Find Hotels in Sabah State, Malaysia

I booked to stay 1 night at the Promenade after I had travelled around Sabah for 5 nights. There were only the rooms on the Club Lounge floor available at the time of my booking. After checking in and upon entering our rooms, we realised the we had been given 2 single beds. We went back to the officer (Cennedie) who checked us in to request for a room with either a Queen or King sized bed. At that time, we then realised that it was my mistake during the booking, and that was why we were given a room with 2 single beds. Upon explaining to him that it was our last night of our honeymoon, without any hesitation, we were upgraded to a Suite! That was really wonderful. After our stay at the hotel, we decided to extend our stay in Sabah for a few more nights. Cennedie & the Concierge were extremely helpful in providing us with loads of information to places to visit. I will most most most definitely be returning to this hotel. Wonderful customer service!

I stayed at the Hotel Grandis for two nights with my family of four. We booked a deluxe family room and requested a higher-floor room. Our room was on 11/F with a side view of the ocean which was great. Make sure you request a higher- floor room 'coz you won't be able to get any views if you're at the lower floors as the hotel is right next to the Suria Sabah Mall. In fact, the address of the hotel is at the mall, which makes it really convenient for us to buy fruits and souvenirs from the supermarket as well as shopping. At least you got somewhere to go when there's a rainstorm. The Suria Sabah mall is a new, modern shopping arcade where you can find brand-name stores. Apart from being right next to the mall, it's also very close to the jetty/Jesselton Point. If you plan to go island hopping or join the Borneo Reef tour this hotel would be perfect for you 'coz it's only around 5 minutes walk from the hotel to both jetties. The room itself is very clean, spacious and modern. I'm impressed by the shower facilities. The bed and pillows are comfy too. One thing I would complain about is that there were only two glasses in the bathroom when it's a four-person family room. There's a swimming pool on the rooftop which gives fantastic view of the city and the ocean. Great for sunbathing and a dip. They also provide towels for rent. Too bad the weather wasn't too good during my stay. It is the perfect spot to watch a sunset. Staff were quite friendly and helpful, but definitely not too experienced. The worst part about this hotel would be the food. We ordered some drinks at the SkyBlu bar beside the pool and they really weren't up-to-standard. The mango lassi tasted watery and there's only a slight hint of mango. Breakfast was so-so, not particularly impressive. Overall it's a nice hotel value for money. I do recommend it for a short stay, as a resting place for your daytime adventures at sea! Do check out the rooftop pool!

Extremely pleased with my stay here. Reception staff was extremely friendly and helpful on all manners. It’s a fairly new hotel, hence everything else in a good condition. 5 min walking distance to jetty if you are planning for island hopping. There is a mall nearby known as Suria Sabah and down the road there is a street known as Gaya street. It’s a must to visit their Sunday market if you happened to spend you weekend in Sabah. Overall good stay, money well spent and I would love to come back again.

Sabah Beach Villas and Suites is always exceptional. The staff were once again very kind and accommodating. The housekeeping did a amazing job cleaning our room and accommodated our awkward schedule accordingly. We stayed in the same room as last year and all of the minor issues from the previous year had been fixed. The beach is right in front of the property and has some of the best sunsets in KK, in my opinion. The resort is a bit far from downtown, but there are plenty of Grab drivers waiting to take you anywhere you want. If you want a quiet place to relax and enjoy your holiday definitely book with Sabah Beach Villas and Suites. I can’t say enough good things about my stay. I hope to see you again soon.

during the period we stayed, is good, only transportation charges is more, because every time go out should take taxi, maybe can increase the shettle bus schedule time. about the SPA room, I think is better not only for massage, but also for facial, nail fresh, body spa, etc. then will be more better. anyway, I will promot to my friends, and next time visit SABAH, will stay again this hotel.

Very clesn, spacious rooms. Good facilities in rooms. Staff helpful. Nice steam room and jacuzzi. Shopping centre, atm next door. Breakfast - good. Buffet on Thursday night had nothing for vegetarians except rice and vegetables. Better on Friday night. This hotel has everything except its own pool. Staff told me clients can use one at Kumara Court. Good taxi service arranged by hotel to airport and Tawau Hills Park. Just one gripe - applies to the whole of Sabah outside kk. When will hotels and restaurants add the word vegetarian to their vocabulary? (I am vegan but that would be too much to ask) Many international guests are veggie and rice and vegetables is not adequate nutrition. Malaysian food could so easily lend itself to adaptation - satay sauce for example

It's been some time since I set foot in Kota Kinabalu and hubby decided that we go on a spontaneous weekend trip (15-17 July 2011) with our 8-year old daughter and our best friends (a couple) who were on their first trip to East Malaysia. No mountaineering and far-away parks, just food and short getaways and relaxation kinda trip. Hubby has stayed in Beverly before for his business trips and suggested this hotel to us. I am in the travel industry myself and has never stayed at this hotel. My friend was having her birthday on a Saturday and I wanted everything to go right. I read reviews on this hotel all over the Net and also called the Hotel to find out more information and details before I decided to book online (ours was a package tied with Air Asia while I booked theirs through Agoda as there was a big sale on rooms at that time and they could not get the same rate at the same time when I booked ours). I can't believe the amazing staff that they have at Beverly. Firstly, our flight was arriving early at 1025 and I requested for an early check-in a few days before our departure. No hassles, agreed instantly! Then, I asked if their rooms really had a view as I read all the differing comments in here. Since it was my friend's birthday and their first visit to Sabah, I said it was ok that my room was without a view but theirs was with as I wanted them to have a nice experience. And views we both got! The sunset views from our rooms were quite spectacular, actually! Secondly, we were on the 11th Floor and our rooms were upgraded to Deluxe (mine) and Junior Suite (my friends) without any extra charges. Rooms were clean and spacious. Thirdly, our check-in upon arrival was done quickly and efficiently by Ms Ann Marie, she was so friendly and very informative too. Despite Beverly not located smack in the middle of town, we had our own transport to move around so it was easy. Do give them a try! It's nice to wake up to smiles daily!

we made a great choice staying at the horizon hotel. it was in the heart of kk, a 10 minute walk from centrepoint sabah, suria sabah and restaurants like little italy, burger king and old town white coffee. we chose the city view as based on reviews, the seaview was blocked by the old post office. and lucky for us, the gaya christmas celebration was being held during our stay. so we had the perfect view from the 12th floor of the celebrations and fireworks. unfortunately when we checked in the only rooms available with a king size bed was on the smoking floor (both my husband and i are non-smokers). also upon check in, i requested for a prayer times schedule but it was never sent up to our room. we had to make do with our athan app on our smartphones. the bathroom door was also delaminating so made a complaint to the receptionist to send the maintenance staff to our room but was never sent up. room service was slow, took more than one hour for our food to be sent to the room. turned out they misheard the room number, or so according to the room service staff. also wished they had a proper trolley/table for them to send our food. it was delivered on a tray and we had to eat on separate tables. we also tried the spa at the hotel. affordable price for the treatments however cannot be charged to te room and bill was to be settled at the spa itself. all-in-all i'm very satisfied with the hotel and would not hesitate to stay here again on our next visit to kk.

I was impressed with the facilities of the hotel; comfortable beds, stunning swimming pool, great gym etc. this hotel also connected with an old shopping mall, you can get to find open-air halal restaurant but the food are quite pricey. there's nothing much shops in the shopping mall, mostly Malay fashion boutiques, shoes shops and handphone gadgets shop. It's a great stay there if you have your own transportation to travel around in sabah.

Went for a 4D3N trip at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Did alot of research while planning for the trip but seemed to be inadequate upon reaching. Pleasant surprise at the airport was the free shuttle service to the hotel thus saved RM40 :) Hotel was fantastic with a shopping mall beside it. But hotel indeed quite a distance from the city centre and taxi rides to city centre costs RM25 per trip and takes around 20 minutes. Shopping mall provides free shuttle service to city centre on hourly basis but limited seats. Ended up taking taxi most of the times. Novotel hotel is the best pick if prefer to rest and relax in the hotel.

Just wonder why this resort got quite low point for customer review.. the location is really superb.. this is the best location among other nearby floating resort.. the bedroom is spacious and clean.. very comfortable to rest at the balcony with a great view.. the food is extremely delicious.. they even send kueh to our room during minum petang when we are not there on time.. the only downside of this hotel is the bed n pillow.. budget hotel in semporna even has a better bed n pillow.. and dont expect u can jump off into the sea from your balcony like other nearby floating resort.. this is the only point that make me not to return to this resort.. i am looking for a floating resort that we can swim directly to the sea from our balcony.. at lato lato there is only one public entrance to enjoy the crystal clear water.. the same location with the boat entrance.. not really comfortable to swim when boats are going in and out.. hopefully lato lato will make more entrance direct to the sea.. nearby room 23 is a superb location to make an entrance into the sea.. i give 10 points for my review of staying here but i will not return here..on my next visit i will book nearby floating resort which we can jump off to the sea directly from our balcony.. that feature is a must have for a floating resort despite of any other facilities..

I had chosen Beringgis as a "do nothing" holiday, as the hotel is about 25km out of the city it was an ideal location for me. The staff could not have been more helpful, the beautiful reception girls were attentive to the finest detail, had good local knowledge and went beyond their hotel duties to help me with a few personal issues, e.g. making calls to hotels, arranging taxi services, advising on local attractions. They were simply very nice people. My room was small, but perfect for a solo traveler, with nice views over the hotel gardens. The breakfast, don't expect too much, if the hotel is busy the food disappears quite quickly and is not replenished. There is a girl who makes a very good omelette and there is some fresh fruit, the other cooked food did not look too appetizing. The hotel spa offers a range of massage services that are reasonably priced. The location of the hotel is directly on a beach, the beach is nice but there is a lot of litter (not the hotels fault). A walk to the left or right ends at a river mouth. The hotel offers a shuttle bus service costing 15MR each way to the city, however the last bus returning to the hotel leaves the city at 19:45, if you want to travel in and out of the city expect to pay anything between 60-80MR each way, that is expensive. If you are arriving via KK airport you can book a fixed rate taxi to the hotel costing 50MR. As of today's date 28/2/2015 don't book for the proboscis monkey tour, because there are no monkeys and don't book for the Pradas white water rafting because the train line is being serviced and the tour company will persuade you to go to an inferior destination. Do go to the waterfront, the new Novel building has lots of good restaurants, the Phillipine market has lots of cheap coffee, spices, souvenirs, if you barter, and the waterside restaurant serves huge tiger prawns, fresh fish, squid, etc for a reasonable price.

Sabah Hotel impresses me each time I stay this is the second time and fortunately we had a day off on the second day so we could relax by the pool after breakfast which was an extensive buffet with a seperate menu also available. We took one of the taxis from the hotel that works out of it after negotiating a very nice rate the day before to bring us to the POW Memorial Park for a couple of hours. When we arrived there my business companion left his valuable new video camera on the back seat and the taxi had driven off before he realized. With no way to contact the taxi we toured the very impressive gardens and museum and after about 30-40 minutes the taxi driver came walkin up the hill smiling with the camera in his hand. Returned it to my very grateful friend and went back to wait for us outside. Extremely good example of the Sabah locals and a credit to himself and the hotel he operates from, the Sabah Hotel Sandakan Malaysia. Jungle walking trails available from within the hotel grounds, gift shops and a great value for money Happy Hour add even more value to a wonderfully friendly and relaxing experience.

This hotel well exceeded my expectations. It is very nice and clean. Has a nice swimming pool and gym as well. The only drawback is its location. A bit far from the city center. However, the nice staff and good facilities well make up for this only one drawback. There is a kind of new small open mall (or business area) located next door called "Metro Town". Got a few eateries there. Not bad! The closest shopping mall is City Mall with a Giant Supermarket is also well worth a visit. Anyways, I will definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip back to Sabah.

This is the best hotel that we've stayed during our KK trip (We changed 5 hotels in 7 nights!)... The room rate was reasonable, room was big and it comes with welcome drinks, ABFs, shuttle service to shopping malls, etc. We booked a standard room without window, but the reception staff upgraded us to a standard room with window upon our request! It was a special experience as this was the first time we got a room at basement level (same level as the facilities like event halls, swimming pool, gym, etc. The room is equipped with toiletries like toothbrush sets, etc which were all so convenient for our stay! Once we hopped on the shuttle service, we asked if the driver could drop us at Gaya Street Market (on Sundays only) which was not on the designated route of the shuttle service and he agreed! Their service standard is as good as a five star hotel, very personalised indeed! A minor con would be the location. It's up a hill and the only walking distance attraction would be the Karamunsing Mall which is about 5-10mins walk (where you'll find Giant hypermarket, Oldtown Cafe, etc). If you're going to places other than the shuttle service points, then it would be good to rent a car to commute around town.

Cleanliness is very important. The place still new so perhaps no problem with the clealiness. Thank you to agoda for offering a very cheap rates for me. I've to cancel from other Online agent due to Price issue. I paid less what i expected. I will definately use Agoda for future booking. Friendly staff and very efficient. I called many times but the person ( IAN ) are very patient towards answering my questions. Keep it up.....

Pros: Security guards everywhere, restaurants nearby, fast wifi, TV channel is clear compare to some that offered the same price, ample parking spaces and are still free, close to the city Cons: Aeropods still not fully construted. Gateway to the parking place is sometimes close, have to move around and pass the gravel before we can get into the building. The only rundown is, if you want to get to the city, or Tg Aru, the u-turn is very far off. We have to wait for the fly over to be finished where the u-turn is much closer. Additional info, I don't like the woman at the counter in Hameed Maju restaurant, don't show ur angry face to your customer, very irritating(not related to Haruka's obviously) But it is still a great place to stay.

Everything is great with this apartment. Free access to private parking, high speed internet, clean environment, and good staff/host. Checkin/out process is easy since it is self checkin/out. The apartment is close to the pool, if you have small children trying to sleep the people at the pool can be loud. It's not so much problem for us. On the good side, the pool looks really nice from the bedroom because it looks like stars sparkling in the water.

Stephen and his wife were great in ensuring we had a good stay. The apartment was very cosy and comfortable. Kids loved the pool and their beds. Amenities were a walk away. The pool had an OK view of the sunset (not full sunset though). Many thanks to Stephen's family for a wonderful holiday. Hope to be back again for Kundasang, KK and Eastern Sabah... Would recommend this cosy studio apartment for those that have plans to walk around KK town . Stephen was very detailed and helpful with everything! (Ie checking in, recommended places nearby and etc). Unfortunately, my stay was such a short one and would love to come back and highly recommended to everyone.

I initially booked for a service apartment in Likas area but cancelled it for Hood Borneo instead. I took the private room which ia good for 2 people (but still big enough for 2) with a huge restroom as well. Conveniently located at heart of the city (Jalan Pantai) just parallel to Jalan Gaya. Just a few meters away from the bus stop for buses coming from KK. Hotel staff were nice esp Faris. I would come back here and recommend the place to friends and relatives.

It’s affordable place, close to hosp likas and UMS. Place is clean but can get dirty if somehow you end up staying with a sloppy tenant at the same time. Not sure how strict the owner is because the place is no smoking but somehow there’s other tenant casually smoke in living room. There’s few CCTV in the house. During my booking i notice that there’s a lot of accomodation not made available such as toiletries and towel. It’s quite shocking that there’s no blanket prepared as well which i think was not mentioned. Basically you get what u paid for.
