I had an excellent stay at Ming Garden Hotel & Residences for my recent business trip. The hotel hits the mark on all fronts—the location is strategic for getting around, and the service was incredibly efficient and welcoming. My room was spotless and very comfortable for working. Highly recommended for business travellers looking for a hassle-free experience.

The front desk service was good, and they offered luggage storage. The environment was nice, it had a bathtub, and it was relatively clean. However, the air conditioning was broken. I called the front desk, but the landline volume was so low and garbled I could barely hear them. After a long conversation, they said the AC unit was broken and I requested a room change. They said a room change wouldn't fix the AC either. They called a maintenance person who then said it would take an hour to fix. We had already checked in at 10:30 PM, so the hotel's attitude was basically, either you wait for me to fix it before you sleep, or don't bother fixing it at all... Also, I must emphasize that this hotel requires a 100 MYR deposit!!! We had an early morning flight out of Kota Kinabalu the next day and didn't have enough cash on hand. We were forced to go out in the rain at 11 PM to an ATM at the bank across the street. The exchange rate was bad, and the fees were high; we were charged over 12 MYR in fees for 50 MYR, plus the 80-something MYR principal, it was almost 100 RMB. I didn't take pictures of the room. P1: The instant noodles were delicious. P2: Undrinkable.

Clean and tidy, spacious rooms, well-equipped, and a great location! Very nice. You can see the ocean right from your window, and even catch the sunset in the evening!!! There's also a beachfront pool on the 7th floor 😄 where you can also watch the sunset.

The room was spacious and very clean, and the service was excellent. It's super convenient to stay here; you just cross a skybridge and there's a huge mall where you can shop every day. The hotel room itself is quite large, which is great for family trips, and the big bed was very comfortable. The two guys at the front desk were also really helpful!

My stay at Hilton Kota Kinabalu was professional and comfortable overall, balancing business efficiency with a holiday atmosphere. It's a very mature and reliable upscale hotel option in the city center of Sabah. 📍 **Location** The hotel is located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, with convenient transportation. It's about a 15-minute drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport, and surrounded by a wide range of restaurants, shopping malls, and banks. It's very convenient for accessing the waterfront and major business districts, making it suitable for business trips and short stays. 🛏️ **Room Experience** The room design continues Hilton's consistent modern business style, with a well-planned layout. The bedding is very comfortable, and soundproofing is excellent. The room's cleanliness and maintenance are kept at a high standard, effectively alleviating travel fatigue. 🍽️ **Dining & Executive Lounge** The breakfast offers a rich variety of options, combining Chinese and Western cuisine, with efficient service. The Executive Lounge provides a quiet and private environment, suitable for business meetings or brief work. In the evenings, it offers light meals and drinks, providing a professional and orderly experience overall. 🏊 **Facilities** The hotel is equipped with a gym and an outdoor swimming pool, both well-maintained. The pool area offers expansive views, balancing urban scenery with a relaxing experience, perfect for a short break during a busy itinerary. 🤝 **Service Experience** The front desk and service staff are highly professional overall, with smooth communication and seamless English service. Their timely responses reflect the mature service system of an international chain hotel. ✅ **Overall Review** Hilton Kota Kinabalu is highly suitable for: • Business travel • Company hospitality • Mid-to-high-end guests • Trips requiring stable accommodation and service standards The overall stay experience was solid and dependable, making it one of the hotels in Kota Kinabalu worth long-term partnership and recommendation.

Thank you for providing an all-in-one environment for busy professionals like me. A place where I can work, meeting old friends, and at the same time allow my 3 boys to enjoy themselves safely. The availability of both a swimming pool and a small beach, with lifeguards on duty, gave me peace of mind throughout the day. the room was also clean and convinient for us also to enjoy beautiful morning sunrise. I was able to continue my work comfortably, spending time reading and writing on my laptop by the pool, surrounded by beautiful seaside scenery while watching my son playing. The experience was further enhanced by the availability of good food at the restaurant despite busy with customer, waitress e.g Ms Shamira and all were very helpful. Added with relaxing drinks in the evening while listening to live band performances, and quiet moments of healing by the beach, resting on the sofa with the sound of the sea. The staff were friendly and helpful, e.g Mr Alex and the team, who made our stay even more pleasant. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to come again.

As a business traveller, I had a solid stay at Marriott Kota Kinabalu. The sunset view over the waterfront is a real highlight. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with great amenities that made work and rest easy. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Convenient location and professional service overall. I also manage to do some fishing just at the waterfront.

The decor is a bit dated, but it's very quiet with a nice environment. There's a huge pool with a big slide that both adults and kids will love. It's perfect for a family or couples' getaway.

22020yiwannianAn absolutely fantastic experience, you simply *must* book a sea-view room! Not only do you get an unbeatable ocean vista, but stunning views are everywhere you look. 👍 I forgot my slippers 🩴, so the thoughtful provision of slippers 🩴 was excellent and much appreciated. The most heartwarming touch: after check-out, they offer a temporary lounge where you can shower, take a bath 🛀, and even use a sauna, complete with hair dryers.

AAnonymous UserJust got back home yesterday, and I'm determined to write a thorough review for this hotel. My kids also encouraged me to review it, because it truly deserves it. We booked four ocean villas for two nights, and I initially thought our chances of encountering issues would be higher with such a large booking. But we didn't run into any problems at all! In fact, I even regretted not booking more nights, mainly because I was put off by too many negative reviews on Ctrip. 1. **Service:** If you're comfortable communicating in English, the hotel service is absolutely fantastic. Most of the staff speak excellent English and were diligent in explaining activities, facilities, schedules, and programs. They showed us where everything was in the room and proactively informed us about the cost if we broke any of the toiletries bottles. The higher cost for broken bottles is because the contents are genuinely expensive – they're pure plant essential oil toiletries. As someone who regularly uses essential oils, I know they shouldn't be stored in plastic. Plus, these toiletries left our hair and skin feeling moisturized, not dry. I found them to be very effective. If you're worried about breaking them, just place them on the floor. 2. **Seawater:** The seawater is quite clear. While it's not a 'jelly blue,' the clarity is definitely good. We did experience a heavy downpour one day, and the water became a bit murky the next, but it was still perfectly acceptable. The photo of the large sea turtle looks a bit blurry because it was taken with a waterproof phone case, but the water itself was actually very clear. That was taken from under our water villa. The manta ray was photographed near the stairs of our water villa room. 3. **No Outside Food Policy:** They don't allow outside food in the rooms because it attracts ants and monkeys. The front desk has a dedicated area for storing snacks. We didn't bring any snacks into our room and always closed the door promptly, so we didn't have any bugs or insects. A crucial point: absolutely do not feed the monkeys! 4. **Meals:** We had all our meals at the hotel restaurant, and the food was truly delicious. A main meal costs around 90+ MYR per person (about 160 CNY). We felt the food was excellent, with a good variety of dishes and drinks beyond just the main courses. The kids' portions were a bit small; our four children ordered 7 kids' meals, and eventually, we just ordered them regular adult meals instead. 5. **Hot Water:** Regarding previous reviews mentioning no hot water, one of our rooms indeed had this issue. We called the front desk, and it turned out there's a 'water heater' button on the wall. Hot water was available within 15 minutes. So, don't hesitate to ask! Don't be shy; good service often requires you to speak up. 6. **Free Rentals:** Paddleboards, small boats, fins, and masks are all available for free rental. 7. **Marine Life:** In the ocean, we spotted baby sharks, baby manta rays, triggerfish, archerfish (the ones that shoot water), porcupinefish, and even a large sea turtle (which is rare, but we got lucky!). 8. **Welcome/Farewell:** We received a welcome ceremony and a welcome drink upon arrival. Upon departure, we sometimes had the whole staff waving goodbye to us. 9. **Guest Demographics:** There were a lot of European and American guests at the hotel, some Koreans, but not many Chinese guests. I wonder if this is due to the excessive negative reviews on Ctrip. 10. **Cleanliness:** The hygiene was excellent, and the rooms were very clean. Each room came with life vests, so you could go snorkeling anytime. That pretty much covers it. I believe if your English communication is good, feel free to chat with the front desk and restaurant staff; they are very engaging. At 8 AM, the hotel organizes a free jungle trek. It was a bit tiring, and we didn't see much – just hiking uphill. For reference, my experience this trip, and with these four rooms, was genuinely excellent. Having been to places like the Maldives, Bali, and Koh Lipe... I think this hotel offers great value for money, and I would definitely come back. Hotels at this price point on Koh Lipe before were significantly worse.

XXiaolanmaosarahThe hotel was really just so-so, but its location is great. It's only a 10-minute walk to the pier for boat excursions, and there are supermarkets and restaurants all around. However, I really have to complain about the hotel's service. We were two adults and one child, and we brought our own toiletries. We just wanted to ask for one more bath towel, but the hotel refused... Honestly, it's the first time I've encountered such a stingy hotel. I wasn't trying to take it home; it's just that two towels aren't enough for three people to shower. That's easy to understand, right? Seriously, it's speechless...

MMaishushuThe service attitude is absolutely top-notch, truly reflecting its premium price. We had a small hiccup at check-in; initially, we weren't given a room with a bathtub as requested, and the hotel was reluctant to change it. Thankfully, Trip.com intervened and helped us get the room changed. A big shout-out to Trip.com! 👍 The environment is absolutely stunning. I highly recommend booking a sea-view room; the view is simply incredible. It's a shame it rained heavily for two consecutive days, so we missed out on the beautiful sunset, which was a bit disappointing. The coastline is long, and the sand is incredibly soft and fine, perfect for babies to walk on without any issues. Food options in the surrounding area are quite limited, and the local restaurants weren't very good. The hotel's dining options are a bit pricey, and the menu became repetitive after a while, making meals a bit of a hassle. Aside from that, the quality from this brand is consistently excellent, as always. It's definitely worth it!

MMuhammad Damian SanI had an absolutely unforgettable experience at Sutera @ Mantanani Island. From the moment I arrived, I was completely mesmerized by the island’s beauty the crystal clear turquoise waters, soft pearly sand, and breathtaking views felt like something out of a dream. Every moment spent there was pure bliss. What truly made the experience even more special was the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Their genuine smiles and welcoming hospitality made me feel right at home and added so much heart to the trip. Whether relaxing by the beach or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, everything about Mantanani felt magical. Overall, it was a perfect escape, and I truly enjoyed every second of my stay. Sutera @ Mantanani Island is a hidden gem, and without a doubt, I will be returning again in the future.

The location is superb; you can walk to Jesselton Point and many highly-rated restaurants. Suria Sabah shopping mall is right next door, which is great for shopping. It has nothing but pros; it would be even better if the room furniture could be updated!

GGuest UserEverything was fine. Service, location. Easy access. Free parking. Beautiful sight of room. Except I do feel the size of beds seem smaller than other hotel. Location is nice. Easy to walk around other places. Near KK plaza & walking distance to waterfront & centrepoint sabah. But do smell market at the parking lot. Swimming pool cgood. Got both for adult and kids. I do wish more table & seats provided outside of changing room. Breakfast was worth it. For kids & adults. I would suggest if you could add hot chocolate for drinks as well. Personally I would like to stay at this hotel next time.

EE3710****The hotel staff were all polite and enthusiastic. I didn't encounter any issues with discrimination against Chinese guests, no hot water at night, and no deposit was required. You can tell the hotel is a bit old, but it's well-maintained, especially the large private beach where you can snorkel, swim, or leisurely watch the sunset without having to deal with crowds elsewhere. That's a huge plus! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 On the second night, I saw a dying cockroach in the bathroom (its antennae wiggled for a long time). Considering it's a tropical region, it's understandable, and the fact that it was dying suggests the hotel uses pest control. However, housekeeping randomly took guests' personal belongings when cleaning the room. Two plastic bags with items in them were on the TV cabinet, and they were gone when I returned at night. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation in my 10+ years of travel. Although the items weren't valuable, their absence was very inconvenient. Housekeeping shouldn't subjectively assume guests' items are trash and take them away. That was a bit frustrating. Additionally, service efficiency was very low. One evening, I went to the front desk to ask staff to send some bottled water to the room. The front desk staff were very friendly and enthusiastically agreed, but I waited over two hours and nothing arrived. The in-room service phone was either busy or completely silent (maybe just a prop?), so I had no choice but to go down to the lobby again to get water. We checked in around 12 PM, but were told we couldn't get into the room until 3 PM (they informed us politely). The next day, I turned on the 'make up room' light before going out for lunch, but when we returned to the room around 2 PM, it still hadn't been cleaned. In short, everything was slow; it felt like the hotel was understaffed and overwhelmed.

AAnonymous UserThis is the sort of place where the staff will always greet you with ”hello, sir/ma'am” whenever they see you. Nice swimming pool and very good food at the restaurant, even though slightly pricy at first (I guess it's fine being a resort), the portions are actually huge and very fresh. Try their lemon chicken on rice for 20 ringgit (February 2024). All you can eat breakfast included for free even with the dorm bed: fried noodles, a very thick pancake, fruit, British breakfast, beef sausages, coffee, juice, etc. Walk-in price is 80RM, cheaper here on Trip. The dorm looks exactly the same as the one I staid in Kinabatangan, which is always funny (same contractor?). Comfortable night, with a new AC and fan, specially so considering I had it all to myself since the other few guests they had had private accommodation. Dorm showers have plenty of hot water and are clean, but there's no soap or amenities beyond the towel they give you at check-in. Bring your own. The staff at the restaurant sometimes disappears for no reason in the middle of service, even if there's about 20 of them considering réception is right there. They helped me book a taxi to the airport (50 ringgit), since there's no grab available (spent 1h looking for one). Don't bother trying to get one, ask them to call a taxi for you, really. This resort is about 1km away from the three main things to do at sepilok. You will be walking on the side of the road to get anywhere since transportation options are scarce and expensive. Overall this is standard of service here in Borneo, so don't settle for less than this.
