Pleasant outlook with views to the mountain, however the chalets are in need of a general update. This is quite an old property and would gain much from a renovation.

I have booked a Junior Suite room. But upon check-in, the staff told me that there would be no TV channel in my room. Later I realised that the room opposite (which is a smaller type of room) had the TV on inside the room! My room was very big and spacious. It was supposed to be the mountain view but all I could see was only the tip of the mountain as there is a huge and tall fences infront of the room! I had to go to the outside of the hotel’s restaurant to see the full view. The water heater was working but the water pressure was low. The breakfast (not included in the room’s price) was not good either. The location was good, just a walking distance to the small town. Overall, it’s not worth the price and will not stay in the hotel again.

Stay here for one night. Room looks quite old. Room has no fridge. The lighting inside the room suitable for honeymoon couple not for family (dim light). Breakfast also limited - fried mee, nasi lemak & porridge with hot tea / coffee. If want cold water, have to buy . The best thing here is the scene is superb especially at the cafe where the Mount of Kinabalu can clearly be seen. Staff also helpful

Great location with awesome mountain view

Great location, very near to the "town" at Kundasang, walking distance to KFC, Kundasang Memorial War Musuem. the view from our room to Mt Kinabalu is awesome, you can also view it from the restaurant, it's superb!!! The room condition is normal or below average, 2-3 stars rating. Can be improve by providing better room slipper, more choices on TV channel (only Malay channel available), brighter lighting in the room. The breakfast included have few choices to choose, the 2nd day I ordered Nasi Lemak and asked for more sambal, the staff said it's chargeable which I felt it's too "stingy" . Overall the hotel is OK, only the mountain view from the hotel impressed me. And great location
