The hotel is in an excellent location - right in the heart of town. So it is very convenient for eating and shopping and travelling to outlaying areas. It is a new hotel - opened only in 2011. The room is of good size, clean and nice. The air-con and water heater are in good working condition. Breakfast is very... More

My husband and I have just returned from Kota Kinabalu in Sabah. We stayed at the Gaya Centre Hotel which was very central. The staff were excellent, so friendly and helpful. The downside of this hotel was the condition of the carpet in the room. It was very badly stained, as was the upholstery on the furniture. The mould in... More

Checked into the hotel and was immediately put off by the fact that I could not upgrade my room by paying the price difference of the rooms instead I was told that it was hotel policy to charge a minimum of $150.

We were on the 3rd floor and the room was well insulated against the outdoor noise. The hotel is well located at the end of Kota Kinabalu seaside walk, right next to... More

We stayed on the 12th floor in a deluxe room for 7 nights. Check in and check out were very efficient with friendly staff. We had a great view looking out to the stilted fishing village. The rooms were just as pictured and kept very clean. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we had in the two months... More
