Environment: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Facilities: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This Greenvine Hotel truly exceeded my expectations! The hygiene was impeccable; the room was spotless, with attention paid even to the smallest details. The stylish design of the environment was instantly relaxing upon entry, with greenery and artistic decorations everywhere – perfect for photos. Both the front desk and room service were incredibly thoughtful and responsive, always quick to help. The room facilities were brand new, the bedding was comfortable, making for a very reassuring stay. As a design hotel under Marriott Bonvoy, both the hardware and service were absolutely on point. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates quality! They helped with luggage right upon arrival, very efficient.

My stay at Hilton Kota Kinabalu was professional and comfortable overall, balancing business efficiency with a holiday atmosphere. It's a very mature and reliable upscale hotel option in the city center of Sabah. 📍 **Location** The hotel is located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, with convenient transportation. It's about a 15-minute drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport, and surrounded by a wide range of restaurants, shopping malls, and banks. It's very convenient for accessing the waterfront and major business districts, making it suitable for business trips and short stays. 🛏️ **Room Experience** The room design continues Hilton's consistent modern business style, with a well-planned layout. The bedding is very comfortable, and soundproofing is excellent. The room's cleanliness and maintenance are kept at a high standard, effectively alleviating travel fatigue. 🍽️ **Dining & Executive Lounge** The breakfast offers a rich variety of options, combining Chinese and Western cuisine, with efficient service. The Executive Lounge provides a quiet and private environment, suitable for business meetings or brief work. In the evenings, it offers light meals and drinks, providing a professional and orderly experience overall. 🏊 **Facilities** The hotel is equipped with a gym and an outdoor swimming pool, both well-maintained. The pool area offers expansive views, balancing urban scenery with a relaxing experience, perfect for a short break during a busy itinerary. 🤝 **Service Experience** The front desk and service staff are highly professional overall, with smooth communication and seamless English service. Their timely responses reflect the mature service system of an international chain hotel. ✅ **Overall Review** Hilton Kota Kinabalu is highly suitable for: • Business travel • Company hospitality • Mid-to-high-end guests • Trips requiring stable accommodation and service standards The overall stay experience was solid and dependable, making it one of the hotels in Kota Kinabalu worth long-term partnership and recommendation.

The location is fantastic, very close to Jesselton Point,銘刻旅行社 (Mingke Travel Agency), Gaya Street, and Suria Sabah shopping mall. It's super convenient for shopping and island hopping. The hotel itself is quite new, with a stylish design and layout, attracting a lot of younger guests. Breakfast is excellent – plentiful, exquisite, and high-quality. You can even enjoy it on the outdoor terrace with direct sea views, which is a real bonus. The pool isn't huge; it's a long, narrow shape, but you still get to enjoy the sea view from there. My only minor complaints are that they don't provide complimentary bottled water that you can take out (only glass bottles for in-room use), and the lobby on the first floor is a bit small.

Generally ok. Spacious room. They provide clean towels, shower caps and sanitary bag. A roll of toilet tissue. Diluted hand soap. Iron, iron board and hair dryer. Spacious wardrobe. A safe box. 2 small bottle of drinking water. Can refill drinking water at the buffet area. The best part: free parking. Need to bring your own shampoo and shower gel. The hand soap is very diluted , I think they mixed it with water. The AC inside the room is leaking and got loud noise if the fan in high speed. The floor is a bit dusty. No slippers provided. And the shower area got mold. The sofa got old stained. Netflix not working. Wallpaper’s peeling.

The hotel is clean and hygienic. It's a one-bedroom apartment with a washing machine. It's very convenient for getting around, being close to the pier, so you can sleep in a bit. I was always the last one to be picked up for tours. It also has a balcony.

Although theree was an error on the booking system at my side...but they solve the problem easily by giving me a room with seaview..(seems to be an upgrade to me) the room is clean and the cleaner did their job really well too by adding more towel rather than change my towel...for the breakfast it's good, though the only problem is their drinks is bland...thats all

The room is spacious and the environment is pleasant. It's a short taxi ride to the city center, and the breakfast is good too. There's a beach where you can snorkel, and the surrounding coastal reefs are full of sea urchins and schools of fish.

🇲🇾 My dream room at Sheraton Kota Kinabalu! 🌟 The hotel's design is super stylish and sophisticated; every corner is Instagram-worthy, making the overall experience absolutely perfect! 💯 The front desk staff were very thoughtful and arranged connecting twin rooms for us during check-in. The rooms were spacious, the bedding comfortable, and the soundproofing excellent – just clean and cozy. The bathroom even had a large bathtub, which both adults and kids enjoyed for a good soak, and the water temperature adjusted quickly and well. There's an infinity pool on the hotel's top floor with stunning sea views, perfect for watching the sunset and an amazing photo spot. Next to it, there's a bar. After the kids were asleep, my husband and I could enjoy a drink while admiring the night view – very romantic. The hotel's breakfast buffet was also great, offering authentic Malaysian Nasi Lemak, noodle soup, Western bacon and eggs, and various fruits. The kids loved the croissants, and the staff even proactively helped us warm them up. The overall service quality was truly a pleasant surprise! The hotel's location is very central. It only takes about a 5-minute taxi ride to get to the jetty, Gaya Street, or major shopping malls, making transportation very convenient. There are a few 24-hour convenience stores right opposite the hotel, where we bought some local specialties to bring back for friends and family. Sheraton Kota Kinabalu absolutely exceeded my expectations. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit!

Facilities: All amenities are available. Cleanliness: Spotless and tidy. Environment: Prime downtown location, with a street full of massage parlors downstairs. The bar street is a 5-minute walk, and Gaya Street is 15 minutes away. Service: Warm and friendly. My only complaint is the excessive noise! The sea view from the room is breathtaking, but the noise from the bar street across the way goes on until after 2 AM!

GGuest UserI came here from the Shangri-La Rasa Sayang in Penang, which is a hotel from the 1970s, and it was surprisingly good overall. I actually expected this newer hotel to be much better, but I was genuinely shocked upon check-in. The room facilities were the worst I've stayed in during the past ten years, comparable to a county guesthouse from over two decades ago. I'm speechless. Even if they don't want to spend money on renovations, they could at least replace the electrical outlets and add USB ports. The balcony door lock was broken, the curtains were stained, and the hairdryer was like something from my student days. When people talked on the balcony next door, it sounded like they were right by your head. The shower door in the bathroom didn't close properly, and the toiletries were the lowest tier Shangri-La offers. During Chinese New Year, we paid 5,000 a night for a Kinabalu Wing sea view room (it's usually around 1,800 a night, and I booked it over two months in advance, so I don't know if the agent was ripping us off or if the hotel was just making a fortune). They really treat Chinese tourists as suckers. The service overall was good. A few individuals at the front desk did have a somewhat arrogant attitude, but perhaps that's just their personality or due to the sheer number of guests during the New Year period. Overall, it was decent. The hotel breakfast was quite extensive and tastier than at Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Penang and Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur. The natural scenery is generally better than Sanya, with many water activities available at reasonable prices. Seafood restaurants in the city are also cheap, just a fifteen-minute taxi ride away. If you're looking for value for money, coming during the off-season might be an option, but this hotel is far from comparable to hotels of the same price in Sanya. If you're looking to just relax at the hotel, I'd advise caution in choosing this place. What I find most baffling is that Ctrip labels this as the number one luxury hotel in Kota Kinabalu. I have no idea how they define luxury, but I was definitely misled.

AAnonymous UserJust got back home yesterday, and I'm determined to write a thorough review for this hotel. My kids also encouraged me to review it, because it truly deserves it. We booked four ocean villas for two nights, and I initially thought our chances of encountering issues would be higher with such a large booking. But we didn't run into any problems at all! In fact, I even regretted not booking more nights, mainly because I was put off by too many negative reviews on Ctrip. 1. **Service:** If you're comfortable communicating in English, the hotel service is absolutely fantastic. Most of the staff speak excellent English and were diligent in explaining activities, facilities, schedules, and programs. They showed us where everything was in the room and proactively informed us about the cost if we broke any of the toiletries bottles. The higher cost for broken bottles is because the contents are genuinely expensive – they're pure plant essential oil toiletries. As someone who regularly uses essential oils, I know they shouldn't be stored in plastic. Plus, these toiletries left our hair and skin feeling moisturized, not dry. I found them to be very effective. If you're worried about breaking them, just place them on the floor. 2. **Seawater:** The seawater is quite clear. While it's not a 'jelly blue,' the clarity is definitely good. We did experience a heavy downpour one day, and the water became a bit murky the next, but it was still perfectly acceptable. The photo of the large sea turtle looks a bit blurry because it was taken with a waterproof phone case, but the water itself was actually very clear. That was taken from under our water villa. The manta ray was photographed near the stairs of our water villa room. 3. **No Outside Food Policy:** They don't allow outside food in the rooms because it attracts ants and monkeys. The front desk has a dedicated area for storing snacks. We didn't bring any snacks into our room and always closed the door promptly, so we didn't have any bugs or insects. A crucial point: absolutely do not feed the monkeys! 4. **Meals:** We had all our meals at the hotel restaurant, and the food was truly delicious. A main meal costs around 90+ MYR per person (about 160 CNY). We felt the food was excellent, with a good variety of dishes and drinks beyond just the main courses. The kids' portions were a bit small; our four children ordered 7 kids' meals, and eventually, we just ordered them regular adult meals instead. 5. **Hot Water:** Regarding previous reviews mentioning no hot water, one of our rooms indeed had this issue. We called the front desk, and it turned out there's a 'water heater' button on the wall. Hot water was available within 15 minutes. So, don't hesitate to ask! Don't be shy; good service often requires you to speak up. 6. **Free Rentals:** Paddleboards, small boats, fins, and masks are all available for free rental. 7. **Marine Life:** In the ocean, we spotted baby sharks, baby manta rays, triggerfish, archerfish (the ones that shoot water), porcupinefish, and even a large sea turtle (which is rare, but we got lucky!). 8. **Welcome/Farewell:** We received a welcome ceremony and a welcome drink upon arrival. Upon departure, we sometimes had the whole staff waving goodbye to us. 9. **Guest Demographics:** There were a lot of European and American guests at the hotel, some Koreans, but not many Chinese guests. I wonder if this is due to the excessive negative reviews on Ctrip. 10. **Cleanliness:** The hygiene was excellent, and the rooms were very clean. Each room came with life vests, so you could go snorkeling anytime. That pretty much covers it. I believe if your English communication is good, feel free to chat with the front desk and restaurant staff; they are very engaging. At 8 AM, the hotel organizes a free jungle trek. It was a bit tiring, and we didn't see much – just hiking uphill. For reference, my experience this trip, and with these four rooms, was genuinely excellent. Having been to places like the Maldives, Bali, and Koh Lipe... I think this hotel offers great value for money, and I would definitely come back. Hotels at this price point on Koh Lipe before were significantly worse.

XXiaolanmaosarahThe hotel was really just so-so, but its location is great. It's only a 10-minute walk to the pier for boat excursions, and there are supermarkets and restaurants all around. However, I really have to complain about the hotel's service. We were two adults and one child, and we brought our own toiletries. We just wanted to ask for one more bath towel, but the hotel refused... Honestly, it's the first time I've encountered such a stingy hotel. I wasn't trying to take it home; it's just that two towels aren't enough for three people to shower. That's easy to understand, right? Seriously, it's speechless...

AAnonymous UserThis hotel was perfect for a completely relaxed trip. I was very satisfied with the room; the balcony was great and offered a good level of privacy. However, my initial idea of stepping right onto the beach didn't pan out. You can see the beach from afar, but that's as close as you get! You actually have to walk through a large area of greenery, so it’s quite a distance from the sand. The only upside is that on a day like this, you can sit outside all day without getting any sun, which was very comfortable. It’s absolutely ideal for just lying back and looking at your phone. Truly a perfect spot for men who just want to chill out. The Ocean Wing family room would be better for families with two children. For us, with just one child, it felt a bit wasteful as the top bunk was empty, haha. The Garden Wing pool is livelier and also a good spot for watching the sunset. If you like a more vibrant atmosphere, stay there. If you prefer quiet, choose the other side. Our family room, 1802, was actually about the same distance from the Garden Wing lobby as it was from the Ocean Wing front desk. Walking through the connecting corridor was fine, and it wasn't hot. At night, the path with the lawn lights was also very close. The so-called Ocean Wing is actually quite quiet, and the rooms have a large outdoor resting area. As for value for money, that’s up to you to decide. The ground floor of the Garden Wing only has two small outdoor stools and gets more sun. The room itself was quite cool, with strong air conditioning. I recommend wearing long sleeves when going to the restaurant for meals – definitely long sleeves! For dining, I’d suggest the Garden Wing buffet restaurant; they have more variety. Regarding booking activities, I recommend emailing the hotel in advance to confirm your booking number and the activities you want to do. Otherwise, don't expect to be able to book activities like the night animal viewing on the spot. There are only slots for 10 people per day, and usually, three families are enough to fill them. So, I couldn't book anything during my two-day stay, which was very disappointing. One friendly aspect might be for children who need childcare. Upon check-in, they give you a daily activity list in both English and Chinese, and children can be supervised. Daily drinks and food are replenished. You can actually order Grab food delivery, but there's an extra 10 RM delivery fee. It’s really far, over ten kilometers! So remote... There’s a restaurant nearby called Dongfang Tea Restaurant; you can search for it on Dazhong Dianping. Add the owner's phone number on WeChat, and he'll come pick you up! It can save you a lot; it's about 90 RMB per person. The hotel's buffet dinner isn't great, not as good as the breakfast buffet. That's what people who tried it said; I didn't, haha. Breakfast lasts from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM, and I usually went around 9:30 or 10:00 AM and stayed until after 10:30 AM. The shuttle bus schedule is also very useful in my pictures. For check-out, I left around 12:30 PM, and the front desk told me to be in the lobby 15 minutes early for the bus. The drop-off time is excellent, taking you to Imago Shopping Mall. However, they can't drop you off at the airport directly; there are only two airport shuttles, one in the morning and one in the evening. Finally, here's a tip: there's a QR code in the lobby to register as a Shangri-La member. Just scan it and register your membership number to receive a complimentary four-piece travel size shower gel set. There's also Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk (see picture). You can ask for her if needed. Summary: For older children, swimming before sunset is perfect, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, watching the sunset all the way – it’s stunning. Cons: Far from the city, and activities are difficult to book. Food: They have all the usual stuff, so it's just okay. Overall, it's a hotel very suitable for a completely relaxed and laid-back stay.

AAkmaaalI recently stayed at Sutera@Mantanani for a-night, and it was magnificent an unforgettable island experience. The room was spacious enough for both of us! WE ARE SO HAPPY that they provides everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The rooms are well-equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fans, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, tea and coffee making facilities, and safety deposit boxes. There’s no need to worry about bringing toiletries or coping with the island heat, as all essentials are thoughtfully provided, making it easy to unwind and fully enjoy the island experience. We spent the morning watching the sunrise and the tide coming in with the clean ocean and beautiful Mount Kinabalu.Other than that they also have kayak rentals, and there is many activities we have done such as sunset walk, ATV, volley ball with other guest, and a romantic night with a bon fire and skies full of stars. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially during the boat transfer from Rampayan Jetty, they helped us load our luggage, AND they also very helpful in explaining the trip itinerary, ensuring guests could manage their time well and make the most of their stay, while also clearly informing us of rules and safety guidelines to ensure everyone’s well-being. Meals were served buffet-style in the resort’s open-air dining area, with fresh local seafood, grilled fish, nasi lemak, and tropical fruits, breakfast included eggs, toast, and local pastries. We appreciated that the chef accommodated a vegetarian request without issue. Overall, Sutera@Mantanani is a perfect island retreat, and I would came back here and highly recommend it to couples, families, or anyone seeking a quiet, nature-filled getaway.

GGuest UserI booked for three nights and was lucky enough to get upgraded from a city view room to a sea view room. The location is excellent; there's a coffee shop and bakery downstairs, and across the street, you'll find restaurants and massage parlors. On one side, there's a local market, and just a short walk across the road leads to the sea. Gaya Street is also just a convenient 4-5 minute walk away. It's very convenient and quiet. The hotel facilities are a bit old, but perfectly acceptable.

Easy to walk around other places. Near KK plaza & walking distance to waterfront & centrepoint sabah. But do smell market at the parking lot. Swimming pool cgood. Got both for adult and kids. I do wish more table & seats provided outside of changing room. Breakfast was worth it. For kids & adults. I would suggest if you could add hot chocolate for drinks as well. Personally I would like to stay at this hotel next time.

AAbeibei_Overall, I'd give it a 75 out of 100. My previous Marriott stay in Kuala Lumpur allowed us to drop off our luggage in the morning, go sightseeing, and then check in later, with our bags already placed in the room. Here at the Kota Kinabalu Marriott, we spent ages looking for our luggage upon arrival. We were already freezing after a boat trip, and then wasting so much time checking in and finding our bags was really frustrating. Secondly, the Kuala Lumpur Marriott was also cheaper, under 1300, while this one in Kota Kinabalu was over 2000. As for cleanliness, it was generally okay. One more thing: you actually store checked luggage in the lobby! This wasn't the case in Kuala Lumpur, and I really feel it's quite unsafe to leave bags in the lobby!

GGuest UserThe hotel has a great location and very friendly staff. For future improvements, I'd suggest updating the bath towels, as many were worn and discolored. The extra bed could also be better maintained. Unfortunately, during our one-night stay, my husband received several insect bites on his legs. This is meant as constructive feedback—we otherwise had a positive experience and hope this is helpful.
