We’re having such an amazing stay! The mountain view from our room, the sunset at the sky bar, and the super friendly staff, everything’s just awesome. We’ll definitely be back!

The room was quite spacious and the environment was pleasant; it wasn't noisy at night either. Although the hotel front desk didn't offer full Chinese service, the staff knew a few Chinese phrases, so communication wasn't an issue. There's a convenience store and restaurants nearby, plus a BaWangChaJi. Across the street diagonally, there's also a large shopping mall with Chinese drink brands and Haidilao. Overall, I think the location is pretty good.

Located in very strategic location, nice sea view. Room is clean the only drawback is the soundproofing of the window. I can hear the sound of plane landing

Great value for money option. The hotel was very kind in acceding to my request for a good room allocation. The housekeepers and nice and take pride in their jobs. Everything about this hotel deserves a solid 4 stars at the time of writing. It’s actually a great hard product due to their recent refurbishment. I would say 70% of the room seems to have undergone refurbishment except for the bathrooms. But the whole room was spotlessly clean anyway. Air conditioning was very fresh and cold. No odors whatsoever. Service was lacking. The receptionist was visibly overwhelmed with work. Just Don’t open the room directory and expect them to provide the services in there in the biggest nonsense page I’ve ever seen in a hotel. You’ll be fine. I would say that i quite enjoyed my stay here despite coming in with little expectations.

The location is super convenient, right in the city center, and it's a sea-view room. I requested a higher floor, but still got the ninth floor. I also asked not to be near the elevator, and guess what? I got a room right next to it. I suspect my request wasn't understood. From the room, you can see the rooftops of the lower floors. Overall, it offers good value for money. The breakfast is abundant, and the front desk service is excellent; my requests were generally met when I called. The only minor issue was the TV being broken, but they sent someone to fix it.

Had a pleasant stay for a short business trip. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Amenities were complete, especially the gym which was convenient and clean. Location is also strategic with easy access to nearby restaurants and conveniences. Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free experience. Would definitely consider staying here again for future work trips.

My first stay in Le Meridien and I was blown away by the physical features and the service. We stay there 3 nights in total over two legs
Special mention to Reazy (hope I got her name right) who served me when we checked in and out on our first leg. She was professional and warm! She had some good recommendations on food and was lovely to interact with. Compliments to Malcolm who welcomed us back when we return for our third night stay.
We were given a complimentary upgrade to a Sea view king room. We were so thankful as we could see then beautiful sea and sunset.
The rooms were very spacious and posh looking. The breakfast was great and offered variety. The location is the best!!
We would want to be back one day!

One night stay at Suite
Check-in took about 40 minutes, including queuing and waiting. My booking included club benefits, which meant access to the Magellan Club, but I wasn’t directed there. Instead, we were told to wait “five minutes” at the lounge for the front desk to double-check if the room was ready. The wait ended up being much longer, and we eventually had to return to the counter ourselves to ask if the room was available.
The suite itself was acceptable in terms of cleanliness, but there were some minor maintenance issues: the fan remote in the living area didn’t work, and the main room remote was also faulty.
The overall facilities were good, and the staff were friendly. Room service was impressively quick, especially when I requested extra bottled water, which was delivered promptly.
Overall: A decent stay with some clear highlights such as the Magellan Club access, but better communication on benefits, smoother check-in, and room maintenance would make the experience much more enjoyable.
We stayed at Hatten Hotel in Malacca and found it super convenient—right in the middle of everything, from shopping malls to historical spots. Our room was spacious and comfy, with great views over the harbour . The food in the restaurant was surprisingly good, and the rooftop bar was a real highlight—fabulous city views at sunset to end the day and great views at night. We found the staff and service very responsive. Great spot for a short city break and good value for money.

AAm hereI’ve always loved everything about Shangri-La — not
really sure how many times I’ve been here already! Maybe 8-9th time like that
This time, I was pleasantly surprised when my room was upgraded from tg pool view to sea view. ************* 🌅 Room 231 had such a stunning view — absolutely beautiful!
The only thing that could be improved would be the breakfast. There were plenty of options, which is great, but the taste wasn’t quite the same this time. The kuey teow was a bit bland, the beef strips were really salty, and the hash browns weren’t as crispy as they used to be.
Hopefully Shangri-La can bring back the usual delicious taste that we all love
AAnonymous UserBooked for romantic tent, same like the ad. Looks like a brand new tent, because the colour is still white compared to the others which is already yellowish and got a bit mould. Romantic tent have no shade, so the light shines through into the tent. Even so, the tent doesn't feel hot, the portable aircond keeps it cool inside. asked for keetle from the receptionist. need to ask for keys for private bathroom as they are having renovation during our stay.
MMaiyoI had a good stay at Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu. The cleanliness was well maintained and the location is convenient for getting around the city. The service was satisfactory and the staff were generally helpful. The amenities provided were also good for a comfortable stay. Overall, it is a suitable choice for business travellers looking for a practical and affordable hotel in a central location.
GGuest UserHotel is a little off from city centre, hotel providing shuttle bus but still a hassle to spend hours on road.
hotel is a perfect place to spend days with family and just chill. there are plenty of activities planned for kids to keep them busy. Discovery center and Water sports center provides activities with charges.
Due to the fact of by the beach, to maintain a perfect cleaniless is a challenge but hotel has done it well, very comfortable to stay in the room.
The staffs hospitality is what we like the most here, they are really friendly and usually initiate conversation with the guests.
AAnonymous UserThe island trip was truly unforgettable, the service was excellent, the staff were warm and welcoming, breakfast was a great experience thanks to the staff Anizah, who were attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist, the room was comfortable, every moment was filled with memories that will be cherished for a long time. And thank you to Arthur for always being helpful. Will come back again.
GGuest Userwonderful location,amazing view too. There’s a convenient store next to the hotel. Also there’s pool available .lots of selections of restaurants nearby, very near to night market too.
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.

BBarathi*Honest Review: Comfortable Stay but Disappointing Service Transparency*
Me and a group of colleagues chose Wendu Inn during our recent work trip to Kota Belud, and I’d like to share an honest review—not just a general star rating—because the experience was a mix of excellent and disappointing aspects.
Pros: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
• The check-in process was smooth and efficient.
• Cleanliness and room comfort are top-notch—definitely 5-star worthy, especially for a small town like Kota Belud.
• The view from the café and the convenience of having a minimart downstairs were truly added bonuses.
• We genuinely appreciated the effort put into making the place cozy and welcoming.
But here comes the downside:
We booked our rooms with breakfast included, which is supposed to be served at their café. However, this was where things went wrong.
1️⃣ When we went for breakfast, there was no proper display or explanation about the free breakfast options. What was openly displayed was a menu with both breakfast (no prices shown) and lunch items (with prices).
The actual complimentary breakfast choices were hidden away in a folder behind the counter—not visible to guests. Naturally, thinking the displayed breakfast options were part of our package, we made our choices and presented our coupons at the counter. The staff accepted the coupons without saying a word. Only after finishing our meals were we surprised with a bill, leaving us feeling misled and frustrated.
2️⃣ The counter staff’s customer service was below expectations.
When we requested an official receipt for work claims, we were repeatedly told to refer to the booking website. Even after explaining that we needed an original stamped receipt, the answer was simply: “We don’t have an original stamp.”
For a hotel catering to business travelers, this lack of basic documentation support is quite inconvenient.
Final thoughts:
Would I recommend Wendu Inn? Yes—for comfort, cleanliness, and its peaceful surroundings.
But be prepared to double-check details around your package (especially meals), and don’t expect much assistance from the front desk when it comes to paperwork or clarifications.
