Kota Kinabalu City Center
I really enjoyed staying at cititel. The hotel is close to the food market, business area. So we can find various food around the hotel. They don't prepare a jug of boiling water, but we can use the dispenser near the lift.
Wayn Zen Rose Cabin
4/529 Reviews
You can see the mountain from the room balcony. Will surely come back to enjoy that view again. Room was clean. The bathroom is outside (next to the balcony), so at night when you want to bath, bugs and moths will be everywhere.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hotel that exceeded my expectations in multiple ways. I was there for a week-long work trip and chose this hotel based on its competitive rates and promising reviews. I must say, my experience was nothing short of delightful, and I’m eager to share my thoughts. First and foremost, the room itself was incredibly spacious, which made my stay very comfortable. It’s rare to find such ample space in a hotel room at this price point, and it truly set the tone for a relaxing and productive week. The room was well-appointed, with all the necessary amenities to ensure a pleasant stay. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, allowing me to rest well after long days of meetings. One of the highlights of my room was the stunning view it offered. From my window, I had a clear view of the sea, which was both calming and inspiring. Additionally, I could see Suria Mall, a convenient location for shopping and dining. Waking up to such a beautiful sight each day was invigorating and added a touch of luxury to my stay.

There are plenty of dining options nearby, and it gave me the opportunity to explore local cafes and restaurants.

The hotel delivered on all fronts, offering comfort, convenience, and excellent service. I have no regrets about choosing this hotel for my work trip, and it has certainly set a high standard for my future travels.

Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu
4.4/51746 Reviews
Kota Kinabalu City Center
Very clean and new. Looks like being renovated. Came here for seminar as the talk is organized inside the hotel. The location is good as it is in the center of the city. Service is good except that check in counter only have 2 and average waiting time is about 30 minutes for check in. However, maybe due to the hotel is full, our rooms are not ready when we check in at 3pm. But the hotel upgrade our room to another available unit which we will give a credit to the hotel. Breakfast is good and many variety, only the structure of the dining area is very inconvenient as the dining area too small and many corners which is not convenient to obtain the food especially for the beverage counter. The dining que line is too long due to the location where both the coffee machine are too close to each other and doesn’t not have any turning point and the coffee machine is very very slow. Suggest to change to a bigger dining area as the dining area cannot fit the number of customers especially for a seminar of 200+ people and refill is slow and we only have 1 hour lunch time where queing for food already took almost half an hour. Other than the above, I am satisfied with the hotel.
Coco Scuba Inn Semporna 2
3.8/525 Reviews
It was my first time to experience a water house. The slide went directly into the sea. It was very interesting. Service: The hotel's arrangements are in place and they can help you solve any problems you have. We booked a charter boat for snorkeling for two people. The instructor is also very professional and will dive to the bottom of the sea to help you catch the fish from the bottom of the sea. Facilities: As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't wait to experience the slide. At first, I was worried that I would sink into the sea if I slid down. There are life jackets at the front desk, so there is no need to worry. Free dinner: The dishes are very rich, the chicken is very tender, the crabs are also very fresh, there is crab roe in it, you can’t get enough of the shrimps
Hyatt Regency Kinabalu
4.5/5811 Reviews
Kota Kinabalu City Center
The location is very convenient to most of the good eating outlets. Also in a prime location to major shopping malls, seaside and Harbour port to go out for islands hopping. We chose a sea view facing room and the view was magnificent. Also remember to go the beach for a beautiful sunset view. Will definitely choose to stay here again
Langkah Syabas Beach Resort
4.4/528 Reviews
What a great, relaxing place this is! We booked our room by sending them a message in WhatsApp and had no issues. The location is around 15 km south from Kota Kinabalu airport which is great, because you get away from all the traffic noise of the city. You can hear the planes every now and then, but it is nothing like the noise in the KK center. For us the quiet surroundings were the really big thing. There are just a few sea view rooms and even when there were other customers, it was still peaceful and quiet. Sea view rooms have their own pool so most of the time it felt like having an own private pool just for us. The staff is friendly and helpful. They helped us to organise our next destination and also gave a hand when one of us got sick and needed to see a doctor. Their laundry service is great too: we gave a huge bag of laundry to them in the morning and got clean clothes back on the same day. Liza, the owner, is such a great personality and we had a great opportunity to taste a potential new sparkling wine with her. The restaurant is spacious with lovely view to the big yard and to the ocean. We liked their buffet breakfast, but on the last two morning they switched it to à la carte. For us it didn’t make a huge difference, because the food was plenty. It was pretty much the same as the buffet options but served to the table. The dinner menu has more western options than typical Malaysian restaurants. We tried spaghetti, lasagne and fish and enjoyed them all, but at the same time wished more local options. They do have surprisingly good selection of wines from all over the world. In addition to a few glasses of house wine, we ended up enjoying a bottle of Italian pinot grigio on the Valentine’s Day dinner.

The restaurant is relatively expensive compared to typical street food joints. Luckily, there is a really good local restaurant just a short walk away and we ended up eating there our last dinners. The Palm Square shopping area is just a quick Grab drive away and there you can find more local restaurants. Getting there costs 5 ringgits. Sea view rooms are clean and spacious. Shower has warm water, but sometimes it took a while to get it. Water pressure was weak but we managed with it. It is a really nice bonus that the pool is just few meters away from the room. Each room has their own decked terrace with a fan and two sunbeds. Like other have mentioned, there is a beach but it is not very good. They clean it, but the trash from the ocean piles up anyway. Annoying fact that affects so many beaches in Sabah. We spent five nights here and really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!
SKY Water Villas
4.3/5129 Reviews
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sky Water Villa in Semporna. The villa is beautifully designed and impeccably clean. The king sized bed was comfortable, ensuring restful nights under the stars. One of the highlights of the stay was the all-inclusive buffet dining, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. The afternoon tea with snacks was a lovely touch, providing a perfect mid day treat after our island hopping and snorkeling or hiking. Free wifi available at the restaurant and lobby area. The staff were exceptional, friendly and accomodating. A standout feature was the free use of snorkeling equipment and life jackets. Although the area around the villa does not feature coral reefs, the sand bank during low tide is a unique experience. It's a perfect spot for a leisurely walk and to observe the stunning starfish scattered across the shallow water. During snorkeling, we also spotted some sea turtles, some colourful fish and even swordfish. The reef is only near the jetty area which is very deep and has strong current. We had a relaxing and wonderful time living over the ocean with a touch of adventure. Highly recommended!
