Zaharah Hotel Apartment is a new Muslim Chinese operated hotel/serviced apartments in Api-Api Center in Kota Kinabalu. It's located at the same block and area as Paramount Service Hotel and Apartments - it seems that the management has rented out some units to be rebranded as Zaharah Hotel Apartment. Paramount Service Hotel and Apartments (RM 68++) is all out of their lower end rooms, leaving only the RM 238++ 3-bedroom apartment suites, so we decided to look for alternative accommodations and chanced across this Zaharah Hotel Apartments advertisement for RM 75 nett.

We had just gotten back from Mt. Kinabalu, and being extremally exhausted, we just took the room and booked it for two nights (RM 150 nett). It's a very nice deal, considering the excellent service and the comfortable beds (with clean towels and a new bar of soap on each bed).

The toilets are relatively clean and come with an embedded heated water shower unit. It looks rather like Paramount Hotel and Service Apartments except that Zaharah Hotel Apartments has...

...a mysterious room which serves no practical or imaginable purpose.

Zaharah Hotel Apartments is also equipped with a TV and a vanity mirror. There is also air conditioning and blinds that leads out...

...to a balcony. Nice!

There is also a full fledged kitchen with a fridge, oven/stove top combo and a dish washing area.

There were also new cooking utensils like pots and so forth and being so tired, we just cooked dinner in the hotel apartment facilities and hit the sack.
