The Sabah Oriental in KK is old and it shows it. The decor is tatty. You can see that the hotel is cleaned and maintained well, but it needs a total refurbishment. The breakfast is very disappointing. It is often just warmed over old food. The lobby smells and they allow smokers in the Coffee Lounge and the reek of... More

If you want to stay only one night, say you are in transit in Kota Kinabalu, this is good enough. However, be aware that the standing is local malaysian, means the overall service and level of comfort is quite low compared to other countries, sorry to say. Furnitures are old old old, dirty and smelly carpets, poor breakfast,... We were... More

We booked this hotel for 3 nights for our stay in KK. The price per night for ourselves and our children aged 3 and 5 was 190 RM including taxes and breakfast. We checked in late after arriving from Singapore, and first got a room with only two beds... Then we got a room on the 7th floor with a... More

We stayed there for one night only. The Hotel is not easy to reach on foot, so we recommend to either take a taxi or have your own car (as we had). It was a friday and they "informed" us about a promotion for RM 145 at weekends at that time (including continental breakfast). We arrived around 3pm but our... More

We arrived via AirAsia late afternoon - Xmas eve - totally famished so decided to go for the Xmas eve buffet - the food was typical buffet, nothing special... When we asked for the bill, they refused to put it on our room tab (strange....) but given that we were very tired, we decided just to pay via credit card.... More

Ok this place is now the Sabah oriental hotel, but don't tell your taxi driver that, the name change hasn't filtered down yet. Well its cheapish, and perfectly a acceptable, not the best by any means nor the worst. The views are awesome if you're into gettos and filthy waterways, if not keep the curtains drawn. The convenience store downstairs... More

We stayed for two nights either side of a four day tour and we enjoyed our stay! The location of the hotel is good - only a 15 minute walk to the waterfront. Rooms are good, comfortable beds, nice bathroom, friendly staff. There are terrapins in the lobby! We thought they were fake, but then they started to move. More
