The Aru Hotel at Aru Suites
4.3/569 Reviews
Tanjung Aru
The hotel room which I stayed was very confortable, with wide space, big bed, clean bedsheets and near to eating places and also near to the airport. Initially I was afraid the noise from the airplanes may disturb my sleep as my room was facing on the left side of the building, but to my surprise I did not hear planes flying so I was happy that I didn't experience any noise to disturb my tranquility. The only con is there is no restaurant in the hotel so my breakfast came as a bento like box takeaway. No coffee also, the coffee is available in the room but is chargeable. Only the tea bags are free. The parking is multi-storeyed and managed electronically. You put your car into the car lift and it is then parked automatically one car at a time. To retrieve your car, you need to scan your hotel card for it to be brought down via the car lift again. It may be time consuming if you are in a hurry and there are a few people in the queue before you.

Tanjung Aru
Good for a short stay, cleanliness is 50/50..the toilet seat was a litte dirty and no shampoo or soap provided in the bathroom, room is okay.The only thing I value is privacy, location, room, staff service and cleanliness...for this hotel I could say its okay, each one balance the other. What I really love is there was a waiting place on the groundfloor, I get to sit there while waiting for my food being delivered instead of standing outside.

Casuarina Hotel

Tanjung Aru
I have stayed at this hotel for many times & will always come back. • The staff at this hotel were so friendly and helpful. They made my stay so comfortable. The rooms were spacious, clean and well-maintained. The location was perfect - close to the city centre, airport & you will enjoy the best sunset ever at Tanjung Are beach! The staff would also give you a free transfer to the airport for your early morning flights, fantastic you guys! You could find a lot of hawker stores at the beach area so dinner is easily sorted. “The breakfast was always great, simple but nice.
Seapark Condotel Hotel
4.3/55 Reviews
Tanjung Aru
A one-star hotel shines brightly because of the boss's super five-star service. Just listen to the boss for hotels, supermarkets, tools for catching the sea, and travel guides. It's about a quarter of an hour's walk from the beach, and there are restaurants and supermarkets along the way. The three single beds met our rest needs, which was great! Want to stay a few more days
The Crown Borneo Hotel
1/51 Reviews
Tanjung Aru
decent 1 or 2 star hotel with reasonable rate. room was stuffy & smelt due to the curtains. just need to open up your curtain / window during day for sunlight to shine in while you are not around.. make sure you keep yr stuffs safe in luggage and lock it till you return. pillow tooo thin (even so with combi 2 into 1). daily cleaning - thank you very much to the cleaner. didnt get a chance to say thank you to her. usage of computer is FOC and free flow. walking distance to seaside and park and tg plaza & airport (if you backpack can la BUT no no no to trolley luggage okie :-P ). front office and driver are friendly look like operate by family members. well, highly recommend you to stay with them
