Jesselton Hotel

Kota Kinabalu

On a corner of historic Gaya Street in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, the Jesselton provides a comfortable and convenient base from which to explore Sabah's state capital. It's a little kitsch around the edges, but has old-school charm.

The rooms feel welcoming and low-key, with traditional decor and a few modern touches. The onsite facilities are few, but there are cosy corners, and a restaurant that's especially handy for families in search of simple, reliable dining.

Leisure: lounge, piano, restaurant

Rooms: 44 rooms
