The hotel front staff is friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is good. The sunset view from the rooftop is so beautiful. In addition, I had a great time with my child because I could see the take-off scene of the aircraft up close. There are many useful stores such as restaurants and marts near the hotel, so it is convenient. It is very close to the airport, so it is convenient.
If you pay for the deposit with your card at check-in, it cannot be canceled immediately at check-out, and it is a pity that it takes about two weeks. Most hotels cancel the card approval right away at check-out.
I'm waiting for the deposit I paid with my credit card to be canceled properly.

The house internal is superb: clean, everything is functional & provided (washer, dryer, water heater, A/C, utensils, hair dryer).
The instructions given are clear too. Finding place is not that difficult. Except for heavy traffic to get to the entrance - so pls avoid peak hoursâŚ
We stayed here on our way back to KL from Kota Kinabalu (KKIA airport). Photo below was my photo with Kinabalu Mountain on the background. It is about 2.5hours drive from this place.

Hotel is well-located.  Staff were welcoming and helpful in every interaction. Plenty of food, markets, malls within walking distance.  Bed was comfortable and the room clean, although the air conditioner fan was a bit noisy.  It is puzzling why many of the hotels in KK, including the Promenade, carpet their rooms when the environment is so humid.  Nice view of the ocean with beautiful sunset views.  Compliments to the bakers who made delicious bread and pastries for breakfast!  They were far above average for hotels in Malaysia.  Access to the pool was a bit awkward as the hotel was undergoing renovations and  required passing through a dank hallway and down several flights of stairs and then walking alongside the kitchen's outdoor grilling area.  More loungers are needed poolside.  The hotel gym was not available as it was part of ongoing renovations which were underway in various parts of this large hotel.  I did not hear construction noise during my stay while in the room.

Good design internal and everything was pretty new. The staff there were kind and friendly.
We were upgraded to another better room type due to the hygiene issue from the room assigned to us. There were breadcrumbs and hair from the previous guest when we entered. The new room we swapped to was much nicer however the basket close to sink was still moulded so we had to ask for a replacement.
The hotel itself is located in a complex building that is used for other commercial and residential purposes as well. (Check google street view) It is a bit far from the city center except for the Imago mall - though you still have to cross the road. It is close to the main road and the outside feels a bit chaotic. The noise didnât bother us that much however your room view on the grand road is not guaranteed - your view might be the apartments next to you.
If I were able to choose again, I might go with other city hotels than this one. I wouldnât rate it a bad hotel but for me it is a disappointment because there are better choices.

The hotel is so near to the jetty for islands hopping, like 5 minutes walk. There is a 7/11 downstairs and a duty free shop, a shopping mall, upsidedown museum and many restaurants within 5minutes walking distance. There are 6 of us for this trip, therefore we booked 3 bedrooms family suite, which is so big, 3 bedrooms with 1 big living room, balcony, kitchen (microwave, utensils, plates and bowls, fridge, small pot, induction cooker, range hood), and amazingly 3 bathrooms, I think is pretty ideal for family.

Hotel grandis is the best hotel I have ever stayed in kota Kinabalu this is my second time stay at the hotel.
Before I have stayed in Hilton, Mercure, Hyatt but still I feel grandis is more comfortable because of its location, easy access to mall, big rooms, comparing other hotel like Hilton, Mercure the rooms are very small no bath tub or sea view.
We book a deluxe room in grandis we had a sea view, the rooms are spacious, bed is very comfortable my kid enjoyed the bath tub, perfectly organised room, swimming pool and gym also available at the roof top.
Good thing is that they have paid parking, buffet breakfast was pretty decent,easy access to Suria Sabah mall.

GGuest UserBreakfast is good. Room is spacious and OK though a bit dusty here and there. Nice view from my room. Friendly staff and Overall is ok for me.
AAfonsoReally bad staff - they spoke really bad English and they werenât helpful at all .
The door of the restaurant says open until 11pm , I arrived before 9.30pm , reed the menu and then when I was about to order they said the restaurant closes at 10pm and they donât serve after 9.30pm. Iâve checked the watch and it was 9.32pm - and all they said was âsorry sirâ with a smirk on their faces
Next day I asked I went to the concierge for some tips regarding the tour to see the Proboscis monkeys and he couldnât explain anything at all. Also asked for some recommendations regarding where I could have a good steak he couldnât also advise a restaurant.
Finally i put the car in the reception.
No one explained how the system worked. I had to wait for someone that spoke proper English to come and explain.
If I was in a 2 star lodge in the middle of nowhere I could understand such a bad staff but this was in a 4 star hotel in the capital of Sabah

BBenjamin Sch.The location was great and the staff super friendly. A part of the beach was reserved for hotel guests and was not overcrowded. The team was trying its best to pick up all plastic in the morning from the beach but unfortunately during the day more was coming. People should take more care themselves.
You can go snorkeling at the beach but to arrive the corals you need to wait for the tide and have to be a good swimmer. Then itâs beautiful out there.
The breakfast was great and a good combination between buffet and menu.
Overall we can recommend it for 2 nights. Donât forget your mosquito repellent and bites relief.
We saw several Gerrys;) - beautiful creatures.
GGuest UserPlease DO NOT book this unit SA#01, you will definitely REGRET. They never maintain the unit well. These are the problem we faced during our stays at this unit :
1. Before check in I wrote to confirm whether is there a washing machine. Their answer is 'YES' but they never said it was NOT WORKING until when you want to use then only they said washing machine is out of order.
2. Horrible water leaking at toilet sink that cause the floor all wet the whole time. Until we really can't stand and need to use the kitchen sink to brush teeth and hand washing.
3. Master bed room air conditioner is not working well, instead of cool air it come out like warm air.
4.Not extra garbage begs provided.
5.The whole apartment only 2 socket can be used for HP, Laptop charging. Imagine we have to queue to charge our HP.
6.Did not really mention only 1 toilet attached in between 2 rooms.
Please think twice if you are booking this unit.
OObotHello my name awang from kota kinabalu,i stay at Greenage Homestay for 1 night at blue daze. The house is so beautiful with room and wall design ideas. Greenage Homestay are very recommended for family trip,almost house facility are safe to use. Television,air condition,fan kitchen appliances and washing machine are high quality type. we will stay again soon. thank you Greenage Homestay kk.
OOn cloud 9The location is a bit far from the city centre but easily accessible with car. The BEST part of this hotel is they have parking for the guests. The room is spacious and clean. The checkin process took around 15-20 minutes. But checkout is very fast. They have cafe, gym, swimming pool. They provide basic amenities.
BUT the bathroom cleanliness need to be improve. The sink, toilet seat and the bathtub got mold on it. The ac is not cool enough and the ceiling fan is not working or maybe it just a decoration ? I tried to contact the front desk but no one answering. No slippers. The iron board needs to change.

NNurJust nice but we got the room that already cannot open the door near at swimming pool but its okey maybe for safety first and by the way make sure after this change the time for check in because we felt so fast when time for check out at 11am and check in at 3pm
AAnonymous UserLike: The room is spacious and has a hot water dispenser, which is great. The kitchen can also be used for cooking. Netflix is ââprovided, making it convenient for families to stay. Contacted the B&B and got a quick reply.
Areas for improvement: There is a dent in the mattress, the toilet seat, the liquid dispenser is loose, the air conditioner, and the hardware could be more ideal.
In summary: great value for money.
