Hyatt Kinabalu: KK's best value    Check Rates

    • We stayed on a concierge floor which is one of the top two floors. We booked direct with the hotel via the internet since it is not available to booking agents or travel agents.
    We had great sea views, but the best part is the free breakfast and "drinkies" between 5 and 7 p.m.
    For US $70 a night, about US $10 more than a run of the house I think it's a steal.
    The staff are attentive and friendly, and the hotel is within easy walking distance of shopping malls, restaurants and the main market.
    We had one night at the Sutera, which is beautiful, but for convenience the Hyatt is hard to beat.

    Convenient to everything in KK, helpful staff throughout.

    Hyatt Kinabalu: First 5 star hotel in KK    Check Rates

    • Opened in the late 1970s by the then education minister and subsequent dictator of Malaysia - Mahathir Mohammad (ok, so I'm no fan of the man...) Hyatt Hotel enjoys a very good location indeed, and is the hotel of choice of many airlines. Rooms are as you expect of a class establishment but it's more 'business' than 'tourist' in its lookout. Plans were made to expand it but if you ever go there, you'll see why it's impossible unless they build underground or add more floors above.

    Location-wise, it's right next to Wisma Merdeka, and overlooks Gaya Island. The ferry is a short stroll away and the famous (must be seen spot) Shenanigans pub located by the side of the hotel actually belongs to Hyatt itself.

    • I would recommend this hotel because is well located and the service is superb and very professional. I asked for a room facing the sea and I had the chance to take magnificent photos, especially at sunset.

    I liked the swimming pool, it is a very quite place where you can relax, look at the sea and feel that you are having really holidays.

    Right in front of the hotel you can have a drink and still admire the South China Sea.

    If you like Malaysian, Chinese or Indian food you can find all of them next to the hotel. And if you can not live without KFC there is one right in the corner.

    For those who hate sweating when you leave the hotel's main door just walk a few steps and you enter one of KK's best shopping centers.

  • Directions: Close to Jalan Gaya (Gaya Street). Every Sunday morning (only in the morning) there is a market all long the way (Gaya Street), don't miss it and try to go there early morning. You can try and eat so many local delicacies. Just wonderful.

    • Hyatt Regency Kinabalu is located in the heart of the city of Kota Kinabalu, facing the South China Sea. The hotel is 15 minutes from Kota Kinabalu International Airport, and located within the busy and lively section of the city. The inside of the hotel is large and there are entertainment areas and lounges that will cater to your social needs. The services was friendly and professional.

    The last time I stayed there, there was a live band playing updated pop songs and oldies as well. During the day, I could walk to the shopping mall and wet and fish markets to see the local scenes. In the evenings, I could also walk to the night markets to see the local food stalls and enjoy the night life.

    I used to stay in the Sea View Twin room, and it provided spectacular views of the South China Sea and islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. It is a spacious 42 sq.-meter room offering private balcony and two twin beds with plush duvet covers. Soothing decor decorated with local artwork and handicrafts complements the deluxe amenities, including marble bath, coffee and tea service, writing desk and broadband Internet access.

    • I am very impressed by the Hotel's staff because they are all very accommodating. I requested the Sea View King and they give it to me. It's so nice and comfortable to stay in this Hotel. It's also at the hub of KK

    Since it is in the Hub, it's just walking distance to almost everything from sights to see to places to eat to gift shops. The facitilies are also nice. I can't say much about this hotel.

    What can I say, this was a class hotel with a service to go with it. I would have happily stayed here for the whole of our trip.

    Excellent food with three distinctive restaurants, one of these has themed nights where they experiment with foods of the world. We had a lovely meal in here on their Mexican night which was of a high standard and although more expensive than local restaurants still reasonable by european standards. I would however give breakfast a miss as it wasn't particularly interesting and if you can hang on to 10 am you can go the the shopping mall next door which has a reasonable food hall doing local dishes for a fraction of the price.

    This hotel is a good choice as it has all the usual 4-star hotel amenities and a great location (seaside but no private beach, downtown KK) for a lower price than other popular KK hotels (i.e. Pacific Sutera, Shangri-La). However, the hotel pool is much smaller than Pacific Sutera or Shangri-La. Because the hotel pool is adjacent to a major road, lounging by the pool for a nap or reading wasn't that nice. Also, if you want to take a boat to the nearby islands, you'll need to walk 15 minutes to the local pier or take a taxi to Pacific Sutera (RM 10) or Shangri-La (RM 15) to use the jetties there. Other than that, the hotel is a great value. OK breakfast buffet with many Malay/Chinese choices but not so much western choices.

    Conveniently located next to a big shopping complex. Wednesday night is Malay buffet night (RM 49).

    I stayed there for a night during my short trip to KK last July 06. Not a please experience! I had a late check it at around 9pm. I booked King size bed rooms, and the receptionist told me all fully taken. What for is my booking then? Instead, they offered me twin beds room. No choice, i have to take it.

    Came to the room and it can't give me a feel that it is "star" rated hotel. Things are old, eg furniture, cabinet, etc. This reminded me on the high price that i paid, RM3xx per night. Not worth it.

    Location wise, it is good. We walked to Jesselton point (departure point to marine park) and it takes only 8 minutes. Furthermore, it is very near to Sunday market (

    The stay here was pleasant - remember to ask for a room with a FULL sea view if possible - with all the usual amenities and clean toilets. The pool was clean at 8am when I went in but by 9am, the cleaner came around to clean the bushes, and bugs fell into the pool! Yikes! I left promptly.

    The food in Hyatt is expensive and awful. Please don't eat here. I will post some food tips so check those out instead :)

    This is one of the best hotels in KK. It's close to the sea, so if you want to go island-hopping, it's convenient to get a boat ride nearby, not to mention the many restaurants by the sea are closeby as well. For the best views of the sea, take floors 1-4, with sea view.
