"On of the best hotel in KK! From front desk to housekeeping, it was such a great experience! Include your breakfast package if you decided to stay here! You won’t regret it! Spread of selection for you, noodles, rice, sushi, you name it! Definitely worth it! The scenery and view from the hotel room was breathtaking. You’re able to see Mt Kinabalu (if it’s not raining!). Sky is super bright by 5:45-6am, be sure to catch the sunrise ! Overall, no regret choosing this hotel for my 5D4N trip! 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻"

"Checked in at the hotel at around 9.30pm. I noticed the air conditiong was kinda hot. But i thought to myself, I’ll give it some time run first. Maybe it’ll get better soon. Then an hour later, it was still hot, so i called operator, and she said she will send someone to our room. Waited about 30 minutes or more, still nobody came. I called the second time, and she said she’ll get someone to our room again. And that’s it, nobody came to our room, to help us with the air conditioning. And we were to tired to wait already. So My 8 month old baby sleept sweating that night and i had to fan him with the note book that they put beside the bed. Upon checkout, I complained to the receptionist and the manager about the incident, and they checked on their system that the issue had been resolved. Which was abvioustly a lie. So the manager said he will investigate the matter and he promised something to me. So i hope he keep his words. I’m a regular here, so i know there was something wrong with the air conditioning. I know the quality of the hotel. So let’s see wether the manager is serious about his words."

"The whole place is good. Only the location’s smell and parking service for guest. Stinky smell comes from nearby sewerage and when the tide is low the smells comes in. On the other hand, no free parking available. Park downstairs and early in the morning being summoned as early as 8am on saturday. Other than that, all area good and nearby a foodcourts"

"Travelled with my son for the first time to KK. Glad we settled for Hyatt Regency, location was excellent. Short walk to Suria Sabah mall and Gaya Street night market was just a street away. Grab to places like Imago Mall, Sutera Harbour and Airport cost between RM5 - RM9. Room was big and beds were comfortable, only downside was that the aircon was still warm at 19 degrees. Pool was average. Breakfast buffet was good. One thing that definitely stood out was the service by the hotel staff. We arrived at 12pm with the initial thought to drop off our luggages first but they allowed us to check in rightaway. Housekeeping also called our room to ask if we needed anything. Will definitely stay here again for my next trip!"

"This hotel absolutely blew my expectations out of the water! Both the location and the accommodations were superb. It's strategically located on a corner, directly across the street from the jetty, making it incredibly convenient for island-hopping excursions. We spent four days island hopping, and I must say, the two captains, especially for the mangrove and outer island tours, were absolutely hilarious, witty, and very responsible. The hotel is within easy walking distance of Gaya Street, Durian Street, and the Central Seafood Market, which was extremely convenient. Gaya Street also hosts a night market every Friday and Sunday, perfect for a leisurely stroll and sampling delicious street food. Diagonally opposite the hotel, there's a large shopping mall and a duty-free store. My only minor disappointment was that our three families were staying together. The room rates only differed by less than fifty (currency implied), but because I was with my son, I booked a twin room. It turned out to be quite small, whereas the other two families booked king rooms that even came with a living area! I was so incredibly jealous and felt it was a bit unfair! o(╥╥)o However, that didn't really impact our overall experience, and we still had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel also boasts an outdoor rooftop pool on the 25th floor. The elevators require a room key card to operate and only grant access to your assigned floor, which provided a great sense of security!"

"The Hotel is located at the area with many seafood restaurants and it is also convenient to access to different shops. On the first day, we were given a room without views that made us very unhappy. Then they agreed to change it to better views. The sensor of the light control was out of order on the third day, but they could fix it on the same day. The staff of the Hotel would send messages to connect with us. It was very helpful Hotel. Their breakfast was really fantastic, we highly recommended it."

"The check-in experience is great. The Luma Hotel team are all very friendly. Parking is available right at the entrance of the hotel for a fee of RM30 per day. They provided cold towel and welcome drink to help me freshen up after my long drive from Kundasang. The room is clean and spacious. You can view the bathtub from the bed if you open up the panels. This is great for those with kids and want to monitor them from the comfort of your bed. There is no swimming pool but this is understandable for the size of the hotel. Breakfast is decent with good spread. Not much crowd at 6am. There are 24hrs convenience stores within the same building for those who need to buy your supplies. The hotel is located near the Airport and Imago Shopping Mall. Other places of tourist attractions are also nearby if your are driving or book e-hailing services like Grab. Last but not least, I would like to thank the team for the personalised birthday card and the complimentary cake. It is truly memorable."

MM419124****The location is excellent. A taxi from the airport costs only around 9 MYR. It's conveniently located near Gaya Street and Suria Sabah shopping mall. You'll find many popular eateries and trendy spots in the area, including famous names like Sin Kee and Yu Kee Bak Kut Teh, Yee Fung Laksa, and Gaya Coconut. There are also plenty of convenience stores, including 7-Eleven, nearby. Two well-known mural photo spots are just around the corner, and both Durian Street and the durian stalls under the bridge are within easy walking distance.

PPrisca EMy stay at this hotel was underwhelming. Basic amenities were lacking, no toothbrush, no hand tissues (only toilet paper), no slippers, and no shower cap. They only provided two large towels, with no hand or face towels. The TV was nearly useless with just two available channels.The lighting was also poor; there was no main room light, only two dim lights behind the bed, which made the room feel dark and uninviting. For the price, there are definitely better options out there that offer more comfort and convenience.

PPilgrimaaa_The hotel room was clean. Amenities provided are shampoo and body soap. The location from the town area is quite central. It's easy to park a car, not a busy road. It's located at the back of Plaza Shell. A water dispenser is the only thing missing from the hotel, so next time when you want to stay, make sure to buy one drinking water for yourself. Anyway there are convenience stores nearby the hotel.

NNNMYWe stayed at the seafront pool villa. Location was excellent in front of the beach, with sunset view. The morning was peaceful. We absolutely loved the private pool quite spacious, they also have children pools. Self-check in was easy & convenient. Otherwise, cleanliness is acceptable. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at BBV, spacious villa with private pool.

SShahfiq09I recently stayed at Tune Hotel and overall, it was a pleasant experience. Tune Hotel is well-known for offering budget-friendly accommodations without compromising too much on comfort and cleanliness. The location is strategic, especially if you’re traveling for business or leisure—it’s usually close to public transport, shopping malls, and eateries. The room was compact but well-maintained. The bed was comfortable, the air-conditioning worked perfectly, and the shower had good water pressure. I appreciate that the room came with basic amenities such as clean towels, toiletries, and a safe deposit box. The Wi-Fi connection was stable and fast, which is a big plus for digital nomads or business travelers. The staff were polite, helpful, and efficient during check-in and check-out. While there is no room service or luxury facilities, Tune Hotel is ideal for those who just need a clean, comfortable place to rest. I would definitely recommend it for budget-conscious travelers.
