Free shuttle to airport

Newish hotel with restaurant but not much nearby apart from the beach. The restaurant offered little choice for dinner but breakfast was eggs, baked beans and toast. The shower was good but there could have been more storage space in the bathroom. There was a balcony but it was of little use. The mattress on the bed squeaked every time someone moved. The good thing was the free shuttle to the airport in the morning which was the main reason I booked the hotel.

Not a brandnew hotel. Seriously this hotel needs a MAJOR renovation to sustain. Room is big with fair cleanliness and facility. Breakfast was provided eventhough it was not a buffet.

Review of Casaurina Hotel, Kota Kinabalu

Stayed 2 nights on different dates as part of my holiday. Found this hotel to be clean, comfortable for a 3Star. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. It has a small balcony too. The staff are friendly. Location wise, it’s close to the airport and also a beach which is less than 5 mins walking distance from the hotel. They even have complimentary shuttle service to the airport. Overall, I liked staying here and will degenerate chhose this lace on my next visit

위치적절

공항에서 택시타고 10분 내의 거리였고 탄중아루 선셋바에서도 택시로 5분정도의 거리였다. 위치에서 맘에 들었고 방은 숙박만 하기엔 아주 적합, 시티에선 조금 거리가 있다

곰팡이 냄새나는 에어컨, 고장난 객실 잠금장치, 2개 이상 동작하지 않는 객실등, 많이 녹슬어있는 화장실, 눅눅한 침구세트. 단지 탄중아루 해변과 가깝다는 것이 이득.

ビーチに近く、二つの公園とゴルフ場に隣接しています。朝の公園の散歩ができ、南シナ海に沈む夕日の眺望を楽しめます。２００メートル先に屋台村があり、５００メートル先にセブンイレブンがあります。部屋は快適です。朝食は、ブリティッシュ・ブレックファーストで、野菜や果物はありません。フロントは、観光パンフレットもなく、ツアーのアテンドもありません。

the wrost in Kota kinabalu

When we got into room 106, there was a pair of shoes on the floor and a full bag of garbage. The towels were dirty with brown stains. I brought down the garbage and asked for a room change. So our new room 111, there was no garbage towels were still dirty. Overall, the place is Moldy and dirty, extremely different from the pictures online (that is probably when it first built). It suppose to be a two night stay, but we can't stay for another uncomfortabl night so I asked for refund for the second night.
