My recent stay at Hotel Aristo was nothing short of delightful. Nestled in a prime location, this distinguished establishment offers a harmonious blend of elegance, comfort, and refined service. From the moment I stepped into the tastefully designed lobby, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an atmosphere of quiet sophistication. The room exuded understated luxury — impeccably clean, well-furnished, and designed with comfort in mind. The bedding was plush, the lighting ambient, and the bathroom featured premium toiletries alongside a refreshing rain shower. High-speed internet was readily available, making it an excellent choice for both leisure and business travelers. Hotel Aristo’s location is strategically convenient, allowing easy access to key attractions, shopping districts, and fine dining options. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attention to detail, always ready to assist with a courteous smile. For those in search of a hotel that combines affordable luxury with attentive service, Hotel Aristo is a commendable choice. I would gladly return and recommend it to discerning travelers seeking both comfort and class.

Hello there! Good location right in front the pier and closed to everything you need. Double bed in a capsule with all you need as well inside. Clean hostel that’s rare! Just perfect

Overall, it is good value for money. It is less than 10 meters away from my dive shop (cooldivive). The public bathroom is clean and not crowded. There is a place to dry clothes. The room does not have air conditioning but it is not hot. The sound insulation is indeed poor, but the neighbors are civilized. It is a good choice for those who have not booked a dormitory for diving students.

Honest review as recent guest of Promenade service apartment, it's highly recommended! The place was clean and tidy, easy to locate, conveniently close to the city, restaurant and variety of convenient shop. Not to mention their excellent customer service by the receptionist. There was a guy in dark coloured coat (i believe he was the superior) and a receptionist upon checking in, and upon checking out, the female customer service (who i believe are also a superior) attended us. They were very helpful, warm and friendly while delivering service. We are very thankful and satisfied with the service given by the property. Overall, it was a wonderful experience staying there. Thank you so much! Deeply appreciated 🙏👍 P/S : Sorry, the pic have nothing to do with the apartment🙏

The location here is fantastic! It's surrounded by popular foodie spots, but the Wi-Fi is terrible – barely good enough to send texts. If you rely on a good internet connection, I'd suggest looking elsewhere, because the Wi-Fi here is practically useless!

Great location! The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was nice and clean. The only downside was that housekeeping didn’t replace the toiletries or towels on the second day. Still, it’s a lovely place to stay and I’d definitely recommend it.

GGuest User*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.

GGero SGH Benjamin is located in a quieter area, up a steep slope and away from the city's hustle and bustle. It's a beautiful area to wake up to the mountains and would be a wonderful spot if it makes a few improvements to the space and amenities. 1) The spring bed is terribly firm, you can also feel the springs through the bed. The clothes rack was also almost going to fall apart. 2) The ventilator was not working so the moisture of the toilet came into the room instead, making it very moist. 3) The water kettle we were provided almost caught fire as smoke was coming out of the plug. Thankfully we caught it in time. When we reported this to the reception and asked if they want to get someone to check, we only got an ”Ok”. Perhaps it's a language barrier but it wasn't reassuring that the next traveller would be safe. 4) It would be nice to provide at least one chair in the room. It'll also be nice to have a seating area outside of the container cabin so people can enjoy the view of the mountains.

GGuest UserIt’s similar to hotels/guesthouses in China, and much simpler than domestic budget hotel chains such as Home Inns or GreenTree Inn. Hotels in Sabah generally feel two stars lower than those in China. The one I stayed in in Kota Kinabalu is owned by Marriott The Le Méridien hotel is also comparable to domestic All Seasons hotels, so don’t expect too much. The sanitation is quite clean, and there are often people chanting sutras with loud speakers in the morning and evening... overall it's not bad. It is two kilometers away from the pier and takes a taxi for 6-8RM. You can go to the seafood market to bargain for dragon knives, which is quite fun!

GGuest UserStayed in a shared dorm. Walking distance to RDC a little further than other options but perfectly manageable. Dorm and bathrooms were clean and as advertised. Not much space to put stuff but you get what you pay for with a shared dorm. Food and drinks options at the restaurant are expensive and for several meals I opted to eat at nearby resorts which were cheaper. Nevertheless, the atmosphere at the reception/restaurant was fantastic and I really enjoyed it. Staff were extremely hospitable and helpful. No shelter between reception and rooms was a bit of a bummer but no big deal. Wifi only available at the reception. Overall, great value for the price.

GGuest UserOverall, everything was okay, but there was one significant issue: no iron was provided in the room. We had to go all the way down to the first floor to iron our clothes and headscarves. This was particularly inconvenient as we were on the second floor with no elevator, making it quite a hassle to constantly go up and down just to iron. They really should provide irons on every floor. It's tough for guests to keep doing that, especially for those with young children. I understand it's a budget hotel, but even other budget accommodations I've stayed at manage to provide irons on each floor. I sincerely hope they can improve this.

CCLLowI stayed in the fan dorm room at Sepilok Jungle Resort, and it was a great experience for anyone used to Malaysia’s climate. The dorm was clean, simple, and well-kept — exactly what you need after a long day exploring. Shared bathrooms were tidy and maintained regularly. The whole resort feels calm and peaceful, with beautiful ponds and lush greenery everywhere you walk. Location-wise, it’s perfect. Just a short stroll to the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and Sun Bear Conservation Centre, which made the stay even more convenient. If you’re okay with fan rooms and enjoy being close to nature, this dorm is a great, budget-friendly choice. Comfortable, quiet, and surrounded by real jungle vibes. Highly recommended! 🌴✨

BBAL.RSure! Here's a **single, concise review** of a vacation at **Kundasang Mount Garden**: --- **”A peaceful mountain escape with stunning views”** I stayed at Kundasang Mount Garden for a short getaway, and it was a refreshing break from city life. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking—Mount Kinabalu right in view, misty mornings, and cool, crisp air all day. The room was clean, spacious, and had everything I needed, including a small kitchen and private balcony. The garden outside is lovely, with flowers, vegetables, and even a little stream. It’s very quiet and perfect for relaxing. However, getting there was a bit tricky—the road is narrow and steep, so I’d recommend using a 4WD. Also, the hot water was a bit unreliable
