The Magellan Sutera Resort
The Magellan Sutera Resort is an absolute gem in Kota Kinabalu. From the moment we arrived, everything felt premium and well thought out. The resort boasts a wide range of facilities—perfect for both relaxation and fun. The infinity pool is stunning, especially at sunset, and the on-site restaurants serve delicious, fresh meals with great variety. I especially loved the spa and the beachfront bar where I could unwind with a cocktail while watching the waves. There’s also a private dock, table tennis, and even a bowling alley—so many options if you don’t feel like leaving the property. Cleanliness was top-notch throughout; every corner was spotless, from the rooms to the public areas. The location is ideal—close to attractions but tucked away in a peaceful setting. What really stood out was the service: staff were genuinely attentive, friendly, and went the extra mile—some even reached out via messaging app to check in after check-in. It felt personal, not just transactional. If you’re looking for a relaxing, hassle-free getaway with excellent value, this resort is absolutely worth it.
Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu
Staying at Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu was an absolute delight, especially the Executive Lounge—definitely worth upgrading to if you can. The sunset views from the lounge are breathtaking, and sipping a drink there as the sun dips below the horizon is pure magic. The room itself was spacious and well-maintained, with clean lines and a nice modern vibe. However, I did notice a slight sewer odor in the bathroom—something that could be improved with better ventilation or maintenance. The bed was on the softer side, which didn’t suit my preference for firmer support. That said, the overall experience was excellent, the staff were attentive, and the location made exploring Kota Kinabalu super convenient. A truly memorable stay with only minor tweaks needed.

Staying at Ming Garden Hotel & Residences always feels like a treat. The room is spacious, spotlessly clean, and the bed is incredibly comfortable—perfect for unwinding after a busy week. The air conditioning keeps the room pleasantly cool, making it ideal for a relaxing weekend getaway. I’m already looking forward to coming back next week and hoping to book the same room again. Parking was a bit tight on Sunday, but since I was checking out that day, it wasn’t an issue. Overall, everything was excellent—from service to amenities. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu!
Holiday Inn Express Kota Kinabalu City Centre
My stay at Holiday Inn Express Kota Kinabalu City Centre was truly impressive. I stayed for several days and was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast selection—there were always new options each day, which showed real effort from the team. While some flavors weren’t quite to my taste, especially compared to what’s common in Chinese cuisine, it’s clear they’re putting thought into variety and quality. The housekeeping staff were friendly and attentive—especially one young gentleman who was a bit shy but always ready to help with a smile. One highlight was the hotel’s flexibility with check-out time; they happily granted me an extra hour due to my travel schedule, which made my departure stress-free. The only minor issue was the complimentary bottled water in the room—it had a faint chlorine aftertaste that made it hard to drink straight. That said, it worked fine when used for tea or coffee. Overall, this is a well-run, convenient, and value-for-money option in the heart of Kota Kinabalu. I’d definitely return.

The hotel is exceptionally clean and doesn’t carry any of the typical local odors that can sometimes be off-putting—definitely a big plus.

The view from the window was stunning, especially during sunset when the city lights began to sparkle. It’s also super convenient for getting to the airport via public transit. This stay exceeded my expectations, and if I ever return to Kota Kinabalu, I’d definitely book here again. Highly recommend this hotel for travelers who value cleanliness, location, and a great vibe.

The room itself is spacious and thoughtfully designed: a comfortable bedroom, a separate living area perfect for relaxing with a movie, and a fully equipped kitchenette that made preparing simple meals easy and enjoyable. The bathroom features a smart wet-dry separation, making it both practical and refreshing.

Sky Hotel
The price is really reasonable for what you get—over $200 per night for a two-room unit? That’s a solid deal. I’ll be honest, you do need to bring your own bedding set, so don’t expect luxury. But considering the rate, it’s totally acceptable. After landing in Kota Kinabalu, staying here for two nights felt just right—perfect for a budget-friendly stopover. The location is convenient, and getting around the city by public transit is easy. If you’re looking for something simple, clean, and affordable with a bit of comfort, this place works well. It won’t blow you away, but for the price, it’s a great value option.
Oceania Hotel
I was pleasantly surprised by how great this hotel turned out to be—right in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, with everything within walking distance. The location is perfect: short walk to the beach, local markets, restaurants, and attractions. The sea is incredibly blue, and sunset views are absolutely stunning. Security is solid—access requires a key card, which gives peace of mind. Staff are friendly and helpful, even with minimal English. Simple phrases like '1-10', 'bathroom', or 'how much' get the job done. Rooms are clean, well-maintained, and offer good value for money. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Sabah. A real gem!
The Klagan Hotel
Staying at The Klagan Hotel in Kota Kinabalu was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment I checked in, the staff made me feel welcome and well taken care of—friendly, efficient, and genuinely attentive. The front desk team handled everything smoothly and even took time to walk me through the hotel’s amenities. Throughout my stay, room service was prompt and reliable; any request was addressed quickly and with a smile. One time, I accidentally left something behind in the restaurant, and they noticed it right away, reached out to me immediately—it was such a thoughtful gesture. As for dining, breakfast was fantastic: a great mix of local and international options, fresh fruits, perfectly cooked eggs, and warm bread that smelled amazing. Dinner was equally impressive—well-prepared dishes with good presentation and flavor. Overall, the combination of excellent service, comfort, and tasty food makes this hotel stand out. It’s not just a place to sleep—it feels like home away from home. I’ll definitely be back.
C'Haya Hotel
I was genuinely impressed by how good this place turned out to be—especially during peak travel season, securing a room at this price with such a pleasant environment is rare. The front desk staff speaks fluent Chinese, making communication smooth and stress-free. The hotel itself feels clean, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout. It's just a 10-minute taxi ride to the city center, which makes exploring the area super convenient. The rooftop free pool is a real highlight—great views, perfect for relaxing under the sun or unwinding after a long day. The only minor downside is the slight airport noise at night, but wearing earplugs easily solves that. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and great value. Highly recommended!
