"The front desk service was good, and they offered luggage storage. The environment was nice, it had a bathtub, and it was relatively clean. However, the air conditioning was broken. I called the front desk, but the landline volume was so low and garbled I could barely hear them. After a long conversation, they said the AC unit was broken and I requested a room change. They said a room change wouldn't fix the AC either. They called a maintenance person who then said it would take an hour to fix. We had already checked in at 10:30 PM, so the hotel's attitude was basically, either you wait for me to fix it before you sleep, or don't bother fixing it at all... Also, I must emphasize that this hotel requires a 100 MYR deposit!!! We had an early morning flight out of Kota Kinabalu the next day and didn't have enough cash on hand. We were forced to go out in the rain at 11 PM to an ATM at the bank across the street. The exchange rate was bad, and the fees were high; we were charged over 12 MYR in fees for 50 MYR, plus the 80-something MYR principal, it was almost 100 RMB. I didn't take pictures of the room. P1: The instant noodles were delicious. P2: Undrinkable."

"Only 15 to 20 min drive trom airport. Cross the roac in front of the hotel and you're facing the sea. The sea view is not that great though. 10min walk to che ”Philippines Market” which sells a lot of fresh produce and street food but it's very smoky. Another 10min walk away and you reach Api Api Night Market but it only opens on Fri n Sat night. Hotel serves a decent & good spread of buffet breakfast. Service staffs are smiley and friendly."

"The location is very close to Welcome Seafood, Twin-Star Seafood Restaurant, and Imago Mall, but a bit far from Jesselton Point, Suria Sabah, and Gaya Street. The breakfast is better than the Marriott's but not as good as the Hyatt Centric's; you can't watch your kids while eating. The room is quite spacious, and the facilities are new. When I booked, it said two 1-meter wide beds, and I was worried they might be too narrow. However, in reality, the beds felt at least 1.2 meters wide, possibly 1.3 meters, which was perfectly adequate."

"The sea view from our room was partially obstructed, which was a minor downside. However, we were very satisfied with everything else. The panoramic sea-view infinity pool was fantastic. The room itself was spacious and well-equipped. The surrounding area has plenty to offer: a street with sea-view restaurants and bars, a seafood night market, and a large shopping mall with a supermarket. It's also very close to the airport and not far from Sunset Beach. Due to its location under the flight path, you might hear planes passing by. Most importantly, the price was reasonable, making the sea-view room excellent value for money."

"This isn't a small hotel; it's a multi-story building. Grabbing a taxi is super convenient as it can drive directly to the entrance via a dedicated lane, making luggage handling easy. During the day, there are staff members at the door to open it for you. The front desk staff were very friendly. I stayed for two nights, then went to Semporna for three days, and came back to stay for one more night. Since domestic flights usually involve budget airlines where you have to buy extra baggage allowance, I asked the front desk if I could store my luggage at the hotel beforehand. They readily helped me with the storage process, free of charge. The location is also excellent, only about a 15-minute walk to Gaya Street. There are also seafood restaurants and supermarkets nearby."

"Excellent Hotel. Stayed here for one night. NOT my 1st time staying here. The hotel are excellent. Now they had an ATM for withdrawing cash. Counter service excellently polished. They had free drinks near the counter for guest as well. HOWEVER there is area I wanted to highlight during BREAKFAST. Vegetable dish please change to BROCCOLI and BABY CARROT instead of BITTERGOURD. That's not a good choice during breakfast. Even locals here don't like it. Everything else are excellent. Recommended for locals and tourist. For those of you who drive, THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING SPACES. NO worries."

"The hotel is located by the sea in Kota Kinabalu, right next to the Filipino Market. The facilities are a bit old, but the service was decent. The air conditioning in our booked room wasn't working, but they quickly moved us to a higher floor room. Breakfast was standard, nothing special."

BBrendon VI had an amazing experience at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, and the overall cleanliness was impressive. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. The location was perfect, and the view from my room was absolutely stunning — one of the highlights of my stay. Everything about this hotel felt high-quality, and I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

TTravel with SugamThe place is in a prime location. Everything's walkable – sea front, local market, night durian market, lots of shopping malls nearby, and Gaya Street are all just a stroll away! The only issue is the lift – super crowded with long queues. With the room on level 8, sometimes I had to wait 10mins to board. Otherwise, great base in Kota Kinabalu.

Xxxmi1. Check in = after booking was made, the front desk contacted me to give about the instructions to checkin which is self checkin (love it and time saver). Asked for depo RM200, fill in form about self information & identification card. Received a permission to checkin early as 2pm as their treat where it usually checkin at 3pm. (Love it once again). You can park at level 1,2,3 where the rates is RM1 per hour. If you use the main lift press M to go to the level 1 park and if you use the residence lift (only one lift at the corner of the building) please press 1. Idk why there is a difference hehe. 2. It is a quiet residence yet spacious for small family like us with a toddler since the bedroom is fit for us. Got small balcony but only get partially sea view the rest view is just buildings. Bathroom also functions really well where the water flow is nice and strong with heater. Internet also fast & got smart tv to use. Microwave available and refrigerator as well. 3. Host is really helpful and use a very understandable instruction. They also make sure for you to check out as told which is before 11am. After checking out, required to send picture and fill bank details form for refundable which they said to be returned between 5-7 business days(wish this period is shortened since depo should be returned as fast as after check the room condition and checking out). 4. Got stalls that sells food and beverages but limited as the menu is simple such as bbq chicken, bakso and other. Also, Orange convenience store. Got laundry also there. Lastly, i feel comfortable staying here and the sleep i got is just goood. Will consider staying again here & thank you very much 😁

NNAGAMURTHYGood location nearby to UMS. Nearby got shops and restaurants to eat since the hotel doesn't provide breakfast. Lobby area without aircond. They should fix it. Overall worth for money spend.

NNevennaThe place is wonderful, my view in the morning from a lovely balcony is impossible to capture in a photo, the smell of a sea breeze and the sounds of birds everywhere. The rooms are very clean and beautiful, they capture the esthetics of the Kota Kinabalu. It is a minute away from the beautiful and vast beach, it is absolutely an underrated place. The staff is great, they have let me check in early, and also, there’s a luggage storage, so I was able to just bring a backpack to my outing trip for couple of days. Also, it is near the airport, which is a plus if you plan on traveling further in Sabah by local flights. Thank you very much for being a good host, O will choose this place again for sure! ☀️

SShahfiq09I recently stayed at Tune Hotel and overall, it was a pleasant experience. Tune Hotel is well-known for offering budget-friendly accommodations without compromising too much on comfort and cleanliness. The location is strategic, especially if you’re traveling for business or leisure—it’s usually close to public transport, shopping malls, and eateries. The room was compact but well-maintained. The bed was comfortable, the air-conditioning worked perfectly, and the shower had good water pressure. I appreciate that the room came with basic amenities such as clean towels, toiletries, and a safe deposit box. The Wi-Fi connection was stable and fast, which is a big plus for digital nomads or business travelers. The staff were polite, helpful, and efficient during check-in and check-out. While there is no room service or luxury facilities, Tune Hotel is ideal for those who just need a clean, comfortable place to rest. I would definitely recommend it for budget-conscious travelers.
