Hyatt Regency Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu City Center Kota Kinabalu|0.32km from Pasar Besar Kota Kinabalu
We stayed two nights on 17 & 18 March'24. Booked a seaview room. Room is big though not new. It is still very comfortable. Location is good.. walk pass two buildings. Will reach Suria shoppjng mall. Just cross one traffic junction.. ***a street with good food. But we had bad experience with check out on 19 March at 11.25am. There was only one malay lady recep. No other staff in sight. I cannot believe it...this one receip is helping with ang moh with general queries. I had to interrupt because i need to reach airport within 2 hours ahead of departure time. This ang moh very rude not happy that i took abit of the recep's time. I did say sorry n excuse us. Just to drop my room key to check out. First time i met such ungentleman behaviour.

The Le Meridien KK a beautiful and very comfortable place to stay for a relaxing vacation. The location is just perfect, right at the city centre, facing the sea. Beautiful sunset view!! There are many places to eat within walking distance and the big malls are just 10mins away by Grab. The staff were very polite and always so helpful with suggestions of places to eat and shop. Great place to stay in KK!

Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu

Overall our 2-night stay at Hyatt Centric KK was comfy n relaxing. The lobby n top floor lounge ambience is excellent~feeling of calmness. Rooms are spacious n clean with beautiful sunset seaview. We especially like the bathroom with sitting bench~ a considerate design for guests who prefer to sit n shower. Restaurant staff were very well-mannered n helpful. The hotel is well located just opposite the Sabah Suria shopping mall, so it's very convenient if you wish to dine out or shop around…

The staff is very nice & efficient. We noted it’s a smoking room after check-in, and the staff arranged another non-smoking room for us as requested upon booking. The swimming pool locates on the rooftop, with a rooftop bar & restaurant. Located near the city center, close to lots of local food & restaurants.

Kota Kinabalu City Center Kota Kinabalu|0.06km from Pasar Besar Kota Kinabalu
Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Not to mention the great location close to night market and all convenient things like pharmacies, the mall, etc. Right on the waterfront so you get a pretty nice view from the Infinity pool, proper modern gym, and amenities. There is an organic coffee place in the bottom, which is fantastic. Very good value for money of all the places I’ve stayed on my six week trip probably one of the top in terms of overall attention to detail and positive attitude all around.

Horizon Hotel

Kota Kinabalu City Center Kota Kinabalu|0.27km from Pasar Besar Kota Kinabalu
When i checked in at the conter, there's a water fell down from the ceiling. I believe it was from the unmaintained aircond. I was shocked because my first impression was a bit down already. They should fix problem like that immediately since it affect their costumer. It was an overall pleasant stay. The location is 5/5 in the center of the city. Everything is in walking distance. You can hop in to any local coffee shop within the area, or local business area such as the popular Filipino's market and ***a Street weekend market. Breakfast was okay, worth to pay. There's a variety choice of foods and the changed the main menu everyday too! It was tasty. But drinks, there's lack of choice especially for kids whom loves choc drinks. I hope they can serve milo or hot choc next time. The room cleanlines was okay. The room that they gave was the old not renovated one, facing city area. There's a smell came from the toilet which it was quite disturbing. I don't know what caused the smell, but the room smell a bit like old furniture as well. Will i stay again next time? Yeah, maybe.
Pantai Inn Kota Kinabalu

Pantai Inn Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu City Center Kota Kinabalu|0.32km from Pasar Besar Kota Kinabalu
Stayed in this Inn for one night. The inn is clean and the location is superb! Walking distance to shopping mall and located in Gaya Street where all the famous eateries locate. You are spoil with choice. Pro -Room is ok size, clean and toilet seem newly renovated. Value for money! Con - aircon was Abit noisy (but we are too tired to be bothered after our wonderful dive trip) Room layout for toilet and bed is a bit weird. There is no proper ”space” for toilet, the sink is actually can said locate in the room itself. In term of privacy, the toilet layout not really suitable for sharing room if you are on business trip with someone. We are traveling in the midst of Covid19 (Sabah zero case and lockdown is not started), was disappointed that the government still collect RM10 tax where the hotel business is already seem bad with less tourist. Not very supportive to the Hotel business I felt. Overall, good hotel for family or close friend.

Great location but lack of parking space. The room that I got unfortunately not clean and have army of ants. The shower head is broken so the water is splashing everywhere. The bathroom door can’t be locked cause got no door knob. You get what you paid for.

Kota Kinabalu City Center
After comparing several sea view apartments in the city center, I chose their romantic sunset sea view apartment. The main reason is that the arrival time of the flight was already midnight, so I arranged an airport pick-up with the landlord, which saved us the trouble of how to drive to the apartment and check in. The host, CK, helped us with all the check-in procedures in advance, and took us directly to the door of the apartment after picking us up from the airport. The next morning, I was woken up by the lively sound of the fishing pier. When I opened the curtains, the large glass balcony faced the pier, and I could see the blue sea while lying on the bed! Facing the setting sun in the evening, it’s like lying on the bed and blowing the air-conditioning to enjoy the top ten golden sunsets in the world! The location of the apartment is very convenient. You can meet all your travel needs within a five-minute walk, especially the must-eat Internet celebrity food, and five minutes to the Fisherman's Wharf Bar Street. It's a pity that we only arranged to stay for one night this time, and we must come again next time!

The location of the hotel is very convenient for travel. It is next to the Kota Kinabalu Central Market, the handicraft market and the night market. It is a 10-minute walk to Gaya Street and a 20-minute walk to the Jeston Pier. The room facilities are a bit old but clean and tidy. The boss is very nice and helped us to get the Grab car to the airport.

Super beautiful sea view apartment, right outside the balcony is the pier, with direct sea views from 3 windows! ! ! A great place for sunrise and sunset. The apartment has all the appliances. It’s a pity that we don’t have that many holidays. Otherwise, I really want to stay for a while. There is a washing machine, which is very suitable for those who want to go snorkeling and play in the water. The landlord is very nice and gave it to me. There are a lot of food and drinks, so happy😁. It is also very close to the vegetable market and ***a Street. I used to take a taxi when I went out, but later I found that I can walk back directly from Jesston Pier. I caught up with the ***a Street night market on the way😁 , it’s so good. It is recommended for 1 to 2 people to stay. You can stay longer ~
