Very good

It is the most historical hotel in KK. Our suite room is still well maintained. It is roomy and decent. It's location is the best - right at the Gaya Street Market. There area a lot of dining options within walking distance. The only thing we wished it could be improved is the lack of flexible shower head as it is fixed at a very high position; otherwise, it is perfect, especially considering the affordable price.
The Jesselton is in Gaya Street in the heart of KK. It is the perfect location for exploring the city, with everything within walking distance.
The hotel is probably the oldest in KK, but the rooms are comfortable and fairly modern. Everything in the hotel is of high quality, and well maintained. The Jesselton harks back to more elegant times .
There is no ding room, but there is an endless selection of restaurants close by. What was the restaurant is now a rather good sushi restaurant.
The lack of a swimming pool wasn't a problem for us as we only stayed a few days.
This hotel is one of those old fashioned hotel's It is small but central. Very polite receptionists and room boy.all helpful and speak excellent English. If you require all the modern convenient appliances and sky bars and restaurants. Do not book this hotel if you just want a nice room and old fashioned civility this is the place for you

A historic hotel in the heart of Jesselton.
However, the classic interior and furnishing is a little aged and tired. Staff were really helpful and courteous. I hope the management can restore this hotel to its former glory.
Staff members were extremely friendly and helpful in arranging a driver for us who was equally friendly and helpful. The hotel photo doesn't look quite right--it is not on a corner, but it is on a street with trees down the median. We liked it enough that stayed there a second time, two weeks later.
This is a nice, small, old style hotel in a good location. Plenty of eating choices nearby with a Japanese restaurant downstairs. The room was comfortable once I figured out how to work the A/C and lights. When I had questions they were quick to take care of whatever I needed. Recommended at a reasonable price.
The Jesselton Hotel is right in middle of town and there are many eating places nearby. It is one of the few English built buildings left standing. It has been modernized to make it a comfortable Hotel. The Restaurant was closed for r enervation while I was there. Over all I had no complaints about this Hotel. had four nights there.
