Kota Kinabalu, Sabah : AirAsia & Tune Hotels

We had a trip to Kota Kinabalu. It was my second time visiting KK :). The first time was for work, and this time, it's TOTAL LEISURE. Wohoooooo! :D

AirAsia and AirAsia Go is having big promotions that time. We managed to grab a few good deals --- RM350 per px for 3 days 2 nights, which consisted of:

-- Return flight tickets
-- In-flight meals (return)
-- Accommodation @ Tune Hotels: 1 Borneo, Kota Kinabalu.
-- Charter from the airport to Tune Hotels
-- Charter from the Tune Hotels to the airport

Awesome yehh? :D



I pre-booked Pak Nasser's Nasi Lemak, served with Old Town White Coffee. The nasi lemak has never failed to satisfy my hungry tummy on board. Hee :D

It took about 30 minutes from the airport to the hotel. The hotel is located within 1Borneo, East Malaysia's largest shopping mall.

The hotel lobby

As you can see, there's 7Eleven in the lobby itself. So convenient to grab daily necessities! (drinking water, snacks, etc)

The room corridor

The room

The luxurious bed, very very very comfortable :D


I purchased the towel rental and toiletries add-on.
Costs about RM5.30 (including tax)


There's a huge mirror right in front of the bathroom.

This is the bathroom. Psst, do take note that the bathroom door has no lock. Ngehehehe :>


There's a hairdryer installed in the bathroom. Only Tune Hotels Kota Kinabalu is offering free usage of hairdryer. You will be charged RM1 per day in other Tune Hotels.

Oh I love the powerful hot shower!

And not forgetting, the entertainment available in the room. But we did not purchase the entertainment package (RM6.90 per day) as we were not in the room most of the time. Exploring outside of course! :D

Btw, we paid for the air conditioning (RM 13.62 -12 hours per day). The hotel provided the ceiling fan but believe me, you will need the air conditioning anyway coz the room is windowless and it'll be super stuffy and hot.

I recently went to KK also but I stayed at Courtyard Borneo - the one next to tune hotel. Seeing the 7-11 made me miss the trip again hehe.

Didn't have time to explore the mall much though but super nice to have it so nearby.

Oh yea! You told me d other day. How was it? Nice nice? The mall is like our Pavilion, lotsa branded stuff.

I've been hearing a lot about Tune Hotels, that's why decided to give it a try. Turned out great! Cheap rates, awesome room. :D Maybe you should try it too when u have the chance.
