I stayed at this hotel for a week, and the room was very comfortable with a nice view. The room was excellent and a good choice. However, do not expect all services stated by the hotel to be included. For instance, the pool was closed due to renovations, even though this was not mentioned on their website. They say they...

We stayed at this hotel for a week in a suite. Everything went well - the hotel is looking a bit tired (especially the suite we stayed in), but all the services that one requires, are there. The breakfast each morning was fantastic - just be aware that if you get caught in the breakfast rush by a tour group,... More

We have stayed in Novotel KK a few times over the past few years and we have always enjoyed our stay (previously reviewed in Dec 2011). On our last visit, we noted that this hotel was starting to fall into disrepair. The results of rushed finishing works during the construction of the hotel can now be clearly seen. The most... More

The staff at the hotel were really friendly and very helpful. Every request was addressed quickly and thoroughly. Our adjoining rooms were good value for money, and the hotel is conveniently located adjacent to the 1Borneo Hypermall. The buffet breakfast is excellent. We would happily stay here again.

Most modern among its peers of hotel in Kota Kinabalu. Rooms are wee bit spacious and modern, although signs of age can be visible. Love the glass wall separating the bathroom and the bed (with privacy screen as well). Cabled Internet was free though not fast. Service wise was sufficient although slow and unhurried reflecting the quality unhurried way of... More
