Hyatt Regency Kinabalu
4.5/5500 Reviews

Hyatt Regency Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu City Center Kota Kinabalu|0.49km from Padang Merdeka Kota Kinabalu
Hotel is nice, clean and have good amenities. The room is clean, though not new, but all amenities are working fine. The bed is comfortable and comes with 2 pillows each. The room even has a study table. We use it as a dining table instead. The room has a unique toilet. The shower and toilet bowl is separated having a door each and next to each other. Also, the wall and door of the toilet can slide fully open exposing the sink and the doors of shower and toilet bowl. You can just slide to close everything if you want privacy. The hotel staffs are nice too and attend to your request promptly. I requested for extra pillow and they sent it within a few minutes. The breakfast was also good and delicious. They have a wide variety of dishes from local, western, Indian, Chinese. Though everyday is similar but they change certain dishes such as from fried noodle to fried kuey tiow, fried rice to nasi lemak, etc. The hotel is also close to the waterfront, eating places and walking distance to Suria Sabah shopping centre. Overall, a good hotel to stay in.

The location is convenient, it has plenty of good spa and restaurants nearby, however, it was too close to the fish market, you can smell the fish once you left the lobby. The overall hygiene is fine, bedsheet and towel are in very good condition, however, there are quite a lot of strains in the surfaces of toilet, also the shower room. And I found some ants at a corner of the room. The facilities are good, swimming pool and the rooftop bar are decent. All staff I have met are nice and friendly.

Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu City Center Kota Kinabalu|0.75km from Padang Merdeka Kota Kinabalu
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…

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.
Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel

Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel

Kota Kinabalu City Center Kota Kinabalu|1.11km from Padang Merdeka Kota Kinabalu
Overall nice hotel with very good facilities. I liked the edgeless swimming pool where you can have broader view of coastal area of KK including the ***a Island. The gym is also modern and a pleasant place to go. The restaurants are also attractive and i liked the breakfast the most as there are a lot of food options. 15/F roooftop is a good place for appreciation of sunset. The only problem is their room service efficiency: when you try to order something you might have to wait for a long time. Hope there’s improvement when I come back again in future.

The location is good. The room was decent, spacious and clean. For rm150/night withour breakfast, i believe it was a good bargain since it is located at prime area. You can just walk to todak waterfront and Filipin market. But beware if you park outside of the hotel without the parking coupon, you’d be fined rm30.

Pantai Inn Kota Kinabalu

Pantai Inn Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu City Center Kota Kinabalu|0.21km from Padang Merdeka Kota Kinabalu
Stayed in this Inn for one night. The inn is clean and the location is superb! Walking distance to shopping mall and located in Gaya Street where all the famous eateries locate. You are spoil with choice. Pro -Room is ok size, clean and toilet seem newly renovated. Value for money! Con - aircon was Abit noisy (but we are too tired to be bothered after our wonderful dive trip) Room layout for toilet and bed is a bit weird. There is no proper ”space” for toilet, the sink is actually can said locate in the room itself. In term of privacy, the toilet layout not really suitable for sharing room if you are on business trip with someone. We are traveling in the midst of Covid19 (Sabah zero case and lockdown is not started), was disappointed that the government still collect RM10 tax where the hotel business is already seem bad with less tourist. Not very supportive to the Hotel business I felt. Overall, good hotel for family or close friend.

Horizon Hotel

Kota Kinabalu City Center Kota Kinabalu|0.22km from Padang Merdeka Kota Kinabalu
When i checked in at the conter, there's a water fell down from the ceiling. I believe it was from the unmaintained aircond. I was shocked because my first impression was a bit down already. They should fix problem like that immediately since it affect their costumer. It was an overall pleasant stay. The location is 5/5 in the center of the city. Everything is in walking distance. You can hop in to any local coffee shop within the area, or local business area such as the popular Filipino's market and ***a Street weekend market. Breakfast was okay, worth to pay. There's a variety choice of foods and the changed the main menu everyday too! It was tasty. But drinks, there's lack of choice especially for kids whom loves choc drinks. I hope they can serve milo or hot choc next time. The room cleanlines was okay. The room that they gave was the old not renovated one, facing city area. There's a smell came from the toilet which it was quite disturbing. I don't know what caused the smell, but the room smell a bit like old furniture as well. Will i stay again next time? Yeah, maybe.

It was such a nice stay, clean and love the interior design concept, it only that the room wall is not soundproof you can literally hear people voices from another room but overall it’s still such a nice place and worth the money.

Great place in an amazing location. Stayed in both a very comfortable double room and in a dorm/pod which had excellent facilities. The WiFi was bettered by the three PCs adjacent to the excellent reception which proved invaluable for research and booking. Highly recommended.
