Last minute booking after first hotel was a sham. They were amazing, we signed up for bonvoy rewards and they upgraded us! So comfortable and the sunset, drinks and food from club room was amazing. We didn't go out on the second night because of a big cycling day and it was perfect

Good location of the hotel, walking distance to Suria Mall and Jesselton Jetty. Those that wanted to go for Island hoping are recommended to stay at this Hotel. It's just 5 mins walk to the Jetty. Nice and clean room.

The hotel was modern, clean, quiet, good shower, amenities and beds, staff was fine. We had a view of the mountain behind, maybe because we had asked for quiet.

Decent budget hotel close to the airport and Tanjung Aru beach. Not much to do around the area but I was staying as I had an early flight to catch. People at reception were fantastic and welcoming with the exception of one young man working there who was quite dismissive. Overall, an ok place to stay for the price if you need to be in that area. CBD is only a 5-10 minute Grab away. Views from the pool are great.

Location is fantastic. Within walking distant to malls, restaurants and banks.
Room: sadly not a 3 star definitely. Motel 8 is much better. Furniture are back in 70s or 80s. Bathroom is quite nasty with black moldy on tiles grout. Housekeepers are not trained to clean and refresh bed especially when they knew that you are staying longer. They just left towels and bath stuff on table.
Customers are mostly locals because of the cheap cost to stay. And tour operators use this hotel because of the value and location.
Not worth trying in house breakfast. There are plenty restaurants nearby and in malls.

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.

The little city or small town is not special at all, there is no charm to it really and I would not visit it for the town itself. However, it is a town where the airport is so you have to go through it. It is very convenient to access the Jesselton pier to take the boats to the island and to go to the markets, which are not really that special. They are OK. I have seen many great markets throughout Asia.

we stayed in 4 different hotels for 3-4 nights.
we stayed in 4 different hotels for 3-4 nights. All good in different ways.
Sea food was super and other meals good,(some too spicy for us but we learnt to ask for "not too spicy")
Taxi transport was cheap and easy. Ferry boat transfers were more difficult, Ask Island Hotels for their ferry times BEFORE you book return flights as free ferries only go at selective times. We had to book a private ferry so we could get to the airport for a 13.00 flight. (cost £48)
Loved the area but we were on the wrong coast for easy access to oranotang monkeys . Flights across were too expensive for us to make the trip!

Kota Kinabalu is a fabulous place to visit for the amazing food, from budget level to fine dining but especially the local and other Asian cuisine. The Filipino Market was exceptional and we left will full cases. Transport around the centre is easy by walking or Grab. The Island trips looked superb but not at our age unfortunately considering the very hot afternoons. Next year we'll go to Mount Kinabalu area but too far on a short visit. The people were invariably charming.

I saw the inside and outside of KK International airport 5 times, and travelled to and from Ibis Styles Inanam hotel by taxi twice but did not visit any "attractions" in KK. The panoramic view westward over KK skyline from my 1-night stays in 10th and 11th floor rooms was unremarkable.
The only place of interest I noted was beside the highway heading eastwards out of town to the hotel: a cemetery covering 3 or 4 low hills densely packed with multicoloured graves and shrines: a miniature city of departed souls.

The hotel has a very good location, just a short walk away from Jesselton point, shopping malls and night food options. Our room had a large comfy bed with excellent pillows - the bathroom layout was a little strange, but a good walk-in shower. We did not book breakfast, but used the hotel restaurant twice as the asian and international food options suited us well. The rooftop pool was a bonus, we enjoyed sunset views of the KK bay when using the rooftop restaurant.
All in all this hotel provides excellent value for money.
CJ residence is about 10min taxi from the airport, easy to go to Jesselton Point Ferry (where to go for diving or book cruise trip). Surrendings with a lot of local food stalls or resturant. The owners and staff are super friendly and helpful! Very mindful to provide all necessary information and support. The bed is extramely comfortable (from my friend :)), even with an auto-massage chair. We had a wonderful stay in KK with CJ residence!
Friendly and service centered staff. The hotel is new, clean and everything works. Breakfast served in the hotel has a good variety. It is a very good location with a shopping mall opposite the hotel and many eateries nearby and within walking distance. It is easy to go anywhere not within walking distance with Grab private hire. It is also not far from the Kota Kinabalu international airport.
It was Last minute honeymoon for us.. And we can't find any 5 star room available on the same day.. Suddenly saw this The seraya Hotel and the location is perfect for leisure around gaya Street.. The staff set up honeymoon deco for us upon husband request, and it was very cute.. Haha. The staff was friendly too. They are Very2x helpful. TQ Dominic & team

Wonder what’s 5 star hotel be like? You should try out this stay! The host and staff solved all the problems we have! The room looks just like the picture shown! very clean! everything in the room is well prepared! they guide us everything clearly. We had a pleasant stay with A residence. will definitely revisit again next time! thank you!
The location of the hotel is great. Jesselton Quay, from where the boats depart for the small islands, is just a few minutes' walk away. The hotel is well equipped. Breakfast is worthwhile, especially for lovers of Asian food. Dinner is also recommended. The cocktails in the bar are excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The family room size. It is one of the biggest family rooms I have ever book, worth the price. Very near to Jesselton Point Jetty, about 250m that I dont have to bring my car to the jetty. Strategic location to access to Universiti Malaysia Sabah, the street markets and got many of the facilities around the hotel area
I love the location, this is perfect. The hotel is really close to the night markets/ handycraft markets (walking distance) but it’s located in a wonderful peaceful neighborhood. The staff is really nice, helpful. The rooms are super clean.
This is a very new budget hotel. Room was spotless and comfortable. Location is accessible with plenty of parking spots around, but be sure to buy parking coupons from nearby stores to avoid getting fined
The hotel was pleasant. The staff were friendly! 5 stars!
However the shower's and the sink's heater was not working. Already informed the receptionist, and they repaired it very quickly. Thanks!
The swimming pool was great with amazing views. The receptionist was helpful when we had to change our room. The location of the hotel is great as it is near the airport.
