Amazing hotel in a great location. Not a single thing wrong
Pros:

I’v just stayed in the Le Meridien in Kota Kinabalu for 4 weeks and wow, what a hotel. Perfect location with multiple food and drink options within a few minutes walk. The hotel is clean, modern and the rooms are lovely. The staff are always smiling and ready to help. The Club lounge on the 14th floor is brilliant, breakfast is available in the Club lounge which has slightly less choice than the main breakfast on the ground floor but it’s still sufficient. The Club lounge has the usual Marriott evening cocktail and food service from 5.30-7.30pm with plenty of choice and tasty food.
If you’re going to Kota Kinabalu then this is the perfect place to stay.

Highly Recommended Venue for Corporate Training
Pros:

We had a great experience hosting our training session at Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

The meeting room was comfortable and well prepared, and the food and coffee breaks were really good. The service from the team was smooth and very helpful throughout the programme.

Special thanks to Piyoku, the Sales Coordinator, for the great coordination, and to Fasihah from the Banquet team for always being attentive and supportive during the event. Their help truly made everything run smoothly.

Thank you to the Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu team for the excellent hospitality.

Exceptional hotel
Pros:

We had an outstanding 4 days in Le Meridian in KK. The level of service was exceptional especially in the club lounge. Huge thanks to Dean, Regina and Christiana who couldn’t have been more helpful, we enjoyed our daily chats with them. The sea views from the Club room and our bedroom on the 10th floor were fabulous so would recommend a seaview room eventhough more expensive. Really liked breakfast and evening drinks in the Club lounge too. Great location too. Special thanks to Rocky at the concierge desk, he helped us book trips and was always available with helpful tips. This is the place to stay in KK for sure.

Amazing stay in Kota Kinabalu - Le Meridian
Pros:

Lovely hotel in the centre of town with great views of the ocean , boats from the room and the club lounge. The staff were amazing and always made you feel welcome and nothing was a problem for them, like to thank Laurian John, Brain and Dean Cassidy from the Club lounge and Ivy . Amazing group of people. Also like to thank Suresh Ramasamy (GM of Le Meridian, Kota Kinabalu) who took the time to meet the guest share tips to enhance our holiday... We had a lovely 7 day stay at le Meriden and will be back with family and friends.

Thank you Le-Meridien
Pros:

We arrived late, 1:30am, very tired from a long flight. The young lady in front desk greeted us with a big smile. A kind smile that I am grateful for because she received us with such an understanding for our journey to get here. Heidi Annabelle was her name. I have been to many Marriott brand of hospitalities, thousands of night stays over the years, and she stands out as one of the best services I have received. She explained all the routines of hotel amenities and guided us with hotel surroundings (e.g. where to go for hikes, beaches, shops, seafoods, and including the Sunday Chinese market), and she gracefully handed us the room keys with upgrades to the ocean-view rooms. The two adjoining rooms were very spacious.
The next day we got up early for breakfast and went to the Marriott Lounge where we ate with the best costal view of the Kota Kinabalu. The staff who catered/served food and brought us the coffee gave us the comfort of being on vacation - a true vacation. Thank you Le-Meridian.

2025 Family Holiday Tour at Kota Kinabalu
Pros:

The hotel was strategically located in the city center, close to the waterfront, making it convenient for exploring. Got fantastic Sea-view room with spectacular views of the ocean and sunset. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Friendly staff and very helpful throughout our stay.

BEST personalised and luxury experience in Kota Kinabalu
Pros:

Five star service, location and rooms. The rooms are spacious, the property overlooks the waterfront and is very near the night market.

The buffet breakfast and dinner options at the secret recipe were many and the food tasty.

The exec lounge offers fantastic views of the waterfront and aircraft landing in KK airport.

But what marks the property are the people led by their General Manager Suresh Ramasamy, Brian, Regina and Rocky among others. Their smiles are genuine, the desire to please is earnest and they personify the Sabahan and Malaysian hospitality.

I could write a long review but let me just say that people make any hotel and in that, Le Meridien is the best.

The tours suggested helped us experience KK to the max.

Thank you Suresh and team for a great wonderful holiday experience.

No black out curtain
Pros:

Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu is in a strategic location, directly opposite the main seafood market and easy to reach by ride-hailing apps. The hotel was very crowded during the Christmas period, but the front desk handled check-ins efficiently and professionally.

The club lounge was well prepared and comfortable, and the Wi-Fi speed was excellent. There is no blackout curtain, so the room becomes quite bright in the early morning. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient stay.
