1 Borneo Hotel @ Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

We checked into the 1 Borneo Hotel (formerly known as Novotel Kota Kinabalu Hotel under management of Accor and now changed to Klagan Regency) when we reached Kota Kinabalu. We tried to find the hotel parking but to our dismay it didn’t have any allocation for inhouse guests. We have to park our car at the limited parking lot outside the hotel. Hotel is adjacent to 1Borneo shopping mall, unfortunately there is nothing much to shop about.


Located quite far from the city and about 30mins from the airport, the location is not really great for leisure or business trip.

The bathroom – fret not for the see-through window as you can put down the blind anytime if you don’t want to be seen ^__*

The swimming pool area with both adult and kid pool look good however the maintenance of the pool need to be improved though.

Breakfast was at the Square Restaurant, the variety isn’t much with limited choices of local and western cuisine such as typical sausage, eggs, baked beans, nasi lemak, porridge, cereals, bread and pastries.

Other facilities such as computers corner and family/kid’s play room available at the lobby area.

 

Verdict: A really average hotel in my book, will consider a more convenient location for my net KK trip.
