Sabah Oriental Hotel in Kota Kinabalu (often cited on Kayak, Agoda, and Tripadvisor) offers a budget-friendly, central, yet aged, 4-star experience with mixed reviews. While praised for its convenient location near malls, friendly staff, and decent pool, many guests report needing urgent renovations, describing rooms as dated, with some issues regarding cleanliness and subpar, noisy air conditioning.
Pros: Convenient location (near Imago Mall/city center), friendly service, spacious rooms, and a nice pool.
Cons: Very old infrastructure, worn-out furniture, poor air conditioning, and inconsistent cleanliness in bathrooms.
Best For: Budget-conscious travelers looking for a central spot, or quick, short-term stays.
Overall Sentiment
Value: 7.0/10 (”Good”).
Cleanliness/Condition: Frequently criticized as needing maintenance.
Service: Generally rated positively for staff friendliness.
Recommendations
- Request a room that has been refurbished.
- Ensure the air conditioning works immediately upon check-in.
- Ideal for those looking to stay near the city center without paying luxury prices.
Firstly, the building is one and the same with Citadines as in they share a common linked lobby. That was already a good first impression. However, do note that it is more an air bnb within a building likely to have many other similar operators. When we got to the room, boy were we surprised. Contrary to the riff raff one saw entering through the lobby and in the lift, the room was amazing. The level of Id, detailing and thoughtful items and notes was simply not what we expected. The kitchen is beyond fully equipped. It even had a coffee machine complete with pods. My favourite, water filter with hot and cold function. Everything else you would expect to find in a hotel, you would find, and more! Bath robes, iron, hair dryer etc etc. For the clincher, when we woke up in the morning and opened the balcony door we were greeted with an outdoor bathtub overlooking the sea!!! And did I mention that the rooms (living and bedroom) came with designer ceiling fans too. We loved our stay and didn’t expect it to be of this level. Thank you!
ผผู้ใช้ไม่ระบุชื่อI didn’t pay much attention to the hotel’s details because I was out scuba diving every day. This hotel is old, so if you’re looking for a super clean and modern feel, this isn’t the place for you. They provide a good breakfast, and the staff even packed it for me since I had to leave early for diving. The location isn’t far from the main center, and there are plenty of shops nearby, which is convenient if you want to buy snacks or grab a quick meal.
ผผู้เข้าพักOverall, our stay was very good – actually, better than expected! We had a lovely balcony with a nice view. The pool itself was nice – perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Staff was helpful. After we checked out, we accidentally left some clothes in the washing machine, and they kindly recovered them for us. That kind of thoughtful service makes all the difference!
Downstairs, there are plenty of food options, so you’ll never go hungry.
I’d definitely recommend this place for couples or small families looking for a comfortable, well-located base. Great value for money.

WWilly TuahAll the kids looked super happy! 😄
Really satisfied with choosing the 3-bedroom unit — it’s perfect for a family gathering.
This is already our 3rd time staying here, and it’s definitely worth it every time.
Just one downside: there’s no WiFi. Hopefully they’ll add it in the future 😊
Overall, very satisfied!

AAlice WFNHad a really lovely staycation recently! The facilities were great, and the sunset view was absolutely stunning, definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-designed, which made the stay even more enjoyable.
We were also happy to be able to get a connecting room this time, which made things so much more convenient for my family. We had requested wheelchair accessibility, and the staff truly did their best to accommodate our needs , really appreciate the kindness and effort shown.
One small area for improvement would be the landscaping around the resort, which could use a bit more maintenance.
Overall, my family and I are very satisfied with our stay and would happily come back again. Thank you for the thoughtful hospitality!
