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 wasn’t effective.Also, the drainage in the bathroom was slow. All in all, we had a pleasant one night stay.

We celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary with a road trip from Brunei to Kota Kinabalu. For the first two nights, we stayed at Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, and on the final night, we decided to try The Klagan Hotel before heading back to Brunei. We booked the Atrium Room with a double/full bed and breakfast for two.
Upon arriving around 3 pm to check in, we were informed that our reserved room was not yet ready, though a room with two single beds was available. Since this was our honeymoon getaway, we insisted on the Atrium Room with a double bed. After heading out for dinner, we returned, only to be told—almost 8 PM—that the room with the double bed was still not ready or available.
However, Fahmi at the reception was extremely polite and understanding. He made every effort to ensure that our reserved room was prepared as soon as possible, even though bath towels were unavailable at the time and only provided the following morning! Haha. Despite that, we appreciated Fahmi’s efficient service—thank you, Fahmi!
The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the room was so quiet that we slept like babies. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, conveniently located near markets, spa, shopping malls, eateries, cafes, and the waterfront’s Anjung Senja seafood restaurant area. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Kota Kinabalu.

The location was great, walking distance to Suria Sabah and Gaya Street. There was no parking space, though, but can park your car in Suria Sabah, 24 hours can access and affordable, too. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. The outside view was awesome. Our room was facing the sea. Overall, the room was decent, though a bit old-fashioned. But who's complaining since the bed was comfy? The bathroom and the appliances work well. The flooring however does not have carpet. This is my second time here, btw.
It's the perfect destination for creative travelers who want to take in the sights and sounds of Kota Kinabalu .
Located in the district of Inanam, overlooking the gleaming views of the cityscape & lush greenery of the Sinulihan hills.

AAmen ChoiIdeal location, but not much facilities though. The hotel room is big with a fashionable western styled design.
I stayed over for one night, arrived at Saturday night and left for Sunday morning. The busy Gaya Street makes it fun at Saturday night but the Sunday market can be very noisy as the market starts very early in the morning.
All in all a pleasant stay!

HHasalfaLove it place!!! Very convenient! Just 5 mins walk to Gaya Street. Although the hotel does not come with parking but, there are plenty off street parking available! Parking free on Sunday. Other day, you can pay the parking via Sabah Parking App. Very cheap and easy. Just don’t stay in room ending with 05 or 06 due to facing backside of the building. Can be very noisy in the morning. Please I remind you, buy the fried banana fritters beside this Hotel. Omg, so delicious!! I buy them daily. Hahaah
