had two different bookings and they arranged for me to stay in same room. Great breakfast and central location with nice outlook to park and/or water. Only problem air conditioner located to close to bed & control fixed to wall.

Det var sådan set ok, lige på nær at aircondition ikke virkede, så fik vi et nyt værelse, det hjalp lidt, men vi kunne ikke komme under 22 grader.

가성비 좋은 숙소
밤 늦게 코타키나발루 도착해서 하룻밤 자기 위한 숙소로는 좋지만 장시간 머물기에는 썩 청결하지 못한 곳입니다. 화장실 같은 경우에는 시대의 흔적이 많이 보이고, 방에 들어가자마자 바닥에 물이 고여있는 걸 볼 수 있었습니다. 늦게 도착하시는 분들에게 자정이 넘어서까지 체크인이 되기 때문에 하룻밤 머무는 정도로 추천합니다.
