CJ Residence - Opposite Public Bank Centre Point 3 stars

Kota Kinabalu

Set in Kota Kinabalu and with Filipino Market Sabah reachable within 400 metres, CJ Residence - Opposite Public Bank Centre Point offers express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, a restaurant, free WiFi and a bar. Built in 1970, this 3-star hotel is within 3 km of Sabah State Museum & Heritage Village and 5 km of North Borneo Railway. The accommodation provides room service, an ATM and currency exchange for guests. My girlfriend and I stayed here several days to rest after the rainforest treks. This residence was a pleasant discovery and a rare little gem in the world of hospitality. All nicely decorated, with a large bathroom, hot water (not at all obvious in Borneo) and a comfortable queen bed! The rooms have always been perfectly cleaned and the courtesy kits for guests always stocked with all kinds of very useful things with supplies even outside the room (often not even given in luxury hotels). The staff has always been friendly, really helpful and ready to welcome you at any time or in case of need. Best of all and super recommended! Five stars because more is not possible! ;)
