Nice Highland get away a mere 30 to 40 mins from KK City centre. Resort has awesome City and Mountain (incl. Mt Kinabalu if skies are clear) views. Rooms and F&B menu are pretty basic. There is no swimming pool or spa. Resort has adequate facilities for small to medium sized events. Resort is fine for couples or those hankering for a cool, clean and quiet place to escape to.

I loved the hotel with its colonial atmosphere, marble entrance floor and bathroom, beautiful, comfortable room. The location is amazing, on the street where the brilliant Saturday night Market is, and the Sunday morning Market as well. Fairly close to the harbour front for amazing sunsets and the fish Market at night- choose your fish and they'll cook it and you eat it there. For these reasons I would definately stay again. There is no cafe or restaurant which is a shame as it would be so fabulous to sit in that lovely entrance area by the paino and have afternoon tea! Also no breakfast there. However 'Old Town' cafe is opposite and very pleasant for breakfast or a snack, and the Japanese restaurant next door is also good if you don't want to go far. The staff are friendly but a bit 'switched off'. It says in the hotel information that tours are offered but the staff say they don't do this. I had to keep asking abut transport information as they felt it wasn't their role to give it! This hotel could easily offer more support to visitors regarding where to go and how to book it. I got more helpful information from the shop assistant I bought clothes from in the shopping mall. 😅

Highly recommended in Kota Kinabalo cheap, Clean and modern, has laundry area just bring your detergent. Good for long term if you’re always out this is no window hotel. The room is good for 3 people the bed is spacious and it has other extra bed which made it more space in the room. The staffs are nice theyre helpful and always ready to help whenever their helped needed. It’s easy to check in you just need to message them via WhatsApp they have their number in the details you will see it after you will book the place. Message them in advance before you arrived atleast a day or hour. Don’t go there without messaging them because they have no lobby. They will send via WhatsApp on how you self check in. The building has a mall so it has restaurants local and western, other asian restaurants, bar, has convenient store, bakery and many more. Imago is just less than 10 mins walk Hospital is just a walking distance too 📍Sutera Avenue | Homi Breeze

Review of Marriott Kota Kinabalu: I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Marriott Kota Kinabalu, and I must say that it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by friendly and attentive staff who made me feel welcome and ensured a smooth check-in process. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with modern and elegant décor throughout. My room was spacious, well-appointed, and impeccably clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I had a great night's sleep during my entire stay. The room also offered stunning sea views of the sunset, which added to the overall charm of the accommodation. One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional service provided by the hotel staff. They were always ready to assist with any request or inquiry, and their attention to detail was commendable. Whether it was arranging transportation, providing recommendations for local attractions, or simply offering a warm smile, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Overall, my experience at the Marriott Kota Kinabalu was outstanding. The combination of luxurious accommodations, attentive service, and convenient location made it a memorable stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu and looking for a truly exceptional hospitality experience.

The hotel is just opposite to fish market. 12 min drive to airport . Very Convenient location. However , we stayed at the top floor , they have a skybar on top of the building . At 11pm++, staff were moving the chair / table , the noise is a bit distracting. Except this , we are quite satisfied with the stay .

The hotel location is excellent. Near weekend night market and Sunday morning market at Gaya street. Also within walking distance from popular seafood restaurants such as Welcome Seafood and kk garden seafood. The swimming pool is 1.4m deep with a kids pool which caters to families with young kids. The buffet spread has good variety of food. The staff are friendly. The only small feedback is that the aircon temperature is too cold which I think it is centrally controlled.

The staff is very nice & efficient. We noted it’s a smoking room after check-in, and the staff arranged another non-smoking room for us as requested upon booking. The swimming pool locates on the rooftop, with a rooftop bar & restaurant. Located near the city center, close to lots of local food & restaurants.

Overall our 2-night stay at Hyatt Centric KK was comfy n relaxing. The lobby n top floor lounge ambience is excellent~feeling of calmness. Rooms are spacious n clean with beautiful sunset seaview. We especially like the bathroom with sitting bench~ a considerate design for guests who prefer to sit n shower. Restaurant staff were very well-mannered n helpful. The hotel is well located just opposite the Sabah Suria shopping mall, so it's very convenient if you wish to dine out or shop around

I recently stayed at Mercure Kota Kinabalu, and my overall experience was a mixture of positives and negatives. The hotel's ambiance and service were generally acceptable, but a couple of aspects left me with a less than perfect impression. On the positive side, the room, although not the promised city view, was comfortable and well-maintained. The amenities provided were standard and met our basic needs for a short stay. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, adding a pleasant touch to our overall experience. However, one notable drawback was the discrepancy in the room description. Despite being assured of a city view, we were assigned a room overlooking the opposite facing the busy road. While this may seem like a minor issue, it did impact our overall satisfaction, as the promise of a particular view was one of the factors influencing our choice. Another inconvenience was the lack of dedicated parking facilities at the hotel. This meant that my husband had to purchase parking coupons daily, adding an unexpected expense to our stay. Moreover, the strict enforcement of parking regulations by 8 am posed a challenge, especially for guests who preferred to start their day later. In conclusion, Mercure Kota Kinabalu is a decent choice for a short stay, offering comfortable accommodations and friendly service. However, potential guests should be aware of potential discrepancies in room assignments and the absence of on-site parking facilities, which may affect the overall convenience and cost of their stay.

OOn cloud 9This was an unplanned stay, i booked 2 hours before we checked in, after a long days at the hospital for my mother’s appointment . Checked in process was smooth with minor error but it’s ok as the receptionist looks new. But he still did his best and did a good job to handle the customer. Well done! đŸ‘đŸ» we had a great rest and recommend this hotel if u want free parking and easy access to suria mall with a lots of food choices.

GGuest UserToujoo is tucked in a little corner of KK city center, easily accessible for tourists and locals alike. Our room was clean (room 102-studio double window), bed super comfy, bathroom is tiny (expected) but well ventilated and water pressure is good. Soundproofing is good and it's quite quiet, we didn't hear our neighbours and the storm brewing outside. The room is equipped with Bluetooth speakers, which we really liked. No TV. Plenty of electrical points to charge your devices. Also, guests can use the facilities in OPIS (between Ground floor and First floor). Great area to lounge around, make your own coffee/tea, play pool, or read. There's also a house cat (Pablo?) if you need some pet therapy. 😆 Sundays are good for ladies (free flow cocktail at the Tamu rooftop bar 5-7pm) plus the food is superb! Overall this place is highly recommended!

GGuest UserAll else is good except the services. 1. Only provide check in instruction after make deposit (8AM), but after deposit i never get instruction until i need to remind them again at 3PM when i reach the homestay. 2. I stayed JQ before, and given 2 access card. But this time I only got 1, which is so troubling when we families come back to JQ at different time. 3. After I check out (12PM), I sent picture as a proof which I put the key back to the mailbox, hoping can get the deposit back ASAP. They only reply my text in the late evening asking my account number for refund. But after i gave them, they dissapear again. Still waiting for my refund ( 0835PM )

My family is very grateful and happy to stay here. The air conditioner is not very cold, need to wait and on for long hours. The breakfast is many choices and food is tasty.

NNanie Idayu MMy husband and I spent two nights here. The queen room size is suitable for family with 2 children under 10. During our stay the tv channels had problems due to the change from analogue to digital tv. We asked for help from the maintanence and he showed up...3 times but the problem unsolved (my husband was quite upset because he wanted to watch the Malaysia Cup final between JDT and Kedah... lol). We have not tried the food because breakfast was not included in my room rate. Mini bar is not provided in room. The room and bathroom are clean. The hotel provide a newspaper every morning. The location is good even for those who come without transportation...just a few minutes walk to Imago, Craft Market and KK market

RRajTheRacerAs my first trip to Kota Kinabalu, my aunt had booked a room here at this hotel as she arrived here first. Since I was coming to visit, she had requested for a bigger room and asked if they had a discount if she upgraded. Unfortunately no. So I had met up with my family a few days later late at night from another trip with friends. My first impression was this hotel was located in a dank looking mall. Furthermore, upon getting ready for bed, the sheets were gross and stained, the pillows were yellow and ants were climbing on the wall where my tiny twin sized bed was up against. I literally could not sleep as some got onto the bed sheets, mind you its almost 1am. The next morning, I found a few ants climbing on my suit case as well. Being disgusted by this, I insist we move out immediately. I had gone online and booked a nicer room at the Ming Garden. We tried to get a refund since my aunt had pre-paid in advance for the nights I was visiting. They would not do anything for us, they said if there were bugs to call room service. Honestly, I don't think they would understand this but when there are ant's, MORE will come. And what? You're gonna have the maid spray RAID next to my bed at 2am? That smell of bug spray probably isn't good to inhale. They looked at us like we were being too much or too extra but honestly, we're from the USA and I haven't stayed in such an unsanitary hotel before. Not even in the Philippines. What is really frustrating is they wouldn't give my aunt a refund. They could only offer her credit to stay at a later date. This would never fly or be alright in the USA. Very disappointing in the service. Just beware! This was terrible service in my honest opinion and the Ants! I had to check everything in the new hotel as some ants got into my suitcase. DISGUSTING. BEWARE. DON'T STAY HERE. Photos are also false advertising of the deluxe room. The walls were cracking, the floors were warping....just beware.

Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu
IIrsa OlieThe Floating Mosque of Sabah is truly breathtaking. Its location on the water makes it unique and adds to its beauty. The architecture is stunning, with intricate details and peaceful colors. Since we're Muslim, we're allowed to enter. Inside, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful, making it a great place for reflection and prayer. The views from the mosque are amazing, overlooking the sea and the city. It's a wonderful spot to visit, whether you're a tourist or a local. I found it to be a serene and tranquil place, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Floating Mosque of Sabah for its beauty, serenity, and unique experience it offers.
