Hotel Holiday Kota Kinabalu

There are tons of hotels in KK, you don't need to stay here. We booked this online as we were taking a night bus and were not arriving until after midnight - and true to their word there was someone there to check us in at midnight. We had chosen a more expensive room with a bathtub as we wanted to soak after our trekking...bathtubs do not exist in this hotel so don't get pulled in by the fake advertising. We were greeted into our room by a dead cockroach on the floor and woken in the morning by one climbing up the headrest of the bed... Wifi only works in reception just to top things off!! Take your money elsewhere, there is cleaner establishments for the same / cheaper!

In walking distance to bus terminal, to pier or Filipino market, near many cheap restaurants. We weren´t able to find a room smelling good, but it is problem of many hotels and hostels in the centre of KK. Friendly staff. Hot shower. We saw no insects.

Stayed at this hotel last night and when we got into the room the cockroaches started scampering for cover. I stomped on a few. I opened the fridge and found a live one inside. Then when I looked at the bed I found ants running around on the sheets. We had to sleep there for the night as nowhere else to go but found a new hotel in the morning. I looked under the bed and to my disgust I found a nappy stuck under the bed and empty chip packet. When I checked out I told the reason to the friendly staff of the place and she knew about the cockroach problem. She already knew why we were leaving. I would not let my worst enemy stay at this roach, ant, nappy infested dump of a hotel, take the warning. Geoff Australia
