Hotels in Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu

On of the best hotel in KK! From front desk to housekeeping, it was such a great experience! Include your breakfast package if you decided to stay here! You won’t regret it! Spread of selection for you, noodles, rice, sushi, you name it! Definitely worth it! The scenery and view from the hotel room was breathtaking. You’re able to see Mt Kinabalu (if it’s not raining!). Sky is super bright by 5:45-6am, be sure to catch the sunrise ! Overall, no regret choosing this hotel for my 5D4N trip! 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻

Three of us stayed here. The room was incredibly spacious and very comfortable. It's a quick taxi ride to the beach. I would definitely recommend this place. The room was well-equipped with a fridge, washing machine, and a water purifier that dispenses both hot and cold water. The balcony was perfect for drying clothes. We were a bit pressed for time and didn't get a chance to use the pool. We connected with the host in advance and received a detailed check-in guide, which made the whole check-in process incredibly smooth. Getting taxis was also very convenient.

The unit which I stay in is quite spacious and the view here is good since the location is just beside the airport and please add some wardrobe because i don't know where to put my belongings. Swimming is awesome and it has a very nice view of Mount Kinabalu.

this is the best place i have ever been to... everything is great here, location close to the sea, high floor and view from the window, there is a large balcony, air conditioning, TV, hair dryer (there is even a diffuser), iron, the room is very spacious, large comfortable bed and the most comfortable pillows in my life!! I advise everyone to visit here if you are in kota kinabalu. there is also an amazing pool and ”observation deck” on the roof, from the window and from the roof you can watch how planes land. perhaps the only negative is the lack of grocery stores nearby, you have to walk for 10 minutes. I was also pleased with the communication with the owner, he quickly answered me when I could not figure out the stove and washing machine, etc.

Nice hotel near the beach and airport. The room has great space and nice view to the sea and airport. Auto parking available and in a quiet location but convenient to go to beach and town. The hotel rooftop pool and deck has a nice to the sea. You can watch the landing and takeoff of the planes too. The sound from the plane is bearable but the sound insulation can be better especially from the walkway when people walking, chatting and banging door. The amenities and cleanliness can be improved. Used bathrobes was left in the cabinet and new bathrobe was not provided. The housekeeping staff clearly omitted on this.

Chaya Hotel in Tanjung Aru offers a pleasant and comfortable stay for travelers. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with modern amenities that cater to both leisure and business guests. The hotel's location is convenient, close to the airport and the Tanjung Aru beach, making it easy for guests to explore the area. The staff are friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the stay. The on-site restaurant offers a decent variety of local and international dishes, making dining convenient. While it may not have luxury facilities, Chaya Hotel is a great value for money for a short stay in Kota Kinabalu.

The place is wonderful, my view in the morning from a lovely balcony is impossible to capture in a photo, the smell of a sea breeze and the sounds of birds everywhere. The rooms are very clean and beautiful, they capture the esthetics of the Kota Kinabalu. It is a minute away from the beautiful and vast beach, it is absolutely an underrated place. The staff is great, they have let me check in early, and also, there’s a luggage storage, so I was able to just bring a backpack to my outing trip for couple of days. Also, it is near the airport, which is a plus if you plan on traveling further in Sabah by local flights. Thank you very much for being a good host, O will choose this place again for sure! ☀️

In Airbnb housing, there is no counter. The customer service staff on the phone can speak English, is friendly and easy to communicate with, and the check-in procedure is smooth. The indoor space is about 30 square meters, there is a swimming pool and a gym on the roof, and the airport runway is right outside the window. It is a good choice for aviation fans. The sound of planes taking off and landing is obvious, which is an experience we like.

房間好大 好衞生 但是沒有拖鞋 也沒有牙膏牙刷 雖然是沒有前台 但是可以聯洛到工作人員 工作人員的服務態度好好

Overall, my stay at Megah D'Aru was enjoyable, offering good value for the price. It’s a great option for travelers looking for a comfortable stay with easy access to both the airport and the beach. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu who is looking for a simple yet satisfying experience.
