Hotels With Wifi in Sabah, Malaysia

"The hotel surroundings are very photogenic and well worth a visit. However, the facilities are a bit dated; the bathroom in particular is a bit dim and the toilet is quite old. On the plus side, the hotel's swimming pool is truly amazing. Furthermore, the service is exceptionally good—both check-in and check-out experiences were fantastic. On our last day, because we were going snorkeling, we accidentally left our snorkeling shoes and clothes on the balcony when we checked out. I especially want to thank NAINA at the front desk, who personally took me back to the room to check and communicated multiple times with the housekeeping team to help me retrieve my belongings. I am truly grateful! 🙏"

"Our stay in a deluxe king room with a partial sea view was overall very pleasant. The Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu is in an excellent location; the sea is right across the street, and there's a seafood hawker center next door, making it super convenient for finding food. It's also easy to get to various attractions. The cleanliness, environment, and service were all very satisfying. The room was clean and tidy, and the staff were friendly and enthusiastic. The only minor drawbacks were that some of the facilities are a bit old, and some equipment showed its age. The hotel breakfast selection wasn't extensive, and the taste was quite ordinary, nothing outstanding. However, the overall value for money is very high, and the room offered a partial sea view. If you're visiting Kota Kinabalu and prioritize location, Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu is an excellent choice."

"Room: Very spacious, consisting of a dining area, living room, bedroom, two bathrooms, and a terrace. It was comfortable for three adults (though the extra bed in the living room was not very comfortable and not recommended for those with back problems). Decor: As a historic hotel, it's generally well-maintained. Although half of the rooms are currently undergoing renovation, my room was not affected – I neither saw nor heard any construction (I had specified my room preferences when booking on Ctrip and also emailed the hotel in advance). Room View: My room was on the 4th floor, which didn't have as good a view as the same room type on the 2nd or 3rd floors (the eaves above obstructed part of the view), and nearby pillars also blocked some of the scenery. It wasn't as good as the standard sea-view rooms at Tanjung Wing, but overall it was still very open with both sea and tree views. For watching the sunset, we'd go to Coco, so it didn't really matter. Room Location: The Tanjung Wing is quite a distance from the jetty/front desk/Shang Palace (Chinese restaurant). Although buggy bus service is available (by calling room service), during peak hours (12 PM / 3-4 PM), there are fewer buggies, leading to long waits, which is quite inconvenient. Once, I waited half an hour for a buggy from the jetty back to my room. Restaurants: The breakfast restaurant offered a good variety, but it didn't change much. After eating there four times, there were basically no variations, so it could get repetitive if staying for a long time. It was also very crowded during peak hours. We tried Shang Palace once; the food was delicious, but the air conditioning was very cold, so an extra layer of clothing is recommended. Coco offered afternoon tea as part of the executive lounge benefits; the food was decent, and the location was excellent for watching the sunset. Service: Overall, the service was quite good, with a few highlights. Firstly, executive rooms included a complimentary airport drop-off. Secondly, the hotel's jetty was very convenient for trips to nearby and distant islands, and they provided comprehensive gear (life jackets/snorkeling equipment/towels, etc.), which was a great experience. Thirdly, the lounge was excellent, available for use both before check-in and after check-out, which is very convenient for red-eye flights. Overall, I'd give the hotel an 85-90 out of 100. There's room for improvement, but in Kota Kinabalu, I don't think there are any better options. Chinese Service: When booking, I assumed many hotel staff would speak Chinese, but in reality, very few could communicate fluently in Chinese. So, if you don't speak any English, your stay experience will definitely be affected (e.g., when participating in water sports)."

"A very nice hotel, extremely clean. The room features a great wet and dry separation layout; the double vanity, bathtub, shower, and toilet are all in separate independent spaces, so staying here with a friend meant we never got in each other's way. Secondly, the location is fantastic. It's very convenient to hail a taxi to anywhere, and downstairs you'll find convenience stores, restaurants, and bubble tea shops. The breakfast is a set menu and quite good, and the service is pleasant. If I really have to point out a drawback, the entrance facade is a bit small and inconspicuous. However, the interior facilities are complete, compact, and stylishly designed. It offers great value for money, and I would definitely choose to stay here again given the chance."

"Many of the positive reviews for this place are likely influenced by the free coconut water offered for writing a review upon check-out. Without any incentives, I'll honestly share my experience. 1. **Pros:** The water quality around Mantanani Island is excellent, and the snorkeling and diving offer stunning views. The staff are friendly, and the island scenery is definitely worth experiencing. 2. **Cons:** The island is swarming with tour groups, and there's a constant stream of elderly people and children, so it's not ideal if you're looking for a peaceful atmosphere. We stayed for three nights, paying over 4,000, and were assigned room 27, which was right next to the staff dormitory. The facilities in the room were very old. Additionally, the adjacent room housed different tour guides every day, and we couldn't see the sea at all from our room. For independent travelers paying this price, getting a room like this is truly unsatisfactory."

"This time I chose this hotel, and it exceeded my expectations. The location is super convenient. Previously, I always stayed at Holiday Inn Express, but this hotel offers better value for money. I'll definitely stay here again next time. The breakfast was good too."

"The room and bed are smaller than average, but fine. The pool is quite large, and it was very convenient to have it right outside my room to the right. The elevator had a strong aromatherapy scent. The location isn't close to Gaya Street, so you might need to call a Grab if you get tired of walking."

"The hotel had just been open for a month when we arrived. The location is fantastic, with many famous spots nearby. The room was extremely comfortable, and stepping into the hotel from the bustling outside felt like entering a whole new world. The lobby had a wonderful, soothing fragrance. Having public washers and dryers with complimentary laundry detergent provided was a huge plus. It's also very friendly for Chinese-speaking travelers, as the front desk staff all appear to be Chinese speakers. The room environment was amazing and spotless, toiletries were replenished daily, and the bathroom didn't have any weird odors like some other places do. They also provide complimentary umbrellas for rainy days and a restroom in the lobby. Here are a few minor drawbacks: 1. The building number is on the opposite side of the main entrance, so when calling a ride, you have to walk a short distance. 2. There is no elevator, so it's not suitable for children or the elderly (it's only 2 or 3 stories high). Additionally, only one room card is provided, and power is cut off when you take the card out, so the room was always sweltering upon our return, though the lobby stays cool. 3. Lastly, because it's in the most vibrant area, the biggest issue is that it's located directly above the weekend night market. It gets very noisy on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, with people singing outside. Be sure to bring earplugs. Book only if you can accept this. Also, you might hear occasional bumping sounds at night."

"I won't comment on other room types, but purely in terms of the Sea View Suite, it's arguably in a league of its own in Kota Kinabalu. Factor in the value for money, and it easily makes my personal top 3 among all the sea view rooms I've ever stayed in. The view and room layout are about 10-20% better than the suites at the Kota Kinabalu Sheraton. The surroundings and location are unbeatable—Suria Sabah, the city's largest shopping mall, is right across the street, and Gaya Street is less than a 10-minute walk if you turn left out the door. The location is seriously top-notch. Upon entering, there was also a nice touch: a personalized welcome card with my name on it and a plate of fresh welcome fruit. Here are a few tips for fellow travelers looking to book this hotel: 1. They provide bottled direct-drinking water rather than bottled purified or mineral water. It has a bit of an odd taste—after taking a few sips, I didn't dare drink anymore for fear of getting an upset stomach. We ended up just walking out, turning left, and buying a few large bottles of mineral water at the Orange convenience store. Compared to the Moya bottled water provided by the Sheraton, the Sheraton does a much better job here, and their water is also handier to take along for island-hopping trips. 2. Their check-out policy is quite rigid. Anyone who cares about this or has a late departure on their final day really needs to pay attention. Check-out is at 12:00 PM, and whether I tried negotiating with the front desk myself or asked the Ctrip butler to help, the feedback was that the absolute latest they would extend it to is 1:00 PM. If you exceed that, checking out before 6:00 PM incurs a half-day room charge. At the Sheraton, Marriott Gold Elite members can check out at 2:00 PM; we finished packing and walked out at 2:40 PM without anyone rushing us. So, if this matters to you, take it into consideration. 3. Regarding the room view, there is a high-rise building currently under construction right opposite, complete with a tower crane, which somewhat obstructs the sea view. If this bothers you, you might want to reconsider. Also, try to request a high-floor, quiet room in the notes. There are quite a few roaring motorcycles around here at night, and the noise can be pretty loud."

"The hotel is in a very convenient location—dining and shopping options are all within a few minutes' walk. The front desk service was excellent; a special shout-out to the lovely lady whose name starts with JA, thank you so much! We were very pleased with the floor assigned to us, and the housekeeping was spotless. The swimming pool is on the ground floor with a dedicated toddler area, and our child had a blast. Hyatt Regency Kinabalu is a trusted, classic brand that truly lives up to its reputation."
