The hotel front staff is friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is good. The sunset view from the rooftop is so beautiful. In addition, I had a great time with my child because I could see the take-off scene of the aircraft up close. There are many useful stores such as restaurants and marts near the hotel, so it is convenient. It is very close to the airport, so it is convenient.
If you pay for the deposit with your card at check-in, it cannot be canceled immediately at check-out, and it is a pity that it takes about two weeks. Most hotels cancel the card approval right away at check-out.
I'm waiting for the deposit I paid with my credit card to be canceled properly.

Luma Hotel was incredible and very clean! It had a pleasant fragrance throughout. The bellboy and attendant were outstanding. The hotel is conveniently located next to Imago Shopping Mall—just a short walk across a bridge. It’s also near several convenience stores and Chagee. The staff provided excellent service, assisting us by storing our luggage while we waited for our flight. Our room was spacious and comfortable.

During arrivals/ checking in time, the front desk does not so welcome or sense of friendly gesture.
It’s too robotic..
The room was nice and clean the bed is comfortable too.
The breakfast food was great and delicious especially the nasi lemak sambal! That was my highlight.
We saw a waiter at the restaurant but doesn’t do the table cleaning.its so messy and we have to clean the table by ourselves.
Please improve more with these customer services.

It's been the fifth day since I checked out. The deposit hasn't been refunded to me yet. I don't know if it's because the lipstick accidentally rubbed on their towels, so the deposit is not refunded. Is their towels worth rm100? I can wash it off when I rub it on my clothes, but they can't.
The room is quite comfortable and well-equipped, but there is a lot of dust, and the sound insulation is not good. I was awakened by the sound of the next room in the middle of the night.
距离退房到今天第五天了 deposit还没有退给我,不知道是不是因为口红不小心蹭到他们的毛巾上 所以不退deposit了 他们的毛巾价值rm100吗?我蹭到自己的衣服上都能洗掉 而他们洗不掉

Front desk service is best, friendly with most smiling face, always greeting and friendly chat to customer, bedding matters a bit soft and some spring is not well in condition, but ovell room amenities is good. However, I really wondered why a 5 stars Hotel the restaurant all size plate, bowl, even cups are so so oily, sticky, food mark, stains on almost all pieces of them, I keep on looking for more clean one but sad to said is no one is clean, really very sticky and oily, hope the restaurant can look serious on this matter, I can said I never seen such dirty plate, even I go to 2 or 3 star hotel, the plate is more clean then Le Meridien, but food and beverage is good, I love the service can custome order our favourite fresh fruit juice and coffee

Quite a good location with relatively short drive or cab to Gaya and the markets. The distance for walking would not be a problem for most people, but for a seniors not recommended especially if the weather is hot.

SSoloWondersSecond time staying here. This time I had the chance to explore the surroundings and the city.
Hotel is still in pretty good shape. Hotel staff absolutely wonderful: polite and friendly.
Hotel room is super clean - and I got overly happy to find out that one of the earring locks I had dropped was found by the cleaning lady without me having to ask!!!
The hotel is close to a night market with many delicious food stalls and great restaurants with fresh sea food, cafés and supermarkets like Servay and Bataras, and even to polyclinics, in case you need.
On my last night I went for a foot massage in one of the parlours above the building on the right hand side and wow! This is definitely my place to stay in KK!!!
FFaleinshahPerfect for solo traveler. Great location & eateries everywhere. No icebox nor iron/ iron board in room. Room not soundproof & bit smaller for 2 person. 10 or 15 minutes walk to Suria Sabah mall. Might want to buy your own drinking/ mineral water, only provided 1 bottle.
AAnonymous UserLocation is at Gaya street Kota Kinabalu. If you're staying during weekend, it privileged you for Gaya Sunday Market and night market. Hotel is near to shopping malls, pharmacy, eateries.
SSallyNurseExcellent facilities 😁!
Cleanliness is good.
Upon arrival around 3pm, no bellboy at the hotel to assist us with luggage.
The reception who helped us with our check in is very unprofessional.
2 of them have keropok on their desk and eat in front of me. Later they even exchange each other’s keropok. I didn’t see her wash hand before handling my hotel room key/document!
Other service, for aircon and hot water issue, after cll them, they came quite on time to fix problem.
The only reason I will return will be their hotel room size, excellent room view and breakfast view. Thank you
GGB16Good hotel.Jotel been well upgraded. Look new. Reception frarah excellant. Meet director of room Bernard, amazing guy and wealth of knowledge, humble and good public relation.
Room 830 only issue was TV all the channel need to adjust or fix screen not clear (running line).Young
Bell boy with spetical amazing(selfie photo) . Good knowledge on local area.. I love your rain shower wonderfully cold water shower the best among other hotels.

HHamsirexcellent experience, the staffs very nice and friendly.they offered me to upgrade to bigger size room but I refuse bcoz of my child and my wife already exhausted and we can't wait for another 1 hour for upgraded room. The room was awesome and clean, this is new hotel and the surrounding was marvelous. Nice sea view. Easy to access to pasar Tanjung Kinabalu and malls such as suria Sabah and centre point sabah
MMr TravellerNice hotel to stay but on basic need as they claimed they area trying their best in accommodating patron's need with affordable room rate. So all amenities will charged according to our need.
VVinnnzI booked 1 bedroom sea view spa suite apartment. It was located on the 5 floors. I brought one toodler, how scary it is. But worry not, the balcony got grill and sliding door glass.
Very comfortable, and foods is good. Eventho pricey. The is basic kitchen utensil, can cook.
