Nice place, clean and safe in a good location, although the street is busy during the day it is not loud. The staff was friendly and always available,easily booked trips to the islands and Shuttle to the airport. Great value for money,would stay again.
So glad I chose Alice Home! The Beijing boss is incredibly hospitable, and our remote communication was always pleasant and easy. He's super efficient! Their place was the most spacious and comfortable I found in Semporna for the same price point, and my kid even got to watch TV. The location is super convenient, close to the center and the jetty, and there are two highly-rated 4.8 Chinese and Western restaurants right outside. Plus, it's a rare quiet spot, and the entrance is well-lit. The island-hopping tour team recommended by the boss was also fantastic; they had a dedicated person accompanying my 5-year-old in the water, which made my child incredibly happy and me feel completely at ease. Next time I come, I'll definitely book in advance and only stay here! đđ

For the budget traveler this hotel is more than enough. They provide sea view from balcony and the capsule is not big and not small. Plus point they have lift so if you bring a luggage you'll be fine. They also provide women only room and locker for your luggage. The staff are so funny and helpful too you'll feel less lonely haha. I meet and talk to other soloist, very nice experience. The thing that you may notice they don't provide breakfast and you can't cook here. So be prepared to bring your own meals. Oh there is a washing machine inside but you need to pay for 8 pieces

Plenty of parking spaces around, convenient stores, restaurants well within walking distance. Away from main road, quiet environment if you are ok with the sound of airplane landing or taking off since it's very near airport. Some of the wall mounted power sockets need to be replaced cause they're not working properly. Other than that, no major complaints.

The hotel room was clean. Amenities provided are shampoo and body soap. The location from the town area is quite central. It's easy to park a car, not a busy road. It's located at the back of Plaza Shell. A water dispenser is the only thing missing from the hotel, so next time when you want to stay, make sure to buy one drinking water for yourself. Anyway there are convenience stores nearby the hotel.

Switz Paradise Hotel is a budget-friendly stay located conveniently in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, making it ideal for travelers who want quick access to malls, eateries, and local attractions like the waterfront and Gaya Street Market. The rooms are basic but functional, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and private bathroomsâsuitable for short stays. While the location is a plus, some guests note issues like city noise at night, limited soundproofing, and modest cleanliness. Overall, itâs a good option for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location over luxury.
The facilities are old, but it's OK for a short stay. There are a lot of birds outside, so be careful of bird droppings. You can't eat in the room, but you have to eat in the lounge, which requires a deposit of MRY100.

My favourite place to stay everytime visit Kota Kinabalu city very reasonable price with good facilities. Nearby shopping mall restaurant and laundry. Most important the service very good and the reception very helpful.
The only reason I stayed here was because of it location near to the airport. Everything else is good in terms of experience except I was imposed with liability costing RM10 for soiling one piece of their towel. The soiling happened because I walked outside after the rain and my foot got into a mud spot. I came back to my room and I accidentally stepped on the towel. Bear in mind, I had to book their largest room meant for 4 pax because that was the only one available even though I stayed alone. Considering the occupancy is low for that large room, soiling one piece of towel does not justify a RM10 liability damage.
The boss is very nice, close to the sea, the bed is clean and hygienic, the price is cheap, it is recommended for single people

AAddy AzminNice and clean place to stay. Staffs are helpful and friendly. Spacious room. Near to a sundry shop and laundry shop. The hotel have cafe if you want to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can see mount Kinabalu from the hotel.
GGero SGH Benjamin is located in a quieter area, up a steep slope and away from the city's hustle and bustle. It's a beautiful area to wake up to the mountains and would be a wonderful spot if it makes a few improvements to the space and amenities.
1) The spring bed is terribly firm, you can also feel the springs through the bed. The clothes rack was also almost going to fall apart.
2) The ventilator was not working so the moisture of the toilet came into the room instead, making it very moist.
3) The water kettle we were provided almost caught fire as smoke was coming out of the plug. Thankfully we caught it in time. When we reported this to the reception and asked if they want to get someone to check, we only got an âOkâ. Perhaps it's a language barrier but it wasn't reassuring that the next traveller would be safe.
4) It would be nice to provide at least one chair in the room. It'll also be nice to have a seating area outside of the container cabin so people can enjoy the view of the mountains.
FFeel the WorldA great stay at Sepilok. Good location to visit the orangutan, Sunbear and the discovery centre. They are all walking distance but can also arrange transportation via reception. Also good distance travel to Labuk.
Nicely built with great staff. Love the service and they really make us like home. Very accommodative and giving good advice on our travel. Food is good and my son loves their special fried rice. The pool is good to cool off after a hot day.
Room is clean and lovely. Also can organise its tour to Kinabatagan River.
PPoole92It was located well next to the Orangutan sanctuary. Had a nice pool, with a scenic walk to get there.
The breakfast was really nice, and changed slightly each day. Rooms were cleaned daily. Our room didn't have AC, and the WiFi didn't. No free water is provided, and it's overpriced to buy. There is a very small shop that sells it cheaper close to the resort.
BBAL.RSure! Here's a **single, concise review** of a vacation at **Kundasang Mount Garden**:
---
**âA peaceful mountain escape with stunning viewsâ**
I stayed at Kundasang Mount Garden for a short getaway, and it was a refreshing break from city life. The scenery was absolutely breathtakingâMount Kinabalu right in view, misty mornings, and cool, crisp air all day. The room was clean, spacious, and had everything I needed, including a small kitchen and private balcony.
The garden outside is lovely, with flowers, vegetables, and even a little stream. Itâs very quiet and perfect for relaxing. However, getting there was a bit trickyâthe road is narrow and steep, so Iâd recommend using a 4WD. Also, the hot water was a bit unreliable
GGuest UserWe stayed couple of nights before driving back to KK. The place is located in the center with easy access to everything however it also means it can be quite loud at night from the traffic and karaoke next door. The room had little fridge, kettle, bottles of water and coffee mix (3 in 1).
Room was on the 3rd floor with no lift. This could be a problem for somebody with mobility issue.
RRon31aOverall the trip is quite nice, only the fan can be squeaky, but air conditioning works fine, bathroom is okay, only the water heater knob can be sometimes not functioning. Parking space can be find easily
