"I booked this hotel for my sister while she was visiting our mum at the hospital, which is just a 3-minute walk away. It’s also within easy walking distance to nearby cafés and restaurants. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the rooms are very clean and neat. The only small issue was that there was no soap for the shower, but that was easily fixed. Overall, it’s a great place to stay."

Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel

Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good
"A good choice for an overnight stay with all the facilities you'd expect from this hotel. Good location just away from the port but within walking distance of bars/restaurants on the front. The infinity pool was lovely overlooking the islands - however there was limited pool furniture and only 3 parasols which was an issue. We enjoyed cocktails on the rooftop terrace watching the sunset. Pity this isn't open during the day as the food offered would have been most welcome for lunch. Staff were lovely and reactive. "
