Kota Kinabalu hotel great location

Review of Hotel Grandis
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 Jul 2024via mobile
Wow a great city hotel in the South China Sea and close to all the amenities that KK has to offer
Large and spacious rooms we had one overlooking the SCS and was a pleasure to see the sunset and the myriad of colours in the sky.
Staff very good
Great breakfast with lots on offer
Roof terrace offers a good view point of the city and industrious staff there
Gym was a good to have on this level.
Date of stay: July 2024
Room Tip: Shopping centre next door it very good
Trip type: Travelled with family

Located next to Suria Mall, the go to place in Kota Kinabalu, spacious room with wide corridor, good sound proof and comfortable bed. Big room with a good buffet breakfast, definitely a hotel I will stay again when I'm in Kota Kinabalu! Kudos to the Grandis team!

Room tip: Always book in advance as the hotel is very high in demand

Had a deluxe with king, nice clean room. Couldn't ask for anything more. Friendly staff in all departments. Food was nice. Having a mall entrance door came in handy. All things being equal probably the best place I've stayed in kk. Will definitely return.

Clean, comfortable and modern. Was here for two nights and very pleased with the hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, bed very comfortable and the room was quiet. The breakfast was plentiful. Great location for walking to the night market and shopping malls, one which is connected to the hotel with numerous dining options. TV reception was marginal with limited channels.

Grandis Hotel is an excellent choice when visiting Kota Kinabalu, as it is located right in the city center and connected to the modern Suria Sabah Mall.

We enjoyed staying in this hotel as it is very centrally located, and walking distance to several attractions such as Gaya Street restaurants (Keng Wan Hing, Yu Kee Bah Kuet Teh, Restaurant Melanian, Yee Fung Laksa etc),  Philippines Market, Tokay seafood market, "I love KK" Instagram spot,  Wisma Merdeka shopping Mall etc.

They have a good restaurant that serves quite an extensive range of Asian and Western breakfast.

There is a rooftop bar with a swimming pool that has great sunset views in the evening around 630pm. The gym is also located on the rooftop floor.

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel, and can recommend this hotel highly.

Room tip: Access Suria Sabah Mall from 1st floor.
