Hotels With Bar in Sabah, Malaysia

We had a lovely stay at The Luma Hotel. I instantly fell in live with their interior the moment I saw it on social media, more so when we got to experience staying in it. Apart from their impeccably well-thought of interior design, I also appreciate how accommodating their staffs were as well as how convenient the location of the hotel. Would definitely come back once I visit Kota Kinabalu

Very well located place, just next to jesselton harbor and Gaya Street. We had a problem in the first day because hour apartment with double bed wasn't available and we need to stay the first night in an apartment with twin beds and without wash machine (which was included on apartment booked). From second night we could move to the apartment booked. It was clean but is old and not so wellantained, the place also don't have enough equipments (we needed to ask for pan and pots, since the only one provided was unable to use, also wasn't provide enough cutlery). But the place is near to the most attractions by walking distance and have the essentials to stay for a short time.

Stayed for 2 nights Always to stay here rate wise depends, u could grab a great offer but unfortunately i didnt I stayed dueing ramadan, and had 2 sahoor but both servings are dissappointment, tasteless and i dont know Even try their iftar programme too, but hurmm sadly it was the same Silver linings is walking distance to Imago mall, 10min ehailing to airport The parking is free (first come first serve) Owh forgot about the room smell, smells draft abit Recommended hotel but need to step up on the culinaries.

I expected a great hotel stay and they delivered. All the staff were lovely. Thank you for that. My only issue is the lack of room information regarding what is available in the hotel. Normally I would expect marketing information and menus for restarunt and bar in the room. The TV does give room service menu but was not required. Fortunately we found Ben, the Concierge in the lobby who very kindly explained what we asked, and provided a map for the area. Very welcome. Thank you very much.

The hotel is directly opposite Welcome Seafood, and the mountain view room is quiet and comfortable. I had a really pleasant stay, highly recommend it! The hotel service is also excellent, attentive and thoughtful, making for a first-class experience. I definitely recommend staying here.

AMAZING!!!! The staff here! They are so unbelievably friendly and helpful. They truly made me feel so special and welcomed throughout my stay. Especially the ladies at breakfast and the guys at the door. I got the seaview room and that view was breathtaking! Front row seats to that sunset every day! The rooms are very clean and the beds and pillows are extremely comfortable, would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The rooftop bar also has the best view of the sunset in my opinion. Breakfast was great, too- so much choice!

Room is clean and well equipped. Free snack or iced tea available at a lobby. Famous restaurant is on the ground floor with 15% discount. However it opens late so not good for breakfast(or maybe closed due to holiday) nearby nothing. Only good if you have a car to explore.

1. This is, hands down, the best hotel for watching the sunset. Unlike other city hotels where islands to the west often block the view, the sunset here is largely unobstructed. If you're lucky, you'll witness a breathtaking sunset that will be unforgettable. 2. The hotel's cleanliness is impeccable. I didn't spot any trash while walking through the garden, and I could comfortably walk barefoot on the paths without feeling any debris. 3. Although the facilities are a bit dated due to the long time since the last renovation, the quality is still very good. During my stay, half of the hotel was undergoing renovations, which caused a slight inconvenience. 4. The service is absolutely top-notch, truly five-star quality. However, I must mention that there were unexpected hazards everywhere, which was a bit concerning.

The hotel's location is excellent, right on Gaya Street, making it super convenient for food, drinks, and exploring the Gaya Street Sunday night market. It's also close to the waterfront market, though we didn't visit the seafood market. Getting to Jesselton Point for island hopping is very easy from here. The only downside is that Tanjung Aru Beach is a bit far and traffic can be an issue when taking a taxi. I paid an extra 100 to book a sea-view room, and it was totally worth it – I could watch the sunrise and morning glow from bed. The room was also very spacious, the bed was comfortable, and overall, it offers great value for money!

Waiting for the boat at the pier, the staff member was really nice. He brought us chairs to sit on and even offered us water. Although I didn't catch his name, I really want to thank him! Upon arrival, the front desk was already there to greet us. Honestly, if your English isn't great, communication on the island can be a bit challenging, for instance, regarding the shower water, Wi-Fi, or power outages. They explained everything in great detail, and the next day, they even followed up to ask about the hot water – they truly care about guest satisfaction. Oh, and they upgraded us to a high-floor villa! We encountered two geckos and a small snake in the room, but the kids weren't scared at all because they knew they were harmless creatures. A super-sized cockroach crawled out of the drain in the bathroom, haha, my child watched it for ages. To be honest, considering it's in the mountains, maintaining it to this standard is quite impressive. It was a great experience, far from the city's hustle and bustle, allowing us to enjoy the charm of the ocean and the forest. We stayed in a high-floor villa and ordered room service for dinner. The delivery staff worked so hard, carrying the trays all the way to our room, and the food was still surprisingly hot, which really touched us. We gave them a small tip as a token of our appreciation for their efforts.
