⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had our Sabah Geriatric Conference 2025 at The Palace Hotel Kota Kinabalu, and the experience was excellent. The banquet team was truly outstanding — professional, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the event. The service, food quality, and pricing were all top-notch and well-balanced. The newly renovated hall and rooms were excellent — modern, spacious, and comfortable. O...

Then when it comes to amenities they were very stingy and did not replace an...

Had a great time at Palace Hotel KK last Friday for a farewell event with my coworkers. The venue was cozy and the service was excellent. Food was tasty too. Parking is okay if you come early, especially before 6pm. I’ve been at this hotel about 20 years ago and it’s nice to see it still well maintained. Overall a pleasant experience. Recommended for small events or gatherings.

If you want to have a quiet night,...
