Located in town city center gives an easy access to any places; for shopping, island hopping, eating and many more. Accommodation is good, the service is good, the food is good.

Classy, comfortable, homely

Recommendation:  by Ramadas Rao
 
Suitable for: Leisure, Families, Couples

The first thing that struck us was the cosy, comfortable feeling because of the space avaialable. Star hotels usually overwhelm us with luxury, but the room we were in was homely, spacious, adequate furniture without being overtly ostentatious. Just the right blend between class and comfort. Staff of course were courteous, but that is to be found in all hotels of this type. Also mostly we were outdoors, so did not have the opporutnity to ramble around the hotel and utiilise the various services offered. So, we cannot comment on these. Food: We were disappointed that breakfast was not included in the rate. Most of the Star hotels offer this attraction. Also we feel the hotel's charm will increse if Indian vegetarian menu is avaialble. Vegetariansim is growing and Indians have begun to travel much more than befroe and in larger numbers and maybe Meridien can be the firrst to tap this potential customer base with typically Indian culinary delights. All in all we would say a nice, pleasant stay in a very convenient location. Best wishes, Ramaas Rao/Mrs Vani Rao

Review of Hotel

Recommendation:  by Lalini Das
 
Suitable for: Business, Leisure, Romance, Families, Singles, Couples

My husband and I were extremely impressed by the size of the superior room and amenities provided. The room and bathroom was clean and well fitted out. Our room came with buffet breakfast for 2 and the food was pretty good as well. Staff were courteous and very accommodating. We liked the location as it was so central, and we also liked the market and stalls. It was so convenient to walk to most places because of Will definitely consider staying there again if we are in KK.

Recommendation:  by Choi Fung Mak
 
Suitable for: Business, Leisure, Families, Singles, Couples

The location of this hotel is great. Free shuttle bus stop to 1 Borneo is near the hotel. The staff is very courteous and helpful. The double rooms are comfortable and large. Good price of the buffet dinner. Overall, I would recommend staying at this hotel next time.

Excellent value for money

Recommendation:  by Ley Woolley
 
Suitable for: Business, Leisure

Excellent value for money. Location is convenient for all amenities. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food in the hotel is excellent and reasonable price. The size of the swimming pool is not proportionate to the number of rooms in relation to guests present. The open market and the untidy seafront with sewage smell in front of the hotel is unacceptable and is the only downside of the location of the hotel.

Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu

Recommendation:  by Rohana Asari
 
Suitable for: Business, Leisure, Families

My stay in Le Meridien has been a wonderful experience. Even my kids love it and wish to come back here again. The breakfast buffet were quite a spread. It's a pity never get to try out other buffet coz too busy with itenaries. Location is superb, nearby to night market and many shopping centres too. There's also a night market right next to the hotel. There's a free shuttle to Hypermall at 1 Borneo, how convenient. I will definetely come back to stay here if I ever come back to Kota Kinabalu. Cheers!

Suitable for: Business, Leisure, Romance, Couples

My stay in this hotel met my expectations. The studio room is comfortable and of an average size. The hotel location was however the main attraction of this hotel, as it was in the heart of the city. Overall, I would recommend staying at this for a few nights if you are willing to spend a few extra dollars for the convenient location.

Unbeatable location and excellent service

Recommendation:  by Kelly Stein
 
Suitable for: Business, Leisure, Romance, Families, Singles, Couples

The service at the Le Meridien was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. My party of 6 arrived at about 8:30am and we left our 10 bags in the care of Le Meridien and our valuables in their safe while we went to the Sunday market in Gaya Street. On our return in the early afternoon our three rooms were ready for us.

The next morning we left for a seven day tour in Sabbah and Le Meridien happily kept four bags for us {including one of fragile items} as well as valuables in a safe deposit box.

on our return to le Meridien all bags were delivered to our new rooms with little fuss.

Upon check-in second time round I handed them four of our 6 key cards from our first stay. This was so not a problem that it was not even commented on.

The buffet breakfast is the best I have ever seen. There was a vast range of choices, catering to most cultures and with half a dozen chefs cooking to order.

The one very small issue I had {which amused my children} is the hotel has its lifts at one end of the hotel rather than in the middle as is common. This meant that if your room was not sea facing and was on the south side you had a little walk to your room. Not a problem, although if you have a mobility issue you should ask for the north facing rooms which are right next to the lifts. My problem was that the corridors looked exactly alike and I kept going the wrong way between my room and the lifts.

The location of this hotel is the best of all the hotels in KK. It is across the road from the handicraft market {Philipino market} and a number of restaurants on the water front, including Port View Seafoods. Centrepoint mall is next door on the souithside {1 block back} and KK mall is a few minutes walk north of the hotel.

Great location

Recommendation:  by Mi Soo Kim
 
Suitable for: Leisure, Families, Couples

Location of this hotel is excellent, especially for families as there are shops all around it's very convenient.

The hotel staff were very courteous. When we checked in and did not like the location of the room and requested for a change, they very politely obliged and it made our stay very comfortable.

The housekeeping were very efficient and we got everything we asked for.

The only thing we were disappointed with was the cost for an extra bed. It was RM150 per night and we felt it was quite costly so we did not request for one.

On the whole, it's a great place to stay.

Was upgraded and given a room overlooking into the riverfront with no extra charge. Couldn't be happier with the change.

Housekeeping is great- Fresh clean bathroom & bed everyday.

Will definately look forward to staying there again.

Recommendation:  by cornelis koets
 
Suitable for: Business, Leisure, Singles, Couples

We found the ability to get independant tourist information from the hotel poorly. Allso we would have preferred a balcony with our room. For the rest the hotel is really perfect, beautifull and we certainly recommend it to others, value for money.

Suitable for: Business, Leisure, Singles, Couples

After a "not-so-perfect" check-in (got access to my room at 15:50 hrs whereas the hotel "officially" offers check-in at 14:00 hrs) the stay was very pleasant and I would probably stay at this hotel again. Ground floor staff/door staff/etc very courteous, helpful. Location great - probably the best "selling point" for this hotel. BBQ at the pool - great. Breakfast around average - spread is good, but at “slow speed” - e.g. 6 out of 7 hot dishes were empty/ran-out at the same time. My overall rating would be very good (..but not excellent)

For a "5 star" hotel the service was only average - we were not even shown to our room or assisted wit our bags! A good room, wonderful view.

Observation - security aspect need tightening - e.g a sign on each floor indicating that the floor is being monitored by a hidden camera. This would boost the level of assurance for any tourist. How about throwing in breakfast for internet bookings? How about getting the boys to quickly educate visitors what the room offers ? I just couldn't find the switch to off the closet light !!
