Recent Reviews in Kota Kinabalu
Nice spacious rooms
The room was really spacious and modern with a comfy bed. The bathroom was nice but not very well designed - u had to be standing under the shower to reach the taps to turn it on which meant u got soaked if you tried turning it on before getting undressed, and a glass wall separates the shower from the bedroom so for some privacy there is a blind which has mould stains from being in the shower. Other than that it was really nice. Breakfast was great, so much variety and it all tasted good. The staff were nice. The computer printing and scanning facilities in the foyer turned out to be really handy (don't think we would've noticed them normally but we ended up needing them). The pool area looked nice, we didn't have time to use it though. The gym was super basic! The mall the hotel is attached too was really average though, there was only a handful of western fashion shops.
Good hotel
Some renovation taking place during our stay meant that areas were closed.

About Kota Kinabalu
The built environment of Kota Kinabalu is also intriguing. From the bustling Chinatown to the state museums, religious structures and old colonial landmarks that dot the city, KK is bursting with architectural highlights.
Several parks make fantastic places for tourists to explore. Kids will fall in love with the water park at Tun Fuad Park, which is located just 15 minutes from the downtown area. South of KK is Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. This magnificent zoological reserve contains a host of local and international animal species, making it great for the whole family.
Restaurants and Bars
One of the city’s most important features is its wide culinary culture. There are plenty of international influences to accompany local Malay cuisine, including Indian Chinese, European and even Western. Tourists are advised to try the kedai kopi buffet chain, which offers plenty of local specialities. For a true KK experience, dining along the seafront at one of the make-shift stalls is recommended. Of course, for a grander experience, eating along the pier is a must. After hours, the best places to enjoy a drink are the Waterfront and Times Square. However, bars and clubs can be found along Beach Street and Jalan Datuk Salleh Sulong.
Shopping in Kota Kinabalu
Several major shopping malls reside within Kota Kinabalu, so shopaholics will feel satisfied. Centre Point Sabah, 1Borneo Hypermall and Suria Sabah are the largest and most visited retail department stores in the city. Of course, the Handicraft Market is also quite popular, offering pearls, crystals, hand-made crafts and other lovely souvenir options.
