"Booked for Queen Bed Room at ground floor for RM239 (before discount). Few times stay at Rose Cabin since 2004. But this time too much difference...a bit run down. It's over priced for the facilities provided. Even spacious room, but no TV, no fan (so stuffy), toilet inside the room with no toiletries, bathroom (hot shower) is outside of the room at the veranda (no privacy) with very little all in one shampoo. Nothing much to do here. Check in/out counter only open from 8am till 8pm. After that...

The room (104) was very good although there are a few ants around (so make sure not to leave food around). Bed, shower and toilet were nice and clean. Internet worked quite well (not guaranteed in this area). Our best place in Sabah so far (out of 6 good hotels)."

Sutera Sanctuary Lodges at Kinabalu Park

Sutera Sanctuary Lodges at Kinabalu Park

10/10 Excellent
"Friendly staff and the suite was great. You're located directly inside the Kinabalu National Park in Kundasang. We were specifically in one of the Nepenthes Suites which I can say was very nice (one of the King Bed suites). It was roomie, included full bathroom with a shower and hot water, a mini fridge, a sink with a facet for drinkable water, a smart tv (not huge), and a fire place. Entry into the park was 50 ringgit for foreigners, and 10 ringgit for locals. This is a per person/ per entry fee unless you're staying inside the park like we were, in which case the fee lasts 3 days. *If you're staying in the park you can leave the park and come back during these 3 days and you should be able to just show the person at the gate your initial ticket - we did have some confusion where the person at the gate thought we had to pay again, but the people at the front desk were able to confirm the tickets are good for 3 days and they got our second payment returned to us. Our stay also included a breakfast service each morning from the restaurant in the park which was nice (a very short walk from our suite), and they also offered room service from the same restaurant. Room service obviously wasn't included, but there wasn't a service fee or anything apart from the cost of the meals which was also nice coming from the US. Over all my wife and I really enjoyed the stay and I felt it was great value."

What is the difference between a 4-star and 3-star hotel in Kota Belud?
The main difference between a 3- and 4-star hotel in Kota Belud will be the level of service and access to creature comforts. Three-star hotels are usually more economical and come with the services and amenities you need to be comfortable, such as WiFi, breakfast and a gym. You can count on a bit more at a 4-star hotel — think upmarket décor, premium toiletries and extra touches like spa and wellness centres.
What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Kota Belud?
A motel is an excellent choice if you're planning to road-trip around Kota Belud. These properties are typically located close to highways and airports, offer ample parking and come with basic services and amenities. Spend your break at a 3-star hotel and you'll be more centrally located. With a wider range of rooms and welcome amenities like a gym, lobby and conference rooms, you can expect to pay more for hotel accommodation.
