The Shore Kota Kinabalu by Ariana

Staff very friendly, really appreciate that. Sea view not vad

Small cocoroaches EVERYWHERE! We killed more than 10. Scary and disgusting.

Ariana was simply the best and kindest host ever.She let me stay on when my flight was delayed,no charge. Her home was simply. Immaculate and I was so sad to leave. If I could give triple. 5 stars I would! Thank you Ariana

Nothing, it was perfect

Super comfortable bed Large airy space Great location Great pool Quiet

The bed is very comfortable

Central location, clean apartment with expected facilities. Great communication with the host, she was very friendly.

Ants found in the bathroom, but dealt with using the bug spray provided.

Its clean..comfy..and feel like home..

Very clean & nice..

Great location and nice sea view. Owner responded right away so communication was easy.

The bathroom smelled a bit moldy but it was nothing major.

Excellent flat facilities - fridge, microwave, washing machine, drinking water sanitising machine (boiling and chilled water). Large spacious rooms, nice view (15th floor). Convenient location right in the city centre. Very helpful and competent residence staff (thank you for your help in ordering the transfers).

Lovely apartment on 15th floor, such a comfortable bed and pillows. The apartment was a little home from home for us as we’ve been travelling for 5 months staying in hotels. It was lovely to have space, a separate bedroom and a living room with a TV with Netflix! An iron, washing machine and a great hot and cold water dispenser. It has a lovely seaview and small balcony to sit out on and watch the world go by. The location is perfect for seeing the sights In KK, right opposite the Philipino market and waterfront and a 15 minute walk to Jesselton Quay for catching a boat to the TARP Islands. The mosque and Tanjung Aru beach are a cheap grab cab drive away reachable by cab in less than 10 mins, so everything is accessible. Lovely pool area although we didn’t use it during our weeks stay as we were out and about a lot. Great WiFi and air conditioning. Easy instructions for self check In. Highly recommend

Just a suggestion for improvement I’d say is to supply a toaster and or a small hob to boil or fry on for making breakfast, this would have been useful.

This is a one unit in a big building of "serviced suites." Judging by the lobby traffic, I suspect almost every one of the units is listed on this site or some other similar site. The central location is perfect for a short term visit to Kota Kinabalu. The room included a nice "manual" and we enjoyed one of the recommended restaurants quite a lot. The room was well-equipped, and I was happy to find some laundry soap, as well! The pool is pretty good.

The bathroom was pretty stinky. Honestly, though, I suspect every unit in this building. I'm not sure any s-pipes were used in the construction, so gasses are probably bubbling up all over.

I liked the view from the bedroom! Also super comfy bed and it helped that I had a water dispenser. Massive TV and also nice desk for work Ariana’s crew was great , super available!

It was great , only regret is that I didn’t try the pool as it looked good

Everything was awesome

Few things, But I gave feedback to the host directly and Im sure she will fix those

Bed was super comfy, lovely view of the ocean, very clean with all the facilities needed. Felt like a home away from home! Ariana was quick to respond to messages. The location is great, a very central location between the jetty end of town and the waterfront restaurants and bars. Highly recommend!

the location

Take time waiting for lift

Fantastic location, and the flat is really comfortable. Bed is very comfy, everything very clean, and the sea view is beautiful. If I'm in KK again, we'll stay here

I really liked the location, the view, the comfort. Aircon excellent and cold water on tap. The TV had many options too.

No glasses

Nice, modern apartment with little terrace and sea view. Ariana was super flexible, letting us checkin earlier than usual.

Superb strategic location! Walking distance to almost every attractions. Waterfront, philipino market, fish market etc. Driving diatance to jesselton point, gaya street. Woke up with a beautiful ocean view during our stay. Bed is very comfortable, water dispenser is provided. Everything is well equiped! We really enjoy our stay here and will definitely choose to stay here again if we ever visit kk in future!.

The only con is that we have to pay for the parking :(

Amazing pool, close to Jesselton Ferry and restaurants

Spacious, in a nice location, with view over the see. Comfortable area with a small kitchen (no stove) and water. The fridge does need defrosting but other than that more amenities than you will find in a hotel room, especially for this price. Self check-in is very convenient.

Fridge needs defrosting.

Everything, host was very responsive and could not fault them. Place was as described. Will stay again next time

Nothing. All good

The apartment is clean and cozy with a balcony and a good view over the sea. The owner also prepared a list of recommendations to do/eat/drink in the area. The area is near to jesselton quay, a 15mins walk away if u are diving.

The room's powerpoints were positioned weirdly such that i had to charge my stuff on the floor. But its not that big of an issue

Location and easy to check in/check out. Washing machine and microwave provided. Quite nice apartment.

Toilet a bit smelly. Futon mattress for 3rd person is too thin. Should change a thicker folded mattress.

The price and the location

Have to pay for the parking.

Very clean rooms with complete utensils and appliances that you need. The location is perfect

Nothing

New building, good location

It's 80% complete, some noise from the drilling work during day and noise from approach landing aircraft in the evening

Very good location. Sea view. Unit is very new and clean. Simple but all necessities are provided especially the water dispenser. We like the unit's door lock system - no need to carry keys all the time, just use passcode. Easy to check-in (unlike some other serviced apartments which give many instructions & direction from parking to collecting keys and finding the unit). Host is polite and replies messages promptly. Host is very thoughtful for preparing a green manual file. It has all details about wifi passwords, emergency contact no., instructions on how to use some of the things in the unit - so don't be lazy to flip through, it just takes 3-4 minutes. No need to bug the host every now and then asking for passwords and swimming pool etc.

We understand it's a new place so we do expect to see some work still in progress (for e.g. parking entry system, not all lifts fully function, some construction work going on) but that didn't affect us much though.

when I wake up in the morning, I open the balcony and see a beautiful view.. a very beautiful view
