“The Seraya Hotel places you perfectly for exploring Kota Kinabalu on foot, from the Gaya Sunday Market to the Jesselton Point jetty. While rooms prioritize efficient cleanliness over spaciousness, the location and helpful staff definitely stand out. I think its commitment to reducing single-use plastics, with its lobby water dispenser, is a thoughtful touch, too.”
