Good match for:

  • Budget Solo Adventurers: Affordable US$52 rooms with free Wi-Fi and shuttle leave more budget for exploring local markets.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Beach Resort Seekers: No pool on-site and Tanjung Aru Beach sits 5.3 km away, requiring transport to reach.

For the price I paid, the room is worth it! It’s right at Gaya street with all the eateries and night markets within walking distance. I couldn’t ask for more!

Also the lobby is at the 2nd floor. So you won’...
