The infinity pool overlooking Sutera Avenue is simply stunning and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Kota Kinabalu.

Marimari Marina Service Condo

Staying at Marimari Marina Service Condo in Kota Kinabalu was an absolute highlight of our trip. Located right across from the airport, it’s incredibly convenient—just a 10 MYR ride from the terminal, and no need to worry about long waits or complicated transfers. Though there’s no front desk, the host is super responsive through the platform, and when we arrived, they were already waiting with a car to greet us and escort us straight to the unit. The staff was friendly, spoke fluent Mandarin, and made us feel welcome right away. The apartment itself is spacious—around 110 sqm with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two balconies. It’s clean, well-maintained, and feels like home. The kitchen is large and fully equipped with all essentials for cooking, and the utensils are more than enough for everyday meals. The view faces a main road but still offers partial sea views from the balcony—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. We stayed with a group of friends and family, and everyone loved the roomy layout and comfort. For the price, this is seriously great value. Would definitely book again.

Marina Travellers Suite Sky Karamunsing

Staying at Marina Travellers Suite Sky Karamunsing was an absolutely delightful experience, especially for families. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the beach and close to all the local attractions. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with modern amenities. What truly stood out was the stunning sea view from the rooftop terrace, perfect for watching sunsets over the water. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We appreciated the family-friendly layout—plenty of room for everyone, including kids who had their own cozy corner. Great value for money and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely planning to return.

Paradise Suite @ Asia City

Staying at Paradise Suite @ Asia City was an absolute delight! The location is incredibly convenient—right next to Le Meridian Hotel, with a vibrant night market just a short walk away. There are plenty of shops nearby offering everything from food and massage services to laundry, making daily needs super easy to handle. The room itself was clean, well-maintained, and spacious—perfect for families or groups of friends. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. We appreciated the daily housekeeping service, including fresh toilet paper and cleaning throughout our three-night stay—really thoughtful. The only minor downside is that parking requires purchasing coupons from a 7-Eleven, and there are occasional traffic fines in the area, so keep an eye on it. Overall, this place offers excellent value and a comfortable, stress-free experience. Highly recommend for travelers looking for convenience, cleanliness, and a home-like atmosphere.

Polaris Suite

The location is excellent—just a 1-minute walk to Gaya Street, making it super convenient for dining and exploring. The apartment was clean and well-maintained, which added to the positive experience. However, nighttime noise was quite noticeable, so if you're a light sleeper or sensitive to sound, it might be challenging to get a good night’s rest. I booked a room with two queen beds, expecting it to accommodate up to eight guests, but only three queen-sized beds were actually provided. After contacting the hotel, they confirmed the discrepancy was likely due to a system error on the booking platform. They offered to arrange a sofa bed, but by then it was already late, so my sister ended up sleeping on the couch. Despite this minor issue, the staff were very helpful and accommodating. Overall, I’m still happy with the stay—great value for money and a solid choice for travelers looking for convenience and comfort in Kota Kinabalu.

Sunset Seaview Vacation Condos @ Imago Shopping Mall

Staying at Sunset Seaview Vacation Condos was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—right above Imago Shopping Mall, so everything you need is just steps away. From dining and shopping to entertainment, it’s all within easy reach. The apartment itself was clean, well-maintained, and had a lovely sea view that made every moment feel special, especially during sunset. The convenience of being in the heart of the city without sacrificing comfort or privacy is hard to beat. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu. It’s a perfect blend of relaxation and accessibility—truly a standout choice.

Signel Poshtel, the Rare Gem of North Borneo

This place is an absolute gem! Even though the room is a bit compact, it's thoughtfully designed and feels cozy rather than cramped. The highlight? Having Netflix access right in the room—perfect for unwinding with my favorite shows after a long day of exploring Kota Kinabalu. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound insulation too; no noisy neighbors or hallway echoes to disturb the peace. What really stood out was how respectful and considerate all the guests were—everyone maintained a quiet, clean, and friendly atmosphere. It felt safe and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I stayed once and was already planning my return trip. If you're looking for a unique, well-kept, and affordable stay in North Borneo, this is definitely one to book. 10/10 would recommend!

Hush Inn @ Itcc Manhattan Suites

Had a fantastic stay at Hush Inn @ Itcc Manhattan Suites! The room was spotless, well-maintained, and had a cozy, homey feel that made us feel right at home. Everything was in excellent condition—beds comfortable, bathroom clean, and the AC worked perfectly. Best of all, it’s just a short walk to the mall, so grabbing groceries, snacks, or dining out was super convenient. The location is ideal for exploring the city without needing to rely on transport. Great value for money and highly recommended if you're looking for a quiet, clean, and comfortable base in Kota Kinabalu.

Century Hotel Inanam

Stayed at Century Hotel Inanam and had a fantastic experience overall. The location is super convenient—just a short walk to the city center and surrounded by great dining options. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and staff are friendly and helpful throughout. My room was spacious, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. I especially appreciated the little touches, like chilled water in the mini-fridge upon arrival—perfect for a refreshing drink right after check-in. Everything was just as expected, if not better. Great value for money and highly recommended. Definitely planning to stay here again on my next trip to Kota Kinabalu.

Marina Travellers Suite at Riverson Soho

Staying at Marina Travellers Suite at Riverson Soho in Kota Kinabalu was a solid experience overall. The location is incredibly convenient—right next to a shopping mall with plenty of dining options nearby, making it easy to grab a bite or do some casual browsing without having to travel far. The neighborhood feels lively and well-connected, which adds to the charm. That said, one thing worth noting is that basic toiletries like towels, toothbrushes, and soap aren’t provided in the room. You’ll need to bring your own or pick them up locally, which might be an inconvenience if you’re traveling light. Still, the room itself is clean, spacious, and well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a budget-friendly stay with great access to local amenities, this place delivers on value. Just come prepared for the essentials.

Toojou Kota Kinabalu

Staying at Toojou Kota Kinabalu was a fantastic experience overall. The hostel is clean, spacious, and well-maintained with a generous shared lounge area perfect for relaxing after a day out. Located right on Jalan Gaya, it's incredibly convenient—just steps away from restaurants, local shops, and markets. Getting around town is easy, whether by taxi or public transport. For sunset views, a short ride to the public beach does the trick, and walking north leads you straight to the Shangri-La area—quiet, peaceful, and ideal for unwinding. If you're into nature, I highly recommend the Weston mangrove tour. I booked the Adventure package (available via Taobao), and it was absolutely worth it. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, the food served during the trip was delicious, and the wildlife spotting—especially monkeys in the mangroves—was unforgettable. The one downside? It’s a 2.5-hour one-way journey, but honestly, the scenery and experience make every minute worthwhile. This place offers great value and a genuine local vibe—definitely coming back.

Faloe Hostel

This is hands down the most beautiful hostel I've ever stayed at, and it offers incredible value for money. The place is spotless—every corner is clean and well-maintained. The interior design is stylish and inviting, with a cozy, homely vibe that makes you feel right at home. Facilities are top-notch: laundry machines, drinking water, tea and coffee supplies, a fully equipped kitchen, board games, books, hairdryers, irons, and even quality toiletries—basically, everything you could possibly need. But what truly sets Faloe apart is the team. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and always going the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. They genuinely care about guests’ experiences. I had such an amazing time here—so much so that I stayed for two nights and didn’t want to leave. Thank you for the unforgettable memories!
