Boasting 4 dining options and an outdoor swimming pool, Horizon Hotel is located in Kota Kinabalu. The property is a 5-minute walk to Gaya Street and offers elegant, air-conditioned guest rooms . Free WiFi is accessible throughout and free parking is provided. The sea view was so good, interior of the room was also great. Modern and cozy. It was better than the picture that website gives. Also they have JACUZZI HINOKI! We used it every night, after finishing the schedule for the day. I think horizon hotel should update the picture of the rooms. I didn't expect the room to be THIS nice. Location is perfect, staff are also friendly. The breakfast soup was a bit...😅, but the fried rice was excellent. We went every day, no matter how tired we were, to have fried rice for breakfast. Gym and pool are also good. There is also a separate shallow pool for children.
