"The staff were extremely helpful and attentive!. They even have powerbanks and charging cables in e room. It's also near to the airport so if you do not want to hear aeroplanes then may nt work for you. "
"If given a chance I will still go back and use this hotel..its not like the high end ones but considering its price, Dreamtel is really good. Very convenient and even the check in and check out is very hassle free."
"I truly enjoyed my stay at this charming hotel. The atmosphere was spacious and quaint, offering a peaceful retreat while still being incredibly convenient. Its location made it easy to access all parts of Kota Kinabalu, whether for sightseeing, dining, or shopping. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the overall experience was smooth and relaxing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort and accessibility in one place!"
"Awesome location to enjoy the Saturday & Sunday Gaya Market. Comfortable with basic facilities. Highly recommend if you're planning to explore the nearby area."
"Our state was very nice. No problems. Just to be aware that this is not the touristy part of town. With no offense meant, we were the only white couple. We saw the whole time in this area. Everyone was smiling and friendly. No problem whatsoever with the locals they were very welcoming!"

"This place is consistently fantastic. The site itself is beautiful and really well appointed. The views are stunning, and sunset just sensational. Well worth the cost to enjoy the sunset bar. Food options are great - we used most of these during our stay. The breakfast is wonderful, with a great range to cater to all tastes.
The main thing that makes this place amazing though is the staff. All our interactions with staff were fantastic. Haniff over in food and beverages will do whatever he can to make your stay special - and has an incredible memory for the details of the guests. Brandon who took care of us on our hotel organised trip to Sapi Island was fantastic - knowledgeable, kind to our daughter, and made sure we got out to the reef to snorkel before it was understandably closed due to low tide. All staff, from those in the kids water area and in the games room, to those looking after your room and helping with bags, were great. We'd stayed right before coming to this hotel at another, big, "5 star" place not far away - also with nice features - but what makes the difference is how you are made to feel at Shangri-La Tanjang Aru. That is what made our holiday.
(I can only hope that the hotel managers do not expand further and risk losing what makes this place special. There is a pretty warehouse for people wanting to take instagram photos up the road - keep this place the treasure it is!)"
"Spacious clean rooms. Friendly staff. Incredible food. Excellent location- walking distance to the food markets, Sunday markets, the ferry port and malls. Special mention again to all staff there- extremely friendly and helpful. We had a great stay, thank you!"
