When I first saw the reviews, I genuinely was so worried.. but upon arrival, it wasn't as bad. Parking was a bit hard to find around the area since it was a jokey parking.. a lot of shops, massage parlours & restaurants around. Located in the middle of Centre Point, Imago & Suria Sabah so we went to all three places LOL
Cleanliness wise, the toilet is pretty decent, had a few bugs around though. On the first night, we had no problems with baby cockroaches but on day 2 & day 3, there were like 3 baby cockroaches roaming around 💔
Bed had stains on them, room was small & they have no refrigerators in case you need a place for cold stuff. Uhh all in all, I'd say it was a 6/10. Cheap & affordable but comes with downsides

Good value hotel.
Pro:
Free bottled water, and free water filter at the ground floor.
The staff are polite.
Clean room.Close to gaya street.
Con:
The bathroom has a bad smell on rainy days (that's normal, just leave the windows of the bathroom open)
My room is other side that has see view window but I stayed comfortable. I can drink tea and coffee. Theere are a lot of local restaurants around the Hostel and I can walk to supermarket and convenience stores.
Room was spacious and very clean. Very comfortable with 2 pillows each bed. Toilet also very clean and has enough towels for 3 of us.
Hotel staff also was very friendly and helpful especially during check in. Breakfast buffet not many choices of food but still enough to make stomach full.
Location wise very good. Near to Pasar Philippines and next to Central Point mall. Easy to get anything around there.
Had a very pleasant stay and will consider coming back.
ผผู้เข้าพักHotel is definitely dated but rooms are clean and decent. Gym was under maintenance when i was there but they offered good alternatives. Pool is decent though overlooking the coastal road. Good location near gaya st
ผผู้เข้าพักThe room is clean and facilities are in good conditions. Location is great. Nearby has eating places, two 24 hours convenient shops and Imago Shopping Mall. Services are prompt and staffs are friendly and helpful. We had a very good experience staying here for 5 days. Thanks.
SSamantha been stayed here for many times.. every time come visit kk will only choose this hotel due to its located in between Suria shopping mall and Wisma Merdeka and by walking distance to Gaya street .. however please take note this hotel a bit rundown due to years
IIvy Jasson EbalNice place and near to 1borneo Hypermall,All staff were friendly and polite,gud services, the room was clean and confortable,we book deluxe king,nice for kids with a bathtub, food was good and all amenities are complete.
Awesome and wiil come again soon!
The price was worth it.✌🤩
BBinti AEasy to communicate with the host. Check-in and check-out were quick and hassle-free. The room price was very reasonable for the location and the number of beds provided. It suited our small family perfectly.
The Shore Kota Kinabalu is centrally located, making it easy to get to nearby shops, restaurants, and other attractions. Parking is not free, but the price was still acceptable for us.
As mentioned in many reviews, the elevator issue is quite serious. We avoided using it during peak hours, which helped a lot. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and enjoyed it.
ผผู้เข้าพักIt's a little out of town but I chose it for the close proximity to the beach and swimming ,which is about a 10min walk from the hotel. There are street food and drinks stalls available from about 3pm . Tanjung Aru beach is beautiful, uncrowded and the beach shelves away gently making it a safe swimming area. However, the beach had rubbish washed up and maintenance isn't a priority I guess. I swam everyday and didn't get sick ,that's a bonus.
The room ( the whole place)was tired looking, it could do with a lick of paint and maintenance. Room was clean when I got there but I strongly doubt it was cleaned in the entire time I was there for five days. Often had to ask for toilet paper , shampoo and shower gel , and coffee sachets etc ,basics to be stocked whenever housekeeping does their cleaning. Air con worked for me although the settings couldn't be altered !
The bed springs creak and you feel the springs when you sit on the bed but I slept ok only because I was usually exhausted from the day's activities . The beds and mattresses definitely need renewing though.
The fridge was mouldy and smelly , what a blooming shame : /
The safe was broken - hallelujah!
I kept my room door locked at all times only because Reception staff hardly looked up to see who comes and goes- they sit very low,almost out of view at their front desk. I wasn't convinced about their perception of safety especially as I'm a solo female traveller and I need to be alert and take great caution.
Casuarina Hotel are you taking note?
Reception is helpful but that depends who is present.
Lifts work fine without too much of a wait. The cafe on ground level serves an American breakfast but I couldn't tell you whether that's worth your while. It looked like Mary Celeste everytime I peeped in there so wasn't convinced about getting fed or a service. Therefore, I had fruit and snacks as standby .. There's a lovely restaurant a few yards from the hotel called the Yolo Seafood Restaurant which tends to open from 11.30am- delicious and inexpensive with friendly staff.
Grab taxi fare to city centre varies from MYR 7- 25 Ringgit ,the higher tariff if returning during commuter rush hours from city centre which is a 15- 25 min ride .
Would I stay here again ? I would actually knowing all its idiosyncrasis compared to so many awful or simplly mediocre accommodation charging an arm and a leg , I think Casuarina is just ok . Value for money? I don't think so .
