Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu

Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu

Tanjung Aru Kota Kinabalu|0.96km from Tanjung Aru Beach Night Market
I've had the privilege of staying in numerous Shangri-La's throughout Southeast Asia, and this particular one felt somewhat dated and in dire need of modernisation. I could see signs of improvements in progress, with sections that appeared to have already received a facelift. On my first day, I ventured to the sauna, only to find the temperature so lukewarm that I couldn't even work up a sweat. I voiced my discontent, and I'm pleased to report that the issue was addressed promptly by the next day. One aspect that left me somewhat disenchanted was the interaction, or rather lack thereof, between the staff and guests. It didn't quite embody the exemplary service one would expect from a high-end 5-star establishment. However, there was a shining exception to this observation - Addy, who was stationed at the breakfast area. Addy demonstrated a commendable level of attentiveness, engaging guests at their tables and ensuring needs were met promptly. Whether you required additional items or sought information, Addy was the person to turn to. This kind of service truly exemplified the standard one would anticipate from a hotel of this caliber. I did have an enjoyable stay, but for this hotel to remain a five star there is room for improvement.

Location is excellent just right in front the sea and the main jetty to islands. Resort has in house tram to send guests to their next door club house building. We got a room balcony with golf course view plus can see airplanes fly over for landing, very relaxing.

Kota Kinabalu City Center Kota Kinabalu|2.72km from Tanjung Aru Beach Night Market
This is the first complaint review I leave while living in Kota Kinabalu for the past eight years. I booked for a sleepover party I made to celebrate the 16th birthday of my beloved daughter and friends. The connecting room, birthday decoration, and extra bed that the hotel specifically requested were not prepared, and above all, the smell of mold from the room was shocking. I am an asthmatic. I couldn't complain in front of happy children, so I had a terrible night. When I woke up in the morning, the children also had a hard time with the smell of mold. I felt sorry and ashamed to my daughter and friends. I talked to the staff about the situations while checking out, and they told me to leave a review. Room numbers 7331 and 7332 must be checked.

The Aru Hotel at Aru Suites

Tanjung Aru Kota Kinabalu|0.97km from Tanjung Aru Beach Night Market
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.

BULATAN Hostel

Tanjung Aru Kota Kinabalu|1.08km from Tanjung Aru Beach Night Market
This hostel is very clear, well-run with friendly staff and nice decoration. Compared with 2 other hostels I stayed with in KK, the room in this hostel is the most spacious and the air-cond is very good. •Bed: very comfortable. •Electricity socket: all bunk beds have at least one USB port, some may have 2 USB ports and/or universal socket which fits China/Aust/USA plugs. •Bathroom: Clean, yet there is some room for improvement. Water pressure is good. •Bicycle: Rate is RM10 for the first hour, RM5 for every hour thereafter, and an hamlet is provided. It's nice to ride along the airport/beach in the morning. The sun could become very strong after 11am though. •Food nearby: Tried several eateries (Chinese/Malay/Indian-styled) in the neighborhood and all the food was so-so, nothing more than filling up your stomach. KFC, which run by hearing impaired staff, maybe a better choice. At night, Tanjung Aru Beach provides a wide range of hawker foods. •Hostel restaurant: The restaurant in the hostel is well decorated and air-conditioned with value meal set priced from RM15.9 to RM17.9. The grilled lamb was very nice. •Breakfast included: Self-serviced and very simple–just toast, egg and tea/coffee. Beach: Tanjung Aru beach (15 minutes walk) has beautiful sunset. Few people swim in the daytime (there is a jelly fish warning sign in the beach), but at sunset it's flocked with people. Overall, high quality hostel providing good value for money, esp for those want to stay near the beach.

Hotel room is basic but clean, and good value. Free airport pickup/drop off is excellent, just make sure you call to make booking. The driver somehow missed us at airport but came back to pick us up when you called the hotel. Free breakfast is reasonably good (noodle, scramble egg, sausage, bean). There are eating places/restaurants and shops nearby. It is also about 2km from Tanjong Aru beach, and a few kms from town center. Will stay there again.

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
