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 Hilton Kota Kinabalu was an absolutely seamless experience from start to finish. Located right in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, the hotel offers incredible convenience—just a 15-minute drive from the international airport, with shopping malls, restaurants, and banks all within easy reach. Whether you're here for business or a short getaway, getting around town is effortless. The room itself blends Hilton’s signature modern business aesthetic with thoughtful space planning. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the soundproofing worked well, and the cleanliness level remained consistently high throughout our stay—perfect for unwinding after a long day. Breakfast was diverse and well-executed, offering a great mix of local and international flavors, served efficiently with friendly staff. The Executive Lounge stood out as a quiet, elegant retreat—ideal for work meetings or just relaxing with a drink in the evening. The on-site fitness center and outdoor pool were both clean, well-maintained, and offered a peaceful escape with views of the city skyline. Staff across the board were professional, responsive, and spoke clear English, making communication smooth and stress-free. This hotel truly delivers on consistency, comfort, and service quality—making it a top-tier choice for business travelers, corporate guests, or anyone who values reliability and a polished stay.

Staying at Hyatt Regency Kinabalu was an absolute delight from start to finish. The facilities are top-notch—everything from the infinity pool to the well-equipped fitness center is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Housekeeping is outstanding; every day, rooms are meticulously cleaned with attention to detail, leaving no corner untouched. The location is unbeatable—right on the beach, with a scenic overlook just steps from your door. There’s even a dock nearby for island excursions, and it’s only a 10-minute walk to the shopping mall, making dining and errands super convenient. What truly stood out was the service—staff are warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. Whether I needed extra towels or help arranging activities, everything was handled quickly and with a smile. It felt less like a hotel stay and more like being welcomed into a home. This place offers incredible value and unforgettable views. I’ll definitely be returning.
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.

Aston Boutec Hotel Lintas Plaza
My stay at Aston Boutec Hotel Lintas Plaza in Kota Kinabalu was disappointing overall. The room was extremely small—barely enough space to unpack luggage, and the layout felt cramped and inefficient. Cleaning standards were poor; I noticed stains on the sheets and hair clogging the shower drain, which raised concerns about hygiene. The location isn’t ideal either—surrounded by quiet streets with limited dining or shopping options nearby. Getting to the city center required multiple transfers and a long commute, making it inconvenient for travelers. Communication with staff was frustrating too—responses were slow, unclear, and often repetitive. Overall, the value for money didn’t justify the experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to others.
Stanton Hotel
Absolutely recommend this hotel! The interior design is stylish and elegant, creating a really welcoming atmosphere. The room was spotless, with a super comfortable bed that made it easy to unwind after a long day. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the air conditioning in the hallway worked—consistently cool without being too cold. There are a few parking spots available outside, but they go quickly, so arrive early if you're driving. We stayed two nights and couldn’t be happier. The location, cleanliness, and overall comfort make this a top choice for anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu. Would definitely book again.
Stanton Gaya Hotel
Staying at Stanton Gaya Hotel was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is super convenient—just a short ride from the airport and nestled right on Jalan Gaya, one of Kota Kinabalu’s most vibrant streets. My room had a great view of the iconic street mural, which made for some amazing photos and added a real local charm to the stay. On the ground floor, there’s a cozy char kway teow shop that serves delicious, authentic Malaysian food—perfect for breakfast or a quick bite. Everything else you’d need, from hawker stalls to casual dining spots, is just a short walk away. Plus, it’s only a 10-minute stroll to the pier, making day trips easy. The front desk staff are friendly and speak basic Chinese, which made check-in smooth and reassuring. They also offer free luggage storage, a big plus for early arrivals or late departures. Clean rooms, great value, and unbeatable convenience—this hotel ticks all the boxes. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu.
The Atelier Boutique Hotel
The Atelier Boutique Hotel is incredibly convenient, just a short distance from the airport—perfect for early morning flights or late-night arrivals. If you're having trouble locating it, look for the elevator between Hameed Maju Restaurant and Muamalat Bank; that’s your cue to head in. The room was clean and comfortable, with a private bathroom and more space than the Bakery Room, though I personally still prefer the cozy charm of the Bakery Room. Despite that, the overall experience was excellent—great location, thoughtful design, and top-notch service. It’s definitely a standout choice if you’re visiting Kota Kinabalu, and I’d happily stay here again.
Hotel Gaia 95
The service here was absolutely outstanding—the front desk staff were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to assist with everything. From recommendations for local restaurants to helpful tips on exploring the area, they made our stay so much more enjoyable. The location is fantastic too—right in the heart of town with easy access to great food, shopping, and attractions. I’ve stayed at many hotels in Kota Kinabalu, but this one stands out for its warm hospitality and convenience. I’ll definitely be booking again next time I visit. Thank you, Hotel Gaia 95, for such a memorable experience!
Sunset Seaview Vacation Condos @ Infinity Avenue
Staying at Sunset Seaview Vacation Condos @ Infinity Avenue was an absolute delight. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk to IMAGO Shopping Mall, and the ground floor is packed with great dining options, so you can grab a meal without even stepping outside. The sea views from the rooms are stunning, especially at sunset. Everything was clean, modern, and well-maintained, making it a perfect base for exploring Kota Kinabalu. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of coastal charm.
Hotel Five 2
This was our first stay at Hotel Five 2, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. We arrived early at 8:00 AM, and the front desk staff were incredibly welcoming—they happily stored our luggage without any hassle. During checkout, a kind staff member even offered us complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby, which added such a warm, personal touch. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was simple but spotlessly clean, and the overall atmosphere felt cozy and well-maintained. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—just a 5-minute walk to Centre Point, making it super easy to explore the city on foot. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel delivers great value and genuine hospitality. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to fellow travelers.
