I'll definitely choose The Jesselton Hotel again over all others if blessed to return to Kota Kinabalu. Everything about The Jesselton was just right for a modest hotel with historic value in KK's cultural Old Town where ambiance is authentic, unlike corporate multi-national hotels. The Jesselton Hotel's bed was far more comfy than some pricier hotels. That plus superb air-conditioning and good hot water and water pressure for showers before bed meant a good sleep each night. This was even more important in KK due to its endless new things to do each day and many of the best of those within walking distance of The Jesselton Hotel. A comfortable little seating area in The Jesselton's foyer is so cozy, it offers an atmosphere conducive for guests to socialize and share tour and travel information. Although this historic hotel has no restaurant, it's in the middle of cafe row, with one fascinating cafe or restaurant after another, all within walking distance. Others, such as Friendly Seafood is only a short Grab or Taxi ride away. The location couldn't be better. The Government Tourist Center being only a few doors down is a plus. It's only a couple of blocks from KK's famous not-to-be-missed Weekend Night Food Market each Friday and Saturday, the perfect cultural dinner place. On Sunday mornings, just walk out The Jesselton Hotel's front door to enjoy the street transformed into KK's amazing Sunday Street Market, complete with musicians and handicrafts. Even the famous daily and nightly Handicraft Market stretching for a total of a mile with its world famous seafood stalls at the back on the riverfront is within walking distance if one likes to hike a bit longer. The women receptionists were extremely helpful and kind. They looked out for my safety, helped ensure I was where I needed to be on time, and quickly attended to every other need. On top of all that, The Jesselton is very reasonably priced. It's amazingly good...

excellent clean and safe car park

The location is great, near the largest shopping complex in KK. Near to restaurant facilities.
