I tried the cafe and not the rooms.
Cappuccino was served very hot, which I like, but barely any foam as it should be.
The sandwich was supposed to be with beef bacon, but it seems more like a slice of chicken ham instead. Yet, it is edible.
Spent 3 nights there during a recent trip. Rooms are cozy and rates are very reasonable. Decent food. The place is within walking distance to the pier and there are many restaurants around. Highly recommended.
The room is quite good. It's clean, has hot water, AC and great WiFi. However, the water pump is super noisy every time someone in the hotel showers... enough to wake you up. So don't plan on sleeping past 6:00-6:30.
The breakfast is what brings the score down. It was awful... and made a few hours before served (seemingly delivered from elsewhere, as it was dropped on my plate in a tied up plastic bag!?). It was dry and a luke warm chicken wing with rice. The dish tasted of nothing, absolutely nothing! I took only one bite and didn't dare touch the room temperature chicken. The coffee matched the food, by being completely undrinkable, as it was super weak. The staff did nothing to help the situation when I told them. One would think in a café, coffee can be easily remade and my food easily replaced, but they were not interested at all. It wasn't a language barrier, as one of the ladies translated for the two others. Just lazy and more interested in chatting together and checking their cellphones.
New found in Semporna town next to guardian. The chicken wings tasted superb with their secret recipe. Prices are reasonable with air conditioned and nice decor interior. It is a hotel upstairs and they provide the nice breakfast to the hotel guests also 🤤🤤🤤🤤

One of the better guesthouses with cafe to stay in Semporna. It is new, clean, strong Wi-Fi, strong aircon, the staff was attentive and warm. The location is great - not a noisy area, and there's seafood eating place across.
Your booking comes with a breakfast and a hot brewed coffee. The one thing I liked about my stay are the pillows.
Ryan was a great host!
I wish I have stayed longer....
After staying for one night at the upstairs inn and being pleasantly surprised, we came back several more times for the cheesecake, friendly atmosphere and the internet speed.
Nice chill oasis in the middle of Semporna

We had two smoothies and fried bananas with cheese, which were good. However, they didn't have more than half of the food on their menu (at 2pm!) and when I went to pay the bill, they told me the fried bananas were more expensive than the price mentioned on all of the menus. They obviously don't care about customer satisfaction. I would not go there again.
Pros
- confortable and clean room
- polite and attentive staff
- cafe food was decent for taste and the price
Cons
- difficult to find parking in the area
