I arrived at 9 AM and was immediately checked in. After a good sleep, I headed out to explore. No deposit was required, which was a nice touch. The staff were all smiles and made me feel right at home. Next time I'm in Kota Kinabalu, I'll definitely choose this place again. The privacy is excellent, and the capsule rooms are great. It's also conveniently located near the Central Market and Gaya Street, making it easy to get around.

The location is convenient; there's a local diner (cha chaan teng) downstairs, along with a 24-hour Seven Eleven and a buy-one-get-one-free Apple Mini Mart. It's also close to the Big Gala Seafood Restaurant, and there's a McDonald's, KFC, and a Center World shopping mall nearby. The hotel service is great too. Definitely worth staying here.

Stayed at Harper Boutique Hotel and had a great experience. The location is very strategic, easy access to the city area and also convenient to the airport. The hotel is directly opposite Imago Shopping Mall, which made everything super convenient for shopping, food, and daily needs. The room price is also very reasonable for the location. Overall, a comfortable stay with good value for money.

The room wasn’t the cleanest, and since I stayed on the ground floor, there were quite a few mosquitoes and some spiders around, and the room had a musty smell. The shared toilet was decent. Location wise, it’s about a 10-15 min walk to town and around 20–25 min to the port, but it can get muddy and a bit tricky to walk, especially after rain.

Love the Unbeatable Scenery: Situated high on a hillside, it offers what many consider the best, panoramic views of Mount Kinabalu in the area.Updated Rooms: Recent renovations have improved room comfort, with spacious layouts making it a solid base for family trips.Convenient Location: It provides a peaceful, quiet environment while remaining just a few minutes' drive from Kundasang town and local attractions.

This hotel is very close to the airport and right next to a shopping mall, which was super convenient. It's a perfectly decent place to stay. However, the front desk didn't open until 10:30 AM, so I couldn't leave my luggage there when I went on a tour after checking out.

The location is super convenient, right in a lively area. Pacific Place mall is directly in front of the hotel, making food and shopping incredibly easy. It's also less than a 5-minute walk to the Philippines (assuming '菲律賓' refers to a specific place/attraction nearby, e.g., 'Philippine Embassy' or 'Philippine Cultural Center', otherwise a more general term like 'Filipino district' might be used if context allows).

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout my stay. The bed was cozy and the overall atmosphere made it easy to relax after a long day. One of the best things about this hotel is its excellent location. It is conveniently located close to a shopping mall, which made it easy to shop and find anything I needed. There were also many restaurants and food options nearby, so it was very convenient to grab meals without having to travel far. The hotel environment was comfortable and suitable for both short and long stays. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and would definitely consider staying at this hotel again in the future.

TTom EvtimovOne of the best solution for quit hotel outside of city if you have or rent car. The room is huge, all is new and very comfortable. The stuff is great and friendly. Also there is restaurant inside and supermarket near. Laundry machines 10 meters near hotel. Highly recommend to stay for visiting many Sabah places - 1 hour for mount Kinabalu, 1 hour Kota Marudu, 30 min to river cruises, from 15 min Kota Belud, and 1 hour for KK if you want go there (don’t know for what). Definitely great hotel for families or couples with romantic view and the best price 👍

MMindelaiThe hotel is a very beautiful and charming place. I booked this room mainly because can see the stunning Golden Mountain view directly at dawn. It gets quite cold at night, and the mornings are pleasantly cool. The restaurant food is good, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The only downsides are that there are a few insects at the mountaintop, which is understandable, and the soundproofing of the room isn’t great—after 10 p.m., noise from people outside can still be heard clearly.

YyoumeiyouThis hotel is suitable for an overnight stay if you're catching an early flight after a Kinabatangan River cruise. The room was a bit dark, but everything else was fine. It has a cabin-style vibe with a small garden and a tiny pool. As for breakfast, it's just like a standard budget hotel breakfast, so don't expect too much. The staff were very enthusiastic. The nearby Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC) is very close and worth a visit, and you can also book a night tour there. As for the Sun Bear Conservation Centre and the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, honestly, only go if you're really bored and have money to spare! Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) really misleads people; anyone who goes will regret it. Once you've been, you'll truly understand the quality of the zoos back home. The Sun Bear Centre just cages a few bears. The orangutan centre is no different: everyone sits in a glass enclosure watching a group of monkeys (not orangutans!) eat bananas and vegetables on an outdoor platform – basically watching them ”mukbang.” Then you watch a few orangutans ”mukbang” on another open-air platform. We couldn't bear to watch it. After seeing how wild animals live on the Kinabatangan River, these scenes were just unbearable.

ZZuralengThe room is okay for a small family. However, it’s not very suitable for those who are sensitive to noise because the room is not really soundproof — you can even hear the person next door showering 😂. But overall, the room is still okay and comfortable for our stay.

LLaoxiangbaziStayed for five nights. Don't worry too much about the facilities or the internet, and the food was decent. The highlight is definitely the abundance of animal friends you won't see anywhere else. I highly recommend the hotel's night safari; it's much better than the RDC's. You'll find all sorts of sunbirds right at the hotel, three types of kingfishers (Stork-billed, Blue-eared, and Rufous-backed Dwarf Kingfisher), hornbills, monkeys, squirrels, and lizards. Five stars!

AAnonymous UserThe location is quite convenient, and there is ample free parking available. The outdoor environment is pleasant, well-maintained, and clean, making it a nice place to relax. There is also a BBQ pit provided, although guests need to bring their own utensils and ingredients. One downside is that there is no refrigerator in the room. The bed makes some slight noise, but it is still acceptable for a short stay. The room also comes with a small balcony, which is great for enjoying the night view. Check-in and check-out are quick and hassle-free. An ironing board is available at the reception area, and a hairdryer can be borrowed upon request. Overall, considering the price, it offers very good value for money.

Moreover, the hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful; they even mailed my hat back after I left it at the hotel – I'm so incredibly grateful! I'll definitely stay at their hotel again next time I'm in Semporna!
