Lovely hotel in perfect location
The Jesselton is in Gaya Street in the heart of KK. It is the perfect location for exploring the city, with everything within walking distance. The hotel is probably the oldest in KK, but the rooms are comfortable and fairly modern. Everything in the hotel is of high quality, and well maintained. The Jesselton harks back to more elegant times . There is no ding room, but there is an endless selection of restaurants close by. What was the restaurant is now a rather good sushi restaurant. The lack of a swimming pool wasn't a problem for us as we only stayed a few days.

This hotel is one of those old fashioned hotel's It is small but central. Very polite receptionists and room boy.all helpful and speak excellent English. If you require all the modern convenient appliances and sky bars and restaurants. Do not book this hotel if you just want a nice room and old fashioned civility this is the place for you
