The Crown Borneo

I don't think this is a bad hotel, but it has more of a "Hostel" feeling then a hotel. I guess this place used to be quite fancy, but don't expect that now, most pictures look dated. I used this hotel for my first day arrival and last day in Sabah. It is not expensive and it offers a shuttle to the airport. (although the last day my driver had issues, so I took a grab instead) Also they have a 24 hour reception, so when I arrived at 01:00 in the morning, I could just walk in. When I arrived they knew who I was, so that was nice. The rooms are basic and not clean. Wifi was very slow on level 3 (first stay) but was OK on lever 2 (last day). Breakfast is simple. You hear airplanes flying over frequently. The area has not much to offer, so just use this hotel as a gateway for the airport and you will be fine.

A small cosy hotel that is clean and very quiet because it is small. I booked a "Double Standard" room that was the first room from the staircase and I rarely heard anything. A 50MYR refundable deposit is required upon check-in. Toilet has shampoo provided if you need. The desk had two 500ml bottles of water for my consumption. 8-10 minutes from the airport with complimentary airport shuttle service that can be arranged. Many eateries around that sells cheap local food with convenience stalls around as well. You will hear planes flying by every hour or so, but it has never bothered me. There isn't much to do in the morning in this area, life kicks up more from noon onwards. For the price, I loved my 1 night stay here. If I'm ever back in the tanjung aru area, I will choose this hotel again.

It is not a negative title actualy. This hotel suprise me with the comfortable room and price worth it. Even this hotel didn’t have the elevator and using old key lock style but still the room is more important to me. Suitable with the price and the rating. Surrounded by restaurant and 24/7 shop. Near to go to the airport too. For one night stay here, it’s very satisfied me.
