The Aru Hotel at Aru Suites
4.3/562 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
Spacious rooms worth with the price. Fine customers service. Locations is good easy to find near to tanjung aru beach just for few minutes drive, and got supermarket, restaurants and laundry outside the hotel. If you come with car, don’t have to worry about parking. Water heater and glass/cup provided in the room, but I think you have to bring your own 3in1 drink as our room doesn’t provide it😅.. To iron clothes you have to go outside the room. Washroom is clean, shower for water heater works great! But, there is yellow stain on toilet seat. The room door is a bit noisy when it close by itself. We received complaints from people in other room, and the workers come to us telling us to close the doors slowly, but don’t think it’s our fault because the door is automatically closed and felt a bit heavy when we tried to stop it, iykyk 🤣. But overall, worth for price!

stay was good. need to pay rm100 deposit upon checkin (even u already paid online), no worry, it'll be given back tho upon check out. the room is pretty and clean. only problem is that there's seem to be not enough worker in this hotel, and not their (the worker) fault imo, but to those in charge please do better.

Tanjung Aru
Generally ok but environment seems a bit isolated. Staff is nice. Near to beach, walk about 5mins
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

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
