We check-in pretty late as our plan was to only spend one night in Kota Kinabalu because our flight was due in the morning at 0730am, so we needed a place to stay for the night & we didn't make an advance booking beforehand. First of all, the location of the hotel is a little inconvenient. There isn't any shops... More

We stayed at this comfortable hotel for two nights of our trip to Kota Kinabalu. This hotel is a little outside of the centre of town, located about 15 minutes from the airport. Although this is a large hotel with many rooms the service felt personalized and the hotel was quiet and relaxing. The house keeping staff stopped by our... More

Hotel served an international buffet for breakfast. Rooms are well appointed and housekeeping good. Food service average and restaurant and bar menu's look varied however in reality there is much less stocked than offered. We used the Ming Garden as a base for two nights before moving on and it did the job. The location is a little out of... More

I had booked this hotel for one night. For Asia, the price was high, but I had been anticipating certain features. I may have looked at two or three hotel booking sites (and used hotels.com) so I will not dismiss the possibility I created certain expectations myself. To start, any, and all of the staff I encountered, were wonderful. So,... More

Let's put things in perspective. I've gone to KK several times and I've stayed in two other hotels: Promenade and Manja Hotel which is in the same price range. The experience from the other hotels was just BAAADDD. So bad that an average hotel like Ming Garden can pass off as a four star hotel. That being said, I think... More
