Hotels With Gym in Sabah, Malaysia

"I stayed here before it became part of the Bonvoy Marriott hotels. It's an excellent choice for a family holiday—the rooms are spacious and immaculately clean. The neighborhood offers plenty of great cafes and restaurants nearby. However, if you want to visit the city center, you'll need to take a Grab or taxi as it's not within walking distance."

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 Also, the power outlets are outdated in terms of specifications and placement; not being able to charge devices by the bed is quite frustrating.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

"When I arrived, it was late at night and the area around the apartment was dimly lit. But the daytime view was completely different! There are many restaurants downstairs, which is convenient for breakfast! Taxis are also easy to find! Even if it takes too long to get a taxi during peak hours, it's only a 10-minute walk to Gaya Street! The apartment is quite spacious, clean, and comfortable. It would be even better if there was a bit more space around the two single beds! The sea view is really nice, but there's construction going on in front. There's a washing machine and dryer, which is convenient for laundry, and a drying rack for hanging clothes! There's also a kitchen for cooking! The bathroom hygiene was just okay; there were stains on the walls, and the rinsing cups weren't very clean. The apartment also has a swimming pool and children's play facilities!"

"I booked a twin room with club access. The club lounge was fantastic for sunset views in the afternoon, and they offered cocktails. The city view room was quiet and spacious, with complete amenities. The location is also quite good; it's about a 10-minute walk to seafood restaurants (like Yu Kee, KK, and Welcome Seafood Restaurant) and roughly 15 minutes to Suria Sabah shopping mall."

"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!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻"
