We stayed here so that we were close to the airport where we were dropping off our car and flying home from. The room was clean and it was a very short walk to the ocean and a beautiful beach. We had a small balcony as well.

Escaped from a horrid hotel to find a clean & comfy hotel is enough for me. Newly renovated lobby & situated in a quiet & private area which helps me to fall asleep. Walking distance to Tg Aru beach for a romantic sunset walk & do try the avocado juice at the fruit juice stalls. They're very delish! Rooms have... More

We just wanted a hotel close to the airport to get some sleep after arriving in the early hours. The hotel is very close to the low cost carriers terminal (still got charged MYR38 for an airport taxi but couldn't find any normal taxi's). There was someone to check us in despite the early hour. Downstairs has been renovated and... More

On arrival we were met by a friendly receptionist, always a good start. Our room was on the fourth floor and had a small balcony facing south across trees and fields with mountains to the east and the beach and sea to the west, although these are mostly hidden behind the trees. The hotel has free transport to the town... More

Heres a straight forward review on this hotel. Casuarina Hotel Kota Kinabalu is quite an old hotel BUT a well-maintained hotel. Its not that old old old hotel but its the best reasonably priced hotel that is very near Tanjung Aru beach (or sometimes called as the First Beach). You can go to the beach by a mere 5-minute walk.... More

After making an error in my hotel booking, I was left stranded in kota kinabalu airport. I managed to walk to this hotel from the domestic terminal (about ten minutes), tho not ideal with a large case. The staff were endlessly helpful opening the restaurant for me and cooking me a meal themselves, even though I had no cash to... More

Stayed here initially for 1 night and arrived late at night after a flight. The following night we camped on an island just off the coast but then came back to Casuarina. Staff were really accommodating when it came to us leaving bags, getting more rooms etc. We paid approx. $30 AUD per night booked through Agoda. The hotel is... More
