Inn86 – A Cozy Retreat in the Heart of Bintulu, Malaysia
The first time I arrived in Bintulu, I was greeted by the scent of the South China Sea carried in the breeze, mingling with the aroma of fresh satay from the roadside stalls. It was a town that felt alive yet unhurried, with fishermen casting nets at dawn and modern city lights twinkling by night. Tucked away in this charming mix of tradition and progress, I discovered Inn86 — a modest yet welcoming stay that immediately felt like a traveler’s sanctuary. Walking into the lobby, I was met with warmth that felt less like a hotel check-in and more like coming home after a long journey. It wasn’t luxury that won me over, but its heartfelt simplicity and the promise of restful nights before new adventures in Bintulu.
