We recently stayed for around 7 nights off and on at Hotel Holiday in Kota Kinabalu in Sabah during our 3 week trip to sabah and northern Sarawak. This is rated as a budget hotel, and is certainly that. We stayed in one of their family rooms for RM90 a night (four off us). The rooms are clean, the bathrooms are reasonable, have hot water, and have a bath tub and western style toilet.
What really is the best part about the place is the staff at reception who were warm, friendly, helpful, and honest. They were the best! They were great with our 2 kids, 7 & 9. Helped us with our Malaysian too!
the location is central and handy in Segama, a block from the Hyatt. Mini buses across the road, supermarket across the road, next to the post office, 7 minute walk to the ferries to TAR park.
You may not think the bathroom tiling is fabulous, but Mrs Wah and Asran and the girls are what makes the place a home away from home in Sabah. Travel guides need to include this place!
