6.2/10

I had a mixed experience at Winner Hotel. The location is fantastic for shopping and walking around, but the room was quite small and uncomfortable due to the hard bed. Overall, it's a budget option if you're mainly out and about exploring. 🏙️🛌

Rooms

6.0

The room was small with a hard bed and thin pillows. It had a damp smell, and the air conditioning blasted directly on the bed, which was a bit uncomfortable.

Service

5.0

The staff were helpful, especially when I needed to call a cab, but the limited cleanliness in the room and broken items left room for improvement.

Location

9.0

I loved the hotel's strategic location! I could easily walk to several shopping malls like Center Point and Oceanus Mall, making it super convenient for shopping.

Dining

6.0

The simple breakfast was okay, with limited options like Nasi Lemak or fried eggs, but it was nice to have something included before starting my day.

Facilities

The lack of self-transportation options was a bit of a hassle, but the WiFi worked fine for me during my stay on the 8th floor.

6.2/10

My stay at Winner Hotel was quite disappointing overall. The location is decent, as it's close to shops and eateries, but the room conditions were far from satisfactory. The staff were friendly and tried to be accommodating, but the outdated facilities made my experience less enjoyable.

Rooms

5.0

The room was quite small, with dirty carpets and outdated furniture that looked like it hadn't been updated in decades. The air conditioning unit was new, which was a silver lining, but standing on the bed to adjust it was not ideal.

Service

6.0

The staff were helpful and friendly, trying to accommodate early risers heading out for tours, which I appreciated. However, that wasn't enough to make up for the hotel's other shortcomings.

Location

7.0

Winner Hotel is centrally located, making it easy to walk to shops and restaurants in the area, especially around Kampung Air. However, I'm afraid that the positives of the location were overshadowed by the overall condition of the hotel.

Dining

5.0

Though dining options were nearby, I didn't get a chance to fully explore them. Knowing about eateries in the vicinity gives it a slight edge, but I spent most of my time in a rather uninviting room.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel's facilities felt very dated, and I noticed constant dripping from the upper floors. Overall, I wouldn't say the amenities lived up to the three-star rating.

5.8/10

My stay at Winner Hotel in Kota Kinabalu was quite pleasant, especially for its central location and affordable pricing. The rooms are newly renovated and clean, providing a comfortable environment. However, the WiFi service was inconsistent, which affected my ability to connect reliably during my stay.

Rooms

7.0

The room I stayed in was small but newly renovated, offering a modern design and clean accommodations. I appreciated amenities like the kettle, hair dryer, and daily towel changes. However, I did find the bed slightly stiff and the TV signal was not very clear.

Service

6.0

The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly during check-in when they assisted with my luggage. However, I was disappointed that the lift was out of service for the duration of my stay, requiring me to use the stairs frequently.

Location

9.0

The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to access nearby dining options, shopping centers, and attractions. It's only a short walk to places like The CentrePoint and the waterfront, which was very convenient for exploring the area.

Dining

7.0

While the hotel itself doesn't have a lot of dining options, it's surrounded by many eateries and a 24-hour KFC nearby, which made grabbing a bite very easy.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel is equipped with essential facilities like free WiFi, though the service was problematic at times. Overall, the basic amenities met my needs during my stay.

6.6/10

I had a decent stay at Winner Hotel, thanks to its helpful staff and good WiFi, but the breakfast left a lot to be desired. My room was spacious enough, but the bathroom had issues that can't be ignored. Overall, it's a budget-friendly spot, but don't expect luxury.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in was clean and adequately sized, but there were leaks in the bathroom, which was pretty gross. I could also hear the air conditioning struggling throughout my stay.

Service

7.0

The front desk staff were super helpful and quick during my check-in. However, the breakfast staff could definitely use some hospitality training as they didn't seem cheerful.

Location

8.0

I loved that the hotel was directly across the street from a busy shopping mall and only a short walk from the waterfront, making it super convenient.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was included, but the options were limited to just Nasi Lemak or fried eggs. I had to wait a bit too long, and the staff didn't exactly greet me with smiles.

Facilities

Housekeeping did a decent job, but the bathroom needed a bit more attention; the soap holder was broken, making things a bit tricky.
