Very good

Ok hotel centered on old area of kota kinabalu. Staff was very nice. Room was average with some updates. Has refrigerator but also has slot that room key must be inserted in for electricity to work. When you take key and leave room refrigerator has no power. Why have refrigerator? Hotel was quiet but hallways smelled like cigarettes. I think there are better choices in KK at this price point.
We really enjoyed our stay here,the rooms were spotlessly clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Lots of restaurants and shopping around this area, would definitely use the hotel again.
use again.
The hotel is very close to the city center (Jetty, waterfront, night market, good restaurants). The staffs were very nice and happy to switch rooms for us upon request. Room view was not very nice, though, but admittedly it is hard to find a good view with how buildings in KK are placed.
Soundproofing between rooms is very poor.
Other than that, the room is clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel is awesome. The staff are very friendly and attentive.
The Mandarin was the perfect location, the staff were all lovely - so friendly and helpful. I had the pleasure of meeting the manager who gave me some great advice, I booked for 2 nights and stayed for 3! If you need a comfortable base in KK because you’re out exploring then this is perfect. Small, compact but perfect for me a solo traveler wanting to spend my days exploring. My bed was very comfortable and the shower was lovely!
The location is good- walking distance to markets, waterfront, ferry etc. Staff is very nice. The rooms are a little small and feels cramped and the window is small, but the bathroom is very modern and excellent.
Great place to stay if you're here for Borneo Marathon. Shuttle bus pickup point is a walking distance away. Additional bonus, free transport from Hotel to Airport on checkout day. Lots of activities around the hotel area, walking distance to Gaya Street.
It was good. Location next to alot of great food and mall. Except late night karaoke and friday pasa malam and Sunday mkts either keeps us awake or wakes us too early.
Centrally located, walking distance to Suria sabah, jetty for island hopping, gaya Street market is right in front. The staff are proud of keeping the hotel rooms clean and I really appreciated that. Wonderful house keeping. The only things that will make this stay better is to have a more efficient hot water shower system. Water needs to run for a while to get heated. Also, rooms can get noisy due to neighbours slamming the doors or talking along corridors.
