2-Star Hotels in Sabah, Malaysia

Nice place, clean and safe in a good location, although the street is busy during the day it is not loud. The staff was friendly and always available,easily booked trips to the islands and Shuttle to the airport. Great value for money,would stay again.

We were shocked and surprised when we arrived Ellys Home on 9 April. There is a Malay staff waiting for us at the entrance and he informed us our stay is changed to Paly Hotel (just next to Ellys Home). The staff passed us a call from the owner of Ellys Home. She said it is Trip.com error that the website still allow and confirm the booking even the Ellys Home is already fully booked. Therefore, she arranged for us the replacement at Paly Hotel. Generally, Paly Hotel is good. However, it is better to update the travelers in advance for any changes (instead of informing only on that day on the spot). We have no choice to accept the change and this caused inconvenience to update our travel agency in last minute. For this reason, I will not recommend others to make bookings via Trip.com.

For the budget traveler this hotel is more than enough. They provide sea view from balcony and the capsule is not big and not small. Plus point they have lift so if you bring a luggage you'll be fine. They also provide women only room and locker for your luggage. The staff are so funny and helpful too you'll feel less lonely haha. I meet and talk to other soloist, very nice experience. The thing that you may notice they don't provide breakfast and you can't cook here. So be prepared to bring your own meals. Oh there is a washing machine inside but you need to pay for 8 pieces

Had a comfortable stay! The room was clean, staff were friendly, and location was convenient. Check-in/check-out was smooth, and amenities met expectations. Great value for the price. Only minor issue was slow Wi-Fi. Would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit. Thanks for the hospitality!

The hotel room was clean. Amenities provided are shampoo and body soap. The location from the town area is quite central. It's easy to park a car, not a busy road. It's located at the back of Plaza Shell. A water dispenser is the only thing missing from the hotel, so next time when you want to stay, make sure to buy one drinking water for yourself. Anyway there are convenience stores nearby the hotel.

Switz Paradise Hotel is a budget-friendly stay located conveniently in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, making it ideal for travelers who want quick access to malls, eateries, and local attractions like the waterfront and Gaya Street Market. The rooms are basic but functional, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms—suitable for short stays. While the location is a plus, some guests note issues like city noise at night, limited soundproofing, and modest cleanliness. Overall, it’s a good option for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location over luxury.

The facilities are old, but it's OK for a short stay. There are a lot of birds outside, so be careful of bird droppings. You can't eat in the room, but you have to eat in the lounge, which requires a deposit of MRY100.

My favourite place to stay everytime visit Kota Kinabalu city very reasonable price with good facilities. Nearby shopping mall restaurant and laundry. Most important the service very good and the reception very helpful.

The only reason I stayed here was because of it location near to the airport. Everything else is good in terms of experience except I was imposed with liability costing RM10 for soiling one piece of their towel. The soiling happened because I walked outside after the rain and my foot got into a mud spot. I came back to my room and I accidentally stepped on the towel. Bear in mind, I had to book their largest room meant for 4 pax because that was the only one available even though I stayed alone. Considering the occupancy is low for that large room, soiling one piece of towel does not justify a RM10 liability damage.

The boss is very nice, close to the sea, the bed is clean and hygienic, the price is cheap, it is recommended for single people
