    Fantastic breakfast

    rating20 Apr 2026

    I stay I stayed at Sixty3 Hotel and had breakfast at Jesselton Hotel, which is just a 3-minute walk away.Thanks to Ms. Betty for recommending the breakfast menu — the food was wonderful and definitely worth trying. The breakfast service staff were friendly, attentive, and responsible, which made the experience even more enjoyable.However, the lobby area could be improved as it was not air-conditioned, which made it a bit uncomfortable.Overall, great food and good service. Marketing Team, Marketing at The Jesselton Hotel, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for staying at The Jesselton Hotel and for sharing your experience with us.We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the breakfast at The Jesselton Hotel, it’s just a short walk away, and we’re glad it was worth it!

    Great location but poor organisation and communication

    rating30 Sept 2025

    This hotel is in a great location and our room was large and comfortable with aircon. The only downsides were a lack of organisation from the reception staff. The best example of this is that when we checked in late at night we were asked to select our breakfast for the following morning and what time we would want it. The selection wasn't great, but we ordered something for 9am. At 8am the following morning we were woken up by reception calling us asking why had not come for breakfast at 7am! There were also issues with our check out where one member of staff allowed us to pay for late check out, then said we couldn't have a late check out and returned the money, but then agreed that we could have an extra 30mins and check out at 12:30. Unfortunately this information was not shared and we were asked why we were not checking out at midday. Marketing Team, Marketing at The Jesselton Hotel, responded to this review Dear Grad,Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting our location and room comfort, we’re glad you enjoyed those aspects of your stay.We sincerely apologize for the confusion you experienced, particularly regarding the breakfast arrangement and late check-out. This clearly reflects a lapse in our internal communication, which is not the standard we strive to maintain. We understand how frustrating and disruptive this must have been.Your comments have been shared with our team, and we are taking steps to improve coordination and ensure clearer communication moving forward.We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much smoother experience in the future at The Jesselton Hotel.

    Needs improvement

    rating14 Jul 2024

    Long past it's glory days, there are improvements going on but that is no excuse for some poor house keeping nothing too serious, just dusty shelves, things left in the fridge and the like but gives a poor impression. On a positive note, the staff we dealt with were helpful and it's in a good location.

We appreciate your constructive comments and are sorry to hear about the inconveniences you experienced. Please rest assured that we take your concerns seriously and are actively working on improving our housekeeping standards to ensure a more pristine environment for our guests.We are delighted that you found our staff to be helpful and enjoyed our convenient location. Your kind words motivate us to continue delivering exceptional service.Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon and provide you with an improved experience that exceeds your expectations.Warm regards,Marketing Team
