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.

It is an exotic city, offer many experience, it was nice to have the blend of a city but yet you can watch the fishing boats coming back to shore from their catch and visitors taking speed boats to island opposite KK, if you unit is sea facing, you can see this at your balcony while sipping away coffee,teas, fruit juice or even beersGuest review bySui YinMalaysia - 10

There is no other place like Tanjung Aru Beach in Kota Kinabalu when you want to observe sunset. It is iconic (but you need to disregard hundreds of people who want to enjoy the same :-). You can buy beautiful pearls in this town. You can visit Mari Mari cultural village from this town. It exceeded our expactations.Guest review byMiroslavCzech Republic - 6.0

For a town of 500,000 people there should be many more waterfront restaurants available to tourists and local population. National Museum was closed, the observation tower was closed and the Cultural village did not look genuine (plastic flowers used all over the village!?). I would recommend a max. stay of 2 days + 1 day for islands visit.Guest review byLukeNew Zealand - 10
This was my first time in Kota Kinabalu.
This was my first time in Kota Kinabalu. I came for a program, but since I arrived earlier, I decided to explore KK and Kundasang. Even though it was a last-minute booking with Wisata Travel Agency, the accommodation and guide they arranged were excellent. ✨ Favourite places: In KK, I enjoyed the city vibes and food around 1Borneo Mall. In Kundasang, the highlights were the fish spa, rabbit farm, Desa Dairy Farm, and of course a stop at Pekan Nabalu — a picturesque spot with breathtaking views of Mount Kinabalu and local stalls selling souvenirs and snacks. 🍴 Where I ate: One memorable stop was trying the famous kepak ayam madu Wak Ali — really delicious! Around KK, it was easy to find food because there are so many choices, from local eateries to restaurants. 🚗 Getting around KK: With a guide from the travel agency, it was very convenient. The city is easy to move around with transport arranged, and going up to Kundasang was smooth with their service. 💑 For young couples: I’d recommend Kundasang as a must — the dairy farm, the mountain views, Pekan Nabalu, and even simple stops like the fish spa and rabbit farm create great memories. KK city itself is lively with shopping, cafes, and seaside views. It’s a good mix of nature and city for couples. Overall, it was a short but meaningful trip, and I’ll remember it as one of the best last-minute adventures I’ve had.Guest review byBARDSAADMalaysia - 10

Kota Kinabalu is truly a little gem to discover. The Sabahan people are so warm and welcoming, which makes exploring the city and its surroundings even more special. 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

- From US$135.32 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,508 reviewsThe facilities and the natural beauty at the hotel were excellent. The breakfast was scrumptious with many varieties. Staff from every aspect were so pleasant. We could tell they were consistently trained to meet high standards. Garden wing bathroom was old. One would expect a 5 star shangri la to at least have an updated bathroom. The tub/shower combo was something we normally find in a 3 star hotel…but it was clean and the shower water pressure was good so it didn’t really bother us for a one night stayGuest review byJayUnited States
- From US$84.89 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.2Superb - What previous guests thought, 42 reviewsIts a cosy home in the most convenient place you can be. The home is superclean, facilities are fully provided, the amazing home projector system and apt home decor, also with the best view ever. The owner is really responsive and very helpful. Just a walk away to Jesselton Point & Gaya street equipled with swimming pool too facing sunset, what more we can ask for. Its beyond amazing!Guest review byGhanageswaryMalaysia
