Hotel Deleeton — Hotel in Borneo

Stayed here for 2 nights - first on Feb 4, 2019, and then again on Feb 6, 2019.||||This establishment is in a perfect location right across from Centre Point Sabah, and also a stone's throw from the infamous night market.||||Concierge was welcoming, courteous, and very friendly. Security was pretty sound; main entrance is locked after 2100 hours and the only way to get in is for hotel guests to tap their room cards on the reader by the front entrance. WiFi here, which seems to be floor-specific, was strong. Note that no food is provided here and this is no biggie as there are a ton of eateries around, some even operating 24 hours.||||For the Feb 4 stay, I was housed in Room 305 on L3 - a single room along the side street facing north-northeast. Room came with a clean comfy bed, good aircon, cold mini-fridge, wall-mounted tv, a kettle, and a full-length mirror. It also had 4 power outlets in total - 1 in bathroom and 3 in room itself. Only downside to this room is the malfunctioning hot shower (spurts only old water) + low-pressure shower head. One other thing though, it can get just a tad noisy from the traffic outside so if you're a light sleeper, bring ear-plugs. ||||As for Feb 6, I was exhausted upon returning from Mount Kinabalu trek at sometime between 1900 ~ 2000 hours for my follow-up stay at this establishment only to learn that I made a booboo in my online booking; have booked a single room for Feb 7 instead of Feb 6. The concierge team, however, was exceedingly kind and gracious. They offered to let me in by accepting my booking as a Feb 6 pre-book. And when they learnt that all single rooms were fully booked for the night, they gave me a complimentary upgrade to a queen room, room 313. I was so very relieved to just have a bed to crash into deep slumber as I was completely knackered from the summit hike and was desperate for some serious shut-eye. This room, while also on L3, sits directly across from Centre Point KK's main entrance. I actually thought it's quieter here than the side-facing single room I was in 2 night ago, or maybe it was because I was dead to the world in deep slumber throughout the evening. The duvet worked fine for me but on hindsight, it seemed a tad smaller than I thought it should be for 2 pax on a queen bedder.||||Room 313 was nice with the same standard outfits such as a clean comfy bed, good aircon, mini-fridge (though not so cold), a wall-mounted tv, a kettle, and a decent ensuite. Hot water shower, my first here in KK, was an absolute joy and it came with good water pressure. What's interesting is that I couldn't locate any power outlet throughout this room; have had to dislodge the power plug of the floor lamp just so I could use the power socket to charge my devices. Nonetheless, would I return for another stay? No doubt.||||Side note: Have to try the fresh seafood which came with absolutely delish homemade...

Honest Review of Hotel Deleeton – Room 117 (4-Day Stay)

I stayed in Room 117 for four days and here’s my honest feedback.

I arrived at the hotel around 1 AM. The first impression was a bit underwhelming—the hotel looked old and somewhat dreary. The staff were okay, though not as warm or welcoming as those in other hotels I’ve stayed at.

Upon entering the room, I was honestly disappointed and almost considered switching hotels immediately. The hotel clearly needs serious renovation. The room felt a bit depressing. The bathroom needs improvement—the shower head was in poor condition, the shower door was missing (although the CR door was intact, so no worries there). There were large windows in the room that couldn’t be opened, and I noticed cobwebs. The carpet had several iron burn marks, which was odd—who irons on the floor?

However, by the next day, the overall vibe seemed to change—maybe it was just my mood. The location is quite lively and conveniently close to restaurants, convenience stores, malls, massage parlors, and food stalls. The staff, while generally quiet, were respectful and especially kind in housekeeping. They always smiled and made an effort to talk to me, assuming I was a local. They did their best to communicate in English.

The location is really a strong point. That said, it can get noisy in the morning due to traffic—light sleepers, be warned. My door didn’t close properly, so I had to remind myself to make sure it was shut. Also, don’t forget to bring a universal adapter, as the outlets aren’t compatible with all plugs (my fault for not bringing one, but the staff did lend me one).

Despite the flaws, the stay became tolerable after the first day. Considering the price, it’s a decent option for a private room with your own CR. The air conditioning worked fine, water pressure was strong, there’s a TV, and the bed, mattress, pillow, and comforter were all okay. Lighting, cabinet space, and a refrigerator were available (though I didn’t use the fridge since the power shuts off when you remove your room key card).

All in all, it was an okay stay. The best part is definitely the location—everything is within walking distance. Just a heads-up: there’s no smoking area inside, so you’ll have to go...
