This hotel has lotsssss of rooms. I was so surprised with having windows in our room, though it’s actually showing just the alley of the other room on the other side. Hahahhaha. Breakfast with a view of the water was amazing

Our stay at Hotel N°5 was excellent from start to finish. The hotel is spotless, and the housekeeping team really keeps the rooms in great condition. The location is very convenient, close to town yet quiet enough for a peaceful rest. The staff provided warm and professional service, always greeting us with a smile and ready to assist

The apartment is conveniently located near the airport. You can literally step outside and watch planes land, which I found to be a rather pleasant sight. Self check-in was very convenient; however, the entrance was a bit tricky to find, and the given access code didn't work. Thankfully, 24-hour customer service was available, and we were able to check in without any further issues. The room wasn't huge, but it was perfectly sufficient for our needs.

Very satisfied. Very spacious and clean. The view of the city was very beautiful but a bit noisy at night because it is near the main road. I suggest those who want to stay here if you have a sleep problem please request a room that is facing the other way. Water supply no problem. The aircond is good. Functioning really well. There is also a space for smoking and my husband was very satisfied with that facility because almost all hotels that we go to didn't provide this space. The staff at the counter was very quick giving a response. Will repeat going here again someday.

This is our first visit to Sabah. Booked the room based on the high reviews and am really happy with the decision. The location was strategic with lots of restaurants within walking distance and the place is quite a vibe with people dining in and people walking by the streets. There are lots of Convenience stores available around the hotel 24 hours. The reception was friendly upon checking in and checking out. The room was spacious for our family of four. Cleanliness is remarkable. Highly recommended!

CCoughfeeThe view is very pretty and marvellous concept for glamping. Good for those want to be away from town. Since it was far away, there is no nearby restaurant except for burger stalls at the nearby village. Luckily, there is a cafe currently within the area. Dinner and lunch shouldnt be a problem here. Only to be improved is the facilities as most of the toilets showers are deteriorating but still useable. There is a big tree house in the middle but it is closed down for visitors. Overall, its a good getaway for clearing up your mind from your routine busy life.

MM419124****The location is excellent. A taxi from the airport costs only around 9 MYR. It's conveniently located near Gaya Street and Suria Sabah shopping mall. You'll find many popular eateries and trendy spots in the area, including famous names like Sin Kee and Yu Kee Bak Kut Teh, Yee Fung Laksa, and Gaya Coconut. There are also plenty of convenience stores, including 7-Eleven, nearby. Two well-known mural photo spots are just around the corner, and both Durian Street and the durian stalls under the bridge are within easy walking distance.

MmredwardCan smell the water outside and hear noise outside. Great if that’s what you’re into!! The air con is not powerful enough to cool the room and very loud when in operation. Lobby staff sleeping on the desk in afternoon and nighttime. Pushy for check out, knocking at exactly 11:50am. Check out was slow, around 10mins. wait to return $100 cash deposit which wasn’t required at other hotels in the area.

GGuest UserIt was my first time to experience a water house. The slide went directly into the sea. It was very interesting. Service: The hotel's arrangements are in place and they can help you solve any problems you have. We booked a charter boat for snorkeling for two people. The instructor is also very professional and will dive to the bottom of the sea to help you catch the fish from the bottom of the sea. Facilities: As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't wait to experience the slide. At first, I was worried that I would sink into the sea if I slid down. There are life jackets at the front desk, so there is no need to worry. Free dinner: The dishes are very rich, the chicken is very tender, the crabs are also very fresh, there is crab roe in it, you can’t get enough of the shrimps

PPrisca EMy stay at this hotel was underwhelming. Basic amenities were lacking, no toothbrush, no hand tissues (only toilet paper), no slippers, and no shower cap. They only provided two large towels, with no hand or face towels. The TV was nearly useless with just two available channels.The lighting was also poor; there was no main room light, only two dim lights behind the bed, which made the room feel dark and uninviting. For the price, there are definitely better options out there that offer more comfort and convenience.

GGuest UserIts quite a nice location to see the Mount Kinabalu in the early morning. But please concern on the road to the property is not so good. Highly recommend to reach there before 6pm as the sky went dark early. Have hot water prepared for shower but the water basin there didn't have. It's feeezing when washing hands and face. Check in check out is smooth btw. Also, the staffs that communicated with are nice.

VVANESSA TIANThis is the second time I’ve booked Hotel Bundusan for my dad, as he specifically requested it again — and for good reason! He stayed for two nights as a solo traveler and was very happy with the experience. The room was new, clean, and quiet — perfect for a restful stay. The reception staff were also very friendly and welcoming, which made a great impression. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful stay!
