This was my third time staying at the Kaseh Hotel in Kota Kinabalu, and I brought my mother along for a trip. As always, the stay was incredibly satisfying!
Service: The front desk staff were warm and helpful, offering check-in services in both Chinese and English. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and plentiful, with a wide variety of dishes that my mother particularly enjoyed. When cleaning the room, they always replenished necessary disposable items and even helped tidy up clothes on the bed and toiletries in the bathroom, which was very thoughtful.
Cleanliness: The hotel was clean and tidy, with daily room cleaning service.
Environment: The location is extremely convenient. Taking a Grab to city attractions is always within a ten-minute drive, making it easy to get to Sutera Harbour for island hopping and Gaya Street. There are also many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. It's only about a ten-minute Grab ride from the airport, so there's no need to wake up extra early to catch a flight. Getting around to and from the hotel is very convenient.
Facilities: As always, the facilities are complete. You can take hotel towels with you for island hopping and snorkeling, just remember to return them. There are plenty of drying racks, perfect for hanging clothes. There's also an outdoor swimming pool.
Hope to see Kota Kinabalu again next time!

One of the standout features of this hotel is the efficiency of the staff. The check-in and check-out processes were super fast, which is always appreciated after a long day of travel. Additionally, the hotel provides free parking, a major plus for those of us driving in KK where parking can often be a challenge.
The accommodations were excellent. Both the room and the toilet were spotless, maintaining a high standard of cleanliness throughout my stay. I also appreciated that they were generous with essentials—there was sufficient drinking water provided, so I never felt the need to constantly request more.
Breakfast at the hotel was a pleasant experience. While the quality of the food was nice, I did find the variety a bit limited and hope they can provide more choices in the future to keep the buffet exciting.
However, the absolute highlight of the morning was the fresh juice station. It is easily the best part of the breakfast service; you can request specific fruits, and the staff prepares the juice freshly for you right on the spot. It’s a personalized touch that really elevates the meal.

Overall, our stay was very good – actually, better than expected! We had a lovely balcony with a nice view. The pool itself was nice – perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Staff was helpful. After we checked out, we accidentally left some clothes in the washing machine, and they kindly recovered them for us. That kind of thoughtful service makes all the difference!
Downstairs, there are plenty of food options, so you’ll never go hungry.
I’d definitely recommend this place for couples or small families looking for a comfortable, well-located base. Great value for money.

I've seen many room types in this apartment, and I think this pool view room is especially suitable for families with children. The pool is right downstairs, offering a great view and easy access for kids to play in the water. There's also a convenience store and a central market just downstairs.

Absolutely loved this hotel! It was originally hard for three of us to find a suitable place, and we were considering Airbnbs, but then I stumbled upon their three-bedroom apartment and immediately booked it. We were so pleasantly surprised when we walked in; it was definitely the best hotel of our trip!

Our private family stayed here for 4 nights from the first day of our Kota Kinabalu trip, and we are sincerely grateful for the wonderful service and warm welcome we received.
In particular, the front desk service was excellent. They not only answered our questions accurately and empathetically, but they also went above and beyond, handling issues that might not typically fall under their duties with incredible attention to detail. Thank you very much.
The facilities show their age but are well-maintained. The location is also very convenient, within walking distance to A Street, and you can easily walk to supermarkets, convenience stores, a laundromat, and even grab some light snacks. The parking was also very convenient; once our license plate was registered, we could enter and exit as many times as we wanted. Although the capacity wasn't huge, we never had trouble finding a spot during our 4-night stay.
The hotel breakfast was delicious, and the menu varied slightly each day. The only regrettable point was that the male floor manager, or whoever was in charge of the breakfast area, seemed to lack a bit of respect for women and children. (For example, after my husband went back to the room, he bumped into my daughter's chair without a word, and then started giving loud instructions to the staff right next to our table, which we found a bit bothersome.)

Firstly, the building is one and the same with Citadines as in they share a common linked lobby. That was already a good first impression. However, do note that it is more an air bnb within a building likely to have many other similar operators. When we got to the room, boy were we surprised. Contrary to the riff raff one saw entering through the lobby and in the lift, the room was amazing. The level of Id, detailing and thoughtful items and notes was simply not what we expected. The kitchen is beyond fully equipped. It even had a coffee machine complete with pods. My favourite, water filter with hot and cold function. Everything else you would expect to find in a hotel, you would find, and more! Bath robes, iron, hair dryer etc etc. For the clincher, when we woke up in the morning and opened the balcony door we were greeted with an outdoor bathtub overlooking the sea!!! And did I mention that the rooms (living and bedroom) came with designer ceiling fans too. We loved our stay and didn’t expect it to be of this level. Thank you!

I thought it was a hotel, but it turned out to be an apartment rented out by a hotel. Many people I asked didn't even know where it was. It was a bit difficult to contact the owner, but thankfully, Trip.com's concierge helped me get in touch and check in smoothly. The room is quite spacious with good lighting, and it even has a kitchen with an induction cooker and tableware, which was very comfortable. The security is also good, as you need a card to access the elevator. It's just a few minutes' taxi ride to Gaya Street, and since it opened this year, the facilities are all new.

AAnonymous UserIf you are in the area to visit the KKIP industrial zone, the Klagen Regency is perfectly positioned. It is located quite a distance from the main town center, which may seem remote at first, but it is a strategic advantage if you want to avoid a long daily commute to your work sites.
The hotel itself is impressively well-kept. It’s clear that management prioritizes maintenance, as the rooms and common areas feel fresh and clean. The service is equally commendable; the staff are helpful and ensure a smooth, professional experience from check-in to check-out.
Sorry I does not have the photo of the room because I am there for a business meeting but the room is okay to stay. Buffet Breakfast is good, also you can find very nice local food with walking distance .
LLaozhang2008The hotel upgraded our room directly because part of it was under renovation, and they even added an extra bed for free. It was clean and hygienic, with excellent service and even Chinese-speaking staff. The breakfast was plentiful, the gym had a great atmosphere, and the sunset views were absolutely stunning. Highly recommended!
KKT5009Don't book during the rainy season, don't book during the rainy season, don't book during the rainy season. It's from Sep to Feb. I said 3 times it's important if you don't wanna ruin your holiday. We booked 3D2N in mid Sep. Our holiday turned out to be a staycation nightmare in the resort. We can't do all the water activities neither the jungle trekking. The water heater in our room is not working, we have to shower with shivering cold water in this kind of weather. Lots of big size anta inside the room crawling from the bathroom to the bedroom. Make sure you cleaned up for your snacks and drinks, tie up the garbage bag if you don't want these insects to come to your bed, There is also a landslide happening on our first night, luckily we are not affected as we stayed in the ocean villa. There is only one restaurant in this resort, food prices are the same as SG restaurant pricing, no cheap option here. In room dining needs to pay RM25 extra. Staff service is good but this cannot cover the several run down part of the resort.
GGuest UserVery outdated design hotel but still comfortable to stay..the centralized aircond is not cold enough that we had to switch on the fan which was too windy because the fan speed not ajustable....the breakfast has lot variety but doesnt taste great...overall good stay.
GGuest UserWe chose the Ocean Wing room type, and the room was very spacious. The bathtub had a great ambiance. The overall service at the hotel was excellent, and the breakfast was delicious. The environment inside was beautiful, with complete facilities and many activities, including sunset paddleboarding. Plus, it wasn't overly crowded, so you didn't get that 'people-packed' feeling. It's perfect for a relaxing holiday and very unwinding.

GGuest UserThe Lighthouse Hotel Semporna boasts an excellent location, directly facing the jetty for boat excursions. It's within walking distance of island hopping meeting points and seafood restaurants, making it incredibly convenient for getting around and finding food. Opened in 2023, the rooms are spacious and clean, with separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom. The rooftop pool offers sea views, and the overall environment is quiet and peaceful. The front desk service is thoughtful, and they support WeChat communication, offering great value for money. The only downsides are that the breakfast selection is simple and the facilities are quite basic. If you're looking for a luxurious experience, you might want to consider other options. However, it's perfect for travelers primarily focused on island hopping who prioritize convenient accommodation.
AAnonymous UserStaying at the water bungalow in Semporna this time was such a delightful surprise! As soon as we opened the door, we were greeted by an expanse of Tiffany blue ocean. The water was crystal clear, and we could see all sorts of tropical fish right from our balcony. We could go snorkeling anytime we wanted – truly a perfect experience. The water bungalow environment was incredibly clean and comfortable, with a cozy room design that still felt like a perfect vacation. Waking up to ocean views and falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night was so relaxing. The privacy here is excellent; it's far from the city's hustle and bustle, making it ideal for those looking to unwind, have a holiday, or a honeymoon. The staff were all very friendly and enthusiastic, providing meticulous and thoughtful service. They proactively assisted with everything from transfers and dining to itinerary planning, which made us feel very at ease. The food was also great, fresh and delicious, and dining while overlooking the sea was truly enjoyable. Overall, this water bungalow experience in Semporna exceeded our expectations. The scenery, service, and atmosphere were all impeccable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Semporna, and I'll certainly be back again next time! 💙🌴

GGuest UserOur stay at the Sagittarius Water Bungalow was absolutely fantastic! From our butler Xiao Gu to all the staff on the water bungalows and even the owners, everyone was incredibly nice. The rooms are equipped with smart Xiaomi home devices, clean and tidy. Opening the curtains reveals the beautiful 'jellyfish sea,' and the scenery is simply captivating. The food at the water bungalows is also delicious; breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner are all included in the price. Airport transfers and boat rides to the island are also covered, making it excellent value for money! We stayed for five days and four nights and didn't want to leave. The atmosphere on the island is also great, with KTV and song requests every night – the owner and his wife sing really well, by the way! The water bungalows offer a lot of entertainment, including sea fishing, snorkeling, glass-bottom boat tours, and drone photography. The local staff (Xiao Hei) are also happy to help with photos 📸. You can even get your diving certification and go on island-hopping day trips, keeping you thoroughly entertained. We came to Semporna specifically to get our diving certification, and the water bungalow's own dive shop is highly recommended. The instructors are very responsible and dedicated. I'd like to thank Xiao Li and Instructor Mohd Rizal Baba Selleh. The prices are fair, and the teaching focuses on the safety and skills of the students, which is very reassuring. The dive shop owner's wife is also super nice. All in all, this trip was incredibly worthwhile, and we'll definitely be back! I'll also be recommending it to my friends and family 😊
