Very close to the airport and is located within walking distance from the shopping mall Imago. Room is clean and spacious, and front desk staff is polite and nice. Several food outlets and convenience store are available right next to the hotel. City center is a bit far if on foot. Grab is recommended.

This is my second stay with The Luma Hotel during this trip. This time the check-in was seamless and we were upgraded to room 200, the biggest room they had. The room is massive, two big beds, separate shower and toilet, shutters between bathtub can be closed. For travellers who don’t like the usual pokey hotel room, this one is for you! The bathtub is God-sent especially after hiking Mount Kinabalu. Overall service was smooth, very happy with this stay.
