Used it as our base hotel as we travelled around Borneo and I would recommend it to everyone. Not far from the airport, has adjacent restaurants & cafe's plus a ten minute walk from the city market & seafront.

We stayed at this hotel for about a week, and it ranks as one of the best hotel experiences i've ever had. The rooms are very big, with top notch linens. The staff is very helpful and nice. It is a great location. You will never be disappointed if you choose this place.

Set on a corner of Gaya Street, opposite Oldtown White Coffee, the Jesselton Hotel was perfectly placed for us to explore Kota Kinabalu, as it's easy walking distance to everywhere from here and also just a quick drive from the airport to reach! We arrived on 2nd May for one night then set of to climb Mount Kinabalu, returning to... More

the jesselton hoetl is located in the central of the city so was very easy for us to get to places. the room was big and bright. my wife loved the hotel decoration style! the staff always greeted us with a big smile!

It took me just 20 mins by taxi from the KK International Airport to reach the Jesselton Hotel located ideally in the heart of the city surrounded by numerous shopping centres , banks and restaurants almost everything a traveller needed. The hotel was established in 1954 but it retained it's evergreen colonial elegance and originality through it's consistent restoration and... More

The Jesselton Hotel has its charm. The colonial building looks really nice at night. The location is close to old shops in the downtown. Housekeeping needs to be more detailed in cleaning the rooms. Overall we enjoyed out two days stay in this hotel as the markets outside the hotel offered a lot of choices for food.

Jesselton Hotel , A very nice comfortable "old style" hotel, Jesselton the name, was the name of the City back in the Colonial days before being called Kota Kinabalu, and I reckon the later sounds much better ! The rooms have been refurbished and a of a nice size, location couldn't get any better, smack bang in the middle of... More

Like to stay at Jesselton Hotel at the old street of KK downtown, the point is great convenient to reach every where by foot. The hotel is value for money for any kind of business travelers, solo travelers and families. Though it is a bit old but it has its character and taste, worth staying and pop in any cafe... More

The Jesselton may be a faded beauty, the lift old and the housekeeping shabby, but somehow this place rises above that to be somewhere that is charming. Being able to step outside on a Saturday and be immediately immersed in the markets is another bonus. All in all, a nice place to stay at a great price.
