Kinabalu Park is the most popular destination of Sabah, visitors usually find it highly desirable to spend more time exploring the park. However, the official accommodation in Kinabalu Park is expensive. For about RM200 a night, you only get the cheapest dormitory bed with common bathroom in Kinabalu Park. If you don’t mind staying outside the park, RM200 can make you feel like a VIP.<\/p>\n

\"conquer
\nThe following accommodations range from budget lodges, mid-range chalets to high-end resort, and you can see their exact locations in my Google map<\/a>. Three things to note:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The prices listed here are normal rates. The accommodation fee is higher in peak season (weekends, public and school holiday).<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Each hotel has different policy. e.g. the check-in time can be as early as 1pm or as late as 3pm.<\/li>\n
  3. The rates published in some websites might be outdated or don’t include 6% GST (Government Service Tax, or known as VAT in other countries).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
