Recent Reviews in Kota Kinabalu
Nice hotel in a humble neighbourhood.
The hotel is located right in the heart of town fronting the beach, surrounded by restaurants and ammenities. The localitlyl is so convenient. The rooms are very comfortable and has a high standard of cleanliness even though the facade of the hotel looks dated from afar. I observed that the ground floor has been extensively renovated and looks so much better than before when we last stayed a few years ago. The ocean view we had was spectacular. We will not hesitate to recommend this hotel to all our friends.
Nice hotel
Only stayed one night but over all hotel has had big improvements done since last time I visited Would stay again

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.
