Kota Kinabalu Hotels with Bars

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The check-in process was smooth and easy, and the hotel itself is beautiful with clean and comfortable rooms. What made the experience even more special was the thoughtful service. they helped me arrange a birthday cake in advance and even gave me a free room upgrade. I truly appreciate the warm hospitality. Highly recommended!

Rooms are clean. Room is nice and spacious. Facilities like the gym and pool are sufficient. Buffet breakfast was as expected as well. Basically a you pay for what you get kind of place. If you’re the type of traveler that likes to enjoy the hotel amenities and just chill there then this is a good place to go to. Has a very nice Chinese seafood restaurant located behind the hotel. Also for supper you could head to the fried chicken fast food restaurant behind the hotel too which is open 24 hours. Parking is free for guests who are staying.

A centrally located luxury hotel offering stunning sea views, spacious rooms, and top-notch service. The breakfast buffet is excellent, especially the local dishes, and the staff are warm and attentive. Ideal for both leisure and business travelers, with easy access to the waterfront and city attractions. A comfortable and elegant base for exploring Kota Kinabalu.

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.

The room air cond connot be adjusted. It should gave individual control instead of master control. Other is very good

I visited the hotel with my parents, my wife and my daughter. We stayed for four nights, checking in on 3rd May and checked out on the 7th. This is actually my second time visiting this hotel, the first time being 30 years ago, again with my parents. I had great memories as a kid so I was looking forward to this trip. The First night was great, had dinner at Coco Joe's and rested after a long trip. The Second day was fantastic, breakfast and dinner and Cafe Tutu, met a lovely dining lady named Rohana. During the day, we enjoyed the great activities of the Leisure Center. Friendly staff from there made the experience children friendly. And the icing of the dessert - the sunset parade, Jamie loves it. Housekeeping did a surprise heartwarming job, covering the lion doll of my daughter with a little towel on the pillow, very cute and thoughtful move. The Third Day we went out to town so didn't stay much time in the hotel. The Fourth Day, was quite disappointing to be honest. Housekeeping did not arrive in the morning when we were out playing at the pool. I understand as there are many rooms to take care of. We went back to the room to rest between 2-4pm, switch on the ”Do not disturb” button, and somehow housekeeping team arrived so they put a card to say they could not clean as we put up the do not disturb button. Fair enough, but again, there was five hours in the morning which they could clean the room. Leaving the room again at 4pm for activities, I called service center for housekeeping, switched off the ”Do not disturb” button and went out. We returned at 7:45pm, still there was no housekeeping. Frustrated, I called the service center again requesting for housekeeping, they replied they will check and follow up with housekeeping. Half an hour later, still no one turned up. Extremely irritated, I called service center for housekeeping again. This time, housekeeping finally arrived but our whole family were waiting for clean towels to have shower. VERY disappointing with the effecitivness of housekeeping and service center on this incident. On that very same day, I discovered a big crockcroach in the toilet, so I do have a big quetion mark on the housekeeping of this hotel. The day was worsen when we had dinner at Coco Joe's, where we wait for nearly an hour (from 6pm to 6:53pm) before we get all our food served. I did complain it to the manager when he came by, which he did apologise and waived our dining fee. Despite my disgrunt towards the long waiting time of the dishes, I would like to give credit on the manager (I think his name is Mr Kan?) in terms of how he managed the complaint. Overall, the experience is mixed. With friendly staff at leisure center + Cafe Tutu, good food but unreasonably long waiting time at Coco Joe's, and disappointing housekeeping after the heartwarming performance on the second day. The hardware of the hotel is great (view, pool design, restaurant seating) but our experience was mainly affected by the staff. On this ocassions, I would like to give commendation to the following staff: Rohana, Majid (both from Cafe Tutu), all staff from Leisure Centre (especially the two ladies and two gentleman hosting water polo and volleyball respectively), and Kan from Coco Joe's on complaint management. Please keep up on the good work you already have, and work hard on things that requires improvement:)

I recently stayed at Le Meridien and was thoroughly impressed by the top-class service. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel valued from the moment we arrived. Room service was prompt and efficient, arriving without delay whenever we needed it. Additionally, when we arrived hours ahead of schedule, the team graciously accommodated us with an early check-in—3 hours before standard time—which was greatly appreciated. To top it off, the sunset views from your rooftop bar were absolutely breathtaking and made our stay unforgettable. Thank you for a flawless experience—we’ll definitely be returning!

I didn’t expect the place was so near to the kk Times Square and next to imago. Just across and use the bridge. Thus location was very convenient. The rooms are spacious and clean and to enter the floor need card which is safe for woman. The staffs are very friendly and helpful as well and was able to assist and even help in our grab service informing them to come right infront of the hotel. I really love the ambience. And there is also restaurant and convenience store at the same building.

Despite the gloomy weather my friends and I had an enjoyable stay. Highlight is the 23F bar, good food and cocktails are super delicious. Highly recommend anything based with rice wine and plum. Love the staffs, very friendly and responsive. Even after last order they managed to make an exception and made my fav cocktail haus bah. The service will definitely be one of the reasons for my future comeback stay here.

The location of the hotel is close to the airport and also the city area. All the staff is friendly. Will come back again.
