“Pleasant, cool, quiet place in an otherwise untidy, even dirty, surrounding.”

The helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness, the breakfast, the location, even if the surroundings aren't very pleasant. But that is all of Semporna!

“Very basic but might be your best option in Semporna”
27 Oct 2024
The location is good, you don't need a taxi to get to restaurants or the dock. Staff were decent. Breakfast was basic but ok. There is a washing machine, but somehow it was always running when we wanted to use it so we went to a laundromat in the end.

“Good”

“Cosy place love it”
13 Oct 2024
Breakfast is local style, the location is really good, fairly close to durian shop, 10min walk to the Main Street and the dock, if I had any chance to visit I would definitely stay here again.
