Breakfast”
Well did not enjoy the breakfast ...by the time we were there at 9am mots of the food is not available. On the first for breakfast the fish curry it has a funny taste. Informed the cook and request why there is no chicken for nasi lemak.. But later he provide the the chicken.
Value for money”
Pros Value for money with best facilities Workout at gym and my children went for swimming . Cons Parking machine still not function but guest have to take the manual ticket which is very inconvenience.
Overall excellent with minor (not so much of an) issues”
Its a proper hotel that's for sure. 1. Value for money, yes, no doubt about this. 2. Location is great, that is if you have your own transport. Its just opposite the new KK Times Square mall BUT you can't really get there on foot as the nearest crossing is some distance away. You can always catch a cab which is an abundant of them waiting at the front entrance all day long. Its near the airport, the beach and its only 5-10 mins drive to the town centre. 3. Cleanliness is good too. 4. Its a bit noisy when there are other guests at the corridor chatting away how their day went. 5. Breakfast is great too. Its really really complete with tonnes of choices. Its probably due to because the hotel has a high occupancy rate.
Thank you for taking your time to review on our property. It is very heartwarming to know that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are very delighted and thankful for all the comments and compliments that you have given. We will continue to improve to serve better. Hope that you will still choose to stay with us next time you visit Kota Kinabalu.
Nice hotel with small investment”
First of all, the rate is extremely low, compare to others. Eventhough there is some problem at first with online booking, the staff kept updating me. The breakfast is so-so with combination of Malay Chinese Western and some korean food. Highly recommended.!!👍
Excellent Stay, Free Parking, Comfortable Room”
Love this hotel. The room is equipped with an iron, and when we requested for a prayer mat, it was swiftly sent up. Bed was very comfortable. Love that it had free parking. Imago just nearby (but not walkable)!
nice hotel ”
overall is fine but a bit far from city centri. hotel provide free shuttle service to city centri but only operate from 10am to 7pm, we have to spend RM15 for taxi to city centre for 1 trip, thro and flow is RM30, if you added all taxi fares best pay higher to the hotel located at city centre.
Wonderful”
The design of the room is perfect for business trip. I can have a short meeting at the living room in my room at noon and do some paper work in a very peaceful condition at night. Thank you for giving me a good stay at Kota Kinabalu.
good and relaxing”
good and very relaxing.They served with a very varienty brrakfast with choices of salad bread pastry etc.but it will be better if they can add on ala carte menu on breakfast choices. Maybe some french toast or omellete will be much better. Anyway it is still a plesent stay I had at Ming Garden Hotel. Thank you so much for the lovely stay.
Lovely hotel ”
i would recommend ming garden to everyone, the staff are helpful and friendly, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the meals are lovely and the shuttle bus into the city is a great service too. the hotel is very quiet and it is so easy to get transport if you need it. ming garden was so good, we stayed twice in a week, once on our return from a wildlife tour. go on, spoil yourself.
lovely hotel with great food”
The hotel is at the location which is not too far from the airport and also from the town area. The hotel staffs are very friendly and helpful. There is a shuttle service from the hotel to the city. The room is very clean and spacious.
Used to frequent patron of the hotel”
But this time round, though we managed to get the offer price for the deluxe suite, the arrangement was quite confusing for the hotel, Agoda and us. Thankfully, we still got what we wanted so ya...
Excellent”
{ love the location of the hotel as it gives me easy access to food n ATM. The room itself is satisfactory in size and cleanliness for the value. The parking space is very good.

Not value for money”
receptionist unable to handle client. Luckily theres a manager in duty which is able to handle my situation that day. The only thing i appreciate is the manager’s urgency. Breakfast was okay. My room was not being cleant during my stay. Not sure the cleaner on duty simply missed out cleaning my room 2 days in a row. Not recommended for business traveller. Dont even have a simple printing service.
Exceptional Service”
Booked the normal room with 1 Double Bed, no Breakfast option (can't remember the room type though) but unfortunately when we arrived in the evening, only the rooms with 2 single bed option were available. Reception staff immediately gave us a complimentary upgrade to Junior Suite (still no Breakfast option but we never wanted that anyway) on the spot. This hotel has always been a favourite and this exceptional service just adds to the reason of why we love staying here.
Really enjoyed staying at this hotel”
We enjoyed staying at this hotel close to the shopping mall Imago,staff were really helpful,Manager was awesome who really helped us.When we arrived we were given superior room even though we booked deluxe room but later staff helped us and gave us really good room.Breakfast was good with variety of food.Only thing needs to be consider is swimming pool is outside and water was bit cold to swim .Other then that my family really enjoyed staying at this hotel and recommend to my friends.Cheap and best with really good bunch of staff.
Service is very bad”
Whole day never have room house keeping. 2nd reminder at 6.45pm when i going out for dinner but once i back around 10pm found the room without any house keeping. Required again remimder only house keeping start and required to wait at lobby about 30mins to clean your room. Location heavy jam.
Some service and facilities need to improve”
No room (Deluxe Residence) available as per booking. Hotel offerring me with Junior Suite as replacement without extra charges. Unfortunately when we try to enter the room,there have other pupil inside it..it was suprised my access card can open the door..luckly the pupil lock the door with the chain..suggestion if management can upgrade the system to avoid the incident happen again.
