2-Star Hotels in Sabah, Malaysia

Overall cleanliness was good. And the location is very strategic as it is located in one of KK's biggest malls. I don't know if I could recommend this hotel due to my experience of construction noises lasting from 10pm to 12am (and it went over 12am where I had to ask the staff to check on it). I understand this may be a one-off incident but the lack of understanding from the staff is what truly puts me off. Even though the noise was coming from the mall, it does directly affect your customers and thus it is a problem that the hotel has to address. I called to complain twice, got no updates after the first and had to face a very dismissive receptionist in the second. The hotel should have taken more active measures and worked with the mall management. I don't think there's any excuse as to why construction has to happen AT NIGHT where your guests want to rest/sleep. Other than the mall, no other amenities.

I arrived at 9 AM and was immediately checked in. After a good sleep, I headed out to explore. No deposit was required, which was a nice touch. The staff were all smiles and made me feel right at home. Next time I'm in Kota Kinabalu, I'll definitely choose this place again. The privacy is excellent, and the capsule rooms are great. It's also conveniently located near the Central Market and Gaya Street, making it easy to get around.

The location is convenient; there's a local diner (cha chaan teng) downstairs, along with a 24-hour Seven Eleven and a buy-one-get-one-free Apple Mini Mart. It's also close to the Big Gala Seafood Restaurant, and there's a McDonald's, KFC, and a Center World shopping mall nearby. The hotel service is great too. Definitely worth staying here.

The hotel's location is close to ***a Street and Suria Mall. There are many restaurants, pharmacies, and shops nearby. However, the room is small, which can be a bit difficult if you're traveling with more than one suitcase.

The hotel is right in KK Square, making it super convenient for food, drinks, and shopping. However, the room was a bit dark, the bathroom was small, and the pillowcases weren't clean. Other than that, everything else was fine.

Love the Unbeatable Scenery: Situated high on a hillside, it offers what many consider the best, panoramic views of Mount Kinabalu in the area.Updated Rooms: Recent renovations have improved room comfort, with spacious layouts making it a solid base for family trips.Convenient Location: It provides a peaceful, quiet environment while remaining just a few minutes' drive from Kundasang town and local attractions.

I stayed on the 7th floor in room 71X facing the main road. The room was generally fine, but being next to the main road means you can clearly hear traffic noise throughout the day and night. Another issue was that every time I turned on the water heater for a shower, there was a noticeable smell coming from the bathroom. I’m not sure what the smell was, but it was quite obvious whenever the hot water was running. Overall, the stay was okay.

Near KKIA. Simple amenities e.g. towel. Sufficient for 1 night stay.

Prior to making the reservation, I had reviewed numerous negative online comments, primarily concerning issues with the air-conditioning and bathroom facilities. As a result, I contacted the hotel directly to seek clarification. The front desk staff assured me that I would be allocated a room without such problems and stated that it was designated for foreign guests and had not received any complaints. Relying on this assurance, I proceeded to book a twin-bed room. Upon check-in, we were required to carry our luggage to the third floor due to the absence of an elevator, and no assistance was offered by the staff. Although the room layout was acceptable, it was poorly maintained, with visible damage to the headboard. On the third evening, after returning to the hotel during heavy rain, we discovered that the shower was not functioning properly, with no water supply initially and only minimal cold water later. Despite being informed that a technician would attend to the matter at 11:00 p.m., no assistance was provided even after 11:25 p.m. Subsequently, the air-conditioning unit began leaking water. When I requested a room change, the staff initially declined, citing a lack of availability. Only after I insisted on speaking to the manager or owner was a replacement room, free from these issues, finally provided. I am extremely disappointed with this hotel, as it is evident that management has failed to take previous guest feedback seriously or implement necessary improvements despite repeated online complaints.

The room is new and the bedding is very comfortable. However, the air conditioning blowing directly onto the bed isn't ideal. The overall hygiene is excellent, and check-in was very convenient. They also recommended some great local restaurants suitable for Chinese palates, which was a big plus – no bad choices there! Early check-in and early check-out were possible, though regular check-in requires a cash deposit. I would NOT recommend room 709; the window is terrible, with almost zero soundproofing. It's right next to the airport, so a plane takes off every ten minutes or so. Plus, there are motorbikes on the main road nearby, so don't expect to sleep before 3 AM. Kota Kinabalu isn't big; a taxi to Jesselton Point is only about ten-something MYR during off-peak hours.
