When you tell the taxi driver that you wanna go Shangri-la Hotel in Kota Kinabalu, please be specific. There are 2 Shangri-las in KK. Shangri-la Tanjung Aru is the 'original' Shangri-la Hotel chain which is located near the sea side while Shangri-la Hotel Bandaran is located at the heart of Kota Kinabalu town.
As one of the Sabah’s first full service hotels, Hotel Shangri-la is renowned locally for its cosiness, comfort and convenience 3 star city hotel with 121 rooms. The latest upgrading work was completed March 2006. The rooms and corridors have been given a fresh look and so too the Lobby and the Bar. Behind the hotel, there’s a route to the hilltop where u can take a panoramic view of KK city and the nearby islands which is the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
It is a good solid hotel within easy walking distance of the main town, night markets and the recently developed waterfront region. The hotel itself is what you would expect from a mid-range hotel but importantly it was quiet, very clean and the breakfast was good. If there was a down side then it would probably be that the hotel is set back from a busy main road and bus stop. Although the noise can't be heard in the hotel it was a little precarious crossing the main road.
Guest on business trip can access internet with their free wifi in the room. I have no problem with the connection at all.
The nicely packed amenities kit
Verdict? definitely one of my favourite hotel in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
