Staff unhelpful - no luggage help for older couple.
Cafe closed on arrival; we were given the impression that it was closed permanently but we were surprised to find it open when checking-out without breakfast!
Corridors smelt musty.

Firstly, if you read that this hotel has a free shuttle from the airport, don’t believe it (like I did before I booked based on it). There is no shuttle and this is false advertising. Secondly, if you write to them via Expedía, other than them telling you there is no shuttle, you won’t get any response to questions about taxis or any other forms of transport to get there. I tried three times with no reply. My advice is to download the Grab app (I read they took over Uber here) then use it with airport wifi when you arrive. I did and it worked perfectly (and the fare is about US$1 so a good tip in cash is well in order).
As for the hotel itself, the rooms are clean and modern so don’t be put off by the corridors to them. The pool area on the roof is quite nice (although the bar there is closed since covid) but there is nowhere to sit and if just one family with kids is there it’s not really worth staying around other than just to dip. I didn’t get to sample the breakfast as my flight (at 8.30am so not ridiculously early) meant I had to leave before it commenced. All in all, if you need a hotel for one night to make a connection next morning, this place will certainly do the trick.

So unfriendly and no information. Pool open but bar not, said could get breakfast, banner up but no activity. When checking in was told I had a free upgrade, then they in Malaysian changed their mind. Disappointed mis-informed. Room tired. No information given less room number and card. Cheap hotel.

We stayed at king suite. Amazing big and clean room. Minibar so exclusive. Pool located at rooftop is awesome. Can watch the sunset from there. My suggestion is that to provide also prayer mat for Muslim inside each room

Highly recommend. Just a bit noisy because of a nearby airport and on-going construction. Water heater does not function well. Good place to stay, clean and reasonable price.

An adequate hotel, easy check in and all the facilities that were needed for a nights sleep.
Breakfast was ok, juice wasn’t replenished so if you were late you missed out.

Amazing view from the pool. However, should stock up on more beers as they ran out fast when a lot of guest came.

This hotel is great value for money. Stayed with friends before and after we climbed Mount Kinabalu. Clean and comfortable and the staff were very accomodating. Also in an excellent location - about 10 minutes taxi to the airport or into town. Wouldn't recommend eating or drinking there - although the quality of the food was ok and they did their best to serve us, they seemed to be short of supplies. Aside from that, we had a fantastic stay.

Stayed there for a one night stopover. Had difficulty with the hotel sending over their shuttle. It wasnt that they didnt want to, its that the shuttlebus has no wordings on it that let me know its C'haya hotel. After waiting an hour for the bus, we just took an Uber to the Hotel for less than $3-4 USD. The distance was about 10-15min. Hotel had a muslim vibe, i liked the curtains and window style. Bathroom was western, room was okay for sleeping in. Bug free and cozy. Price was okay too. In summary, this hotel does nothing to stand out, but also does nothing too terribly to say its a bad choice. Stay here if price is right and you need to be close to airport.
