This hotel is tidy and the rooms are a decent size. It’s centrally located. The rooms had wifi, water, basic tea/coffee facilities and a mini fridge. The air con worked well.

My only gripe with the location was that my room overlooked the park next door which seemed to have concerts on every night for Independence Day and it was quite loud. But with headphones it drowned it out. Definitely not the hotels fault though. The other thing is you can hear the constant “ding” of the elevator clear as day from the room as it goes up and down every floor day and night - perhaps this could be put on silent during certain hours?

Location. Just a walk away from Api Api Night Market and Gaya Sunday Market.

As usual no parking provided for guests.

The location is great, near to Sunday market, Night markets, shopping malls, eating & drinking places, central point to venture further to the rural places of interests, easily accessible etc etc etc

It’s a “bed & breakfast” thingy without “a full hotel service” orientation … the breakfast selections need to be a bit more creative … the housekeeping is ok but when you need a roll of toilet paper (due it ran out), a bit more urgency is needed from housekeeping 😅😂🤣😝😜🤪. Other than this, given a bit more time - any request or task is all’s well and great!

Hotel is located within walking distance to the city center like easy access to the weekend market at Gaya Street by foot. In short if you are not the lazy type who likes to explore places by foot then this place is ideal. The staff are very cooperative and helpful which happened to us. Really appreciate their kind assistance. Breakfast - oh! it offers bits of everything for all. No one should be complaining.

The empty small lane on left side of this hotel definitely needs some sprucing up job. It's dark, unsightly dirty and smells unpleasant. It certainly doesn't match up to the image for a clean hotel.

We stayed in Dreamtel hotel Kota Kinabalu for 7 day this November 23'. It was really pleasure to stay in very comfort and clean hotel with reasonable price at the heart of city. At first we have a issue about the room. We were attended by Ms. Atiqa a very professional and well mannered staff. She settled our problem. Changed our room. And the way she talk was very polite that make us to extend our staying. We've very happy to say that our stay at Dreamtel is one of the best for this year. Thank you booking.com.

Strategic location, good breakfast meal, friendly staff and clean room.

1. The light in the bathroom is very dim (need to be bright) 2. Some light is not functioning well (front light near clothes cabinet) 3. The bathroom (shower) main holes might be clog the water takes time to subside while bathing makes the floor wet/flood. 4. Aircond may need to service 😅, quite humid. Just my opinion 😊

I love this hotel. This was my second stay. It is simple and clean. Bed is comfortable and it's quiet so you get a good night's sleep. Unfortunately we didn't get a nice view this time around but it was still a great stay. Staff are courteous and helpful. Location is perfect for exploring all that Kota Kinabalu has to offer.

Great location, walking distance to Gaya Street, Todak Waterfront and Filipino Market. A little further by walking brings you to Jesselton Point for island hopping. Helpful and welcoming staff

No power sockets at bedsides like usual hotels do. Rooms are not soundproofed so you can hear the people outside or next door but tolerable. The shower enclosure is oddly shape so you cant bend down or move comfortably.

The property is clean and everything needed is sufficient. Staying there was very comfortable.

Would like to recommend to install smart TV instead where visitor can log into our own Netflix account and chill especially during rainy season since we spent most of our time staying at room only.
