The location is convenient; there's a local diner (cha chaan teng) downstairs, along with a 24-hour Seven Eleven and a buy-one-get-one-free Apple Mini Mart. It's also close to the Big Gala Seafood Restaurant, and there's a McDonald's, KFC, and a Center World shopping mall nearby. The hotel service is great too. Definitely worth staying here.

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.

The air conditioning in the room wasn't working, so it was too hot. Otherwise, everything else was great, and it was good value for money.

The hotel is right in KK Square, making it super convenient for food, drinks, and shopping. However, the room was a bit dark, the bathroom was small, and the pillowcases weren't clean. Other than that, everything else was fine.

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.

On the day we stay in the hotel, the staff actually only provide one towel in the bathroom. Bad experience happened while my daughter took her shower, as she only realised that, the shower get/ shampoo container was empty. We had to inform the service staff about these, and waited for quite awhile as the storeroom staff was not available right that moment. They do apologies to us.

Had a very satisfied stay at Pantai Inn Hotel. The location is very strategic with easy access to many facilities, eateries, night market, and the famous Gaya Street Sunday Market. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bed was very comfy which made us sleep well after a long day. Staff were friendly and helpful too. Overall, a pleasant and convenient stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

TTom EvtimovOne of the best solution for quit hotel outside of city if you have or rent car. The room is huge, all is new and very comfortable. The stuff is great and friendly. Also there is restaurant inside and supermarket near. Laundry machines 10 meters near hotel. Highly recommend to stay for visiting many Sabah places - 1 hour for mount Kinabalu, 1 hour Kota Marudu, 30 min to river cruises, from 15 min Kota Belud, and 1 hour for KK if you want go there (don’t know for what).
Definitely great hotel for families or couples with romantic view and the best price 👍

MMindelaiThe hotel is a very beautiful and charming place.
I booked this room mainly because can see the stunning Golden Mountain view directly at dawn.
It gets quite cold at night, and the mornings are pleasantly cool.
The restaurant food is good, and the staff are friendly and helpful.
The only downsides are that there are a few insects at the mountaintop, which is understandable, and the soundproofing of the room isn’t great—after 10 p.m., noise from people outside can still be heard clearly.

HHernandoI loved this hotel; I thought it was the best in the area. The food is good. It's very close to the orangutan activities and the Rainforest Discovery Center.
August is the most popular time of year, so all the private cabins were already booked. Only the 6-bed shared rooms were left, but I still decided to stay here because the hotel is so beautiful. In the end, there were only 3 of us in the room. The walk to the room is on an elevated dock, full of trees and flowers. You pass by all the chalets, and it's very pleasant.
You feel like you're in the middle of the jungle at all times. The only detail I didn't like is that the pool is very dirty, full of floating moss.

ZZuralengThe room is okay for a small family. However, it’s not very suitable for those who are sensitive to noise because the room is not really soundproof — you can even hear the person next door showering 😂. But overall, the room is still okay and comfortable for our stay.

GGuest UserIt should be a nice place, with a huge garden, but all the board walks are made with cheap looking wood imitation.
You feel more like disney land.
The houses and rooms are poorly sound proofed, every room is on a long floor and everybody is passing through, kids shouting and screaming and parents screaming in their cellphones. Then people are not used to close doors quietly, its banging 24 hours.
Its very much noise made by humans for a jungle resort.
The service is good and the rooms are in a good condition, just it should be more light by the sink in the room.

AAnonymous UserThe location is quite convenient, and there is ample free parking available. The outdoor environment is pleasant, well-maintained, and clean, making it a nice place to relax. There is also a BBQ pit provided, although guests need to bring their own utensils and ingredients.
One downside is that there is no refrigerator in the room. The bed makes some slight noise, but it is still acceptable for a short stay. The room also comes with a small balcony, which is great for enjoying the night view.
Check-in and check-out are quick and hassle-free. An ironing board is available at the reception area, and a hairdryer can be borrowed upon request.
Overall, considering the price, it offers very good value for money.

AAnonymous UserThe hotel was very clean and smelled nice.. Only the staff's attitude was bad. Please improve your reception, the hotel is great, but with staff like that, the business won't go anywhere. I called earlier, and the staff told me the room was on the 2nd floor, but when I arrived, it was on the 3rd floor. I have asthma, and having to climb stairs to the 3rd floor felt like a complete lie. When I asked, the staff answered rudely. At that time, it was a male staff member on duty!

GGuest UserThis place offers unbeatable value for money. Less than 61 yuan a day, plus a generous breakfast (which is free!), and simple seafood dishes. The staff is excellent, always smiling. I'll definitely book here again next time I'm in Semporna. They offer free coffee and tea, and the air conditioning is on 24 hours a day.
