A+ Staff; Superb Cleanliness”
One of my favorite hotels in my SE Asia trip. The location was perfect, right on Gaya Street which is close to all the action. The Sunday market is just outside the hotel. The room was dust free and was cleaned every time we go out! Even twice a day on days we went out twice. You could go out to have lunch and come back to a clean room with new towels etc. Then go out for dinner and they'll clean your room again. It was amazing! I've never seen another hotel do that. They're really particular with cleanliness. Bathroom was PERFECT. Shower was amazing and toiletries were complete. One of my favorite things was the staff!!! I stayed there on the week of my birthday. I didn't tell any of them but they must have seen from my passport. Everyone greeted me Happy Birthday. It was a nice personal touch! I appreciate it. I definitely recommend Mandarin Hotel to everyone!!! I will surely stay again when I visit KK in the future!

Very nice hotel in Kota Kinabaru”
We stayed here for one night. It's our last night in KK, and we had a tour to Weston in the afternoon we checked in. We arrived at Mandarin Hotel at 1 pm and requested for leaving luggage first. Surprisingly, our room was ready so we could have early check-in. This is not routine but I felt we were lucky and we could have a break before our tour. On the next day, our flight was quite early so we needed to check out at around 4 am. The night shift staff was friendly and kindly helped us call a Grab car to the airport. In conclusion, this is a very nice and valuable hotel with clean and comfortable room and friendly staff. We will stay here again when we come to KK again.

Had a great stay here for 2 days. Staffs are nice and accommodating. We checked in super late like 2am and the staff were just there waiting for us. This hotel indeed is in a great location esp on sundays, there are Street market. Yay! The room is very clean altho a bit small but still good. Their T&B is also nice coz they have bidet and it’s also clean. All in all we had a great stay here.

The staff were exceptionally polite, helpful and friendly. Clean room, cosy, excellent location. Transport to airport only is FOC. Food, ATMs & banks (if you run out of cash) and souvenirs shops can be found along Jln Gaya. Sunday morning is liken to a festival along Jln Gaya when you can buy local products, food, vegetables, fruits, etc. You can surely find something you like. The restaurants open early for breakfast, too.

The room is a bit dark but very clean and free water, coffee and tea with kettle. The toilet was clogged but the staff were quick to rectify it. We took a grab taxi mos tif the time and cost us 4RM getting to places from where we were. There was a convenience store about 2 min walk and a coffee shop/mamak shop around the corner. Would stay here again.
