The sea view was so good, interior of the room was also great. Modern and cozy. It was better than the picture that website gives. Also they have JACUZZI HINOKI! We used it every night, after finishing the schedule for the day. I think horizon hotel should update the picture of the rooms. I didn't expect the room to be THIS nice. Location is perfect, staff are also friendly. The breakfast soup was a bit...😅, but the fried rice was excellent. We went every day, no matter how tired we were, to have fried rice for breakfast. Gym and pool are also good. There is also a separate shallow pool for children.

The room is big enough, and it overlooks the buildings and some landmarks of the city. The tv, AC are all functioning well, and the breakfast is sufficient although it is not a big selection and just the right amount for the cost of the Oceania hotel accommodation.

The Receptionists were welcoming, always eager to help. They were available always. There is a big elevator that can take more than 10 people at a time. The hotel is located in town. It's 30 minutes walk from the center where most expensive hotels are located such as Grand Magherita, Riverside majestic and Sheraton hotels. If you use Grab, you'll pay 5 Ringgit form Dehome Boutique hotel to Grand Magherita hotel. I walked from Dehome Boutique hotel to the Waterfront. It took me 42 minutes. The waterfront is 12 minutes from Magherita Riverside majestic Hotel. From Dehome Boutique hotel to the Borneo Convention center will take you 18 Ringgit by Grab and 30 Ringgit by Taxi. The people are friendly and food is readily available and affordable. I ate at Dehome Boutique hotel. With 18 Ringgit you LL have a fulfilling meal that is so tasty. Room service is free too.

One of the standout features of the property was the spacious room, which provided ample space to move around. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep, and the view of the town from my room was quite nice. The room's shower was impressive, providing a refreshing start to the day, and the lighting was well-designed, creating a pleasant ambiance.
