Cleanliness of the place is rather organic. We have experienced blackout in the middle of the night and toilet was blocked on the 2nd morning. Weather and restaurant food were the best but do not expect high hopes on the room.
I'd booked 2 room for my family and me, it's was nice & my family was happy with it..
but my room 104 the anti insect door had some problem that can't close well..
Yeap
6/10 Okay

Liked: Staff & service
Cooling scenery
Not too bad as relaxing but need to improve the soundproof of the room because quite annoying if some other guest make noise at next door.
this is NOT a health resort , there is NO spa or even Massage , there are bugs and lots of them , there is no AC and it is hot. Unless you are with a group or conference then there is literally NOTHING to do here . The staff were polite ,the food was fair at best.
We arrive at 11am and the receptionist allowed us to check in. The room is spacious with balcony. The view from balcony is very nice. Breakfast was good. Love the hotel ambience.
Really nice hotel up in the mountains with amazing views to chill and relax.
Staff was amazingly friendly, with a lot of healthy choices on the menu.
We definitely enjoyed the stay away from the city.
It is a clean tidy place with very attentive staff. The food was good and the rooms were comfortable.
We used it as a base for our two week stay in Sabah and really enjoyed our stay there.
The drive up and down the hill is interesting. It is a windy road and you have to watch out for the local water buffalo's (which are nowhere near as aggressive as the ones in Australia).
Kota Kinabalu is a good launching point for all sorts of activities. We were able to see Orangutan's at a reserve about an hour NE of the city. We were also able to do a River Trip (about 2 hours) SW of the city on which we were able to see three types of money (including the Proboscis monkey) and after dark, firefly's.
The snorkeling around the nearby islands is something else. Having swum at both Ningaloo and the Great Barrier Reef, we were very impressed with the range of fish and corals we were able to see.
The markets were interesting with a good range of local products available.
Great experience with KK City View and Sea View.. Especially you could enjoy the sunset at the balcony. If is a special day you could enjoy the whole KK City firework view from the balcony. The food offer at cloud 9 restaurant is not up to my expectation. Overall is still a recommended place to relax out of the city.
We only had one night here on our way to Palawan, but what a fantastic find. A good distance out of KK waaaay up in the mountains. Slightly quirky, but the staff were friendly, helpful and everything you'd want in hotel staff. The views in the morning were breathtaking. Just one minor gripe - all the bar sold was beer - so no wine or spirits. That could do with being looked at. Overall - extremely pleased and satisfied with our stay. We'll be back!
Insgesamt hat mir der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen, was nicht zuletzt am engagierten Team des Hotels lag.
Der Ausblick auf Kota Kinabalu ist phänomenal!
Die Lage inmitten von dschungelartiger Landschaft wirkt sehr entspannend; Vögel, Insekten und andere Tiere geben ihr Konzert je nach Tageszeit. Und die Höhenlage bedeutet 6 Grad Celsius weniger Temperatur als in der City.
Das Essen war wirklich sehr gut und frisch. Ab und zu gibt es ein Buffet am Morgen.
Nachteil der Lage: man muss die Taxipreise in Kauf nehmen. Man fährt etwa 45 Minuten von der City her. Das Hotel nimmt 40 Rm für hin -und zurück. Aber dennoch ist die schöne und ruhige Lage auf dem Berg meiner Meinung nach den Aufpreis wert. Und Veranstalter aus der Stadt holen einen auch ab; ohne Mehrkosten.
