It's a quite nice hotel. The greatest thing here is the Android TV with Netflix accounts. Overall, it's worth staying here

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
nice place to stay, but fix your shower heater and Tv Channel, also pls prepare the small things but necessary such as coffee 3in1, and all the toiletries if possible, people who are stay more than 1 night need more shampoo n also soap and tissue, pls put clean tissue and ENOUGH TISSUE (Bkn tisu yg buli pakai lap mulut satu kali sdh habis tisunya) at the toilet and room. tq ☺️

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!
