The room was great, definitely on par with a 5-star hotel in China. They even had Chinese power strips in the room, so no need for an adapter, which was super convenient. I highly recommend this hotel, it's a really good one.

Very well located place, just next to jesselton harbor and Gaya Street. We had a problem in the first day because hour apartment with double bed wasn't available and we need to stay the first night in an apartment with twin beds and without wash machine (which was included on apartment booked). From second night we could move to the apartment booked. It was clean but is old and not so wellantained, the place also don't have enough equipments (we needed to ask for pan and pots, since the only one provided was unable to use, also wasn't provide enough cutlery). But the place is near to the most attractions by walking distance and have the essentials to stay for a short time.

Came here specifically for the 'Hilton' name, haha. When traveling, it's always better to stick with brands you're familiar with. The room was decent, nothing spectacular but perfectly fine. Breakfast had a good variety of options, and there was even a server who showed you to your table. As for the location, it's right next to a famous internet-famous restaurant, but as an introvert, I didn't bother waiting in line. Guess I'll save that for my next visit, haha.

About a 15-minute walk from Gaya Street, this hotel is conveniently located right across from Welcome Seafood Restaurant. There's also a 7-Eleven and a few other restaurants nearby, making dining options really easy. Overall, it's a good spot.

Stayed at Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu recently and had a really enjoyable experience. The location is excellent — right opposite the waterfront and within walking distance to the seafood market, malls, and many food spots. The sea view from the room was amazing, especially during sunset.
The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast spread was good with plenty of choices, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The pool and rooftop area were also very relaxing after a long day out.
Overall, a great hotel for both leisure and short getaway trips in Kota Kinabalu. Would definitely stay here again!

Room is clean and well equipped. Free snack or iced tea available at a lobby. Famous restaurant is on the ground floor with 15% discount. However it opens late so not good for breakfast(or maybe closed due to holiday) nearby nothing. Only good if you have a car to explore.

I booked the Executive Room with 2 Double Beds and access to the M Club Lounge at Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel. The room was very spacious with a modern urban style. I was lucky to get a room with both city and sea views, which made the stay even more enjoyable.
The breakfast selection was excellent, with a wide variety of dishes including Malay, Chinese, and Indian cuisine. There were also live stalls for fried dishes and noodle soup. The beverage choices were impressive too, including coffee, teh tarik, and various juices.
I also enjoyed the hi-tea experience at the Club Lounge on the 15th floor. The lounge offers a beautiful view, especially during sunset, which created a very relaxing atmosphere.
What made the stay even better was the friendly and helpful staff. They were very welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist throughout my stay.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience staying at Marriott Hotel Kota Kinabalu. Thank you!

This hotel is conveniently located with restaurants and convenience stores nearby! The room was spacious, allowing me to relax comfortably. I booked an ocean view room, so I could see the sea from the window, but it wasn't directly in front of the ocean; rather, the sea was visible beyond some buildings and a road. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of high-quality dishes, and I wanted to eat everything, but of course, I couldn't finish it all. I wished I had another stomach!
Waiting for the boat at the pier, the staff member was really nice. He brought us chairs to sit on and even offered us water. Although I didn't catch his name, I really want to thank him!
Upon arrival, the front desk was already there to greet us. Honestly, if your English isn't great, communication on the island can be a bit challenging, for instance, regarding the shower water, Wi-Fi, or power outages. They explained everything in great detail, and the next day, they even followed up to ask about the hot water – they truly care about guest satisfaction. Oh, and they upgraded us to a high-floor villa! We encountered two geckos and a small snake in the room, but the kids weren't scared at all because they knew they were harmless creatures. A super-sized cockroach crawled out of the drain in the bathroom, haha, my child watched it for ages. To be honest, considering it's in the mountains, maintaining it to this standard is quite impressive. It was a great experience, far from the city's hustle and bustle, allowing us to enjoy the charm of the ocean and the forest.
We stayed in a high-floor villa and ordered room service for dinner. The delivery staff worked so hard, carrying the trays all the way to our room, and the food was still surprisingly hot, which really touched us. We gave them a small tip as a token of our appreciation for their efforts.
Great

Very Good
CChanger YipI chose this hotel because it's the closest to the beach with the best views, perfect for sunset watching, and indeed, the sunsets were spectacular! It's also very close to the airport. The room had a fantastic view. While the facilities felt a bit dated, it didn't detract from the overall vacation vibe. There's an ice machine on every floor, which was great for drinks. The heated pool was a nice touch, and the breakfast restaurant was huge with a wide variety of options. Because it's so large, getting from the Tanjung wing to the lobby was a bit of a walk. Also, on the fourth floor, the roof can slightly obstruct wide-angle photos. Overall, it offered a wonderful resort experience, and finding the hotel for Grab pickups was easy.
KKT5009Don't book during the rainy season, don't book during the rainy season, don't book during the rainy season. It's from Sep to Feb. I said 3 times it's important if you don't wanna ruin your holiday. We booked 3D2N in mid Sep. Our holiday turned out to be a staycation nightmare in the resort. We can't do all the water activities neither the jungle trekking. The water heater in our room is not working, we have to shower with shivering cold water in this kind of weather. Lots of big size anta inside the room crawling from the bathroom to the bedroom. Make sure you cleaned up for your snacks and drinks, tie up the garbage bag if you don't want these insects to come to your bed, There is also a landslide happening on our first night, luckily we are not affected as we stayed in the ocean villa. There is only one restaurant in this resort, food prices are the same as SG restaurant pricing, no cheap option here. In room dining needs to pay RM25 extra. Staff service is good but this cannot cover the several run down part of the resort.
GGuest UserI think the hotel, though a bit old, is very well-managed. The breakfast is delicious, and for the price, it offers great value for money. My stay felt clean and comfortable.
GGuest UserI had a wonderful stay at this resort. The resort is very beautiful, clean, and peaceful. The staff were friendly and kind, and they even provided an extra bed for my kids, which made our stay more comfortable.
The beachfront location is amazing and very convenient for kids to do snorkeling safely. I also love that there were no sandflies, so it felt safe and comfortable for my children.
The breakfast was delicious with many good choices. The environment was calm, quiet, and not noisy at all perfect for relaxing and also very suitable for honeymoon couples.
I highly recommend this place and would definitely come again.
RReeseDI only realized after checking in that this wasn't the ”most beautiful sunset” Shangri-La that's so famous online. This one is outside the city, but it's still a great resort. While the hotel is overall quite dated, the staff are very warm and friendly, and they have a heated pool. You can go to the mountains in the morning to see animals, but remember to book in advance due to limited spots. Most guests are Westerners and Chinese. It's not as photogenic as the other Shangri-La, but it's perfect for a relaxed, leisurely vacation.

AAnonymous UserThe room was old, very small, and the soundproofing was terrible, making it hard to sleep. On top of that, the window couldn't be opened, leading to a strong, unpleasant musty smell inside. They don't provide bottled water; you have to get it yourself from the hallway. If these things bother you, think twice before booking.

AAnonymous UserWe booked a renovated room, supposedly from 2 years ago, but when we arrived at 6 PM, they told us there were no rooms on the second floor, only on the first. They assured us it was the 'best room,' but as soon as we entered, there was a strong musty smell, and the hairdryer sounded like it was about to explode. After watching the sunset and having dinner, we returned to find the room getting hotter and hotter. We then realized the air conditioning was broken. It took three calls to finally get through to the front desk. The maintenance worker spent half an hour trying to fix it with no progress, and then told us we'd have to switch rooms. During all this, the room was incredibly stuffy and hot, almost unbearable. The front desk kept apologizing but only offered an extended checkout or a ride to the city the next day, and we had to decide on the spot what time we wanted to leave. This 'sorry' attitude was really disappointing and quite unbelievable.
The funniest part was that the room they moved us to was on the second floor – the very floor they said had no availability earlier. It was clean, no musty smell, and not hot at all. It makes you wonder who they were saving those rooms for, or if they were discriminating against us.
The hotel environment itself is beautiful and very photogenic, with lots of free and paid activities. Feeding the monitor lizards was fun. However, the front desk's attitude and their handling of issues were consistently poor. Exercise caution if you decide to stay here.
Also, we heard the hotel restaurants aren't great. We ate at the sunset bar, which was enough to fill us up, but you can't order takeout.
ZZYBBThe food at the hotel was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. The location is very close to the airport, and getting a taxi is convenient, so there's no need to worry about traffic jams affecting your travel plans.
