"I like this hotel very much. The room is spacious for the 2 of us. The beds, room and corridors are clean. The hotel is still being upgrading but we are not affected in anyway. The upgrading has improved the ambience. Buffet breakfast is also good. The location is so convenient for walking to Imago mall and the waterfront. But it’s really too hot for walking. So Grab is cooler!! Also the staff at front desk is so helpful and polite. Recommended 👍"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kampung Sembulan?
The best area to stay in Kampung Sembulan is along the waterfront, particularly near the Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal and the Kota Kinabalu city center.

This area is the primary gateway to the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park islands and offers a convenient base for exploring the city. You'll find a concentration of hotels, restaurants, and shops, with easy access to the waterfront promenade and the bustling Gaya Street Sunday Market. The area around Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens is particularly central.

For couples, staying near the waterfront provides easy access to island hopping excursions and romantic sunset views over the South China Sea. The many waterfront dining options also offer a pleasant setting for evening meals.

Families will appreciate the convenience of being close to the ferry terminal for day trips to the nearby islands, which offer beaches and snorkeling.
When is the best time to go to Kampung Sembulan?
The best time to go to Kampung Sembulan is during the dry season, which typically runs from March to October.

During these months, you'll experience sunny days and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the area and enjoying outdoor activities. This period avoids the heavier rainfall of the monsoon season, ensuring more consistent good weather for sightseeing and beach visits.

For travelers interested in water activities like island hopping or snorkeling, the dry season offers calmer seas and clearer visibility.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
