Hotels in Downtown Kota Kinabalu, Kota Kinabalu

Whether your budget is Veuve Clicquot or a six-pack of beer, the perfect accommodation awaits in Downtown Kota Kinabalu. Located 0.5 kilometres from central Kota Kinabalu, it's a great place to stay if you're eager to experience the vibe of this bustling city.

It's unlikely anyone has ever uttered the phrase, 'I’m bored', in Kota Kinabalu. This destination has a whole lot of awesome things to see and do, such as 1 Borneo Hypermall, the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park and the Sabah State Mosque.

You won't have to spend ages getting from your hotel to reach the Sabah State Mosque. Stay close by at the Shangri La's Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa, The Magellan Sutera Resort, The Pacific Sutera Hotel, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu and Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu and save time for the fun stuff.

Go for a stroll and enjoy some birdwatching at Tabin Wildlife Reserve. If you're after somewhere to stay close by, the Jack's CondoApartment @ Marina Court Resort Condominium and Ming Garden Hotel and Residences are two terrific options. Pay a visit to Sabah Agricultural Park if you're looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Palace Hotel Kota Kinabalu and Sabah Oriental Hotel are a few of the most sought-after accommodation options to look into close to here.

Everyone has holiday horror stories about receptionists from hell and infestations of creepy-crawlies. But trust us, cheap doesn't have to mean nasty. There are tons of budget hotels on offer here, and our favourites are the D' Borneo Hotel and Iskandar Sinsuran Guesthouse.

If you get back home and you're not a little bit afraid to look at your bank balance, did you even go on holiday? The Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu and Grandis Hotel are worth considering if you don't mind spending a few extra notes.

Why not grab the squad and plan the first night of your getaway over a hot coffee at Sunset View Point? It's not far away, and there's plenty of delicious cakes to keep you going. Trust us, you'll need some decent food after all that sightseeing. Luckily, Miga Korea Bbq has a tasty menu which will really fill you up! Now you've warmed up, we're guessing you wouldn't say no to a beer (or three) at Hard Rock Cafe. It's a fab place to debrief on the day's adventures.
