Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel

Perfectly placed property overlooking the sea. Staff were all very accommodating and friendly.

The hotel room was perfect. The shower was really good, the pool was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. We weren’t very far from the airport and there were plenty of places to eat nearby. It was easy to get to other major places and for all tourist trips this hotel was one of the pickups. A good choice for us.

Great location on waterfront with many restaurants and markets nearby. Welcoming staff and clean rooms

A good choice for an overnight stay with all the facilities you'd expect from this hotel. Good location just away from the port but within walking distance of bars/restaurants on the front. The infinity pool was lovely overlooking the islands - however there was limited pool furniture and only 3 parasols which was an issue. We enjoyed cocktails on the rooftop terrace watching the sunset. Pity this isn't open during the day as the food offered would have been most welcome for lunch. Staff were lovely and reactive.

Close to everything

1. The Oceanus Shopping Mall is not fully operational. However the 3 convenient-marts along the corridor did help. 2. The bathroom walk-in closet is fantastic. More lighting in shower and vanity area will help in attending ourselves. Sofa and carpet looks pretty aged. It will be good if there’s a sofa cover (washable) to rest on, feeling more fresh and comfortable. The tv top quarter screen illumination is dark-shaded, uneven one-sided brightness. But tv channels are pretty fantastic. The phone, “At Your Service” button is not working. We have to go to front desk to order food. 3. If there’s poster/notices at the concierge corner, it’d help to remind us on local tours and attractions to explore. We overlooked some important tours. 4. Services and attentiveness are pretty sharp and impressive, by the hotel gentlemen. Especially Nizam, the Teh-Tarik guy at breakfast, the breakfast manager (i think?), the Chinese spectacled guy receiving us from Grabs, and also Suhayl. All are sincere, polite, calm, and relaxing cool vibes. And the fair big (fat?) chef, that cooked my char kway teow to “perfect” flavor, only got him once, then he’s gone! (Why?!) This is the most homely feel to us. So keep up snd well done! 5. In future, we hope for a nice developed walkway, from hotel all the way to Suria Sabah, and to Imago Mall. We do enjoy our walks. But the area’s touting activities: massage services and seafood, feels rather intrusive. Otherwise, local tours are pretty refreshing.

Best relaxing place to unwind with teenagers.

Hotel staff unprofessional

Beautiful view from the room. Lovely pool. Amazing breakfast. Very efficient kind service.

It was nothing like the other Marriott that I have stayed in. The promised me a service but when I arrived nothing was prepared. Shower head in the room was broken/malfunctioning. Not worth the price I paid. Food was not great either. However the staff were humble, friendly and nice.

Fantastic place to stay.easy access to town.markets.islands.and day trips. Fantastic service .happy hotel lovely staff. 15th floor sunset views. Next to water front.. 10/10

This was a was a great place to end our 1 month vacation in Sabah Malaysia. Next visit to KK we will just skip everything else and stay here. Awesome place.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was clean, well-maintained, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay. The standout feature was the stunning pool with an amazing view—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The location was also ideal, making it easy to explore the area. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway!

Excellent five star hotel.

Excellent five star hotel with modern rooms with all the amenities and a cloud like bed. Great restaurants, rooftop bar, 8th floor pool, all overlooking the South China Sea with many waterfront dining options and markets within easy walking distance.

When we arrived the girl at the counter told us there was an issue with water pressure in some of the rooms. She didn’t know which rooms which we thought was strange. We were tired from our travels so we told her we would take the room anyway. When we got to the room the water pressure and temperature was fine. Other guests were taking refunds and changing hotels because they were being given the same information. It was around 5PM and I was glad that we didn’t go through the hassle of finding another hotel.

Great room with sea view. Excellent facilities like break fast pool with view, rooftop bar

Comfortable and spacious room. Beautiful shower. Breakfast buffet had plenty of options. The pool got a bit noisy with tourists constantly snapping instagram photos over the infinity pool but good location overall and I would stay again.

The stylo Bar and pool is a winner

Water flow in the bath room rated poor, no hot water at times and limited.
