KK호텔 추천하지 않습니다

밤 비행기를 타고 새벽에 도착해서 잠깐 눈만 붙이고 주변 르메르디앙 호텔로 옮기는 계획이었는데 막상 kk호텔에 몇시간 눈만붙이고 나오는데 너무 불편했네요 먼저 쾌쾌묵은 냄새와 시설, 새벽에 이상한 굉음소리, 망가져가는 화장실 등등... 그냥 마음편히 한군데 예약할걸 후회했네요 몇푼아끼자고 가족여행 첫날 이미지 완전망쳤네요 한 번 이용해보면 두번은 절대 가고 싶은 마음이 안들겁니다. 밤 비행기타고 이동하신다면 다른곳으로 예약하는것을 추천합니딘. 순간의 선택이 여행을 망칠수 있습니다

코타키나발루에서 정말 저렴한 호텔!!!

방에서 조금 냄새가 났고 가뭄에 한 줄기 물 같은 수압으로 샤워를 했다. 그런 물이 모여 홍수처럼 넘쳤다. 배수구로 물이 정말 안빠졌다는 말...

하루묵기 굉장히 유용합니다

8월초 여름 저녁비행기타고 넘어와서 하루 잠자는용도로 이용을했고요 방은 남자인 저 혼자 쓰기에는 깔끔하고 크기도 만족스러웠습니다 기본적으로 주는 아침식사도 굉장히 맛있었고요 다만 방자체가 굉장히 습한느낌이 있었고(필자는5층이였음) 저만그런지 모르겠는데 에어컨을틀면 두꺼비집이 내려가서 전기가 방전체 차단되버리는 기이한현상을 겪어서..ㅋㅋ 그래도 다행히 자는도중에 그렇게 된거라 수면에는 큰 지장이 없었습니다만 워낙 인상깊게 자리잡았네요 개인적으로는 위치가 굉장히 훌륭하기때문에 하루정도 정비및 주변환경 파악하시기에는 최적의 호텔이라 생각합니다

위치만 좋아요. 별로 추천안해요 ㅠㅠ

시내에 위치해 있어서 쇼핑하기 좋고 한식당 많아서 좋지만 방은 깨끗하지 않습니다. 분위기도 음침하구요. 가격 생각하고 분위기 생각 안하면 괜찮구요. 아참 온수가 안 나와서 불편했어요. 낡았구 창문도 작구요.

The location is very good. Staff are ok, bathroom was flooding due to a water leak but maintenance said they couldn't do anything. No other room offered. Breakfast is very basic and most choices have ran out by 9 am. Overpriced for what you get. I'm not going there again.

가격대에 딱 맞는 호텔

이틀 묵었는데 위치 정말 좋아요. 직원분들도 친절하셨고요. 벌레도 못봤어요. 하지만 샤워실과 화장실이 굉장히 좁았어요. 에어컨 틀어도 덥고, 제습이 잘안되서 꿉꿉했어요. 그래서 약간 냄새가 나길래 가져간 향초 켜놨었어요. 수영복을 빨아서 수건으로 감싸 물기 다 짜내고 밤새 에어컨바람 직선으로 오는 곳에 널어뒀는데도 아침에 촉촉하니 덜 말랐더라고요.(바로 옆에 코인세탁방 있어요.) 그리고 조식이 별로라서 이틀째엔 밖에서 다른거 사먹었어요.

객실 내에서 원화 20만원 분실 하였습니다. 클리닝 스텝말고는 출입이 없었는데 분실되었네요, 객실 내부에는 cctv 가 없으니 사장이 우리보러 현금 있었던 것을 중명하라고 하더군요, 경찰서까지 갔는데 경찰에서도 우리가 현금 보유하고 있던 걸 증명해야 처리가능하다고 합니다. police report 쓰면 처리 되는데까지 1-2주 걸리는데 그때까지 코타키나발루에 체류하라고 하더군요;; 돈 20만원 분실보다 경찰서 및 도난 사건으로 얘기하느라 4-5시간 날린게 더 억울하고 기분 망쳤습니다. 사장이라는 사람은 무조건 police report 가져와야 처리해주겠다고 하는거 보니 1-2주 체류가 불가능할 거를 알고 있었던 것 같네요; 여튼 다신 갈일 없으니 잊어야죠 아 물론 코타키나발루 자체는 너무 좋았습니다.

밤비행기 타기 전 쉬어간 곳

평범하면서 살짝 오래된 느낌의 호텔, 5층이라 그런지 수압이 낮고 습한기후때문에 화장실 기구엔 보통 녹이슬거나 곰팡이가 있습니다. 베드는 깔끔한편, 방 키가 한개라 키를 빼버리면 모든 전기가 차단되 외출하고오면 덥습니다. 밤비행기 타기전 쉬고싶어 체크인한 룸이라 숙박은 하지 않았습니다.
