The Aru Hotel at Aru Suites
4.3/555 Reviews
Tanjung Aru
The hotel room which I stayed was very confortable, with wide space, big bed, clean bedsheets and near to eating places and also near to the airport. Initially I was afraid the noise from the airplanes may disturb my sleep as my room was facing on the left side of the building, but to my surprise I did not hear planes flying so I was happy that I didn't experience any noise to disturb my tranquility. The only con is there is no restaurant in the hotel so my breakfast came as a bento like box takeaway. No coffee also, the coffee is available in the room but is chargeable. Only the tea bags are free. The parking is multi-storeyed and managed electronically. You put your car into the car lift and it is then parked automatically one car at a time. To retrieve your car, you need to scan your hotel card for it to be brought down via the car lift again. It may be time consuming if you are in a hurry and there are a few people in the queue before you.

Tanjung Aru
Good for a short stay, cleanliness is 50/50..the toilet seat was a litte dirty and no shampoo or soap provided in the bathroom, room is okay.The only thing I value is privacy, location, room, staff service and cleanliness...for this hotel I could say its okay, each one balance the other. What I really love is there was a waiting place on the groundfloor, I get to sit there while waiting for my food being delivered instead of standing outside.

Seapark Condotel Hotel
4.3/55 Reviews
Tanjung Aru
A one-star hotel shines brightly because of the boss's super five-star service. Just listen to the boss for hotels, supermarkets, tools for catching the sea, and travel guides. It's about a quarter of an hour's walk from the beach, and there are restaurants and supermarkets along the way. The three single beds met our rest needs, which was great! Want to stay a few more days
The Crown Borneo Hotel

Tanjung Aru
This hotel is definitely worth the money. It is close to the airport and there is a restaurant opposite the restaurant. It is very convenient to eat and shop. The room environment is still very good, this price is excellent value for money.
