Romantic Hotels in Sabah, Malaysia

The hotel is in a good downtown location, close to Gaya Street, nearby jetties, and malls. The sunset views from the rooftop are also beautiful. For breakfast, I recommend trying items from the à la carte menu (which are free) – they're quite good. The buffet items, however, were pretty standard. The hotel is generally new but the pool is a bit small. For rooms, try to get a higher floor as lower floors have obstructed views. Overall, if you're looking for value for money, it's pretty average, but if that's not a concern, I'd recommend it. 🥸

Room was spacious and very clean. Very comfortable with 2 pillows each bed. Toilet also very clean and has enough towels for 3 of us. Hotel staff also was very friendly and helpful especially during check in. Breakfast buffet not many choices of food but still enough to make stomach full. Location wise very good. Near to Pasar Philippines and next to Central Point mall. Easy to get anything around there. Had a very pleasant stay and will consider coming back.

air conditioner need to fix or services room very hot. when i ask for hairdryer the receptionist told me to wait for 2hours then lastly i got nothing from my waiting, no hairdryer no aircond fix. please give a good service next time.

Aside from the nice views, everything else was pretty mediocre. We stayed in room 7418, which was quite spacious and kid-friendly. It had both a bathtub and a shower. The TV had static, and the breakfast was the same every single day – at least for the 6 nights we stayed, it was the same few options. Surprisingly, there were no noodles at the club lounge restaurant. For any egg dishes, you had to specifically ask a waiter for the menu, otherwise, you wouldn't know they even had them. For 6 nights at the executive lounge, the alcohol wasn't self-serve; they only gave you a tiny bit each time. The service, from check-in to check-out, was pretty much non-existent. Housekeeping seemed to depend on the staff's mood; the first night the room was cleaned exceptionally well – I almost regretted not filming a full walkthrough. But the following days, the cleaning was very superficial.

I booked through Trip.com and already paid the 10 MYR tourism tax, but the hotel still asked me to pay it again. They only dropped it after I showed them my booking confirmation. Everyone, please be careful not to get scammed! I've stayed in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Kota Kinabalu for two days each, and this was the first time I was asked to pay a tourism tax. The beds are a bit small at one meter, so it was a tight squeeze for a family of four. However, the hotel's location is convenient, and it shares a pool with The Magellan, which is only a ten-minute walk away. That's a great perk, considering The Magellan's rooms are about 300 MYR more expensive. The hotel's own beach and pool are pretty good and kept the kids entertained.

Great service. Decided to book the hotel at the very last minute. Booking confirm almost immediately. Did not bring charger but luckily i got my usb with me and the room have a plug that can be direct plug in usb. The view is splendid,(i choose sea view) unfortunately they did not provide free parking. I was charge about rm 22 for 1 overnight stay.the hotel itself is walking distance to anjung kinabalu.the breakfast limited choice for weekend stay, but the food is delicious.i would recommend this hotel 8.5/10

I recently stayed at The Palace Hotel Kota Kinabalu and had a pleasant experience overall. The service was warm and attentive — the staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist whenever needed. The facilities were well-maintained and comfortable. The room was clean, cozy, and provided a relaxing environment after a long day. I especially appreciated the peaceful surroundings, which made the stay even more enjoyable. As for the food, it was satisfying with a decent variety to choose from. The breakfast spread was simple but enjoyable, and the dining experience was overall pleasant. All in all, it’s a good place to stay if you’re looking for comfort, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere in Kota Kinabalu. Would definitely consider coming back again.

Near to a mall. Easy to check in and check out. Comfortable and good quality bed and pillows. Very helpful customer service. Strategic location, near to mall, eateries and shops. Compact space with large bathrooms. No designated parking space. Public parking depends on luck. Parking might cost you. Overall is a good experience, comfortable stay and hassle free.

Came here for outstation and stayed around Greenage Ming Garden. The place is nice, clean and comfortable. Good environment and convenient location. Enjoyed my stay here.

Resort was huge, we had to walk quite a bit to get to our room. Services was good. Staff was trying best to help when we needed. First day we arrived there were lots of guests, and pool water was so murky. Luckily after the big group left, pool water turned to normal. Kids area was a bit small and old, and was a bit far away to get to. We had half board package - buffet dinners were pretty nice. Different cuisines every night thought out our stay. Our favourite restaurant was Oceano. Good food and clean environment. Room was big, beds were comfortable. My kids enjoyed the horse riding there too! The stable staff Adil and Nelson were excellent. They work really hard during such hot weather with big smiley faces! Give them tips if you can. My kid had fun playing archery too! Seldon was wonderful, very patient. We watched the fire dance at the beach. Such a good show!! However, Many Sandflies in the beach area. My partner’s legs got hundreds of bites after being at the beach for around 30mins. We chatted with some other guests and they had the same problems, some even at the pool area. Really need to watch out. Very itchy and wasn’t able to sleep at night because of the itchiness. Never had such experience at other resorts. The manager gave us some powder which gave temporary relief. The chairs and cushions of the buffet restaurant and the bar area have lots of bird poo. You would be lucky to get one clean one. Will still recommend this resort. I’m sure they will try better to solve the above problems.
