Definitely value for money. Good location with walking distance to Imago shopping mall, Filipino market and famous restaurants nearby. Nice sea view from the room. Cleanliness of the room also above expectation. Breakfast was average but acceptable.

This Greenvine Hotel truly exceeded my expectations! The hygiene was impeccable; the room was spotless, with attention paid even to the smallest details.
The stylish design of the environment was instantly relaxing upon entry, with greenery and artistic decorations everywhere – perfect for photos.
Both the front desk and room service were incredibly thoughtful and responsive, always quick to help. The room facilities were brand new, the bedding was comfortable, making for a very reassuring stay.
As a design hotel under Marriott Bonvoy, both the hardware and service were absolutely on point. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates quality!
They helped with luggage right upon arrival, very efficient.

The room was quite clean. It's within walking distance to Gaya Street, Suria Sabah, and other places, as it's located in the city center. Kota Kinabalu is small, so every taxi ride seems to pass by the hotel, and it's very close to the Hilton. We checked in around midnight on the 17th, and the front desk lady was incredibly gentle and kind, providing very professional and warm service. The hotel facilities are a bit old, and the lobby had a peculiar smell, like durian or something similar, which wasn't very pleasant. However, the rooms facing the mountain were very quiet, and I slept really well. Overall, it's worth recommending, and I hope they can provide bottled water in the future.
I booked this hotel for one night. The location is not very convenient as there aren’t many food options nearby, but it is quite close to the airport. Due to our flight timing, we arrived at the hotel earlier than usual. We understood the official check-in time, so we politely asked if there was any chance of checking in earlier. If not, we were willing to wait, we only hoped they could let us know once a room became available.
There were two counters. We were initially at the second counter (one next away from the 1st counter), but the receptionist asked my husband to move to the first one. No issue, we moved over as instructed.
During the check-in process, the male receptionist repeatedly asked whether I booked online. I answered yes, yet he asked the same question again. Since he already had my IC in his hand, I expected he could see the booking details in the system. I honestly didn’t understand why he kept repeating the same question.
I then politely asked if we could get a room earlier should there be any available. Instead of responding in a friendly or helpful manner, he kept repeating, “Our check-in time is 2pm,” more than three times over our check-in process. We clearly understood the check-in time, but his tone and attitude were not friendly at all. A simple “If we have a room available, we’ll try to arrange it for you” would have been enough, but instead he just repeated the same answer without any consideration.
On top of that, both receptionists, the male and the female were chatting and laughing among themselves at the counter in front of guests, which felt quite unprofessional.
Still, we were thankful that we eventually managed to get our room at 12:35pm.
Overall, the experience was disappointing and lacked basic hospitality. I’ve been travelling and staying in different hotels, and I’ve never encountered service this unfriendly before.

Worth the price with a strategic location
The hotel offers good value for money and is located in a very strategic city-center area, making it easy to get around, with shops and restaurants nearby.
The staff are friendly and helpful, providing good service throughout the stay.
The room is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, the stay was pleasant. However, there is room for improvement in terms of in-room utensils. It would be better if basic items such as spoons and dishwashing liquid were provided for added convenience.
Overall, a satisfying stay and would recommend it.

From my window on the 10th floor, I had an amazing view of the entire Kota Kinabalu bay and city. I was lucky enough to catch the night view of Gaya Street and even the first sunset in KK. It's rare to find such high-rise buildings here. I'm not sure if the in-wall air conditioning has been cleaned. Basic amenities are provided. I'd rate the stay itself a 3-star, the view a 4-star, and the TV a 5-star – watching 'Swallowed Star' was absolutely thrilling!

Facilities: Pretty good for a city hotel, very convenient for dining and shopping.
Hygiene: The hygiene was excellent on the first day, but I was surprised that over a three-day stay, the room was only cleaned once. I had to request water myself, but they provided it promptly when asked. Also, the in-room safe had no battery and couldn't be used. I informed the hotel on the first day, but it was still broken when I left, so I had to carry my passport with me every day.
Environment: The environment is quite nice, with its own swimming pool and clean towels available.
Service: The staff were very friendly, always smiling and greeting guests. However, despite informing the front desk about the safe issue and being told it was 'OK,' no one ever came to fix it.

Exceeded expectations in every aspect. Second time and we had 4 nights of fabulous stay in a seaview (corner) room on 20th floor. Room was spacious and comfy, so much so that I just wanted to stay in 😄 Location is good, easy access to Gaya Street, Signal Hill, Todak Waterfront, Suria Sabah Mall and all the good food nearby. Hotel staff were friendly and professional and speaks multiple languages. Feedback and requests were promptly attended to. Kudos! Definitely my choice of hotel when in KK!
It is still pretty new, the room is okay, smart tv is a plus with Netflix and Youtube, room is clean enough compared to other places and we were staying there with car for the weekend, so far parking still can find dbkk parking, the private parking area is pricy. But so far all smooth check in and out, there is a 24 hour convenient store connected to lobby. Have not tried the swimming pool, but there is a cafe near it, not many food options but still okay to try the western food and chill.

Facilities: All amenities are available.
Cleanliness: Spotless and tidy.
Environment: Prime downtown location, with a street full of massage parlors downstairs. The bar street is a 5-minute walk, and Gaya Street is 15 minutes away.
Service: Warm and friendly.
My only complaint is the excessive noise! The sea view from the room is breathtaking, but the noise from the bar street across the way goes on until after 2 AM!
Great

Very Good
Great hotel and staff. The morning breakfast is the best. We loved it. The location is far from Gaya street though.
I particularly love the location, 15 mins' ride to airport and 10 mins' ride to the city centre. The area of the resort is large, next to the sea, with quite some water or other kids activities available. We didn't try the pools but look nice. Breakfast has a wide variety with something different each day. The hotel is a bit aged and torn. Cleanliness inside the room and common areas (carpets) should be better.
We stayed 2 nights and had a fantastic stay despite the bad weather on the first day. We received great services from the resort management team Mr Karl, Ms Siti, Mdm Lydia also from the restaurant and recreational team members. We look forward to be back again! Booked the family suite that is beautifully furnished and got a fantastic view of Mt Kinabalu from the room as well as variety of fishes swimming below us. Snorkelling and kayaking are complimentary for the entire day and was great way for us to explore the beautiful waters. On the last day, we unfortunately left our tablet in the room and we were notified immediately upon arrival at the jetty and the resort arranged it to be delivered to their jetty office within the same afternoon. Overall it was a great experience and the welcoming and departure greetings by the management team were certainly memorable and beyond our expectations!
i stay in the room with private bathroom, thus cannot speak for those who stay in the hut. This retreat is simple and a beautiful place to watch sunset. around 2H journey to tip of kudat. choices of food quite limited though but i enjoy my stay here nevertheless. special appreciation to the receptions on both check in day and check out day as they were both helpful and accomodating, hope this place would continue to flourish.

The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was suitable for a family and for those who prefer to relax. The view from our room was fascinating and breathtaking. Their food is super tasty. We only need 5 to 10 minutes to access food places and a trip package to Pasar Semporna. We will book this hotel again once we come back to Semporna.
Not as good as my expectations of 5 stars of shangri la hotel, but still in great value and services consider the price is much cheaper. I came with my family including 2 kids at 6 and 8, they love the game area and swimming pools with water slides. Because of 2 nights stay in the wet seasons in September. especially after 5pm, a tropical rainfall so that I didn't get any chance to see sunset in the beaches. The beaches are not really good condition of sand quality. I enjoyed the morning hiking trip to the nearby hills and also the walk in the beach. Many wildlife and calm of the days.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable island getaway Our stay at Sutera @ Mantanani was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and breathtaking views of crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural beauty of the island. Waking up to the sound of the sea was truly refreshing. The food was delicious, with a good variety, and we appreciated the care taken in every meal. What stood out the most was the staff friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The snorkeling experience was unforgettable, with vibrant marine life just steps away from the resort. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from city life and a chance to reconnect with nature, Sutera @ Mantanani is the perfect choice. We left with wonderful memories and would definitely love to return. Highly recommended! 🌊🌴
Overall a pleasant stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location made it easy to get around Semporna. A few small areas could be improved, but still a good experience and worth recommending.
I had a pleasant stay at Promenade Hotel. The location is very convenient right in the city center, close to shopping malls, waterfront attractions, and dining options. It’s a great base for exploring Kota Kinabalu. The lobby and common areas are spacious and welcoming. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained with all the basic amenities I needed. The sea view rooms are especially worth it for the sunset views over the waterfront. Breakfast offered a good variety of local and international options, though the restaurant can get quite busy during peak hours. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, and check-in/check-out was smooth. Overall, everything was good 😊😊😊
