Hotel Five 2

About Hotel Five 2

Hotel O Five 2 is a contemporary hotel with modern rooms and essential amenities, a stylish bar for evening drinks and 24-hour service, according to the property.

It's about a seven-minute walk from the Filipino Market Sabah, the handicraft market on the waterfront.

Why it works for a stay in Kota Kinabalu

The waterfront markets are some of KK's most colourful sights: handicraft stalls selling pearls, baskets and souvenirs by day, and a night market where fish, prawns and squid are grilled to order.

Having a bar at the hotel is a nice way to end the evening without going far, and 24-hour service helps with early island trips and late flights.

The Sabah State Museum and Heritage Village is close by, with traditional houses, a museum of history and natural history and leafy gardens.

Snorkelling trips to the islands, river cruises and the climb up Mount Kinabalu can all be arranged in town.

The city's night market is busiest from late afternoon, when stalls fire up their grills and the air fills with the smell of barbecued seafood, satay and chicken wings. Choose your fish from the ice, agree a price and it's cooked while you wait, served with rice and chilli sauce. It's one of the cheapest and most memorable meals in KK.
