What a DEAL!! An incredibly nice, clean, centrally located modern hotel at such a low price - and that price included an all-you-can-eat Chinese breakfast buffet each morning. On-site gym and outdoor pool, on-site convenience store, on-site restaurant, shuttle service to the 3 major shopping malls, on-site laundry service, and a huge, well-furnished, well-kept hotel room with all the modern-day amenities I needed. I HIGHLY recommend the Ming Garden Hotel is/when you're visiting Kota Kinabalu.

Place was very accomodating... nice comfortable beds, great location. A frustrating stain on one of the seats, and a some spots appearing around the AC. Wasn't perfect but it had really good vibes, great people. I kept extending my stay in KK and consistently chose Ming.

I stayed here for a few nights and was unimpressed with the cleanliness of the hotel. There was some mould on the roof of my bedroom and bathroom, and the carpet was dirty. There were strange stains on the headboard of the bed. The breakfast service was quite untidy, with plates not well cleaned and surfaces unclean

Convenient. Air-cond temperature - Uncontrollable. Parking - Only free for one exit a day? Not friendly to guests. Dump site an eyesore when driving to the parking bay. Can be improved. Others were great - Staff are nice and polite

When we arrived we got a room which was very cold because of the AC and we couldn't change the temperature. We asked for a new room and had to wait till 1am. We arrived the hotel at 9:45pm. When we checked in, we also asked where we can find any dinner, and she said the restaurant was closed. When we came up to the room we realized there was room service and we actually could order food. But then we have already order food via grab.

Good value for money

Really good value for money. One major downside for an AM person as me is that both gym, pool and breakfast opens at 7am. Simply not possible to do it all if you have to be at a place at 8am :) So unfortunately I cannot rate the massive pool and the gym - but pool looks great Oldschoold hotel, but great beds, nice big rooms, clean. For a 4star hotel I would have loved a bit nicer shampoo and expected conditioner/bodylotion. Its tiny adjustments right, so overall good value for money.

Free parking only for one time in/out, after that will need to pay even when during the booking confirmation stated free parking. The internet very slow, TV not clear. Toilet shower need to be fix. The room not enough lighting especially the closet area.

連泊しましたが、部屋は快適でした。 私が泊まった部屋は冷蔵庫が、大きく使いやすかったです。 良くなかった点は、エクスペディアではランドリーがあると記載がありましたが、実際は無いといわれました。 また、繁華街からは離れているので、Grabを利用する方が良いと思います。旅慣れてる方は歩いてでも行けます。
