Royale Borneo Hotel, Tawau - My Personal Review

source from hotel website

 

this is was my 1st trip to Tawau. TH booked the hotel that he feels i would be comfortable to stay in. he was nervous i guess to book the hotel. but for me, since i have lowered down my expectation, i am ok with it. notice that we had sort of 2 different dates? well, we wanted to be adventurous so i told TH to book only for first 2 nights, and the rest of the 4 nights, we can try other hotels. errmmm... we didn't like other hotels. 

so, gais, if you are travelling to Tawau, this is the best that i can recommend. 

on the 2nd session there only i realized that it has a shopping center just next to the hotel. don't expect it to be huge lah kan, but ok lah to get some clothes, toys, mr diy, phones stuff. it is so convenient. and i managed to go to the hair saloon before my flight back to KL on the last day. the next time i am going to be in Tawau, i will definitely come back to this hotel. 

• date of visit: 27 Apr - 29 Apr & 30 Apr - 3 May 2021
• location: Borneo Royale Hotel, Tawau, Sabah
• room: Deluxe Room
• decor: cosy, simple, clean
• cleanliness of the room: 9 out of 10.
• hotel service: staff were friendly and helpful. However, need to improve on a few things i.e. no teaspoon, only 1 dustbin in the room
• cafe service: food was acceptable although not so much choice due to MCO and fasting month.
• food: 8 out of 10. Teh tarik was superb although pricey!
• pool: NA maybe i was not paying attention.
• lift: small but it is okay for a 3 star hotel.

Note: we tried the SPA, errmmm we would give 5 out of 10. i was not happy because the masseuse who was massaging my husband was wearing a very short denim skirt. nasib baik i took couple room. it is so unappropriate!
