FAQs about hotels in Kota Kinabalu









Tropical Paradise in East Malaysia

Kota Kinabalu (KK) is the capital of the East Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo. It features white-sand beaches, tropical rainforests and the outer lying coral reefs and islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR) Marine Park, a haven for scuba divers.

Occupied by the Japanese and heavily bombed during World War II by the British, some remnants of this colonial era remain in the Atkinson Clock Tower and Signal Hill Observatory, with its sweeping view of the coast.

Tanjung Arn is KK’s most popular public beach and secluded northern beaches like Karambunai and Dalit have resorts dotted along the coast.

Kota Kinabalu Harbour hosts international cruise ships and the KK Waterfront is a popular place with many bars. The KK Handicraft Market is your chance to grab a nice souvenir to take home.

Mount Kinabalu is Malaysia’s highest mountain at 4,101 metres. This highly important ecological region contains rare fauna and flora and makes a good day trip from the capital.

A variety of hotels on Booking.com are centred around Kota Kinabalu International Airport, the city centre and islands.

    Tour the city by walking around during peak hour is the best option. love seafood? here's is the seafood heaven but make sure you know on how to pick the fresh one. Good to shop during sales or promotion. and make sure you have the exact amount of money during buying transaction or else they wont give you balance cause they'll sum up the amount into the nearest whole number.

    We spent some two days in the city and then transferred out to Tuaran for a five day beach holiday which I thoroughly recommend. The beach was amazing and our hotel opened on to it. Whilst in the city, we eat at Little Italy and the food was fresh, delicious and very reasonably priced. ‘Grab’ taxis are very cheap and make it easy to move around the city.o

    Great place for vacation. The Philippine market was so crowd. the goods are expensive but still can bargain. Be careful with the seller who offer you to pack your things in the box. you have to check before they seal it.

    The little city or small town is not special at all, there is no charm to it really and I would not visit it for the town itself. However, it is a town where the airport is so you have to go through it. It is very convenient to access the Jesselton pier to take the boats to the island and to go to the markets, which are not really that special. They are OK. I have seen many great markets throughout Asia.

    we stayed in 4 different hotels for 3-4 nights.

    we stayed in 4 different hotels for 3-4 nights. All good in different ways. Sea food was super and other meals good,(some too spicy for us but we learnt to ask for "not too spicy") Taxi transport was cheap and easy. Ferry boat transfers were more difficult, Ask Island Hotels for their ferry times BEFORE you book return flights as free ferries only go at selective times. We had to book a private ferry so we could get to the airport for a 13.00 flight. (cost £48) Loved the area but we were on the wrong coast for easy access to oranotang monkeys . Flights across were too expensive for us to make the trip!

    Top accommodation in Kota Kinabalu! We where impressed from the quality of their service. Perfect assistance on whatsapp and easy check in, but most at all the room was absolutely perfect! They updated us to the bigger room for free. 5 stars hotel services and commodities. Everything is available and all is at the best level. We felt like kings! Position is great, over the night food market but it closed very hearly so no one noise in the night.
