4-Star Hotels in Sabah, Malaysia

The look of the hotel from the outside is so misleading. We passed by the hotel before check in and did not have good vibes about it. But once we entered it was like in a different place altogether! The ambience and feel is so elegant and beautiful. The way to the rooms are like secret entrance to another realm! So cool! The room is so welcoming and gorgeous. Loved our stay and wished that we were there longer!

⸻ I had a wonderful stay at Citadines Waterfront Kota Kinabalu. The location is excellent – right by the waterfront with easy access to Suria Sabah Mall, local eateries, and Jesselton Point for island hopping. The rooms are modern, clean, and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and all the amenities needed for both short and long stays. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist, which made the whole experience even more pleasant. I especially appreciated the rooftop pool area, which offers a relaxing atmosphere and a nice view of the city and sea. Overall, this property is a perfect choice for both business and leisure travelers who want convenience, comfort, and great service in Kota Kinabalu. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to staying here again.

Travelling have always taken a toll on my health. There’s a few staffs worth mentioning for their 5 Stars Services from the Heart and the Professionalism displayed. First and always; Florence the front management, Aida, Arman, Patricia and last but not least Isham the bellhop! They are lovely and wonderful individuals who helped contribute to my creature comforts. Once I had a severe mobility issues and Patricia including Isham assisted me with my meals. Florence and Arman took care of my room. Ensured that it was conducive enough for me. My deepest gratitude.

It's a relatively new hotel in Kota Kinabalu. However, for such a modern hotel, they still use traditional keys for room access, which is quite inconvenient. Basic toiletries are provided. For stays of up to three days, housekeeping does not clean the room; only bath towels are replaced. The air conditioning was excessively cold for the first two days, but by the last two, even set at 21 degrees, it felt like it was just blowing natural air with no cooling effect. Unfortunately, there's a foul-smelling ditch right next to the hotel, and the stench is immediately noticeable as soon as you step outside.

Stayed in Jul2025 Did not manage to take a photo, but when I first arrive at the room, lift up the duvet, I see threads of hair on the bed. Please pay more attention to such details when cleaning the room Breakfast selection is ok; lunch menu has 20% off if you are IHG member (any tier), ordered their chicken Mee goreng, portion of chicken is very little, so effectively end up eating whole plate of noodles

This hotel in Putatan area is the best choice! We start our road trip journey from Brunei at 5pm and arrive at the hotel at 11pm. Smooth and quick check in. Friendly & eficient staff. I highly recommend Pan Borneo Hotel because of its clean and comfortable room.

Such a wonderful place to stay. Nice and cozy. Even the rooms are spacious. The ambience is nice also. We booked a family room for our stay here.

Everything is great except for the lighting in Room 568, why is it so dim? I was straining my eyes on my laptop because lighting wasn't that great. Bed is comfortable and bathroom spacious enough. The big fridge was a bonus, the same with the pantry. Recommended stay as this hotel is very near to Imago Shopping Mall

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.

The hotel is situated on a hill at the edge of KK city, offering a peaceful setting surrounded by greenery that creates a relaxing, nature connected atmosphere. I had a pleasant stay, with friendly and helpful staff. The hotel also features a gym and swimming pool. The swimming pool were not available for use during my stay. Breakfast was average, but the selection was sufficient to start the day. Overall, I had a good experience. However, the only downside was the poor soundproofing as the noise from the adjacent room through the connecting door was quite noticeable.
