Hotels With Pools in Sabah, Malaysia

Easy to communicate with the host. Check-in and check-out were quick and hassle-free. The room price was very reasonable for the location and the number of beds provided. It suited our small family perfectly. The Shore Kota Kinabalu is centrally located, making it easy to get to nearby shops, restaurants, and other attractions. Parking is not free, but the price was still acceptable for us. As mentioned in many reviews, the elevator issue is quite serious. We avoided using it during peak hours, which helped a lot. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and enjoyed it.

I arrived at the hotel around 1:30 PM and was told check-in wasn't available yet. So I registered my passport and stored my luggage, and they said they'd bring it up to the room later. After going out for a meal and a walk, I returned to the front desk around 3:30 PM, only to be told they couldn't find my reservation. I explained that I had already registered, and then they informed me the room was under my husband's name, which was why my name wasn't found. But the problem is, they had already registered all our family's passports! Then another issue arose – they said the room wasn't ready. I pointed out that it was well past check-in time and that this was the hotel's problem. Eventually, they upgraded our room. The room itself was decent, and they even set up the sofa bed as requested for our family with a child. Just as I was about to relax, I used the toilet. I pressed the flush button on the wall, and the entire flush plate fell off, which gave me quite a fright. The facilities are really subpar. The hot water for the shower also wasn't working, and I had to call staff to fix it because their shower button design is so counter-intuitive. Did I think that was the end of it? There was another surprise when we were leaving. After checking out, my child's smart watch was missing. The location showed it was still at the hotel. I asked the front desk, and they said they hadn't found it. I showed them the watch's location, which clearly indicated our hotel and even the floor. The staff then took us to the room to look, but we couldn't find it. Finally, I asked them to find the cleaning staff, and sure enough, it was with them. But why didn't the cleaner report finding the watch immediately? If it weren't for the smart watch's tracking, it would have been impossible to prove. Luckily, we got it back. Additional note: The hotel pool is on the top floor and is quite small (a far cry from the Shangri-La).

The location is very good and convenient to get around. The house is big, clean, and very comfortable, which made our stay really enjoyable. The host was very helpful and easy to communicate with, responding quickly whenever we had questions. Overall, everything was great and we had a pleasant stay. Highly recommended! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely consider staying here again.

Worth the price with a strategic location The hotel offers good value for money and is located in a very strategic city-center area, making it easy to get around, with shops and restaurants nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing good service throughout the stay. The room is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, the stay was pleasant. However, there is room for improvement in terms of in-room utensils. It would be better if basic items such as spoons and dishwashing liquid were provided for added convenience. Overall, a satisfying stay and would recommend it.

I really loved this hotel! The location is super convenient, the breakfast spread is excellent, and the rooms are spacious. The staff are all very friendly, and the room service quality was good too! A special shout-out to Miss Wong at the buffet restaurant; she's incredibly professional and made us feel so welcome. This is a fantastic choice if you're visiting Kota Kinabalu!

Facilities: The room facilities are relatively new, but the hallway was very cold. They provide large glass bottles of water. The bathroom counter is spacious and the three-way separation (toilet, shower, sink) is excellent. Our room faced Signal Hill and had a super large balcony, but for families with kids, there wasn't enough space to hang clothes. The breakfast restaurant has a great view of the sea. The pool is small. Cleanliness: Very good. Environment: It's convenient to get anywhere. Kota Kinabalu isn't big, and from here, it's just a short walk to Gaya Street where you'll find all the popular influencer spots. It's also super close to both jetties and Suria Sabah shopping mall. The hotel lobby has two entrances: one for vehicles, which is where you take taxis, and a pedestrian entrance opposite Suria Sabah. Service: The front desk staff were very nice. When we arrived, there were no rooms available, and they mentioned we might have to take a connecting room. However, they later managed to arrange a higher floor room that wasn't connecting for us.

The location was great, so Grab rides were always around 2000 KRW no matter where I went. There's a supermarket and a market nearby, which was convenient for buying fruit. It seems like each room here has a different host, so finding a good one is probably key! The host I had communicated quickly and effectively via KakaoTalk, which I really appreciated, and they promptly and pleasantly resolved anything I needed. The downside was that the water pressure was weak, and the hot water wasn't very hot, more lukewarm.

The location is good. But is still a distance to Imago mall. The hotel do provide one-way transport service to Imago mall or Suria mall. The room size is big and do have table and chair suitable for business traveller. The receptionist service is good and friendly. They willing to change a damage hair-dryer for us although it is taking a long time to get a good one. The facility a bit old but overall still ok.

Stayed for three nights. Lots of Koreans and Chinese guests, but no Chinese-speaking staff. Arrived around 1 or 2 AM, and there was still someone at the front desk. Only realized on the last day that it wasn't far from Gaya Street, so I walked back. Pros: New, large bed, great value for money, and a photogenic pool. Cons: No breakfast. Still recommended though!
