歴史があり、英国統治下や日本軍占領下でも指導部に使用された由緒のある建物。ただ年月を経過したため構造の劣化は回避できない。ただ、英国式雰囲気は残り、情緒が漂う。また、統治下時代の銀座通りと呼ばれただけあり、現在も絵葉書等の写真に使用される。レストランは無いが周辺３０メートル以内に多様なカフェ等があり便利です。

새벽에 체크인했는데 편안히 쉴 수 있었습니다. 직원들 모두 친절하고 청소도 잘 해주셔습니다. 방음은 오래된 호텔이라 어느 정도는 감수해야할 듯. 귀마개하니 괜찮았습니다. 위치는 최고입니다. 제셀튼포인트 걸어서 10분. 선데이마켓은 바로 호텔앞. 주변에 가성비 좋은 식당, 카페 있습니다.

코타의 최초 호텔이라고 하는데 굉장히 깨끗합니다 무엇보다도 강력한 에어컨이 좋습니다 걸어서 여기저기 볼 수 있고 식당도 가깝습니다. 다시 온다면 또 선택할 의향이 있습니다.

Semuanya bagus tentang menginap di hotel ini. Akses mudah ke pusat perbelanjaan dan restoran. Di seberang hotel terdapat toko You Kee Bak Kut Teh yang terkenal. Puding kelapanya sangat enak.

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

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.

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.

It has been our third return stay at the Jesselton and the newly renovated rooms wing although lost some of the colonial charm comparing to the original furnishing are smartly appointed with all the creature comforts at hand. As expexted from a boutique hotel the staff welcomes you with a big smile each time you enter the building and Front Desk team acknowledges returning Guests. Perfect location on the corner of Gaya Street with Sunday flea market with local finds and curiosities, plus easy access to the lush jungle hill behind makes it a perfect stopover for any longer stay in Sabah!

コタキナバルのメインの通りに面していて、ナイトマーケット、サンデーマーケットなどが目の前で、便利な場所。ホテルはコタキナバルで一番古いらしく、歴史が感じられます。部屋はやはり古い感じですが、綺麗に保たれていました。
