sabah oriental is about 10 minute drive from the airport but a little too far away from the city. nice big room and facilities are ok but the hotel is in need of a refurbishment. breakfast is very good. you get the morning paper delivered outside your room door every day. if you want to have wifi in your room it costs rm 10 / 24 hours. in the lobby area you have free wifi.

Nice hotel and a short walk to town centre. Hotel provided courtesy bus to centre and shopping areas.bar area quiet although live entertainers performed most evenings there were not many guests attending. Nice swimming pool. Only complaint was the ill fitting windows which allowed a lot of traffic noise in and caused some sleep disruption. Overall very enjoyable and nice staff to with it.
Travel tip: Be wary of traffic if walking into the centre as the pedestrians right of way has a completely different meaning, not only here though, it applies to most of malaysia.

generally good experience. breakfast buffet selection good. room soft fittings like sheets, blankets, etc. were clean but need replacing. cleaning staff very helpful. was not sure if there were designated no smoking floors. another family that came with us mentioned that water pressure was not good - but the staff changed their room - quick response much appreciated.

Great Hotel but bad services & attitudes of staff

The first time we stayed at this hotel (9/12/2011 - 12/12/2011), we were very satisfied with the hotel and services of the hotel staff which is why we booked on this hotel for our 2nd trip (27/1/2012-30/1/2012). The 2nd stay was an extremely disappointing. We reached the airport at 4.30pm. Everything was alright until we were given Room 810. THE ROOM WAS BEING OCCUPIED BY OTHER HOTEL GUESTS. We went down to the reception and we were changed to Room 709. The room was empty, however, we had requested a NON-SMOKING room. We had no choice but to go to the reception again. Guest(s): We requested for a Non-Smoking room. Staff: Non-Smoking is not available at the moment. Guest(s): Please do something about it. If you do not have a non-smoking room, then be responsible. Upon confirmation of booking, we had called the hotel and confirmed with our booking once more. Staff: But you booked through Agoda. Guest(s): Does it matter if we booked through Agoda? Somemore, we had called your hotel to confirm everything. Staff: Can you please wait for half an hour? The Housekeeper(s) has to clean up the room. Guest(s) : We were late to check in. Standard check in time is 2pm/3pm. Why is the room not ready? Staff : Because the hotel guest(s) checked out late. Guest(s) : We are not going to wait any longer. It's almost 5pm. * THIS STAFF IS A YOUNG MAN COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHERS AT THE COUNTER*. We were very irritated with the services. Not even an Apology from them until we were so angry and frustrated. The day when we checked out, we carelessly left our PSP charger behind together with the socket attached to it.By the time we discovered the carelessness was already 10.59pm. We rang the hotel. They informed us that the housekeeping dept. closed at 11pm and open at 6/7am and promised will check it for us the next morning and if there is, it will be at the "Lost and Found" counter. *continue at Travel Tip*
Travel tip: I rang the hotel at 10am the next day. Unfortunately, the Staff name Mr. Mark has not informed about my call to the hotel. I talked to another staff Ms. Ann, and she managed to check it for us and had informed that we had someone to collect it for us at around 5-6pm of which she said she will inform the counter which we specifically informed her that the socket attached to the Charger is unique and unlike the other common shape. That was glad. We were so glad with her efficiency. However, when the time comes, our someone could not get our charger without several phone calls from us. To get the charger from them takes about half a hour. Apparently, Ms. Ann had not informed the others about it. When we managed to the charger back the next day without the socket. We were so deeply disappointed with the lack of efficiency of the staff, their attitudes and dishonesty. If we had not encounter the 2nd experience, we would said "one of the best hotel". We hope the management will probe into this matter seriously.
