Hotel located within walking distance of the Semporna jetty in Malaysia. Strengths include clean room conditions and excellent city accessibility, with easy access to surrounding commercial areas and amenities. However, rooms may be somewhat compact due to the nature of backpacker accommodations. Ideal for value-seeking travelers enjoying island hopping tours, as it is adjacent to Tun Sakaran Marine Park.
