The hotel room was perfect. The shower was really good, the pool was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. We weren’t very far from the airport and there were plenty of places to eat nearby. It was easy to get to other major places and for all tourist trips this hotel was one of the pickups. A good choice for us.
A good choice for an overnight stay with all the facilities you'd expect from this hotel. Good location just away from the port but within walking distance of bars/restaurants on the front. The infinity pool was lovely overlooking the islands - however there was limited pool furniture and only 3 parasols which was an issue. We enjoyed cocktails on the rooftop terrace watching the sunset. Pity this isn't open during the day as the food offered would have been most welcome for lunch. Staff were lovely and reactive.
Excellent five star hotel with modern rooms with all the amenities and a cloud like bed. Great restaurants, rooftop bar, 8th floor pool, all overlooking the South China Sea with many waterfront dining options and markets within easy walking distance.
Huge rooms and very comfortsble, with great views to the ocean. Check in , concierge, pool and retaurant staff were wonderful. Swimming pool was great. Would highly recomend.
Fantastic place to stay.easy access to town.markets.islands.and day trips.
Fantastic service .happy hotel lovely staff.
15th floor sunset views.
Next to water front.. 10/10
The staff were super friendly and very attentive. The breakfast food was very delicious. The sitting area around the people is limited, and many children share the pool.
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was clean, well-maintained, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay.
The standout feature was the stunning pool with an amazing view—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The location was also ideal, making it easy to explore the area. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway!
Comfortable and spacious room. Beautiful shower. Breakfast buffet had plenty of options. The pool got a bit noisy with tourists constantly snapping instagram photos over the infinity pool but good location overall and I would stay again.
Probably one of the best located hotels in the centre of KK.
Perfect views from the rear of the hotel.
Good facilities but some of the furniture was a bit worn.
Car parking was good but in a disused part of the complex.
After an extremely long two days of flying, the first hotel messed up my booking. I went over to the Marriott and they instantly helped me, were extremely kind. They have an excellent restaurant, pool and gym that I enjoyed.

Best executive lounge staff in Kota Kinabalu!
Marriott has had its best days even the it is starred still as 5. Fortunately we had booked a room with executive lounge access and it was the highlight of the stay as Mr. Nigel Wong and Ms. Felicia took care of us during our 5 days of spending in the hotel. They made us felt more than welcome and shared some good tips what to do in Kota Kinabalu. Also, the exec.lounge had the best view to the sea and beautiful sunsets.
