Great place, warm staffs. There was a thunderstorm in the evening during my stay that caused blackout. Staffs did a good effort - instantly informing current situation, providing a torch. They gave complimentary breakfast the next morning that I would say as 'PR' strategy maybe due to what had happened the night before 😊. Would like to suggest if the host could provide mini refrigerator and add extra lock inside the room for extra safety.

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.

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!
