Hotels near Kota Kinabalu airport

Pros: Quick efficient staff, good restaurants, clean rooms, adequate space in the room, central location

Cons: 2 of 4 elevators not functioning but didn’t have to wait too long though

Pros: Staff and management extremely helpful, and made the stay a real treat. Whilst the pool area was being renovated, an offer to use a sister hotels facilities was provided without hesitation - really appreciated.

Cons: Rooms are a bit tired and need a refresh. Limited light in the room, made reading in the evening near impossible.

Cons: I wanted to change my itinerary and bring my hotel stay a day forward, from the 21st to the 20th. I offerred to pay the difference in rate if any. Hotel staff told me they cannot do that for me as booking was made via a third party. It was actually made via a fourth party as Kayak outsorced it to getaroom.com. The actual helpline indicated in the booking email (469-675-5368) was possibly run by a fifth party. They were utterly unhelpful with my request to change the booking date by a day, even though I did offer to pay any difference in price. Rigidly cited some sort of policy. I went back to the hotel staff in person and tey also continued to refuse to help. The consequence was that I had to book another hotel for the 20th, did not stay at Le Meridien on the 21st and my money was wasted. I will not be booking via Getaroom ever again and I will be avoiding Le Meridien.

Pros: The food, the service and the staff was all excellent and our rooms were great.

Cons: We loved the hotel itself but we found the food, water and soft drinks way too expensive. Although there was a some live music in the bar at night, we would have liked some music or entertainment outside, perhaps on the beach or near the pools?

Pros: The location was good. Although Shangri La Tanjung Aru would have been just as good on hind sight. Regretted choosing Sutera Harbour.

Cons: Initially given a supposed sea view room which actually had view of child pool and trees. We had to complain and they changed us. We had to trawl with all our luggage and child. On the last day of our stay we had no hot water and the electrcity blew out (didn't bother to fix this) because of a faulty iron which they provided. There was no iron or ironing board in our room when we arrived.

Pros: convenience, next to the harbour, easy access to boats and islands

Cons: pools were too basic, not deep. more for kids

Pros: Water front and good for swim with younger children

Cons: Facility is old and need maintanance

Pros: Rooms and the view from balcony is outstanding.It is a huge hotel. There are lots of swimming pools ( but they are only 1,5m deep each). I dont like golf but if you do so there is a huge golf field.

Cons: There is no beach at this hotel. There are 2 men made `beach like` places but they are 10m wide each. Maximum 10 people can use it in the same time. If you want beach do not stay in this hotel . Go to Nexus or some other hotel with a proper beach.. If you insist to stay here then there are boats to islands hourly. I suggest you to go to islands to swim. Also foods are expensive. Water sports staff on the boats are unkind. ( the ones in the marina was very kind) .

Pros: Loved Pacific Sutera.Good location very good service and Henry on front desk was the best.He was always ready for any questions.Rooms were good but did not like the pillows.If we come back we will stay in same hotel.Thank you to all the staff.

Cons: Please if you can change the bed too hard.

Cons: The cost of golf is extremely expensive for Malaysian standards and whilst the course is quite good and well maintained you are paying top dollar for the privalage to play the course

Cons: Furniture is a bit out of date. The group entertaining at the lobby is not really enjoyable while besides that the whole day the same back-ground music is playing, quite boring !

Pros: The room is really nice and clean, they also provide shuttle bus to city, really thoughtful. At night,there is a live singing show in the lobby lounge, it was also good.

Cons: Restaurants are bit over-priced. Venician blinds separating the bedroom and the bathroom are bit too kinky!!

Pros: good access from KKIA. Nice to have welcome mocktail on the penthouse.

Pros: Conveniently sited near the KK Termional Two Airport. it will make a lot of transit passenger properly rested before the next morning's flight check in.no need to run to city center and rush back next day.

Cons: Breakfast at 7am only, many transit customer would have boarded the plane, suggest to have earlier breakfast time, this suggestion made at counter, was replied that, " sir, boleh tah pau" (take away). but the restaurant was not even open when people left for the airport.

Pros: Free airport shuttle and close to Terminal 1 at KKIA. Was contacted by management via phone about 10 mins after booking to confirm flight arrival time/flight number and confirm that we would prefer a king bed rather than 2 twins which was exceptionally quick and much appreciated customer service. Decent price for a decent room. Was only there to overnight for connecting flight in the morning so it served its purpose well. Would use again as an airport hotel. Would stay elsewhere if looking to stay in KK for a few days.

Cons: Free airport shuttle did not show up to pick us up at arrival therefore had to pay 25 RM for a taxi. They did drive us to the airport in the morning though. Check in a little slow as only one person at reception. A little loud when other people in the corridors. Power outage at 6 am caused the shower pump to stop working for 15 mins so water pressure was very poor for shower. The power was only out momentarily but the pump did not come back on again for 15 mins or so for some reason, (of course it was back on as soon as we didn't need it!)

Cons: staff did not provide us with water or slippers in the room. We requested them and they never showed up.

Cons: Not near anything really! Stayed for 1 night after coming back from sandakan thinking it would be cheap to get to airport for return to KL but was just as expensive as staying in main area with lots more to do! Also taxi that hotel arranged for us tried to rip us off by charging even more than agreed rate I had with reception team!

Pros: It was nice with a family room with 5 beds.

Staff very helpful in providing driver and van (that could fit all of us) to travel to town and to airport for fee much less than taxis . There is a great local hawker centre around the corner for dinner if you like local food.

Cons: The choices of breakfast are limited. Fried Beehoon, Noddles, Nasi-Lemark and western breakfast.

Pros: It was cleaner than I thought. We did not know breakfast was included. We even got it to go as we were in a rush to catch our flight. It was close to some good local food.

Cons: There were too many ants and bugs in the room. There were only stairs so we had to carry our luggage up the stairs.

Pros: The price and the location were convenient, although it's not in the nicest or most scenic corner of Tanjung Aru. The staff were nice and helpful, and offered an airport shuttle.

Cons: $review.cons

Pros: Great for night stopover, with free transfer saving RM50 (3rd price of room) compared to staying in town. Local dining facilities are good, but probably not up to the standard of the night market or philipino barbeque in town.
