Jesselton cabin
The staff was the best part, they were lovely. The hotel however was under some renovations and wasn't too nice or clean. The location was also really good. The other thing is that I booked online and it was called Jesselton cabin but when I got there it was the north Borneo cabin and so I searched for a very long time.
