Covesign Suite, The Shore Kota Kinabalu City Centre
Staying at The Shore Kota Kinabalu City Centre was an absolute delight. The spacious two-bedroom unit offered plenty of room, perfect for families or a group of friends. Everything you’d need was included—fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, refrigerator—making it super convenient to prepare meals and keep things organized. Located right in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, it’s just steps away from local shops, restaurants, and attractions. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free, with friendly staff who made the experience even better. The best part? The view from the window—it opens up to stunning sea vistas, especially beautiful during sunrise and sunset. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a great location all in one, this place is a top choice. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Mercure Kota Kinabalu City Centre
Staying at Mercure Kota Kinabalu City Centre was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Gaya Street, Jesselton Jetty, and Suria Mall. There’s even a supermarket right downstairs, which made our stay incredibly convenient. The room was spotless, and the housekeeping team went above and beyond to keep everything tidy and fresh. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help—genuine hospitality that made us feel at home. We truly loved every moment of our stay. The only minor suggestion would be upgrading the gym facilities, as it’s functional but could use some modernization. Other than that, we have nothing but praise for this hotel. A perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and great service—highly recommended!
Kinabalu Daya Hotel
I was completely blown away by how perfect the location is—just a 10-minute walk to Pasar Philipin, the local wet market, grocery stores, and more. Everything you need is within reach without needing a ride. The amenities are well thought out, and every single staff member I interacted with went above and beyond. I arrived late at night, and the front desk agent (even though I didn’t catch her name) was incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful—she made me feel right at home. One thing that truly touched me: I accidentally left my wallet behind. Only after reaching the airport did I realize it was missing. I called the hotel immediately, and they confirmed they had kept it safe for me. I was so relieved and emotional—I couldn’t believe how thoughtful and responsible everyone was. From housekeeping to front desk, every team member showed genuine care and professionalism. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a memorable experience. I already know I’ll be back. Thank you all so much for your kindness and dedication. You’ve earned a loyal guest!
Homesuite' Home at Jesselton Quay
Staying at Homesuite' Home at Jesselton Quay was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from both Gaya Street and the waterfront, perfect for hopping on island tours without any hassle. The building has a Korean restaurant, convenience stores, a laundry facility, and even a charming cat mascot who runs the front desk—such a cute touch! Getting around is super easy too; taxis are always quick to arrive, whether you're heading to the airport or exploring the city. I actually misplaced my wallet once, and the staff returned it untouched—truly heartwarming and incredibly reassuring. This place offers comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu!
Dreamtel Kota Kinabalu
Dreamtel Kota Kinabalu is an excellent choice for travelers seeking comfort and convenience. The location is ideal—close to everything yet quiet enough to enjoy a peaceful stay. I arrived with a lot of luggage, but the spacious room made it easy to move around without feeling cramped. Compared to other hotels I’ve stayed at, this one stands out in terms of cleanliness, layout, and overall atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit, making check-in smooth and welcoming. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel delivers a great experience. I’d definitely choose Dreamtel again if I return to Kota Kinabalu—it’s truly a top pick for value and quality.
BER-Santai at Marina Court
Staying at Ber-Santai at Marina Court was a highlight of my trip to Kota Kinabalu. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Marina Court, just steps from the lively waterfront promenade and an array of excellent dining options. I loved how convenient it was to have a 24-hour mini-market and McDonald's within walking distance—perfect for late-night snacks or quick meals. The apartment itself was spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The balcony offered stunning sunset views that made every evening truly special. High-speed internet via Unifi and in-unit Wi-Fi kept me connected without any issues. The owner was exceptionally responsive and helpful—when our air conditioning broke, they replaced it promptly, which showed real dedication to guest comfort. The only downside was the swimming pool, which appeared neglected and unusable during our stay. Still, despite that, the combination of prime location, comfortable accommodation, great connectivity, breathtaking views, and outstanding hospitality made this a memorable experience. I’d definitely recommend this property—just be aware the pool might not be ready for use.
The Shore by Homesuite'
This stay was absolutely fantastic! The location is unbeatable—right next to a convenience store, making late-night snacks and essentials super convenient. Public transit access is just steps away, and everything in town is within easy reach. The staff were incredibly responsive—any request I had was handled promptly and with great care. The room itself was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The pool area is stunning—serene, beautifully designed, and perfect for relaxing under the tropical sun. One standout feature? The hot water—it’s consistently hot and the flow is strong, which is rare in this type of accommodation. Overall, this was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu. Will definitely be returning.
Jesselton Quay by Pinstay
Staying at Jesselton Quay by Pinstay in Kota Kinabalu was an absolute highlight of my trip! The hotel is incredibly close to Jesselton Wharf—just a short walk or quick ride away, making it super convenient for exploring the area. My room was fantastic, with a spacious layout and floor-to-ceiling windows that opened up to breathtaking ocean views. Every morning felt like waking up to a postcard. The 7th-floor outdoor pool was perfect for relaxing with a drink while watching the sea breeze, and the 32nd-floor rooftop terrace offered panoramic views of the city and coastline—ideal for sunset photos. There’s also a well-equipped fitness center on-site, which I used daily. But what truly made this stay exceptional was the service from SEHA at reception. She reached out before arrival to guide me through check-in details, answered every question promptly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Her professionalism and warmth stood out throughout our stay. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a memorable experience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu!

The room was clean, modern, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed that ensured a great night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and efficient throughout my stay, making check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free. Free Wi-Fi worked perfectly, which was a big plus for staying connected.

Lazy Cat Home at Gaya Street
Staying at this guesthouse was a pleasant experience overall, especially given the location and price point. It’s very convenient—just a short walk from the local market and close to all the main attractions in Kota Kinabalu. That said, it does get quite busy during market hours, so if you’re looking for peace and quiet, maybe avoid visiting on those days. There’s no parking available, which is a bit of a drawback, but considering how affordable the rates are, it still feels like great value. The room was clean, well-maintained, and had a cozy, homey vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with recommendations or directions. For travelers who prioritize location, affordability, and a warm atmosphere, this place is definitely worth a try.
Likas Square Serviced Apartment
The hotel is absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable—definitely a place I’d stay again! The location is super convenient, just a short walk from the city center and close to public transit. It’s a great value for the quality. My only note is that bottled water isn’t provided, but that’s easy to bring your own. Everything in the bathroom was fully stocked—shampoo, soap, towels—all the essentials you’d want. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in Kota Kinabalu.
