I would say Ming Garden Hotel is a pretty old building given that the facade is a little more run down compared to other hotels BUT I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the hotel room and how comfortable my stay was. We were given a room on the highest floor but unfortunately one without a view. The bed was comfortable and large and the bathroom spacious as well. The only downside was the water pressure wasn’t strong enough and the room wasn’t as clean as I would have liked. The bathroom could do with some heavy scrubbing and vacuuming along the hotel corridors too. Parking was bit of a hassle with limited space and costing us RM 5/entry save for the first entry. However, due to the location and the comfort level of the rooms, it’s still a recommended stay for travelers who are on a budget. #2023TravelWish

#kotakinabaluguide My recent trip to Kota Kinabalu was a wonderful mix of local charm, vibrant food, and relaxing city views. I stayed at Ming Garden Hotel, which offered a comfortable stay and a lovely view of the developing KK Sentral area. From my room, I could see the cityscape coming to life with ongoing construction and traffic moving steadily along the main roads, all against a calming coastal backdrop. One of the culinary highlights of my trip was dining at Kopi Ping Restaurant. The atmosphere there was cozy and festive decorated with lights and cultural ornaments, giving off a warm, inviting vibe. The interior combined a nostalgic Malaysian coffee shop feel with modern touches. The neon red "福" sign on the wall was a nice touch, adding to the charm. I also stopped by Sushi King, a reliable favorite. The meal was both satisfying and visually appealing. I had grilled fish, a couple of pasta-style sushi dishes, seaweed salad, miso soup, and a bowl of rice. The service was quick, and the flavors were consistent with what you’d expect from this well-known chain,perfect for a casual, no-fuss Japanese meal.#travel #localfood #staycation #sabah Overall, Kota Kinabalu is a great place for a short getaway. It’s a blend of modern convenience and cultural heritage, with plenty of good food and relaxing views to enjoy. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back!

Love it.. nice

We love stay here

Day and night view, comparing the windows on both sides of the hotel room. I like it. Although it is not on the sea, I like the view of the city. On the other side, there is a river view. It is very comfortable to the eyes at night.

stay at Ming Garden Hotel at Kota Kinabalu Sabah. It is near Imago mall and town area. Can go to Imago mall with walking distance. Room are neat and clean. I like their curtain which I can sleep well at night because no light can come in at all.

Simple life

I disappointed with trip this time I book riverview but what I got is city views when I check in at the hotel . When I ask trip agent they said they are the one that wrongly advertised it on the apps . But for Ming garden hotel room it is spacious and very comfortable to stay ,
