No Refund ##### T Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Khin Choy 23 Aug 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Basically the hotel rooms are totally not maintained and dirty. The worse was the bathroom..... totally not maintained. ##### Khin Choy Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### HYGINUS 1 Jun 2023 The room was spacious but the furniture was old. The ironing board in the room was broken. There were no bath towel and floor mat. I had to ask twice. The 2 pieces of bath towels were old and worn out as well. Overall, I had a decent stay. ##### HYGINUS Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Stefan 28 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I think this was one of the nice hotels i Kota Kinabalu. Not too new and some better maintenance is possible, but for the prices offered, it's definitely OK. My observations from that hotel and from the next, in Sandakan, show that probably in all Malaysia (or at least in Borneo) there is something to be improved in housekeeping. It took some effort to receive towels, there were some chambermaid's hairs on the floor... things like that are definitely not the best, even though I won't remember the place with that. Rooms were very spacious, internet worked, even though wasn't too great, but the best thing in this hotel was the breakfast, included in the room rates. ##### Stefan Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kok Hao 23 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities Compliments to the housekeeping team for always making my room tidy and clean whenever I requested for it. Two staff in particular deserves a huge shout out for making my trip in Sabah pleasant. Nur Liza from the reception has been extremely helpful and has went out her way to make my stay comfortable. She assisted and handled my problems well. She is approachable and easy to communicate to in the hotel. Ronald from the Cafe was professional and recommended me the right dessert to eat in the hotel. The food from the cafe and breakfast buffet was decent if I need a quick meal or I am unsure of what to get. Despite the great team behind the hotel, the hotel is a little rundown from the rooms, gym, swimming pool showers and carpark. If there is a renovation to these key areas, Sabah Oriental Hotel would be a definite easy recommendation from me and will have a great potential as it is extremely near to the city centre and key tourist attractions as well. Until there is a significant improvement to the hotel conditions, this hotel will remain as a good budget hotel for travellers especially for solo guests. Will be happy to return back to the hotel when I visit Sabah soon again. Thank you for taking good care of me. ##### Kok Hao Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Marius 12 Feb 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Oriental for Oriental people. It is in the name, Oriental, and i think it is best for people from the Orient. The breakfast was the least western of the 12 hotels we wisited on this wacation. Hardly anny western food. First day, the egg-cook arrived 30min after we started eating. There where no toast left at 9.00 When we checked inn at 22.00 at night, as one of the last guests of the day, they couldnt find our booking, so they demanded the booking number, even when i told them witch date we booked, 4 monts earlier. I had to start my computer and get it on their wifi, to try to find it in my computer, but after 25 minutes they found it in their system. The room was lacking towels and no remote for the TV. When we checked out they didnt allowe us to store our lugage in their lugage room, This was order by the manager. because they expected some groups to arrive, meaning we had to bring all our suitecases with us out to Manukan Island for our daytrip. We Got very pised off by this and demanded to speak to the manager, so one of the staf caled him and told him there where some guests going craycy, so we where alowed to store it in there. When we returned at 17.30 to pick up our lugage, to go to the airport for our 20.30 departure, there where a few other items in there, but the room was almost empety. The staf in reseption where helpfull in ordering a Grab for us when whe needed a taxi. 10min walk away is a huge new western shopingmall where we ate at Burgerking and we got money from a ATM. ##### Marius Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Yohko 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service 冷蔵庫周辺が生臭い臭いがした。 それ以外は快適でした。 ##### Yohko Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### KAZUO 5 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities バスタオルが３日間、一度も替えてもらえなかった。 バスマットも歯磨きもナシ！ 以前あれほど楽しみだった朝食もまるでダメです！ そして高い！ 20年も利用しましたが、これで最後です。 ##### KAZUO Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### mohd zaki 13 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall ok.

The breakfast was served individually which was considered okay during this pandemic. i have to call twice to ask for towels which sent after 2 hrs waiting? towel for bathroom isn't stocked up properly. as for the check-in procedure, i wont comment much as it's on weekend and everyone on holidays. good thing that they serve us welcome drinks while waiting for our room key. room service? luckily its good, oh, food is so so, but the service is def great, kudos to that. check out procedure alright. but oh well, it's def worth the price value. ##### N.G Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary 14 Feb 2020 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Breakfast is nice.

Booked 2 rooms for 5 nights with the hotel. Connecting rooms given on the 11th floor were spacious. Comfortable bed and wi-fi in the rooms good enough to stay connected with loved ones back home. Furnishing could be improved cos quite outdated. Safe boxes provided but locked and could not use. Chipped surface on the bath tub and stained WC for both toilets. Needed to request for towels, floor mat, room slippers and water stoppers cos not provided during check in. Staff were polite and accomodating. Breakfast good. Swimming pool functional but quite small. Overall, enjoyed our stay in the hotel.

No internet except in lobby (next to the reception, in the restaurant and the fountain). The room seems really worn out: the curtains had holes and there was a hole in the ceiling in the bathroom. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Maryhill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maryhill-Hotels.d6132341.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Regina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-Hotel-Regina.h1170158.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Cologne-Bonn Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Hotels-Moxy-Cologne-Bonn-Airport.h65510798.Hotel-Information) > > [Centra Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Canary-Wharf-Studios.h20260044.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Uzbekistan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Uzbekistan.d11412.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Nexus Resort & Spa Karambunai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kota-Kinabalu-Hotels-Nexus-Resort-Spa-Karambunai.h1742700.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seven-Mile-Beach-Hotels-The-Westin-Grand-Cayman-Seven-Mile-Beach-Resort-Spa.h14859.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Bali.d602651.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotel Scenario](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Scenario.h39799948.Hotel-Information) > > [BV Kalafiorita Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zambrone-Hotels-BV-Kalafiorita-Resort.h23157225.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Norwich Theatre Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Theatre-Royal-Hotels.0-l553248621555971975-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Villas Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Provence-Alpes-Cote-DAzur-Villas.d6048219-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel Coronation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Hotel-Coronation.h9628635.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kota-Kinabalu-Hotels-Shangri-La-Tanjung-Aru.h2388.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [MarriottHotelsResorts Hotels in Cornwall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cornwall-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-0-d6052301--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Widemouth Bay Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Widemouth-Bay-Beach-Hotels.0-l6094483-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Sylhet (ZYL) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/zyl/man/sylhet-to-manchester) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Latham (ALB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/alb/london-to-albany) > > [Flights from Darwin (DRW) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/drw/lhr/darwin-to-london) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Sarajevo (SJJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/sjj/birmingham-to-sarajevo) ### Cars > [Car hire in Agios Gordios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Agios-Gordios.d6094937.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Porto Heli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Porto-Heli.d6052240.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Khasab](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Khasab.d1812.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Mozambique Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mozambique.d123.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [ski holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/ski-holidays) ### General > [Visit Elounda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Elounda.dx6051678)
