Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu has a great location, within walking distance to the waterfront, Gaya Street, and shopping malls. I’ve stayed here several times, and each visit has been as wonderful as the first. The hotel is kept in excellent condition, the staff greet us as if we’re coming home, and we intend to keep coming back.

The front desk team—Ricky, Malcolm, and Shirley—handled my booking, room assignment, and check-in efficiently. I’m always happy with the room they assign me; it’s clean, bright, and offers a nice view.

I spent a lot of time on the club floor, which provides a fantastic sunset view along with evening cocktails. Lauren, Regina, and Peter make excellent cocktails and always serve with a smile. They are readily available if you need anything from the lounge. Chef Daniel prepares delicious soups, especially the beef soup, chicken soup, and prawn soups. He always shows me the ingredients, which include carrots, onions, celery, and meat. (Is not a microwave instant soup)

Sometimes, I notice that my room is exceptionally clean, organized, and chill compared to other days. I found out that Norma goes above and beyond. She rearranges my charger cables, organizes my toiletries, and moves some of the unused hotel toiletries to maximize basin space. She adjusts the lighting and more. Her efforts make the room feel more comfortable and relaxing. It’s always refreshing to step into a room that feels so well cared for. Thank you, Norma!

I’ve dined at Favola several times and love the steak, especially with the new chef preparing it. The exterior may be burned, but it’s medium-rare inside. Personally, I prefer a stronger taste, and when I mentioned this while ordering, the result was excellent! The same goes for the tuna appetizer and the Bolognese pasta. Well done, Chef Awang and the steak chef!

Lastly, if you get to know Rizan and Rodney, two assets to Le Méridien, this hotel will always be your first choice for accommodation in Kota Kinabalu. Both of them are exceptional at making guests happy, ensuring you’ll want to return again and again.

The hotel is conveniently located in KK. We are currently staying in room 1408, which has a view of the city. The room is very spacious, with a comfy bed and a large sofa in the room. The bathroom is of a good size and the rain shower is very good. Plenty of amenities in the bathroom.

I really like how the hotel provides 2 large glass bottles of water each day, plus they have fresh water stations throughout the hotel.

Breakfast in the main restaurant has plenty of choice, too much to choose from. The only thing that is missing is a fresh fruit juice section.

The pool is a good place to relax, although the sun only gets onto the pool area around 12 noon.

As our room comes with lounge access, we have been having breakfast in there most days, although the selection is limited, compared with the main restaurant, it has everything that you need, plus lovely views out to sea. What makes the lounge outstanding is the staff. A special thank you goes to Regina, Laureanne, Peter, Daniel, Myrene and
Elvina. After just one day, they knew our preferences and always made sure we are well looked after. Between 5:30pm and 7:30pm the lounge offers a good range of food, Australian wines (2 x red and 2 x white), plus freshly made cocktails. The only things that is missing is prosecco and a good selection of cheese (something that my wife always looks out for). Outstanding sunset views as well.

All staff that we have come into contact with, are a credit to the hotel. We still have 2 days left and we are glad we chose Le Meridien KK.

From the moment we arrived, everyone was genuinely friendly and helpful. We feel right at home!
Doorman, security, front desk, kitchen, restaurant staff. Management did a superb job in maintaining their staff motivation at work🫡

Spotless clean room, good room amenities and superb sea view.

Breakfast choices are well thought to cater their international visitors.

Highly recommended hotel in Kota Kinabalu Sabah!
