It's a good location and good value for the money, but still it feels like an ugly person with a lot of make up. Fine design and style, but you can see the humidity marks everywhere. The windows felt like they had never been cleaned. The staff not really helpful. We were gonna climb Mt Kinabalu and come back to... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Sarangnova Hotel. It was perfect for what we wanted. The rooms are small, but big enough, the bed is comfy, and the aircon is amazing!! The location is great. There are many restaurants and a couple of bars close by. About a 10 minute walk to the handicarft market. More

120RM dbl room with a/c no breakfast Clean, small rooms themed with different birds on Jalan Gaya in the city centre. The rooms have free Wifi, a boiler and free water. The receptionists speak English fluently. Good value with discount from the second night on. Stayed two nights as a couple and were only disappointed with the sheets and towels... More

This hotel room was pretty cheap. The hotel is in a good location. The rooms are small but I knew that from previous reviews on here. The bed was comfortable, but there was some noise during the night from upstairs and some road noise. The room was clean but a bit tired looking. The staff were helpful, although we couldn't... More

We were recommended this hotel by the Lonely Planet’s 'top choice' Hotel Eden 54 that couldn’t accommodate us, and it was a great find. Rooms are quite small but not at all cramped for a couple with two massive rucksacks and daypacks. They are stylishly decorated, modern and minimal, with the bird theme art on a feature wall tastefully done.... More

Perfect for what we wanted. It is clean and cozy, nothing fancy. We were out all day, so all we wanted was a place to sleep and rest. There is a restaurant right beside it were we had kopi tarik every morning (coffee) and it is in a perfect location for walking everywhere. The pirce is very cheap and affordable.... More

This bird-themed hotel has rooms fit for a sparrow, but definitely not raptor-sized! It had a very comfortable comforter - nice and soft - and the bed was a good one. Our room overlooked Gaya Street, where you can get a "birds-eye" view of the Sunday Market - yet sound-proofed enough where the noise didn't wake us up, which was... More

No frills no problem! Sarangova is the perfect hotel for our IT! We arrived KK at around 6 in the evening, and were scheduled to head to Kinabalu Park the following morning. Our thoughts were to just look for a decent hotel with comfortable beds and a reliable A/C to ensure us of a blissful slumber. We’re very much happy... More
