Nice, comfortable stay with friendly staff. Overall, we enjoyed our time here. However, we booked a room for 4 persons, but only 2 travel kits were provided (2 toothbrushes, 1 comb, etc.). We had to call housekeeping to request additional items. After a long journey, we were quite tired and hoped the room would be fully prepared according to the number of guests. It would be much better if a complete set was provided upon check-in. Breakfast was simple but nice, which we appreciated. One downside is the parking fee, which is quite expensive — RM30 per day for front shop parking and RM15 for basement parking. Hopefully, the hotel can look into improving or offering better parking rates for guests.

The room was quite clean. It's within walking distance to Gaya Street, Suria Sabah, and other places, as it's located in the city center. Kota Kinabalu is small, so every taxi ride seems to pass by the hotel, and it's very close to the Hilton. We checked in around midnight on the 17th, and the front desk lady was incredibly gentle and kind, providing very professional and warm service. The hotel facilities are a bit old, and the lobby had a peculiar smell, like durian or something similar, which wasn't very pleasant. However, the rooms facing the mountain were very quiet, and I slept really well. Overall, it's worth recommending, and I hope they can provide bottled water in the future.

My stay at Hilton Kota Kinabalu was professional and comfortable overall, balancing business efficiency with a holiday atmosphere. It's a very mature and reliable upscale hotel option in the city center of Sabah. 📍 **Location** The hotel is located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, with convenient transportation. It's about a 15-minute drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport, and surrounded by a wide range of restaurants, shopping malls, and banks. It's very convenient for accessing the waterfront and major business districts, making it suitable for business trips and short stays. 🛏️ **Room Experience** The room design continues Hilton's consistent modern business style, with a well-planned layout. The bedding is very comfortable, and soundproofing is excellent. The room's cleanliness and maintenance are kept at a high standard, effectively alleviating travel fatigue. 🍽️ **Dining & Executive Lounge** The breakfast offers a rich variety of options, combining Chinese and Western cuisine, with efficient service. The Executive Lounge provides a quiet and private environment, suitable for business meetings or brief work. In the evenings, it offers light meals and drinks, providing a professional and orderly experience overall. 🏊 **Facilities** The hotel is equipped with a gym and an outdoor swimming pool, both well-maintained. The pool area offers expansive views, balancing urban scenery with a relaxing experience, perfect for a short break during a busy itinerary. 🤝 **Service Experience** The front desk and service staff are highly professional overall, with smooth communication and seamless English service. Their timely responses reflect the mature service system of an international chain hotel. ✅ **Overall Review** Hilton Kota Kinabalu is highly suitable for: • Business travel • Company hospitality • Mid-to-high-end guests • Trips requiring stable accommodation and service standards The overall stay experience was solid and dependable, making it one of the hotels in Kota Kinabalu worth long-term partnership and recommendation.

The location is fantastic, very close to Jesselton Point,銘刻旅行社 (Mingke Travel Agency), Gaya Street, and Suria Sabah shopping mall. It's super convenient for shopping and island hopping. The hotel itself is quite new, with a stylish design and layout, attracting a lot of younger guests. Breakfast is excellent – plentiful, exquisite, and high-quality. You can even enjoy it on the outdoor terrace with direct sea views, which is a real bonus. The pool isn't huge; it's a long, narrow shape, but you still get to enjoy the sea view from there. My only minor complaints are that they don't provide complimentary bottled water that you can take out (only glass bottles for in-room use), and the lobby on the first floor is a bit small.

Generally ok. Spacious room. They provide clean towels, shower caps and sanitary bag. A roll of toilet tissue. Diluted hand soap. Iron, iron board and hair dryer. Spacious wardrobe. A safe box. 2 small bottle of drinking water. Can refill drinking water at the buffet area. The best part: free parking. Need to bring your own shampoo and shower gel. The hand soap is very diluted , I think they mixed it with water. The AC inside the room is leaking and got loud noise if the fan in high speed. The floor is a bit dusty. No slippers provided. And the shower area got mold. The sofa got old stained. Netflix not working. Wallpaper’s peeling.

The hotel is clean and hygienic. It's a one-bedroom apartment with a washing machine. It's very convenient for getting around, being close to the pier, so you can sleep in a bit. I was always the last one to be picked up for tours. It also has a balcony.

The twin room was quite spacious, and the bathroom was large with both a bathtub and a shower area. The breakfast at the ground-floor restaurant offered fresh fruits, juices, teh tarik, and a wide variety of freshly made breads, pastries, and hot dishes. The second-floor pool overlooks the sea. There were many international guests staying there. Booking a month in advance offered great value for money.

As an older hotel, it was better than I expected. The rooms were clean and the pool was nice! There's a small beach where you can snorkel, even though the water isn't very clear. Good value for money, though it gets crowded with Koreans during public holidays.

Thanks to the Sheraton Hotel staff, who provided a pleasant and healing experience on our first visit to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, our mother-daughter trip was comfortable and happy. The male and female main managers helped us carry our luggage, opened doors for us, helped us open car doors, pointed out Grab locations, and greeted us. The main chef's special raksha was even more delicious than the raksha restaurants popular with Koreans. The fluent Korean-speaking female staff member who diligently served us warm tea every morning. The table servers and the breakfast manager who made small talk with us. The room cleaning maids. Thank you to everyone for their kindness and hospitality. I had a good rest and returned home. Be happy!

DDanial ErzhanWe had an absolutely wonderful honeymoon stay at Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth and excellent hospitality that made our honeymoon feel truly special. The room was spacious, beautifully maintained, and offered a stunning sea view perfect for a romantic and relaxing getaway. The ambiance throughout the resort was calm and luxurious, ideal for couples celebrating a special occasion. The facilities were top-notch, especially the swimming pool and beachfront area, where we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets every evening. Breakfast was delightful with a wide variety of choices, and the staff were always attentive, friendly, and professional. A special thank you to the team for the thoughtful touches that made our honeymoon memorable. Shangri-La Tanjung Aru is truly the perfect place for a romantic escape, and we would definitely love to return again. Highly recommended for honeymooners and anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious retreat in Kota Kinabalu.

AAnonymous UserJust got back home yesterday, and I'm determined to write a thorough review for this hotel. My kids also encouraged me to review it, because it truly deserves it. We booked four ocean villas for two nights, and I initially thought our chances of encountering issues would be higher with such a large booking. But we didn't run into any problems at all! In fact, I even regretted not booking more nights, mainly because I was put off by too many negative reviews on Ctrip. 1. **Service:** If you're comfortable communicating in English, the hotel service is absolutely fantastic. Most of the staff speak excellent English and were diligent in explaining activities, facilities, schedules, and programs. They showed us where everything was in the room and proactively informed us about the cost if we broke any of the toiletries bottles. The higher cost for broken bottles is because the contents are genuinely expensive – they're pure plant essential oil toiletries. As someone who regularly uses essential oils, I know they shouldn't be stored in plastic. Plus, these toiletries left our hair and skin feeling moisturized, not dry. I found them to be very effective. If you're worried about breaking them, just place them on the floor. 2. **Seawater:** The seawater is quite clear. While it's not a 'jelly blue,' the clarity is definitely good. We did experience a heavy downpour one day, and the water became a bit murky the next, but it was still perfectly acceptable. The photo of the large sea turtle looks a bit blurry because it was taken with a waterproof phone case, but the water itself was actually very clear. That was taken from under our water villa. The manta ray was photographed near the stairs of our water villa room. 3. **No Outside Food Policy:** They don't allow outside food in the rooms because it attracts ants and monkeys. The front desk has a dedicated area for storing snacks. We didn't bring any snacks into our room and always closed the door promptly, so we didn't have any bugs or insects. A crucial point: absolutely do not feed the monkeys! 4. **Meals:** We had all our meals at the hotel restaurant, and the food was truly delicious. A main meal costs around 90+ MYR per person (about 160 CNY). We felt the food was excellent, with a good variety of dishes and drinks beyond just the main courses. The kids' portions were a bit small; our four children ordered 7 kids' meals, and eventually, we just ordered them regular adult meals instead. 5. **Hot Water:** Regarding previous reviews mentioning no hot water, one of our rooms indeed had this issue. We called the front desk, and it turned out there's a 'water heater' button on the wall. Hot water was available within 15 minutes. So, don't hesitate to ask! Don't be shy; good service often requires you to speak up. 6. **Free Rentals:** Paddleboards, small boats, fins, and masks are all available for free rental. 7. **Marine Life:** In the ocean, we spotted baby sharks, baby manta rays, triggerfish, archerfish (the ones that shoot water), porcupinefish, and even a large sea turtle (which is rare, but we got lucky!). 8. **Welcome/Farewell:** We received a welcome ceremony and a welcome drink upon arrival. Upon departure, we sometimes had the whole staff waving goodbye to us. 9. **Guest Demographics:** There were a lot of European and American guests at the hotel, some Koreans, but not many Chinese guests. I wonder if this is due to the excessive negative reviews on Ctrip. 10. **Cleanliness:** The hygiene was excellent, and the rooms were very clean. Each room came with life vests, so you could go snorkeling anytime. That pretty much covers it. I believe if your English communication is good, feel free to chat with the front desk and restaurant staff; they are very engaging. At 8 AM, the hotel organizes a free jungle trek. It was a bit tiring, and we didn't see much – just hiking uphill. For reference, my experience this trip, and with these four rooms, was genuinely excellent. Having been to places like the Maldives, Bali, and Koh Lipe... I think this hotel offers great value for money, and I would definitely come back. Hotels at this price point on Koh Lipe before were significantly worse.

AAnonymous UserI didn’t pay much attention to the hotel’s details because I was out scuba diving every day. This hotel is old, so if you’re looking for a super clean and modern feel, this isn’t the place for you. They provide a good breakfast, and the staff even packed it for me since I had to leave early for diving. The location isn’t far from the main center, and there are plenty of shops nearby, which is convenient if you want to buy snacks or grab a quick meal.

AAnonymous UserThis hotel was perfect for a completely relaxed trip. I was very satisfied with the room; the balcony was great and offered a good level of privacy. However, my initial idea of stepping right onto the beach didn't pan out. You can see the beach from afar, but that's as close as you get! You actually have to walk through a large area of greenery, so it’s quite a distance from the sand. The only upside is that on a day like this, you can sit outside all day without getting any sun, which was very comfortable. It’s absolutely ideal for just lying back and looking at your phone. Truly a perfect spot for men who just want to chill out. The Ocean Wing family room would be better for families with two children. For us, with just one child, it felt a bit wasteful as the top bunk was empty, haha. The Garden Wing pool is livelier and also a good spot for watching the sunset. If you like a more vibrant atmosphere, stay there. If you prefer quiet, choose the other side. Our family room, 1802, was actually about the same distance from the Garden Wing lobby as it was from the Ocean Wing front desk. Walking through the connecting corridor was fine, and it wasn't hot. At night, the path with the lawn lights was also very close. The so-called Ocean Wing is actually quite quiet, and the rooms have a large outdoor resting area. As for value for money, that’s up to you to decide. The ground floor of the Garden Wing only has two small outdoor stools and gets more sun. The room itself was quite cool, with strong air conditioning. I recommend wearing long sleeves when going to the restaurant for meals – definitely long sleeves! For dining, I’d suggest the Garden Wing buffet restaurant; they have more variety. Regarding booking activities, I recommend emailing the hotel in advance to confirm your booking number and the activities you want to do. Otherwise, don't expect to be able to book activities like the night animal viewing on the spot. There are only slots for 10 people per day, and usually, three families are enough to fill them. So, I couldn't book anything during my two-day stay, which was very disappointing. One friendly aspect might be for children who need childcare. Upon check-in, they give you a daily activity list in both English and Chinese, and children can be supervised. Daily drinks and food are replenished. You can actually order Grab food delivery, but there's an extra 10 RM delivery fee. It’s really far, over ten kilometers! So remote... There’s a restaurant nearby called Dongfang Tea Restaurant; you can search for it on Dazhong Dianping. Add the owner's phone number on WeChat, and he'll come pick you up! It can save you a lot; it's about 90 RMB per person. The hotel's buffet dinner isn't great, not as good as the breakfast buffet. That's what people who tried it said; I didn't, haha. Breakfast lasts from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM, and I usually went around 9:30 or 10:00 AM and stayed until after 10:30 AM. The shuttle bus schedule is also very useful in my pictures. For check-out, I left around 12:30 PM, and the front desk told me to be in the lobby 15 minutes early for the bus. The drop-off time is excellent, taking you to Imago Shopping Mall. However, they can't drop you off at the airport directly; there are only two airport shuttles, one in the morning and one in the evening. Finally, here's a tip: there's a QR code in the lobby to register as a Shangri-La member. Just scan it and register your membership number to receive a complimentary four-piece travel size shower gel set. There's also Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk (see picture). You can ask for her if needed. Summary: For older children, swimming before sunset is perfect, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, watching the sunset all the way – it’s stunning. Cons: Far from the city, and activities are difficult to book. Food: They have all the usual stuff, so it's just okay. Overall, it's a hotel very suitable for a completely relaxed and laid-back stay.

MMuhammad Damian SanI had an absolutely unforgettable experience at Sutera @ Mantanani Island. From the moment I arrived, I was completely mesmerized by the island’s beauty the crystal clear turquoise waters, soft pearly sand, and breathtaking views felt like something out of a dream. Every moment spent there was pure bliss. What truly made the experience even more special was the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Their genuine smiles and welcoming hospitality made me feel right at home and added so much heart to the trip. Whether relaxing by the beach or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, everything about Mantanani felt magical. Overall, it was a perfect escape, and I truly enjoyed every second of my stay. Sutera @ Mantanani Island is a hidden gem, and without a doubt, I will be returning again in the future.

HHefeng05This is my second stay at the Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, and the experience was excellent once again! 👍 📍 The location is absolutely perfect, right in the city center. It's a 5-10 minute walk to shopping malls and duty-free shops, and even closer to Durian Street and Gaya Street, making it super convenient for dining, shopping, and exploring. In the evenings, it's lovely to stroll to the night market or the seafront. 🛏️ I highly recommend the high-floor sea-view rooms. The views are unbeatable 🌊, and watching the sunset is breathtaking! The rooms are spacious and clean, the bedding is comfortable, and it's perfect for family trips. They even offer a complimentary extra bed, which is a thoughtful touch. 🍽️ The breakfast deserves special praise! There's a wide variety of dishes, and the freshly cooked noodles and rice vermicelli have different toppings each day – the beef and tendons are incredibly flavorful 😋. The Teh Tarik (pulled tea) is rich and aromatic, and the croissants are thin and crispy, unlike any I've had in China! The Chinese-speaking staff even help prepare the Teh Tarik, providing friendly and attentive service. 💁 The staff are always smiling, proactive, and enthusiastic. Communication in Chinese is largely seamless, making you feel right at home.

GGuest UserEverything was fine. Service, location. Easy access. Free parking. Beautiful sight of room. Except I do feel the size of beds seem smaller than other hotel. Location is nice. Easy to walk around other places. Near KK plaza & walking distance to waterfront & centrepoint sabah. But do smell market at the parking lot. Swimming pool cgood. Got both for adult and kids. I do wish more table & seats provided outside of changing room. Breakfast was worth it. For kids & adults. I would suggest if you could add hot chocolate for drinks as well. Personally I would like to stay at this hotel next time.

HhehahoFirst off, upon entering the hotel lobby, there was a strange, unpleasant smell, which also permeated our room. The odor only disappeared after we blocked the bathroom floor drain and sink. The breakfast, however, was plentiful. We booked an executive room and visited the executive lounge on the 15th floor. The dinner there was just okay; it filled us up, but there wasn't much variety, and on one occasion, by around 8 PM, there was nothing left but juice and beverages. The infinity pool was nice. At check-out, we were missing a room card, but the front desk didn't charge us for it, which was a pleasant surprise. Our executive room had a connecting door to the adjacent room, suggesting they can be linked. The overall soundproofing in the room wasn't great. There are three convenience stores located downstairs from the hotel.
