What’s not to like about this place? Sure, it’s small, but that’s what makes it convenient of where’s it at. I’d like to point out I have never been to KK, I had no idea this hotel would be a place I would’ve gladly stayed for 2 weeks. Not everyone will see it that way, but it was centered not too far from the Suria Sabah mall which has A LOT of stores and food places to go too. You want McDonald’s? It’s 2 minutes from you. Need some shoes or an outfit? Again, it’s right there. The laundromat is right down the street from the hotel, and it’s awesome because it has detergent already in the washing machine so you don’t have to add anymore. They’re was a dope sushi place right down the way, a good coffee shop. (October Coffee House), and sooo many options. They also have the night market which is 2 blocks down on the weekends where they sell even more food that’s local and is cheap. That food out there was good, you can’t miss it if you’re staying over the weekend. So much good things about this place, the staff was INCREDIBLE when I stayed there, giving me tips on things to do and what to look for and even where to eat. If you guys are reading this, it’s Ricci, I was the only black guy from Cali staying there, miss y’all! Stay here if you need a good central location while you’re in KK, this city was amazing and has a lot to offer.

Clean Peaceful Good location Friendly service Reliable Matatata Hotel was one of the best stays I've ever had. All the staff go above and beyond to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. I found that the location was ideal with Suria Sabah mall, the marina/marina market and Gaya night market being less than 5min away on foot. There is also many food options in the surrounding area and even resturants at your door step along with local shops like 7eleven and Watson. I had an incredibly peaceful stay here and will definitely be coming back if ever in Sabah again.

The place was so clean, neat and tidy. I like that the rooms aren't too big but still cozy. It has sufficient, modern and subtle lighting. I appreciate that. The shower, hot water and AC all functioned well. The staffs were so friendly and helpful. Especially the two ladies at the reception counter. I already felt like home. They greeted me politely and offered to keep my bag since I arrived early. The location is also strategic. Directly above 7E and other convenience stores, restaurants are just a stone's throw away.

Aside from a slight parking challenge, Matata Hotel is strategically placed, with Suria Sabah just behind it, and 7-Eleven right next to the hotel entrance. Just a road away from Gaya Street. The first thing we did was check with the reception on the great local restaurant nearby and got some great recommendations as well. The rooms are clean, the lobby looks spacious as well. This place is perfect for travellers without a car during their travel.

Firstly, the location. Very central and with. Walking distance to jetty and malls. Special shout out to Vanessa, the staff who helped us even before we departed. My son’s luggage was accidentally locked and she offered to help me arrange a locksmith even before we arrive at hotel. And when my son left his charger in the room when we checked out, Vanessa promptly found it and texted me to retrieve. Superb staff in Vanessa! She is a real gem !
