Stayed for 2 nights
Always to stay here rate wise depends, u could grab a great offer but unfortunately i didnt
I stayed dueing ramadan, and had 2 sahoor but both servings are dissappointment, tasteless and i dont know
Even try their iftar programme too, but hurmm sadly it was the same
Silver linings is walking distance to Imago mall, 10min ehailing to airport
The parking is free (first come first serve)
Owh forgot about the room smell, smells draft abit
Recommended hotel but need to step up on the culinaries.
All is good except food, noodle station, bread/pastries and fruit menu need to change every day at least half of them because Grandis is a 4 star hotel. They cannot be the same 80-90% every day. There are 3 star hotels out there who manage to do this very well even with fewer varieties of menu without breaking the budget. For example: Nite & Day Hotel Laguna at Bintan - Tanjung Pinang, Indonesia. Thank you and I hope Grandis can improve on my suggestion.
Stayed at The Sigar Sutera Bay and had a really pleasant experience overall.
Cleanliness: 5/5 – The room and common areas were very clean and well maintained throughout my stay.
Location: Quite strategic. It’s conveniently located near popular spots like Aru Beach, Suria Sabah, Jesselton, as well as malls such as Servay Penampang and Emart Lintas, making it easy to get around.
Service: The reception team was very helpful and responsive whenever I needed assistance or requested items.
Amenities: Good facilities provided. The swimming pool was spacious and clean, which made it enjoyable to relax and unwind.
Overall, a comfortable stay and worth considering if you’re visiting the area.
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!
ผผู้เข้าพักStayed at Borneo Beach Villa Karambunai and it was such a chill getaway. The sea view memang nice and the whole place felt super private — perfect to just relax and clear your head. Villa was spacious, nothing fancy but comfortable, and the kids had the best time at the private pool and beach. Overall, a fun and easy place for a laid-back family trip by the beach 🌊
