    “Thoughtful service and comfort”

    Le Meridien continues to impress with its top-notch service and thoughtful hospitality. For both of my recent stays, I paid for access to the lounge — and it was well worth it. We arrived around 1 PM — a bit early, as check-in is officially at 3 PM. Although I had requested early check-in, the rooms weren’t ready yet, which was understandable. What made a difference was the staff’s accommodating gesture: they offered us temporary lounge access so we could wait comfortably. We decided to head to Imago Mall in the meantime, and by 2:30 PM, they gave us a call to say our rooms were ready. By the time we returned, our luggage was already in the rooms — such a thoughtful touch! This wasn’t our first time experiencing their exceptional service. Back in April, my husband and I also stayed in a lounge-access room to celebrate our anniversary. We arrived late, around 8 PM, and had a flight the next day at 9:45 PM. The staff offered us a late check-out at 2 PM and invited us to stay in the lounge until 6 PM before heading to the airport. Since we had missed the lounge’s tea time and evening snacks the day before, they ensured we could enjoy them the next day — truly considerate service. Every interaction was met with warm smiles and attentive care. From the generous lounge offerings (tea time from 2–4 PM and evening snacks with free-flow drinks from 5:30–7 PM) to the spacious connecting rooms and the convenience of a nearby coin laundry, everything made our stay smooth and memorable. We’ll definitely return. Le Meridien remains one of our top choices in KK for its outstanding service, comfort, and consistent hospitality — especially when opting for the lounge access experience.

    “A Perfect Stay”

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and memorable. I booked 3 rooms for my group, and each one was perfect — offering stunning sea views and modern, spacious interiors. The hotel’s attention to detail and cleanliness made it easy to feel at home. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. It was an absolute delight, with a wide selection of fresh, high-quality dishes to choose from. Whether you're a fan of local flavors or international favorites, there was something to please every palate. The food was consistently delicious, and the staff at the breakfast buffet were attentive and friendly. The location of Le Méridien is also ideal, offering easy access to local attractions and beautiful views of the sea. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, it’s the perfect place to stay in Kota Kinabalu. Overall, my experience was nothing short of fantastic, and I will definitely stay in this hotel again when I’m back in the area. The combination of excellent service, top-notch facilities, and stunning views makes Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu a true gem.

    “A Hotel Made Special by Genuine Care”

    Our stay at Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu from the 21st to the 25th December was made truly special because of three remarkable people — Roger, Anna, and Ivvy. From the very first day, their warmth, kindness, and genuine care stood out. Every interaction felt personal and sincere. that human connection is what stayed with us long after we left. Roger, Anna, and Ivvy have a rare way of making guests feel completely at ease, with a natural grace and attentiveness that cannot be taught. They took our hearts and turned a wonderful hotel stay into an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Our room was spacious and very comfortable, and the waterfront setting added a calm, relaxed feel to our days. The location is excellent everything is within easy walking distance, from the waterfront promenade to nearby cafés, restaurants, and local attractions, which made getting around effortless. Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu is a lovely place to stay, but it is the people who truly made the difference. We are deeply grateful to Roger, Anna, and Ivvy for the warmth they shared with us, and we would return simply because of them.

    “Worth it!😀 A great place to stay🏨”

    We had a fantastic stay at Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu — it was the perfect base for our family trip to Sabah! Traveling with 1 older children (ages 17), we were looking for somewhere comfortable, centrally located, and family-friendly — and this hotel delivered on all fronts. We booked a sea-view room, and the view was absolutely stunning — sunsets over the South China Sea were a highlight each evening. The room was modern, clean, and very spacious, with comfortable beds and enough room for all of us to relax after long days out. The air-conditioning was excellent (very welcome after hot afternoons!), and everything worked smoothly. The buffet breakfast was generous and we were given complimentary breakfast for our teenage girl. The waiter and waitress were so friendly and always like there to ask us if we need anything. Overall, If you’re visiting Kota Kinabalu with family — especially with older kids — we highly recommend Le Méridien. It combines convenience, comfort, and excellent service at a reasonable price. We’ll definitely stay here again on our next visit to Sabah!
