Detailed Reviews
This hotel exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Plus Points:
* First of all the staff are professional, friendly, warm, welcoming and very efficient.
* The hotel is modern, well kept and the room is very comfortable and well equipped - the bed is perfect, the shower is amazing!
* There are many nearby options for food and drink.
* There is a cafe attached to the hotel that serves excellent coffee. In the morning they provide a basic breakfast inclusive of the room cost.
* For dinner we ate at a nearby restaurant called Wearhouse, which was the best option for food in the area.
* They offer free airport pickup and drop off.
Negative points (not really that negative)
* There is no courtyard or pool to relax in while we wait.
* The location of the hotel is in quite an industrial area so walking around is not that pleasant. However, you can take a taxi quite easily to more tourist friendly places. (We didn’t require this)
If we return to KK and require a stopover, we will definitely return to this hotel.

We are transiting at Kota Kinabalu for one night before kickstarting our journey around Kota Belud, Kundasang, and Ranau! It was a pleasant experience for us all and all. Stanton Hotel is a good choice as it is 10 minutes away from the Kota Kinabalu Airport and very convenient as it is near to the convenience store and main attraction around Kota Kinabalu like the Filipino Market and the seafood restaurants.
The hotel gave us an elegant, western feeling with its design and architecture. Lifts are available on your room's floor. And most importantly the hotel is very very comfortable, clean and affordable. The room is spacious, comfortable, and clean. Breakfast food is delicious, and you can select the option of having them in your room.
Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Services are fast. Check-in and check-out processes are fast and easy. All and all, Stanton Hotel is a great place for you to recover and rest - and for you to explore the areas around Kota Kinabalu city. The hotel is a good place after you have arrived from the airport, or for you to prepare before your next flight!

Stanton is a boutique hotel but the amazing hospitality provided by the staffs are even better than some 5 star hotels! Thumbs up to all the friendly, kind and attentive staffs.
The hotel itself is tastefully done. It exudes the ‘Wow’ factor, every corner is instagram worthy. Rooms are very comfortable and most importantly, very clean.
Simple breakfast provided by the cafe is good enough to fuel our energy in the morning.
Will definitely stay here again!

The hotel is new so all was good. The bed is comfy, the room is clean. U got all u need in the room. Just a bit small, but u got what u pay. The shower was clogged, but my husband managed to solve it by removing hairs from the drain. The front desk staff should be more friendly, just my personal opinion. Overall, It was a good stay.

First of all, this hotel has a very good sense of design, which shows that the hotel has a very good taste. Secondly, the hotel's hardware and software facilities are very good. The faucet shower head is equipped with a good brand, The shampoo and shower gel are all quite good. The products are also very good. The mattress is quite soft and hard, and there are two kinds of pillows for customers to choose from, feather pillows and cotton pillows. It is completely a five-star level.

During my stay one of the worst thing I ever faced was no tv because their "license has expired" and unable to use the guest phone in the room very unacceptable why sell me the room if I cant use the tv or the phone? I had to stay in the room with no window AND no TV to entertain me. I need to call the reception using my mobile phone.
Some more the sound proofing of the room is horrendous. I can hear other people's conversation, laughter, murmuring next to the room. The drain in the shower drains ever so slowly I can't even shower in peace without worrying I might flood the whole bathroom.
Staff was accommodating and adequate enough. Design and exterior of the hotel was nice enough. That's the only good thing, but unfortunately your rooms fell short this time.

The design of hotel really makes people feel so impressive. Whether it is the appearance of the hotel or the environment in the room, it is very pleasant. At the same time, this is also a hotel full of details, and you can find many surprises in the room. For example, all kinds of furniture with logos printed on it, you can see the name of the hotel even when you turn on the TV. Another detail is that they actually prepared umbrellas for emergencies, which is relatively rare in other places. Overall it is very satisfying.
