best hotel for transit stay at Kota Kinabalu”
the hotel is located near the KK International Airport and public transport; GRAB and taxis are easily available. Though the front road is still under construction/upgrading, the place is very quiet. There is a Seafood Restaurant which is just about 5 minutes walk from the Hotel. The food is excellent very affordable. I wl come to stay in this hotel again when I visit Kota Kinabalu, next time.

Conclusion:- If u r driving, try to find a reasonable price,clean,comfort hotel to have a good night sleep rest before ur next activities in Kota Kinabalu and dont mind about breakfast. This hotel is highly recomended.

Quite Pleasant Stayed...”
Pros: Staffs Attitudes, Cleanliness, Comfort-ability. Cons: Breakfast Variety is too little, Location. The reason why we choose to stayed in this hotel was because of flight transit in Kota Kinabalu International Airport as this hotel is not so far from the airport (around 10mins driving in normal traffic condition). The hotel is new, room is clean enough and everything work fined in bath room. And there is nothing around the hotel. Overall, quite a pleasant stayed in this hotel.

Photo vs. real”
Basically it's good & value for money plus staff politeness and clean, big cosy room. One thing is the Management of Hotel No. 5 might want to consider updating it's photo (hotel room etc..) as online photo look is not as impressive as real scenario. Looking forward @ staying there again.

Exceptional”
Hotel is conveniently located near the airport. Just a 5 minute drive away. Hotel is rated 3 stars, but the environment feels like a 4 star-ish. Room was nice, spacious, and clean. Simple room facilities just like other 3 star hotels. My only discontent was that the bath towels provided were thin and a bit torn at the edges. Breakfast was simple, but delicious. Overall stay was good.
Dear Arthur, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. I’m looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
Business Orientated Hotel”
Hotel has basic facility with no swimming poo, gym and other amenities. However it's a very clean and modern hotel with a large spacious bed room and bathroom. Staffs are helpful and polite. The location of the hotel is very close to KK Airport (10min) and KK City (20min) on non high traffic hour. Selection of breakfast was decent and tasty and eating place was comfortable,

AIRPORT AHOY”
Check in for 2 rooms while waiting for my daughter to arrive from KUL. Room clean as usual and the lift work best it is mitsubishi no wonder. view good. Parking area good with plenty of spaces. Breakfast provided taste good and enough for the day with choices. The day it was raining all night but the hotel provide umbrella to the car. Thanks. TV in room need channel 1 & 2 RTM and TV3 for the news but was none. All else good.

what i think of hotel no 5”
were unable to reach hotels number. we are from the philippines and its not that easy to contact them. we have indicated in our booking that we will be arriving Kota Kinabalu 2AM. when we got to the hotel, that small guy whos on duty didnt even bother to look at our booking details, neither offered us anything or any options since its already 2am, and thiniking we booked 2 nights when in fact we only stayed there for 24 hrs or for just a night. Lousy service. Asked him where we can find 24 hour places to stay or cafe. no answer at all. good job, sir! not recommending this place. do not hire inefficient, incompetent staff, thats my suggestion. the hotel is clean and the staff from the buffet breakfast were all friendly except that small guy from the reception.
Dear Cristina, We understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience we have caused you. Your comments have been brought to the attention of the departments concerned to investigate more thoroughly. Hope we have an opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Thank you.
Nice Boutique Hotel”
This hotel is situated away from town. If you have a car then this hotel has many parking bays. The room was spacious, clean with basic amenities and comes with breakfast. Breakfast selection was adequate. I believe there is a hotel van / shuttle service to town and airport. Not much extra facilities and no shops nearby.
Dear Handre, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
Clean & New Hotel”
The hotel is still very new, rooms are clean & very modern. Location is a little away from the town so be prepared to call for a taxi every time you need to explore the city. Great hotel for travelers who drive/rent their own transport (We drove here) as parking is easy & they have a security guard to look after the car. Even though it is located beside a main road, traffic noise was minimal (almost non-existent) & did not bother us at all.
Dear Adrian, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
Short stay for business trip”
Choose this hotel for my regular business trip to KK instead of my regular hotel is because of the price. Everything is ok but the only thing is the access road to hotel quite difficult to find although the hotel can be seen on main road. The breakfast varieties are limited
Dear Yong, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
Nice room in newer hotel but you'd need car”
We booked this hotel for 3 nights on the advice of a local friend because it's fairly new. With a new hotel, you can expect things to look sharp and they do. Room is spacious. Breakfast is quite good with local (Chinese) favorites and a variety of foods in a well lit beautiful room. Because they have a full size restaurant kitchen on site, breakfast hot food is freshly prepared and tasty. And they refill the food until the last minute, which is nice. Some hotels don't do that so near the end of breakfast time, the buffet spread looks like it's been heavily bombarded. Not here. We also ate a meal at the hotel restaurant and it was delicious at a reasonable price. It's located mostly in a residential neighborhood outside city centre. Not many eating options around or within walking distance. The hotel offers free shuttles to city center 3 times a day. So if it'd be better if you have your own car to move around. Of course, there's always Uber, which you should consider using because taxi can be expensive. Wifi is strong. Staff is courteous and professional.

Good value hotel with location near to airport”
Overall hotel is good. Firstly the location itself is good enough cuz located near to the airport. Easy to find with map, you won’t get lost. Then the hotel itself is pretty nice. The staffs there are very helpful, friendly and efficient. Good value hotel. Just for the breakfast - it is just ok. If you are hungry in the morning then you won’t be so satisfied with the breakfast. Well, it is still recommended to stay.
Dear Muhammad, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
Awesome stay! ”
Booked Superior Room. Level 3 (Room No. 307) Cozy place, enough space. Even though near the main road, but is not noisy. Wifi can be improve, connection is wonky. Breakfast is superb. Taste just nice. Nice bar they have at 11th Floor. Perfect for night view and sunset. To airport is just less than 10 mins. To the town is within 20 mins. Will definitely go back again.
Dear Jun, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. I’m happy that you enjoyed your stay and I’m looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
Worth every penny spent”
Pros - afforadable price, clean, friendly staff, good in-room menu as it is affordable and tasty. Cons - no gym facilities for recreation.
Dear Nur, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
Good location ”
The room was a bit small but it have basic amenities. Breakfast was alright but lack of choices. Location near to airport. No shops / restaurants available near the hotel vicinity but you can easily request Grab Car using the apps to move around.
Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
It was quite a scary afternoon”
It was all good when checking in. But then, when we got into our room, there was this non-stop knocking noise coming from the room next door(506), it knocks repeatedly every 10 seconds. We then called to the reception and told her about it, then after a while, it stops knocking, but then the knocking sound came back again after 20 - 30 minutes or so. So when we were going out for a movie, we went to the reception and told them about the knocking noise occurring again, and they look a little frightened and confused about it as this had never happened before. After we came back from outside, they told us they fixed it, and it was caused by the electric key lock that's built-in the door. But still, it was weird how it stop for about half an hour and then it continues again. Well, other than that, the room was spacious and clean, friendly staff, 3 minutes to KKIA by car, and the foods we ordered to our room was good, but not great. Would recommend to friends.
Dear Chee, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
Suits for travelers with transportation.”
Room was clean and tidy. The staffs were friendly. Breakfast was good, but lack of choices. Location is about 15 to 30 minutes from city center. Near airport, 5 to 10 minutes drive. Recommended for those with transportation. There are lots of restaurants and convenient store within walking distance, but not recommended to walk since it's near busy road. No pedestrian crossing.
Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
Pleasant stay”
Pro Clean room Great breakfast Wonderful room service Polite hotel employees A lot of parking space (for customer that bring cars) Cons Location quite far from city need own transport Price is quite expensive (room no refrigerator and bathtub)
Dear Timothy, Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.
Confort and clean ”
Room is clean & comfortable. Air-conditioning working find, spacious room, had a gd night sleep with the bed & pillow, simple n cleam bathroom. The only thing is the shower have the tendency to collect water as the drainage seems too small for the water to flow out. One of the towel is not clean (dirt). U can always ask for a change. Not a big issue. Friendly service: we asked for check in around 12.30pm (actual check in is 2pm). They got the room for us when they see availability. We also asked for a bucket of ice. They just provided to us. Wish the bar is open. This place is gd for leisure and business ppl. The location might be bit off from the city centre but they have shuttle bus service to go to the few main city spots. Just ask the concierge for more info.
