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.

There’s an incredible variety of things to do: from jungle walks and nature-based activities to relaxing on paradise-like beaches. Whether you’re looking for adventure or just a peaceful escape, Kota Kinabalu has a bit of everything and is definitely worth visiting.Guest review byMary JeffSingapore - 8.0

Tanjung Aru sunset very nice, kota Kinabalu kundasang must go to see kota Kinabalu mountain view. Mari-Mari culture village is a must, a very good experience. Tunku Abdul Rahman park really beautiful. Beach in University Malaysia SabahGuest review byKikiMalaysia - 8.0

Kota Kinabalu is the most cosmopolitan of the cities in Sarawak and Sabah. Shopping is good, plenty of eateries and the inner city is walkable . The traffic like in all Malaysian cities is horrific. I want to point out that taxies in Malaysia don't have meters any more and charge for transport whatever the want (always to much) compared to Grab/Uber.Guest review byGerardNew Zealand - 10.0
I love Kota Kinabalu.
I love Kota Kinabalu. There are a lot of nice restaurants, and there are some beautiful islands you can get to. I also love the local restaurants and the dessert places like the Royal Coconut. I would definitely go back again.Guest review byBasilUnited States - 10.0

Great scenery, great food, just need to be careful with the safety, sometimes you can see some homeless people in the street, and too many promoters, the local authority might need to enforce on the road safety and supervision on the overall hygine.Guest review byYi PingMalaysia - 10.0

There are many interesting places to visit for example the Medical Science Musuem, Aquarium and Art Gallery located in University Sabah Campus. The Filipino market nice souvenir items but you will need to bargain. For seafood lovers, this is a fantastic place to satisfy your cravings. Island hopping is also great. Good idea to bring along your own pre-packed food and drinks unless you do not need to budget expenses. Just people watching whilst enjoying a cool drink is also an eye opener. There are many differences with what prevails in West M'sia. I also loved the fact that the airport was just about 20 minutes drive away from the hotel - so convenient and time (cost) savingGuest review byLaili RusmahMalaysia
