Raia Hotel Kota Kinabalu (Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia)

There are two on-site eateries at this hotel, and those who chose to dine at Souq Garden found wonderfully prepared Halaal foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which were all highly affordable. Some of the favourites for most guests were the kebabs, grilled lamb and briyani.

You can be quite sure you will find beautifully-appointed rooms after you have successfully checked in. Guests said the furniture was found to be modern and the rooms were spacious and very comfortable, creating that home-away-from-home atmosphere.

Business travellers found this location perfect for their trips. The hotel is convenient to Downtown Kota Kinabalu as well as the airport. The staff will make sure you have everything you need for your meetings, and the Internet speed is excellent.

Although the rooms were really well-kept, guests found that the condition of the carpets had deteriorated to such an extent that they should be due for replacement. Carpets had been cleaned so many times that they were a little thread-bear, and not as top quality as the rest of the decor.

The city centre is a little too far for an easy walk, and many travellers were disappointed with the fact that they would have to use public transport to get there and back. It's more than a mile, so if you feel like you need a work-out, then try to summon up the courage to take the walk.

So far, no recent negative opinion has been expressed by guests about this hotel.
