Have just spent two days (May 2013) in this Hotel in the centre of busy Kota Kinabalu. Two very big positives are the very friendly, genuinely helpful staff, and the great central city location - great for short walks to the markets, shops and many restaurants. The room was well appointed, clean and comfortable. They went out of their way... More

Just spent a week at Le Meridien, the staff were absolutely fantastic, very friendly, gave us lots of support when we had to arrange some business emails etc whilst we were staying there. The view from our room was amazing. Great location, you can walk all around the town and markets just across the road. I would stay there again.... More

Arrived here on a weekday and good check in as opened another check in when the line gets long. Comfortable and spacious rooms. Good location opposite market, foodstalls and night market. Great place for business & vacation. Value for money. Went here for business and easy access for taxi & airport.

I stayed at Le Meridien for one night when I first arrived in KK; before heading off inland. I booked online, and managed to get the room for under $100 for the night, which I thought was a very good price for this hotel. Upon arrival, I was asked if I would like an upgrade for approximately $40 (which I... More

Views from the hotel are amazing as you can watch the fishing fleet come and go as well as the market. We had an extremely large room, that probably needed slightly more furniture in it as it felt cavernous, but the bonus was the view. While there was a slightly musty smell in the hotel, this can be characteristic of... More
