Featuring private pool, No1 Revisited Stay-Luxury Corner Seaview, 2bath room-Mango House3 is set on the beachfront in Kota Kinabalu. Free WiFi is featured throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.7 km from Filipino Market Sabah. Loved everything about it!! Truly felt like a home away from home. Has all the amenities you need and a gorgeous view. A water filter for drinking water. Good hot showers, comfy beds and living area. Well placed power sockets and even a wireless charging dock. We enjoyed it so much despite it being towards the end of the city area. This meant a peaceful stay with a mall next door and laundry and convenience stores on the ground floor of the apartment building. For everywhere else, just GRAB. So worth it.

Offering a bar and city view, ACJ Residence @ Beside Cititel Hotel is situated in Kota Kinabalu, less than 1 km from Filipino Market Sabah and 2.8 km from Sabah State Museum & Heritage Village. This apartment features free private parking, full-day security and free WiFi. The accommodation provides luggage storage space, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests. Hotel doesn’t quite have a usual front desk, but this isn’t an issue at all… we were easily able to check in and very quickly be settled into our room even arriving 2:00 AM in dead of night after our flight. The room is superbly cleaned and very comfortable. Hotel staff are very reachable, responsive, and accommodating every need. About 3x the normal tea and coffee for use in the room (which I liked). Though we didn’t need it I was also happy to have the option for parking and baggage storage.

Sling & Stone Mountain Suites in Kundasang features 5-star accommodation with a garden. The hotel also provides free WiFi and free private parking.

At the hotel, each room is equipped with a wardrobe. Complete with a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and free toiletries, guest rooms at Sling & Stone Mountain Suites have a TV and air conditioning, and some rooms are equipped with a balcony. The rooms will provide guests with a desk and a kettle. I stayed here for a night on 30.07.2025. The hotel room is superb, feels premium and it is worth the price. The concept is a modern hotel in the forest. Received a warm welcome by the host a.k.a owner. Breakfast for two, was more than enough. Thank you Melissa.
