Pan Borneo Hotel Kota Kinabalu

10/10 Excellent
"Buffet breakfast disappointing (no eggs!) but lunch and dinner ala carte menu are good and reasonably priced. There are few restaurants within walking distance so it is good that hotel restaurant is okay. Major frustration with room safe. It was rusted and unused. They replaced it but the second one would not work (electronics were bad). I gave up. "
