Overview of Adel Hotel
Adel Hotel is a 2-star budget property located at Lot 21, Putatan Plaza, Putatan, in the Penampang district of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. The hotel occupies a compact 4-floor building and offers a total of 50 rooms, positioning it as a straightforward, no-frills base for travelers who want an affordable place to sleep in the Kota Kinabalu area without the extras of a larger resort property. On Traveloka, Adel Hotel currently holds a guest review score of 8.0 out of 10 ("Very Good") from 307 reviews, suggesting a consistent track record of satisfied stays despite its modest 2-star classification and simple facility list.
Because Adel Hotel sits within Putatan Plaza rather than as a standalone resort building, guests should expect a practical, commercial-complex setting rather than a scenic or landmark-style property. This makes it a sensible pick for travelers prioritizing value and convenience — for example, those attending business in Penampang, visiting family in the area, or simply needing an overnight stop near Kota Kinabalu — over travelers seeking an elaborate leisure experience. The property's own listing does not publicize a specific opening or renovation year, nor any rebrand history, so this overview leans on its verified location, room count, and review standing as the most reliable identifying facts about the property.
Room/Unit Types at Adel Hotel
Adel Hotel's public listing on Traveloka does not publish a detailed breakdown of distinct room tiers (such as named categories like "Standard," "Deluxe," or "Family"), and no official hotel website with a room-tier ladder could be independently verified for this property. Rather than invent a tier structure that cannot be confirmed, this section describes what is verifiably known about the accommodation on offer.
General Room Information
The property has 50 rooms distributed across its 4 floors. Traveloka's listing confirms the presence of a family room option among the accommodation types available at the property, suitable for guests traveling with children or in small groups. Beyond the family room designation, specific bed configurations, exact room sizes, and per-room amenity breakdowns are not published in Traveloka's structured listing data for this property.
In-Room Amenities (Hedge — Not Individually Confirmed Per Room)
Rooms at Adel Hotel typically include air conditioning, a desk, a shower, and a television, based on the facility list published on the property's Traveloka page. A cable TV connection and in-room WiFi are also part of the confirmed facility set. Guests wanting confirmation of specific per-room configurations, bedding types, or additional in-room extras are encouraged to check the current listing on Traveloka or contact the property directly before booking, since a granular per-room feed is not available from the sources used for this content.

Adel Hotel's Traveloka listing confirms the following facilities and services on-site:
- Air conditioning — available in guest rooms

No specific qualifiers beyond what is listed above (such as "free" for services other than WiFi, or "24-hour" for services other than the front desk) are confirmed in Traveloka's structured data, so this list intentionally sticks to the bare facility names where a qualifier was not separately verified.
Location and Getting There
Adel Hotel sits within Putatan Plaza in Putatan, part of the Penampang district on the outskirts of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. This places the property in a semi-suburban commercial area rather than directly in the Kota Kinabalu city centre, which typically means a quieter setting with easier road access compared to the denser downtown hotel cluster around Gaya Street and the central waterfront. Guests relying on the property for city-centre sightseeing should budget travel time into and out of Putatan.
For travelers flying into Sabah, booking a flight through Traveloka is a convenient way to arrange the journey into Kota Kinabalu International Airport before making the onward trip to Putatan. Once settled in, the surrounding Penampang and Putatan area is well known locally for its markets and casual eateries, and guests can arrange local transport or taxis directly from the property's 24-hour front desk for trips further into the city.
Dining at Adel Hotel
Adel Hotel operates an on-site restaurant, confirmed in its Traveloka facility listing, giving guests an on-property option for meals without needing to travel elsewhere. The specific cuisine style and outlet name of this restaurant are not published in the available listing data, so guests wanting menu details are best served checking directly with the property or reviewing recent guest feedback on Traveloka before their stay.
Beyond the hotel itself, the wider Putatan and Penampang area is known for casual Sabahan food stalls and local eateries, and Kota Kinabalu city centre — a drive away — offers a much larger spread of dining options, from seafood restaurants to hawker-style night markets. Travelers looking to build a fuller itinerary around their stay may also want to browse activities and things to do in and around Kota Kinabalu to plan meals and sightseeing together.
Why Stay at Adel Hotel
Adel Hotel's core appeal is straightforward: a budget 2-star property with a strong guest review score (8.0/10 across 307 reviews on Traveloka) and a practical facility set — including a restaurant, 24-hour front desk, elevator, free WiFi, and on-site meeting facilities — at a price point suited to travelers who don't need a full-service resort experience. Its location within Putatan Plaza in the Penampang area makes it a sensible base for visitors with business or family reasons to be outside the immediate city centre, or for anyone seeking a quieter, more affordable alternative to Kota Kinabalu's downtown hotel strip.
The presence of meeting facilities also makes the property a workable option for small business travelers needing a functional space without the overhead of a larger conference hotel. For travelers who prefer to compare several nearby options before deciding, browsing other hotels in the area on Traveloka alongside Adel Hotel can help confirm it's the right fit for a given trip.
Tips for Booking Adel Hotel on Traveloka
- Confirm your expected arrival time against the property's check-in window, which starts at 13:00, and departure against check-out, which is before 12:00 — arriving earlier or leaving later may require coordinating with the 24-hour front desk.
- Since Adel Hotel is located in Putatan Plaza rather than downtown Kota Kinabalu, factor in transport time and cost if your itinerary is centred on city-centre sightseeing.
- Review the most recent guest feedback on the Traveloka listing before booking, since it is the most current source of first-hand detail on room condition and service — the property's underlying facility list does not change often, but guest experience can vary by season and staffing.
- If you need a family room, confirm availability directly through the Traveloka booking flow, as the property's family room option is limited and not guaranteed at every date.
Once you've weighed these details, you can check current availability and complete your reservation directly on the Traveloka homepage or through Adel Hotel's own listing page.
