Twin Sharing - 2 Pax (Private Bathroom)

JaejunRating, 5 stars93 months ago

The location is great. It's a strategic location in Kota Kinabalu, so it's a good place to stay. There is a convenience store right next to the property and many restaurants. If you're not steps away, you'll find two banks that can be withdrawn. It's night, so you don't have to worry about what to do. Twenty steps away, Kota Kinabalu's two biggest clubs, bed and 999, await you. It's so nice to have the name of the place right away in Grab. The surrounding tourist attractions, including Tanjung Aru Beach, are also really close, so it's not worth the five stars! ^ ^
