Sepilok Nature Lodge - Formerly known as Sepilok Nature Resort 3 stars

Sandakan

Situated amidst abundant greenery, Sepilok Nature Lodge - Formerly known as Sepilok Nature Resort is a haven for nature lovers. It has a restaurant, and offers complimentary WiFi access in its public areas. Absolutely beautiful! A wonderfully peaceful oasis in Sepilok right next to the orangutan rehabilitation centre. Being surrounded by nature was my favourite part, we even had some visitors in the form of orangutans on a couple of occasions! food was simple, but there was an authority, and it was tasty! We loved our experience here, so much that we booked an extra night!

Meritin Hotel 3 stars

Kuching

Situated in Kuching and with Borneo Convention Centre Kuching reachable within 7.4 km, Meritin Hotel features concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. This 3-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. Guests can enjoy American and Chinese dishes at the restaurant or have a cocktail at the snack bar. This hotel was really great: rooms were beautiful and well equipped with all the necessary for a pleasant stay, bathroom was spacious, too, and offered all kind of toiletries, a hair dryer, plenty of towels... Breakfast was rich and offered a lot of different options: from the traditional Malaysian one (laksa, noodles, rice....) to more "international" dishes - English breakfast, toasted bread with kaya, jam, peanut butter, cereals... Location is perfect to explore the heart of Kuching, and is easily reachable also by Grabs and taxis in general. But what really stole my heart was the availability and kindness of Meritin staff. Since in Kuching there are no luggage storage options (well, I did not find any even if I tried), it was natural to ask Meritin if they could store our stuff between our two stays there (we slept here on 12th and on 14th, but on 13th night we were in Batang Ai region, taking in part in 2 days - 1 night excursions and using Kuching as our base). Not only they kept our stuff on 13th night, but they also allowed us to take our baggage there BEFORE our first booking there... on our really first night in Kuching (10th) we were staying in a different hotel and on 11th we were sleeping in Bako National Park, but Meritin allowed us to leave our luggage in their lobby starting from 10th so we could easily retrieve our baggage at the hotel after our 2 days in Bako! If it's not great service, I really don't know what I should call it! Thanks a lot, we had the greatest time here!

King Park Hotel Kota Kinabalu 3 stars

Kota Kinabalu

In the city centre, King Park Hotel Kota Kinabalu is in Downtown Kota Kinabalu, a walkable area in Kota Kinabalu with good shopping. Sabah State Museum and Mari Mari Cultural Village are cultural highlights, and travellers looking to shop may want to visit Local Fruits Market and Warisan Square. Sedco Square and Anjung Samudera are also worth visiting. Spend some time exploring the area's activities, including outlet shopping. Closeness to airport. The main reason I stayed at this hotel was it was affordable and close to airport. I noticed it has some food option nearby (which I didn't utilise)
