    Good location and best hotel! ”

    Me and my husband was really enjoyed stayed there. What can I say, the location I think is good because not too far from shopping mall like imago, karamunsing and centre point. The room also clean and comfortable. Actually, when we enter to the room, I was checked no towel. It was afternoon already around maybe 5 pm - 6pm..I call hskp service and I not asking his name but he is really good staff and polite.I want to thank you for his services. So far, the breakfast menu is good and delicious and during we want to check out, there are few staff in the lobby and they are friendly. Thank you Sabah Oriental Hotel for the hospitality. Definitely will come again and recommend this hotel.

    I recommend! ”

    I recommend! Reason for the 4 star for the facilities is that the gym is barely accessible, but who likes to work out when you're on holiday anyway. You would have to go through a few doors and corridors to find it. The pool was good and offered great views especially for sunset, but the hotel doesn't offer pool towel services, which is not a huge deal breaker! There are two pools. A kids pool and deeper pool for adults. Some of the facilities in the hotel room are quite run down but don't affect the functionality (ie. rusted/stained bath tub). But note this was just my room so this will differ per room. The hotel is located very well! I went to the night markets by the plaza plenty of times and they had delicious and cheap food and drinks. There's plenty of malls around, IMAGO is the closest. The staff are lovely and super helpful and friendly. They will say hi and smile/wave when you enter the lobby! The breakfast options were enough and delicious. Very comfortable and warm atmosphere. Overall, my stay was comfortable and pleasant. I would go back again!

    Great Stay, Some Room for Improvement”

    I had a great stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, with easy access to nearby attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with excellent housekeeping services. The bathroom was well-maintained and provided all necessary amenities. However, the facilities could use some improvement, particularly the pool and Wi-Fi. Overall, it was a good value for money and I would recommend it for a convenient and comfortable stay.

    Cheap Nice Hotel”

    This hotel is really cheap but the room is spacious and is comfortable to stay. However, there are a few not so good things about this hotel. For example, there is no shower curtains in the bath. Hair dryer and toothbrush are not provided unless requested. There are multiple times I need to call the front desk to get new towels. Currently, the fitness centre is under maintenance and the pool water is green looks unclean after a few days. However, given the price, I'd say it's a good stay. They provide free water every day. They also have a good breakfast buffet. Even though the food selection is repeated every 2 days and is quite limited. The taste is good. Breakfast starts at 6:30 and so I have enough time to eat and go for the activities afterwards.

    Repeatable Hotel”

    Sabah Oriental Hotel (SOH) shall be the hotel that I'll be staying in be it for leisure, relax, or just to do work. 1. Hotel breakfast is decent. Not the best, but still within the top for hotel breakfast I've experienced. 2. Hotel location away from main road. Thus the noisy traffic wont disturb you at night. 3. Staff super friendly and helpful. 4. Hotel are clean. 5. Room facilities decent and clean. Suitable to do work. However, there are dissapointing things that I've encountered and quite sad it is not being improved. 1. Hotel sauna not functioning and under maintenance since my 1st stay and the gap was several month. 2. Gym facilities mostly broken (but considered okay since no one using it I guess. But I use it cause I was stressed) 3. Swimming pool is a bit yucky. But overall, the hotel is worth the money and I'll be coming over again in the future.
