"I booked this hotel for my sister while she was visiting our mum at the hospital, which is just a 3-minute walk away. It’s also within easy walking distance to nearby cafés and restaurants. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the rooms are very clean and neat. The only small issue was that there was no soap for the shower, but that was easily fixed. Overall, it’s a great place to stay."

Top Tanjung Aru Hotel Reviews

The Magellan Sutera Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Good "

Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu

10/10 Excellent

"The space was so lovely between the room, the lobby, and the facilities. The food and drinks at the restaurant were delicious, but special shoutout to the staff. Housekeeping was efficient and thorough, the other staff (especially those at the bar) were so incredibly professional and attentive. "

Pan Borneo Hotel Kota Kinabalu

10/10 Excellent

"Buffet breakfast disappointing (no eggs!) but lunch and dinner ala carte menu are good and reasonably priced. There are few restaurants within walking distance so it is good that hotel restaurant is okay. Major frustration with room safe. It was rusted and unused. They replaced it but the second one would not work (electronics were bad). I gave up. "

The SIGAR Hotel at Sutera Bay

8/10 Good

"I stayed for 2 nights in different rooms. The only problems was splashing water from the hose connecting to the heater when turning water on. Second, the water tap on in the kitchen nearly loose from the sink. Tea cups too small and coffee packet and tea bag not enough for 4 persons room."
