3-Star Hotels in Sabah, Malaysia

Helpful and friendly staffs. Strategically located. There is a food court near to the hotel lobby. Value for money. Old style hotel and furniture and floor need refurbishment. Still good enough to stay.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, expect the toilet is sharing and it's very dirty!. 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!

This hotel is comfortable, convenient, and affordable. It's clean and well-maintained, with an excellent location - totally worth the money. The hotel's commitment to cleanliness is top-notch, with high standards set in place that make you feel at ease as soon as you walk in. The rooms have neatly made beds with fresh sheets, and the bathrooms are clean with fresh toiletries always available.

The resort is conveniently located right beside the main road connecting Ranau and Kota Kinabalu. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. While there was some traffic noise from passing vehicles, it wasn’t a major issue—earplugs can easily solve that if you’re a light sleeper. What mattered most to us was the cleanliness, which was excellent. An added bonus is that extra mattresses are available for rent if needed. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would definitely choose to stay here again.

The location is excellent. Great value for money too. During my 6-night stay, I used breakfast once, and I was satisfied with the quality. From the window, you can see the port of Jezertun directly, and across the way is Suriasbahamol. It was nice that it was close to Filipino Market and Gayatri Street, and there was a convenience store and a bank. The room cleaning wasn’t done properly, so I mentioned it, and it was fixed immediately. I changed the shower filter every other day. Best value-for-money hotel. If I go to Kota Kinabalu again, I will use it once more. A little further on there’s a Dikingsaba durian shop, and it’s delicious.

2 hour drive from airport. Very close drive to the Kinabalu national park or about a 20 minute walk. Room is simple, rustic but clean. Beautiful surrounding and view from the room. Bed was comfortable. Perfect if you just want a good place to rest after spending the day in nature. There’s a cafe/lunch spot about 15 minutes away by foot.

The location is excellent, right in the city center. It's very close to the Atkinson Clock Tower and the entrance to Gaya Street. Popular spots like the Kinabalu Coffee House and Yuan Tea House are all within walking distance. There's also a convenience store downstairs. Our triple room was spacious with a sea view, but the hygiene was a bit... lacking. The sheets and pillowcases had bloodstains and clearly hadn't been washed properly. Good thing we brought our own bedding. Also, the shower gel and shampoo weren't great, but we just bought some from the convenience store downstairs, which solved that problem.

📍 Location: Strategic gila. Walking distance ke Pantai Tanjung Aru – memang terbaik kalau nak tengok sunset tanpa perlu drive. Sangat recommended untuk kaki sunset 🌅 🧹 Cleanliness: Standard hotel lama, tapi masih bersih dan selesa. Overall okay dan berbaloi dengan harga yang dibayar. 🤝 Service: Recommended. Staff helpful dan responsive. Iron & iron board pun terus dihantar ke bilik bila request – very convenient. 🏨 Amenities: Semua basic amenities lengkap dan berfungsi dengan baik. Cuma tiada bidet dalam tandas.

The sea view was absolutely stunning, making it our most comfortable night's stay in Semporna. We gathered at the Dragon Inn jetty at 1:30 PM. The round-trip boat fee is 100 MYR per person, so remember to bring cash. We didn't book an air-conditioned room, thinking it would only be hot at midday and we could just swim to cool off, but it wasn't hot at all. In fact, I even caught a cold at night. Bajau people came by selling seafood; we bought some fish and had it cooked for a 30 MYR processing fee. In the morning, you can see a 'fish storm' (schools of fish). Room 18 was very convenient, right next to the tavern, so it was lively and we could see many fish. Starfish and sea urchins were everywhere, and we even saw sea turtles and various colorful fish. It was definitely worth it. The food and accommodation were just average, but considering the price point, it was good value for money. After the tide receded at night, the water only came up to my waist. During high tide in the daytime, remember to be careful and stay safe.

The hotel facilities are outdated, and the hygiene is just average. The soundproofing is particularly bad; when I checked in, it sounded like people arguing next door were right in my ear. Every morning around 7:30 AM, I'd be woken up, and you could clearly hear people talking in the hallway. There were no towels or a hairdryer initially, but they were quickly brought up after I asked. I also reported that the pillowcases weren't clean, and they replaced them. The service attitude was very good, though. A big plus is the free self-service laundry room with LG washer-dryers, but they take a very long time, making it hard to wait. Overall, paying nearly 500 RMB during the off-season wasn't worth it; it felt more like a 100 RMB standard in China. The breakfast selection was limited, and the plain congee was too salty. Hope they can improve these things.
