I arrived at 9 AM and was immediately checked in. After a good sleep, I headed out to explore. No deposit was required, which was a nice touch. The staff were all smiles and made me feel right at home. Next time I'm in Kota Kinabalu, I'll definitely choose this place again. The privacy is excellent, and the capsule rooms are great. It's also conveniently located near the Central Market and Gaya Street, making it easy to get around.

Had an excellent experience of staycation at Hotel 7 Suria. We requested bed deco for my daughter’s birthday and they did it amazingly ❤️❤️ Very good service from this hotel. Room is spacious with good amenities. Breakfast was ok and good too. Will come here again when we come to KK. Keep up the good job! ❤️

This hostel is centrally located in Semporna town, surrounded by several large supermarkets and restaurants. It's a 5-minute walk to the mosque, an 8-minute walk to the Marine Visitor Centre, and a 7-minute walk to Watsons. The hostel reception offers island hopping day trips and carpooling services to Tawau Airport. The owner and staff are patient and helpful in answering travel inquiries. The owner speaks Chinese, so communication was easy, and they helped resolve many travel-related issues. A simple breakfast is provided; although it only includes fried noodles, bread, and coffee, it's enough to fill you up. You can't expect too much, considering it's a budget hostel. Cleanliness is a plus. Overall, the accommodation was quite good and worth recommending. 😊👍

I booked Margo hotel for groomsmen, bridesmaids and friends. It was perfect for solo travelers and a simple stay. Location is great and the rooms are exactly what you want; a soft clean bed, a bathroom, and safe lock. The only problem was the service, the front desk is closed until 9am so checking in early after an early flight is impossible. Checking out can be confusing too. Without anyone around to help out you will need to be clever and worldly to get what you need. So this place is ideal for solo travelers and simple trips.

My trip to Kota Kinabalu was unplanned and I bought my tickets only two days before flying. With such a last minute plan, I decided not to spend much on accommodation. I looked through a few hostel options online and this one stood out mainly because of its central location, so I went ahead and booked it. The hostel is very easy to locate. Just follow the signs and you will find it without any issue. It is on the first floor, which means you only need to go one level up from the ground. When I arrived, the staff were friendly and check in was fast. The same can be said about check out. Everything was simple. The bed was okay and quite standard for hostel stays. My bed was comfortable enough, had a window and came with a charging port which made things convenient. The bathroom was also fine. I only wish guests, especially ladies, would throw their hair into the dustbin instead of leaving it on the wall. It would make the bathroom nicer for everyone. All in all, it was a reasonable stay and matched what I expected for the price. Everything was generally good and okay.

When I first saw the reviews, I genuinely was so worried.. but upon arrival, it wasn't as bad. Parking was a bit hard to find around the area since it was a jokey parking.. a lot of shops, massage parlours & restaurants around. Located in the middle of Centre Point, Imago & Suria Sabah so we went to all three places LOL Cleanliness wise, the toilet is pretty decent, had a few bugs around though. On the first night, we had no problems with baby cockroaches but on day 2 & day 3, there were like 3 baby cockroaches roaming around 💔 Bed had stains on them, room was small & they have no refrigerators in case you need a place for cold stuff. Uhh all in all, I'd say it was a 6/10. Cheap & affordable but comes with downsides

The room was spacious enough for my 8 year old and me, love the minimalist design and layout. Iron, hairdryer, heater, water bottles, WIFI, mini smart TV (though YouTube was sometimes disconnected) and basic toiletries were provided. Bedding was quite comfy. However, I noticed that the inside of the air conditioner was a bit moldy and the bathroom wall also. I think the hotel should do some maintenance/inspection on the smudgy iron board cloth and rusty bathroom door. It was just a small matter, we still enjoyed our stay (the price justified our experience). Plus the reception was fast and friendly too. ❤️ Overall personal rating is 8.5/10. Recommended, we'll stay again here if we wanted to do an all out Imago-shopping. 😚😂

No regrets staying here and travelling out 40mins each morning to where we need to be. 1 yr old Inn is clean and staff are friendly and served well. Clean room, breakfast is made to order (select from set). View is amazing. Only downsize is that early in the morning, you can hear the cars running up and down the bypass if your room faces the main road. Comfortable stay and will choose to stay again in future. There is a convenience store, laundromat and even ATM and cafe at the Inn.

During my stay, I faced an issue with the door key not functioning properly, which caused some inconvenience. However, I truly appreciate the hotel management’s swift and urgent response to rectify the problem. The General Manager personally ensured the matter was resolved quickly, reflecting strong commitment to guest satisfaction. While the incident was unexpected, the professionalism and efficiency shown in handling it left a positive impression and reassured me of the hotel’s dedication to service quality.

I was there for Christmas Eve. Welcome was super warm and the staffs are very friendly and helpful. I stayed at the dormitory. Which was very affordable for the superb service they give. Its about 1+ KM to BSBCC & Orang Utan Conservation Centre. If you need a quiet & relaxing place, now you know where to go!

Sure! Here's a **single, concise review** of a vacation at **Kundasang Mount Garden**: --- **”A peaceful mountain escape with stunning views”** I stayed at Kundasang Mount Garden for a short getaway, and it was a refreshing break from city life. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking—Mount Kinabalu right in view, misty mornings, and cool, crisp air all day. The room was clean, spacious, and had everything I needed, including a small kitchen and private balcony. The garden outside is lovely, with flowers, vegetables, and even a little stream. It’s very quiet and perfect for relaxing. However, getting there was a bit tricky—the road is narrow and steep, so I’d recommend using a 4WD. Also, the hot water was a bit unreliable
