Svok Hotel

Everything ok, but room abit small

Made a booking at the hotel due to some last minute change our itinerary. Location: Located in Jalan Kubota a short drive from Tawau town, the hotel occupies a three storey shop unit and had been open for the past 4 years. Easily accessible by own transport. Parking is free (as of the writing of the review) and aplenty. Numerous food choices are available within walking distance. Reception: Easy and relatively quick. Given a room on the first floor. Entry to the floor and room is through a card access for added security. However there is no lifts available. Room: Booked a triple room which consist of a queen sized and a super single bed. Room size is rather small especially if you have big luggages. The deco is very chic and modern. Room was very well kept and cosy. There was complimentary drinking water provided. However there is no fridge. Coffee and tea making facilities are available. Mattress was just nice for us and linen was crisp and clean. All the lighting and air con was functioning. There were ample pillows and extra pillows were available in the room itself, something rarely seen in small boutique hotels. However, sound insulation was rather poor as our sleep was constantly disturbed by the chatter and movements of other guest along the corridor. Having a room just off the main entrance compounded its effect. The toilet was one of the prettiest I have seen in a small boutique hotel. Toilet size is good with separated shower and wc area. It was also sparkling clean! Water pressure was good and had continuous hot water. All the basic toilet amenities were available. Facilities: There is no pool or gym. Internet service was available and password protected. Speed was decent. There is a small convenience shop within the hotel premises. Food: Was informed on check in that a complimentary breakfast was provided from 7am till 1030am which was a welcome surprise. Although it consist of just some simple bread and eggs, biscuits plus coffee and tea it was a good gesture from the hotel management. Overall, a surprisingly nice experience overall. Definite a good place to consider for a short stay.
