Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu

Ben Johari

One of the best Marriot Group hotel in Borneo. Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu was a truly enjoyable experience, combining comfort, hospitality, and a stunning seaside atmosphere. The hotel’s location is ideal — right in the heart of the city and just across from the Philippines Market and waterfront, offering beautiful sunset views over the South China Sea. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were professional, friendly, and always willing to help with local recommendations. The room was amazingly spacious, clean, and tastefully designed, with modern amenities and a comfortable bed that made for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the complimentary bottled water and quality toiletries. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, featuring a wide variety of international and local dishes, all fresh and well-prepared. The pool area and fitness centre were well-maintained, offering a great place to unwind after a day exploring the city or nearby islands. Overall, Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu provided a perfect balance of luxury and local charm. Whether for business or leisure, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sabah — it delivers excellent service, convenience, and memorable hospitality.

My first stay in Le Meridien and I was blown away by the physical features and the service. We stay there 3 nights in total over two legs Special mention to Reazy (hope I got her name right) who served me when we checked in and out on our first leg. She was professional and warm! She had some good recommendations on food and was lovely to interact with. Compliments to Malcolm who welcomed us back when we return for our third night stay. We were given a complimentary upgrade to a Sea view king room. We were so thankful as we could see then beautiful sea and sunset. The rooms were very spacious and posh looking. The breakfast was great and offered variety. The location is the best!! We would want to be back one day!

We had a fantastic stay at the Le Meridien KK. Its location opposite the waterfront is what we definitely wanted. Not only does the hotel offer great views of the city and waterfront but tremendous views of planes on their final approach to KK. A winner for us especially from the Club Lounge and rooftop bar. The rooms and facilities were great and the food for breakfast had everything you could want. Both western and Asian food was available and the staff looked after you really well. We were lucky to have a club room and had an amazing time in the Club lounge. The staff were professional, friendly and welcoming which made our stay even better. We would like to thank Nizar, Regina, Christiana, Angela, Laurian, Reazie and Malcolm for their hospitality and excellent customer service. To Rizan thank you for helping us when our flights were canceled and we had to reschedule for another day. Meeting you and Suresh your GM, was a pleasure. Please thank Nova at reception for sorting out our rescheduling. We celebrated a special birthday at Favola and had a wonderful dinner together. The food was great and the service felt like we were family. We recommend anyone having a special occasion to come celebrate at this restaurant. The staff here definitely made our stay memorable.

We had a good stay, room interior is modern although the ceiling height specially along hallway is quite low that you can literally touch if your height is 5'8 and above. Room is clean as well and staffs are accommodating and friendly. Location is a bit subjective but as for me, I don't like the view as it is fronting the market place but all other seafood restaurants, bars, and other stuffs are just a walk away so it's a bit of compromise between good view and convenience.

I had a pleasant stay at Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the service throughout my stay was very good. However, I noticed that the drinking water from the water dispenser at the ballroom tasted unusual, and a few people even experienced sore throats after consuming it. I sincerely hope the hotel will look into this matter and take the necessary action, perhaps by servicing or replacing the dispenser. Overall, despite this issue, my experience at the hotel was enjoyable.
