Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had outstanding and comfortable rooms available for more money. The service was super friendly and helpful, attending to every detail. The location was good, allowing guests to easily explore the town and access the fantastic night fish market. The dining experience was excellent, highly recommended to business travelers. The facilities were top-notch.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant surprises and a few disappointments. The room exceeded my expectations with a gorgeous view of the sea, but the lack of lights for makeup and being close to a party area were drawbacks. The service was efficient and welcoming, though the challenge about breakfast was unexpected. The location was excellent, close to major attractions and shopping spots, with only a minor issue of expensive taxi services outside. The dining experience offered a good choice of food despite some service attentiveness concerns. Overall, a memorable stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at Hyatt Kota Kinabalu was truly memorable. The hotel offers spacious rooms, perfect for both twin and king-sized beds. Upon arrival at 2:00 pm, our room was ready, though there was a slight odor of cigarette smoke. The service was exceptional, ensuring our first visit and 32nd-anniversary celebration was beautiful. The location, while fabulous with its proximity to shopping malls and eateries, did have some drainage issues near the swimming pool. The dining experience was outstanding, offering a variety of local choices. Overall, a great stay with minor room odor and location concerns.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with all the necessary amenities, although some areas show signs of wear not expected in a 5-star hotel. The open concept of the bath and bed area adds a unique touch to the room's design. The service is excellent and genuine, although some staff members may benefit from additional training. The convenient location near seafood stalls and island hopping boats makes exploring the area easy. The dining experience can get crowded and loud during peak times, with limited spread and high prices. The hotel's facilities provide everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The sea view room overlooked the inside of the hotel atrium, which I found a bit odd and not to my liking, especially with the direct sunlight coming in at midday. It's worth paying extra for a sea view to enjoy the sunset.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The sunset view from the sea-facing room was breathtaking. The room was spacious, although it needed a bit of maintenance, not exactly as expected for a 5-star hotel. The location was superb, near the harbor and sunny market, offering a comfortable bed and a perfect spot to watch the sunset over the bay. However, the aesthetic wear and tear in some areas could use improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room I got was tiny and not very clean, but the sea view was fantastic. The service was hit or miss as some staff members were very helpful while others seemed disinterested. The location was convenient with some good nearby attractions, but the dining options were limited. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel offers a bright and spacious room facing the waterfront, ideal for those seeking convenience with various attractions within walking distance. However, the lack of information about the hotel facilities was a downside.
I needed a room with a sea view and air conditioning after long flights. While the sea view was there, the air conditioning struggled with the heat. The rooms just needed a really good update to match the beautiful surroundings.
