Nice hotel with a very good location. Close to Gaya street where there are many eateries and where the wkend market is located. Next to the iconic round about and the sea front.
The hotel may have been look dated, but the rooms looks to have been refurbished since last stayed here.
Rooms is spacious and bed is comfortable. No issue with cleanliness. Didn't use any of the facilities as we just stayed a night before heading out to KK park. Good value for money.

Rooms are clean. Room is nice and spacious. Facilities like the gym and pool are sufficient. Buffet breakfast was as expected as well. Basically a you pay for what you get kind of place.
If you’re the type of traveler that likes to enjoy the hotel amenities and just chill there then this is a good place to go to.
Has a very nice Chinese seafood restaurant located behind the hotel. Also for supper you could head to the fried chicken fast food restaurant behind the hotel too which is open 24 hours.

Firstly was staying in mountains view but at last decided pay extra 80+ to upgrade to a sea view room.
The room is big, but there is some bugs in the room.
The tissues is not fully replace, used a few then finish.
The water pressure from the celling head is too small!
And lastly paid for upgrade to sea view room, it give me a corner room with half blocked by building and only can view the sea half. It is not worth it for me to upgrade to a sea view room.

First, all the check in counters were open but still the check in queue was long. I was queued for almost 1 hour just to check in. Need to better system in check-in.
Second, hotel policies stated no outside food. If guest order food outside, food rider only able to delivered until guardhouse and guest need to walk out and take the food themselves. To minimize the hassle, we opt for in-room dining for our 2 nights stay. First night was good. Second night some of the menu are OOS such as pizza and even mushroom soup.
Third, another incident on our 2nd night, fire alarm was rang on 12+am. Lift was unable to use as well and fire symbol was shown on the lift panel. Guests started panicked and going down using stairs. Me and my family (along with my 7months pregnant sister) decided to go down to lobby using stairs, since there are no staff was seen to inform us what has happened. Once we reached lobby, only there is a staff informed is a false alarm. For this kind of situation, staff should be act faster since its related with safety.
Other than that, we've enjoyed the view from our room, the facilities that are offered. We're enjoyed the pizza on our first night, thats why we want to repeat on 2nd night and too bad its not available. Sutera Harbour is one of the well known resort in Kota Kinabalu, a place to catch good sunset view, and I hope they're able to improve their services and better safety/security.

Really awesome to spend some leisure time there. Really enjoy the green view inside hotel. Some facilities are a bit old like the toilet problem which also mentioned by others. And not easy to call delivery food, almost impossible. In general it was an enjoyable stay.

Wonderful customer service from the proprietor, they were helpful with local information and flexible with the room. Converted and remodelled unit in a residential/business block above the Imago shopping centre, room was compact but nicely setup with classy decor. Tea, coffee, water, and 2 x crisps provided daily. Access to two good sized outdoor pools, lots of restaurants on the street and mall plus money exchange over the road. Excellent location, main tourist attractions are a short taxi ride away.
