    “Pleasant staycation!”

    My stay at Grandis Hotel Kota Kinabalu was truly memorable from beginning to end. Every staff member I met was friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make my stay comfortable.The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was incredibly cozy, and I especially loved the beautiful view from my room. The hotel’s location is perfect—right next to Suria Sabah Shopping Mall and within easy walking distance of the waterfront, restaurants, and many popular attractions.One of the highlights was the rooftop pool, where I enjoyed breathtaking sunset views over the sea. The breakfast buffet was also fantastic, offering a wide variety of delicious local and international dishes to suit every taste.

    “Exceptional”

    One of my favourite hotel in KK connected to my favourite mall Suria Sabah. Food is amazing as well. Best option when they have discount/lower price

    “Overall, it is excellent.”

    First of all, the location is very convenient as it is right next to the pier, and the hotel condition is very good. There were five of us, including my friends and me, and we booked two rooms, which were connected, so we had a lot of fun going back and forth between the two rooms.

    “A good hotel for families.”

    I stayed in Lasaria, but since my return flight was early, I moved to the city for the last day. There was a washing machine, and it was the first time I stayed in a hotel with enough space for my grown children. The bathtub was large, and the shower was separate. My husband, who is 190cm tall, had plenty of room to stretch out. Being on the 10th floor, I could see the sea if I leaned out, and the sunset was beautiful. However, the parking on the top floor of the neighboring Suria Sabah Shopping Mall was clearly visible, so it didn’t feel much like a resort. But that’s understandable since it’s in the city. I also considered staying at the Hyatt Regency, but I opted for afternoon tea there. This hotel is old as well, and the view might be better than Grandis, but if you’re staying with family, I would recommend Grandis.
