Hotels With breakfast in Sabah, Malaysia

"The lobby isn't huge, but the whole place is clean, tidy, and comfortable. On July 13th, we were greeted by a Chinese staff member who spoke Mandarin, which made communication super easy. She was very warm and polite. I'd give her a 100% satisfaction score! Facilities: The hotel is well-equipped. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Environment: Overall, it felt very comfortable. Service: Every staff member was courteous, smiling, and very polite. I totally forgot to take photos, but the first picture is of the lobby lounge where I ordered a chocolate and some snacks."

"Another stay at Dreamtel and still very satisfied! The location is super convenient, just a 5-minute walk to Gaya Street. If you're looking for seafood, I highly recommend Welcome Seafood Restaurant – it's cheap and delicious. I ate there three nights in a row!"

"Let's cut to the chase – this is an established, high-end hotel in Kota Kinabalu with decent service and a good location, still worth considering. The hotel is right next to Suria Sabah shopping mall. It's a short walk to Gaya Street, the Durian Night Market, and the new DBKK Jetty. While it might not be as luxurious as the Magellan Sutera or Shangri-La, it's incredibly convenient for food, shopping, and transportation. The decor feels a bit dated, leading to poor lighting, especially in the bathroom. The soundproofing for doors, windows, and walls is quite good, but the air conditioning is incredibly noisy. Also, the power outlets are outdated in terms of specifications and placement; not being able to charge devices by the bed is quite frustrating. Remember to bring a couple of extra travel adapters. The bathroom drain was a bit clogged, and drying clothes was also inconvenient. The most significant drawback is the large apartment hotel currently under construction next door. Some rooms now face directly onto the construction site, and once it's finished, the view will likely be quite impacted. However, the hotel's management still demonstrates the competence of an established brand. The concierge is always smiling and helpful with opening doors and carrying luggage. The front desk staff are polite and patient in their communication. Although the breakfast selection is limited, the quality is consistently high. Nasi Lemak is served daily, and the sambal sauce is absolutely on par with renowned local restaurants – rich in flavor, perfectly spicy, and the fried anchovies aren't overly salty. The milk from the coffee machine is also of good quality."

"Friendly front desk staff. Good location in town. Plenty of restaurant, there is a night market nearby at night. Hotel interior is old but still acceptable. Clean room and sufficient bed mattress. Air conditioning is working well. Value for money."

"I was really disappointed with this hotel experience. (The staff were very friendly, but the hotel facilities and soundproofing were poor.) The bathroom facilities were extremely basic, and the overall room amenities felt cheap and ordinary. Perhaps due to the materials used in the renovations, you could hear everything going on upstairs. This definitely needs improvement, especially considering it costs 700 RMB per night. 🫪"

"Our kids absolutely loved the room! It was cleaned daily, and the cleaning staff were so friendly, leaving little written notes for the children, which made them feel really special. The room also had cooking utensils, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a great stay. What really stood out was when I left my phone on the lobby sofa when we were leaving; the staff at the entrance quickly secured it and put it at the front desk. When I came back to look for it, they immediately told me they had found it. Really excellent service!"

"Great location, right on Gaya Street, making it super convenient to get around. The room is well-equipped with a large dressing table that's perfect for writing, working, and doing makeup. Although there's no sofa, there's a raised platform that's quite comfortable to lie on for a bit. There's also plenty of floor space, enough to open up two 24-inch suitcases flat. The front desk staff also speaks Chinese, which made communication easy, and they were very gentle and kind. Breakfast is at the nearby Yu Kee Cafe, just a three-minute walk away. Even though I stayed for three days, I only tried it once, but the food was pretty good. What was also a pleasant surprise, probably due to a recent renovation, is that the design includes many power outlets of various types, some of which don't even require an adapter, which is incredibly convenient for using multiple electronics simultaneously. This hotel offers great value for money, highly recommended!"
