"I recently stayed at Capital Express, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. Location: The hotel is ideally located in the city center, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. It’s close to the waterfront and Gaya Street, which is perfect for sightseeing, dining, and shopping. Additionally, having several supermarkets nearby was convenient for grabbing essentials. Service: The reception staff had a great attitude, always welcoming and helpful. Housekeeping: The hotel offers daily housekeeping upon request. Overall, Capital Express is a good choice for travelers looking for a well-located, convenient, and friendly place to stay. Would definitely consider staying again!"

"I had a hard time confirming the free airport shuttle with Stanton hotel using the on line chat. I tried twice before the trip. As a result when I finally received the message via email and WhatsApp on the arrival date , we missed the pickup and had to wait for another 45mins for the driver to come around. This is quite frustrating as I thought I had to call Grab which the hotel had asked me to do so when I wanted to book a drop off airport shuttle early at 6:30. But then when I arrived at the hotel , the front desk said it was free, later changed it to 30RM. We paid $30 and it's like they don't have any policy for this or if they do, it changes. Overall, the hotel is very decent, and we stayed at ground floor. Staff is very cooperative and accommodating."

"Environment: The location is close to the pier, but you need to take a taxi (2-5 MYR) to reach the famous restaurants. The street is super noisy! ! ! Noisy all day long ❗ Especially not suitable for people who have trouble sleeping, and the beach cannot be photographed in the apartment Service: Fully self-service, you can use the housekeeper's WeChat in advance, pick up the key on the 32nd floor, and then put it back after checking out. If you misremember your luggage, you will be charged. Facilities: Average, the bed sheets and sofas are stained with blood. There is an infinity swimming pool on the 7th floor"

GGuest UserI visited the hotel with my parents, my wife and my daughter. We stayed for four nights, checking in on 3rd May and checked out on the 7th. This is actually my second time visiting this hotel, the first time being 30 years ago, again with my parents. I had great memories as a kid so I was looking forward to this trip. The First night was great, had dinner at Coco Joe's and rested after a long trip. The Second day was fantastic, breakfast and dinner and Cafe Tutu, met a lovely dining lady named Rohana. During the day, we enjoyed the great activities of the Leisure Center. Friendly staff from there made the experience children friendly. And the icing of the dessert - the sunset parade, Jamie loves it. Housekeeping did a surprise heartwarming job, covering the lion doll of my daughter with a little towel on the pillow, very cute and thoughtful move. The Third Day we went out to town so didn't stay much time in the hotel. The Fourth Day, was quite disappointing to be honest. Housekeeping did not arrive in the morning when we were out playing at the pool. I understand as there are many rooms to take care of. We went back to the room to rest between 2-4pm, switch on the ”Do not disturb” button, and somehow housekeeping team arrived so they put a card to say they could not clean as we put up the do not disturb button. Fair enough, but again, there was five hours in the morning which they could clean the room. Leaving the room again at 4pm for activities, I called service center for housekeeping, switched off the ”Do not disturb” button and went out. We returned at 7:45pm, still there was no housekeeping. Frustrated, I called the service center again requesting for housekeeping, they replied they will check and follow up with housekeeping. Half an hour later, still no one turned up. Extremely irritated, I called service center for housekeeping again. This time, housekeeping finally arrived but our whole family were waiting for clean towels to have shower. VERY disappointing with the effecitivness of housekeeping and service center on this incident. On that very same day, I discovered a big crockcroach in the toilet, so I do have a big quetion mark on the housekeeping of this hotel. The day was worsen when we had dinner at Coco Joe's, where we wait for nearly an hour (from 6pm to 6:53pm) before we get all our food served. I did complain it to the manager when he came by, which he did apologise and waived our dining fee. Despite my disgrunt towards the long waiting time of the dishes, I would like to give credit on the manager (I think his name is Mr Kan?) in terms of how he managed the complaint. Overall, the experience is mixed. With friendly staff at leisure center + Cafe Tutu, good food but unreasonably long waiting time at Coco Joe's, and disappointing housekeeping after the heartwarming performance on the second day. The hardware of the hotel is great (view, pool design, restaurant seating) but our experience was mainly affected by the staff. On this ocassions, I would like to give commendation to the following staff: Rohana, Majid (both from Cafe Tutu), all staff from Leisure Centre (especially the two ladies and two gentleman hosting water polo and volleyball respectively), and Kan from Coco Joe's on complaint management. Please keep up on the good work you already have, and work hard on things that requires improvement:)

WWONG TIEN FUIUpon checking in, hotel was kind enough to grant the request (done during booking time) for higher floor rooms with good view. Great location - near Gaya Street, Jesselton Ferry Point, Suria & Wisma Merdeka Malls, restaurants, Handicraft Market, etc. Room with good bed, 4 pillows (2 hard pillows & 2 soft pillows). Complimentary 2 bottled water & 2 3-in-1 coffee sachets. Electric water kettle, bar fridge, TV, etc. Slight complaints - 1. rooms adjacent to main road can be quite noisy at night due to zooming passing vehicles, 2. sink that is slight blocked 3. No wifi 4. Shower gel should be changed to shower liquid (proned to get stucked in the given small plastic bottle container)

JJnicerI had a pleasant stay at Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu. The location is excellent — within walking distance to the waterfront, night market, and shopping malls. The room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed and a nice view of the city. Breakfast had a good variety, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. It’s a great choice for both business and leisure travelers. I would definitely stay here again.

MMohd Haikal Mohd Rokman⸻ I had a wonderful stay at Citadines Waterfront Kota Kinabalu. The location is excellent – right by the waterfront with easy access to Suria Sabah Mall, local eateries, and Jesselton Point for island hopping. The rooms are modern, clean, and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and all the amenities needed for both short and long stays. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist, which made the whole experience even more pleasant. I especially appreciated the rooftop pool area, which offers a relaxing atmosphere and a nice view of the city and sea. Overall, this property is a perfect choice for both business and leisure travelers who want convenience, comfort, and great service in Kota Kinabalu. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to staying here again.

AAchaEngcongChecked in at the hotel at around 9.30pm. I noticed the air conditiong was kinda hot. But i thought to myself, I’ll give it some time run first. Maybe it’ll get better soon. Then an hour later, it was still hot, so i called operator, and she said she will send someone to our room. Waited about 30 minutes or more, still nobody came. I called the second time, and she said she’ll get someone to our room again. And that’s it, nobody came to our room, to help us with the air conditioning. And we were to tired to wait already. So My 8 month old baby sleept sweating that night and i had to fan him with the note book that they put beside the bed. Upon checkout, I complained to the receptionist and the manager about the incident, and they checked on their system that the issue had been resolved. Which was abvioustly a lie. So the manager said he will investigate the matter and he promised something to me. So i hope he keep his words. I’m a regular here, so i know there was something wrong with the air conditioning. I know the quality of the hotel. So let’s see wether the manager is serious about his words.

PPrisca EMy stay at this hotel was underwhelming. Basic amenities were lacking, no toothbrush, no hand tissues (only toilet paper), no slippers, and no shower cap. They only provided two large towels, with no hand or face towels. The TV was nearly useless with just two available channels.The lighting was also poor; there was no main room light, only two dim lights behind the bed, which made the room feel dark and uninviting. For the price, there are definitely better options out there that offer more comfort and convenience.
