Hotels With Gym 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."

"Pros: Location: It's not in the busiest area, but the main attractions are within walking distance. Room: My 8th-floor room faced the river, offering a peaceful environment and a beautiful sunrise view in the morning. The room came with a basic kitchen and utensils, allowing for cooking. There's also a pool and gym available on the 4th floor. Customer Service: The customer service was quick to respond to issues like internet problems, and providing bottled water and toilet paper. However, items I asked staff to deliver to my room (like bottled water) were significantly delayed. Self-check-in was convenient, and no deposit was required. Suggestions: Provide bottled water upon check-in (my friend, who booked an SCSP apartment with another company, had 10 bottles already in their room upon arrival). Add clearer instructions for the hot water switch in the bathroom (I had to ask customer service to find out where it was). Room cleanliness needs improvement; the sofa was dusty. I suggest arranging for cleaning during longer stays."

"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 Also, the power outlets are outdated in terms of specifications and placement; not being able to charge devices by the bed is quite frustrating.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."

"The service was great, and the facilities were complete, including a washing machine with a dryer function, which was excellent. There was also a microwave, refrigerator, induction cooker, and other appliances. We bought seafood from the market and cooked it ourselves, which was really nice. The apartment is by the sea, so you can watch the sunset from the room. It's close to Jesselton Market and next to Jesselton Point, making it very convenient for island hopping."

"The room's cleanliness was decent, nothing overtly uncomfortable. As for the environment: it's located by the sea, but the area downstairs isn't great. It's essentially just one building, lacking a proper hotel ambiance, perhaps comparable to an Atour Hotel in China. The hotel hasn't been open for long, but the facilities already look a bit dated. There are plenty of dining options not far from the hotel, which makes getting around quite convenient. However, I booked this only a few days before my trip, and around 1200 for a city view room still felt a bit pricey. The breakfast was disappointing; it lacked any distinctive features or anything noteworthy."

"The hotel room was the most comfortable and pleasant I've ever stayed in. The corridors and rooms were incredibly clean, with no strange odors. We booked a twin bed but got an extra bed, which was a shame since we didn't have the kids with us this time! The room was spacious and comfortable, truly well-maintained even though the hotel is over 10 years old. For less than RM150, we got a room that felt like a homestay, which would normally cost RM250, complete with a large one-door fridge and a pantry with a sink. We'll definitely come back again and bring the kids to stay and enjoy the pool. Thumbs up to Ming Garden Hotel & Residence!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻"
