Cafe/Restaurant

Reviewed By John K

Not so many choice, dimmed light, breakfast only for 1 guest, if two they will charge MYR10. So greedy, hotel room charges also the same, they will charge extra for change type of bed(twin to king size), the funniest experience was the extra charge for half boiled eggs during breakfast, it seems to be not in one package breakfast, many hidden charges, so uncomfortable, if you want to book a room the best way is via " online" booking, walk in is not advisable and more expensive choice, rooms was standard. But there is many hotel rooms in Tawau which is more cheaper & comfortable, always check for hidden charges, Tawau Hotels practicing that style of business.

Friendly staff, great breakfast, but rooms dirty

Reviewed By travels_ahoy

Stayed one night at the Borneo Royale Hotel whilst passing through Tawau. The location isn't as good as we thought it would be from GoogleMaps (not many restaurants etc close by) but staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was great - lots of variety, and all tasted good. However...our room was very shabby and dirty. The bedding and towels were clean thankfully, but the walls had marks all over them, and the carpet looked filthy. It was fine for the price paid, but in future I think I'd rather pay a bit more and get somewhere clean.

One of the worst resorts i had ever been to..

Reviewed By chokin85

Poor services, facilities are in awful condition and the worst of all, everything was so run-down and the staffs were totally disinterested in what they were doing !! Resorts Restaurant were lacking of food, they charged SST on the bills but never provide receipt of any form, WIFI is not available and most telecommunications service are unavailable too, absolutely shocking to say the least !! Staffs were ignorant except the receptionist, would not even consider going back to the place even if it's for free, let alone paying for it.
