I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The check-in process was smooth and easy, and the hotel itself is beautiful with clean and comfortable rooms. What made the experience even more special was the thoughtful service. they helped me arrange a birthday cake in advance and even gave me a free room upgrade. I truly appreciate the warm hospitality. Highly recommended!

Nice hotel near the beach and airport.
The room has great space and nice view to the sea and airport. Auto parking available and in a quiet location but convenient to go to beach and town.
The hotel rooftop pool and deck has a nice to the sea. You can watch the landing and takeoff of the planes too. The sound from the plane is bearable but the sound insulation can be better especially from the walkway when people walking, chatting and banging door.
The amenities and cleanliness can be improved. Used bathrobes was left in the cabinet and new bathrobe was not provided. The housekeeping staff clearly omitted on this.

Let me talk about the advantages first: good location, very convenient surroundings
The complaint is that there are apartments of various brands in the building, the elevator is very slow, usually you have to wait for 5-10 minutes
We will add WeChat before checking in, communicate in English throughout the process, the attitude is very average, the service awareness is not as good as Thailand
The biggest problem is the bathroom, the space is small and there is no curtain, so the water will splash everywhere; secondly, the water heater has a big problem. The top head can only produce cold water, and only the bottom one can produce hot water
We had to change to a mountain view room on the second night, but the water heater switch was not turned on. The child was anxious to take a shower and looked for a long time without instructions, which was also very strange!
In the end, I could only use WeChat to find customer service and ask someone to come to the door, but it was still leaking. The water output was very small and could only be used barely.
The overall experience was not very good. The shower in another self-service apartment we stayed in later was normal.
There is no conclusion after negotiating compensation with the other party
If you are used to staying in a hotel, it is recommended not to try it
It is self-service throughout the process, and the customer service response is not very timely, which is a bit strenuous.

We especially like the location which is a short stroll away to Gaya street where plenty of shops and eateries can be found. The room we stayed is spacious and clean. The air-con could do with some servicing though as it wasnāt effective.Also, the drainage in the bathroom was slow. Ā All in all, we had a pleasant one night Ā stay.

The resort has a swimming pool, and the food is OK. There are chicken, beef, and fish every day. There are few tourists, and it feels like there are more staff than tourists. The hotel has a rich arrangement of activities. There is snorkeling at 9 am, and at 6 pm you can go to the village where locals live behind the resort to watch the sunset. At 8:30 pm you can go to find owls. A small suggestion is that the tourists should be provided with a water service in the waiting area for leaving the island. It seems that the guests are not taken care of when leaving the island, and there is no water at all.

GGuest UserI visited the hotel with my parents, my wife and my daughter. We stayed for four nights, checking in on 3rd May and checked out on the 7th.
This is actually my second time visiting this hotel, the first time being 30 years ago, again with my parents. I had great memories as a kid so I was looking forward to this trip.
The First night was great, had dinner at Coco Joe's and rested after a long trip.
The Second day was fantastic, breakfast and dinner and Cafe Tutu, met a lovely dining lady named Rohana. During the day, we enjoyed the great activities of the Leisure Center. Friendly staff from there made the experience children friendly. And the icing of the dessert - the sunset parade, Jamie loves it. Housekeeping did a surprise heartwarming job, covering the lion doll of my daughter with a little towel on the pillow, very cute and thoughtful move.
The Third Day we went out to town so didn't stay much time in the hotel.
The Fourth Day, was quite disappointing to be honest. Housekeeping did not arrive in the morning when we were out playing at the pool. I understand as there are many rooms to take care of. We went back to the room to rest between 2-4pm, switch on the āDo not disturbā button, and somehow housekeeping team arrived so they put a card to say they could not clean as we put up the do not disturb button. Fair enough, but again, there was five hours in the morning which they could clean the room.
Leaving the room again at 4pm for activities, I called service center for housekeeping, switched off the āDo not disturbā button and went out. We returned at 7:45pm, still there was no housekeeping. Frustrated, I called the service center again requesting for housekeeping, they replied they will check and follow up with housekeeping. Half an hour later, still no one turned up. Extremely irritated, I called service center for housekeeping again. This time, housekeeping finally arrived but our whole family were waiting for clean towels to have shower.
VERY disappointing with the effecitivness of housekeeping and service center on this incident.
On that very same day, I discovered a big crockcroach in the toilet, so I do have a big quetion mark on the housekeeping of this hotel.
The day was worsen when we had dinner at Coco Joe's, where we wait for nearly an hour (from 6pm to 6:53pm) before we get all our food served. I did complain it to the manager when he came by, which he did apologise and waived our dining fee. Despite my disgrunt towards the long waiting time of the dishes, I would like to give credit on the manager (I think his name is Mr Kan?) in terms of how he managed the complaint.
Overall, the experience is mixed. With friendly staff at leisure center + Cafe Tutu, good food but unreasonably long waiting time at Coco Joe's, and disappointing housekeeping after the heartwarming performance on the second day. The hardware of the hotel is great (view, pool design, restaurant seating) but our experience was mainly affected by the staff. On this ocassions, I would like to give commendation to the following staff: Rohana, Majid (both from Cafe Tutu), all staff from Leisure Centre (especially the two ladies and two gentleman hosting water polo and volleyball respectively), and Kan from Coco Joe's on complaint management.
Please keep up on the good work you already have, and work hard on things that requires improvement:)

IinosukeāeThe Klagan Regency at 1Borneo Hypermall in Kota Kinabalu is a 4-star hotel that offers a blend of comfort, convenience, and affordability for both leisure and business travelers.

āø»
Location & Accessibility
The hotelās location is particularly advantageous for guests with business at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) or those seeking a stay away from the cityās hustle and bustle.

āø»
Parking & Transportation
Parking has been a consistent concern among guests. The hotel offers limited parking spaces, operating on a first-come, first-served basis.

Overall Impression
The Klagan Regency at 1Borneo offers a comfortable and convenient stay, especially for those looking to be close to shopping facilities and away from the cityās core.

HHoon HoonGreat resort area, well thought out activities and facilities . However, management should include more board games like scrabble etc. Lots of guests during our stay and sometimes we could not get to play games we wanted. I mean itās easy and simple stuff to have more board games.
Otherwise the food was great. The activities were good but pricier. Not a whole lot of participation. A pity. Oh, I should not miss out- the sunsets were picture perfect..
OOn cloud 9The hotel smells good. The room is spacious with plenty of chair to sit. They provide basic amenities. Checkin and checkout process was smooth.
The only minor is the bed is in front of the door. So itās not comfortable to sleep.

LLimThe only reason I stayed here was because of it location near to the airport. Everything else is good in terms of experience except I was imposed with liability costing RM10 for soiling one piece of their towel. The soiling happened because I walked outside after the rain and my foot got into a mud spot. I came back to my room and I accidentally stepped on the towel. Bear in mind, I had to book their largest room meant for 4 pax because that was the only one available even though I stayed alone. Considering the occupancy is low for that large room, soiling one piece of towel does not justify a RM10 liability damage.
MMOHD AMINUL FAHMI AHMAD JALALINWoke up to see kinabalu. No word can describe the feelings. Location a bit far from town, but the hotel have it's owned restaurant which is very helpful
JjoycelsJuly 2024
TL;DR: This place feels more like a meditation centre than a hotel, it will not provide you with supplements. It's a bare room. You need to bring toothbrush&paste and buy drinks somewhere as it is not provided. No tv and fan. No in-house restaurant. There are mosquitoes at the garden near afternoon, and the balcony at night, but there are no insects in the room (family room). In exchange you will get a very clear and vivid Mt Kinabalu view in the near-dawn morning (where there is no mosquito), a working shower with heater, concrete floor that reduces nearby noise, and cold foggy experience.
Long:
This place is within the fog path so you will get the foggy experience. You can also see Mt. Kinabalu at the right time and it looks quite close (e.g. dawn 6 a.m.). You can even see the electric towers and resthouse, it's that close. Moreover, this place is more like a meditation centre than a hotel. It is visibly run down probably since covid as that is also when the in-house restaurant got closed down. Considering my experience as a recurrent visitor of Kundasang, mosquito has always been the least of my concern. Somehow this place has lots of them. We got bit quite a lot in a short span of time.
Undesirable / Cons:
-No water kettle, no supplements (water bottle, coffee pack, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.). Porcelain mugs are provided though
-No in-house cafe/restaurant but nearby has a few (400 meters at least)
-No tv, no fan but cold in general
-Quite a lot of mosquito and moths outside at the garden place in the afternoon and at the balcony connecting the 2 buildings at night. There are no electric zapper.
-Seems a bit run down at the garden. 2 broken board pieces on the floor for example.
-It has no Qibla for muslim people, at least in family room
Desirable / Pros:
-Big room. Not smelly
-Is cement board floor
-Big single beds. Not smelly
-Clean bed. Fluffy cover.
-Water heater is working for family room at least
-Relatively clean inside room and at reception. No insects in room. No weird bugs around.
-Has a table and chairs in room
-Lots of electrical port
-Wifi provided by hotel is strong (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
-Very near main road. So good road going towards the hotel
-Aki-Aki trail starting point is nearby. Plan to go next time so no experience as of this review
This place is not too bad. Not too good either. Personally, I wouldn't place this as my top place for the foggy and view considering other options but I don't mind returning if necessary. It will sure be much much better to highly recommended with much needed renovation and have some methods to deal with those mosquito.
p.s. There's a cute puppy that invites you at the entrance. š
p.s.s. I saw a greater coucal gliding into the forest in the morning!
