The bathroom and amenities is comfortable and awesome. The location also strategic with many places. However, the breakfast set is not satisfied because of limited choice and some dishes taste terrible. Hope the management makes some improvement soon. Overall, the hotel is moderate and satisfied.

Raia Hotel Kota Kinabalu
I bought a last minute hotel stay since we just came back from airport. We arrived at 1 am and check in was smooth. No need deposit. The breakfast has so much variety and I love it all. Very recommended and will definitely stay here again. ❤️

SUPER OYO 89944 Stay Inn
So frustrated. Checking in late because flight got delayed but then still got this kind of room. Unattended. Looks like somebody else just got out of this room right bfr I checked in without room service at all. Not recommended at all. Luckily I'm just staying here for a night bfr I can check in to another hotel. Yes it's cheap but still not worth it. Rm100 for a night in this condition is so frustrating.

Golden Hill Hotel
I checked in almost at 11:30 PM but still there is staff waiting at the counter. I got room number 211 which is very comfortable and spacious for me because it is located at the corner. Although you can also hear the sound of an airplane, but it's not too often and you still can manage to sleep. The hotel is also located near to the airport which takes only 10 minutes.

Impiana Mutiara Hotel @ Kampung Air
Location is opposite a night market. A bit distance from gaya street. Room condition is totally different from the picture shown in their ads. Room is small, with funny smell inside every time I get into my room. I can hear people talking outside and banging their door at midnight. The lucky thing is air conditioner is still cold and hot water shower is still hot. Will I come again? NO!
