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.

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.
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!

Kota Kinabalu is a fabulous place to visit for the amazing...
Kota Kinabalu is a fabulous place to visit for the amazing food, from budget level to fine dining but especially the local and other Asian cuisine. The Filipino Market was exceptional and we left will full cases. Transport around the centre is easy by walking or Grab. The Island trips looked superb but not at our age unfortunately considering the very hot afternoons. Next year we'll go to Mount Kinabalu area but too far on a short visit. The people were invariably charming.
I really love the totality of the design of the hotel, from the lobby, the common room (which is totally gorgeous and comfortable!), the stairs, down to the bedroom. Our room was not too big but it was spacious enough for two. The beds were comfortable.
There's a laundry room in the hotel, but if for some reason it can't be used, a 24-hour self-service laundry is next to it.
If we want to eat outside the hotel, there are restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The hotel is within walking distance to many places of interest.
Everything was great, suits the price. I got the city view room, loved it. The room was cool, the toilet is clean. The staffs are great. Place is strategic bcs it's already in the city, close to Gaya Street nightmarket, convenience store, etc. It isn't like a WOW hotel but overall it was a comfortable stay. If you want an impressive place to stay, opt for a 4 or 5 stars hotel. In conclusion, would certainly come again.
They are so friendly and helpful. The room was clean, bed is comfortable. Locations is good, short walk to KK Sentral, food is on the corner, boat terminal is not so far either. Breakfast is toast bread, some jams and coffee/tea. **** Walls are thin (like many hotels) so when read about silent hours please follow the rules. Some guest can be really noise but this is nothing to do with them.
I like the area which is not so busy and noisy. Check in process was very fast and hotel staff is very friendly. The room is just nice and very minimalist but sufficient. Basic toilet amenities is enough for daily use.
Buffet breakfast is great, they change the menu everyday but still delicious. And they do have self service coffee machine, a bonus for coffee lovers. Overall, great experience staying here
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the view was amazing. The host very friendly & helpful with highly quality service. They make our stay enjoyable. Excellent property with sea view and had great sunset view. Very convenient to do many activities especially island hoping, just walk a few minute to the Jesselton jetty. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting KK.
We had a 2 bedroom family suite with a lounge area, balcony & 2 bathrooms which was ideal. We had the best view of the ocean & the Jesselton Pier where you can watch the ferry's coming & going to the islands. The pool on the roof was fantastic, the gym good & the breakfast was amazing. This hotel is on the edge of town but you can walk to alot of restaurants within 1km.
The hotel is really clean and the housekeeping done was really good. The amenities is really good over there. The staffs are really friendly and really helpful during our stay. The hotel environment as well was really clean and comfortable. The management is really maintaining a really good ambiance over here. Would give a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 start for overall service.
absolutely terrible hotel. the pictures are not accurate. at all. dirty room. uncomfortable bed. described as brand new hotel but looked like it hasn’t been painted in years. no breakfast provided and no restaurants near by. not sure what guests are expected to do. thankful we only booked to stay 1 night as it was close to the airport and we had a transfer out.
The location of the hotel is great. Jesselton Quay, from where the boats depart for the small islands, is just a few minutes' walk away. The hotel is well equipped. Breakfast is worthwhile, especially for lovers of Asian food. Dinner is also recommended. The cocktails in the bar are excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The room is nice, one room with two king size bed.
Near airport, and you can view the plane cause the property was just opposite of the airport. Recommend for those who take early flight/late flight, which easier for check in
Enjoyed our stay very much at Aru Hotel. Very spacious and comfortable. Their bed was nice and firm, extremely comfortable to sleep on. Comparable to a 4 or 5 star hotel. Great automated parking system. Very impressive.
There’s no doubt that this hotel has one of the best positions at the center of KK island, and it’s quite close to the airport. Hotel is close to the Jesselton Position where you can book your hopping island trip.
Nothing - the hotel is overall at a good position and that’s about it. Overall performance was really terrible and the hotel was super dirty. This shall be definitely not a 5 star hotel.
the room big enough.. bathroom spacious
the room and bathroom is clean.. the hotel have lift..
near Jesselton food court, jetty and market, walkable length..
The only thing I find acceptable about this hotel is its location, very close to the airport; everything else has left me with an utterly bad experience.
