I had a great stay in Mandarin Hotel. Really wowed by the very friendly and helpful staff. They are always happy and cheerful and greet me all the time. Room is a bit dated but very spacious and clean. The bathroom is big too. We had a good night sleep. Location of the hotel is also good with ample eateries and shops close by. In fact the famouus Yee Fung Laksa is only a short walk from the hotel and the weekend Gaya St market is just behind the hotel. Will definitely recommend this hotel and I don't mind staying here again.

Everything was walkable distance. Despite it being crowded on the weekend due to some market....still could sleep well.....it was a good trip. Will definitely stay here again. Good for solo travellers as it was an option for a single bed.

Ok hotel centered on old area of kota kinabalu. Staff was very nice. Room was average with some updates. Has refrigerator but also has slot that room key must be inserted in for electricity to work. When you take key and leave room refrigerator has no power. Why have refrigerator? Hotel was quiet but hallways smelled like cigarettes. I think there are better choices in KK at this price point.

The hotel is very close to the city center (Jetty, waterfront, night market, good restaurants). The staffs were very nice and happy to switch rooms for us upon request. Room view was not very nice, though, but admittedly it is hard to find a good view with how buildings in KK are placed.

Soundproofing between rooms is very poor.
Other than that, the room is clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel is awesome. The staff are very friendly and attentive.

The Mandarin was the perfect location, the staff were all lovely - so friendly and helpful. I had the pleasure of meeting the manager who gave me some great advice, I booked for 2 nights and stayed for 3! If you need a comfortable base in KK because you’re out exploring then this is perfect. Small, compact but perfect for me a solo traveler wanting to spend my days exploring. My bed was very comfortable and the shower was lovely!

The location is good- walking distance to markets, waterfront, ferry etc. Staff is very nice. The rooms are a little small and feels cramped and the window is small, but the bathroom is very modern and excellent.

Great place to stay if you're here for Borneo Marathon. Shuttle bus pickup point is a walking distance away. Additional bonus, free transport from Hotel to Airport on checkout day. Lots of activities around the hotel area, walking distance to Gaya Street.
