Hotels in Kota Kinabalu

Very clean and new. Looks like being renovated. Came here for seminar as the talk is organized inside the hotel. The location is good as it is in the center of the city. Service is good except that check in counter only have 2 and average waiting time is about 30 minutes for check in. However, maybe due to the hotel is full, our rooms are not ready when we check in at 3pm. But the hotel upgrade our room to another available unit which we will give a credit to the hotel. Breakfast is good and many variety, only the structure of the dining area is very inconvenient as the dining area too small and many corners which is not convenient to obtain the food especially for the beverage counter. The dining que line is too long due to the location where both the coffee machine are too close to each other and doesn’t not have any turning point and the coffee machine is very very slow. Suggest to change to a bigger dining area as the dining area cannot fit the number of customers especially for a seminar of 200+ people and refill is slow and we only have 1 hour lunch time where queing for food already took almost half an hour. Other than the above, I am satisfied with the hotel.

Arrived rather late from KK Airport and did a checked in late to almost midnight. Reception was busy at this hour with another group of 6 (family) of koreans also doing their check in. For the first night, the aircond did not cool down the room but informed housekeeping and maintenance next morning during breakfast and the team resolved the issue promptly . The room allocated is SPACIOUS . theres still available room to possibly fit another 2 single beds ! Location of hotel is superb as it is just beside Suria Shopping Centre. Breakfast selection is extensive and you get to see a good seaview AND a construction site of an upcoming Condominium. I love this hotels pool area and Poolside bar with the beautiful Sea view and Sunset . The Gym is located same floor as the pool. The TV in the room is a smart TV, I could surf and view youtube channels directly . Will i stay here again ? yes , and will choose a Deluxe category as these rooms faces the sea directly (sunset also)

I really enjoyed staying at cititel. The hotel is close to the food market, business area. So we can find various food around the hotel. They don't prepare a jug of boiling water, but we can use the dispenser near the lift.

I was surprised when I saw this hotel is rated as 2 stars in google. Like whatt? This hotel should be rated as 3 to 4 stars bcs the hotel services are the best. The hotel building is also huge. Perfect for staycation! Highlights: Friendly staff and efficient check in process. The front office staff explained very clearly about the hotel facilities. Good job! Spacious and clean room, modern room design, Smart Tv included, great ambience, free & fast wifi connection. I loveee the free breakfast and I’m a huge coffee lover, I like that there is a coffee maker, very convenient. The croissant is also amazing! I love all the food here 👍 Overall, well done Holiday Inn Express KK! Thank you for your amazing 5 star hospitality services. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An old hotel tuck behind a mall in a central area. Easy access to Waterfront centre for food and drinks. Convenient store are within easy reach. Simple breakfast and clean room. However, Rooms are located along long corridors with minimal privacy and voices can be clearly heard. I left my cap in the room after checkout. Emailed and surprisingly, got a pretty fast response from Ms Annie, senior room reservation staff. She said that she will check the postal/courier cost to send it back and will revert. 2 weeks have passed and no news from her despite many email reminders. From being impressed with this 3 star hotel turns to very disappointing service. It would otherwise have been a very satisfying stay at this price point and a 5 star rating but it is not to be. Hope to get a response soonest

We booked the ocean wing junior suite for a 4D3N stay. The service staff was very helpful and accommodative to our request to change room so that we can stay adjacent to one another. Overall stay was fantastic, especially the food which was delicious and satisfied our palate. There are many activities which you can book with a fee. The spa was located at the scenic golf club and it was great. We also took up a day tour which included a river cruise and firefly viewing. It was a beautiful sight and good experience (minus the mosquitoes!). The resort is not exactly near any amenities but it offers complimentary shutter bus service to Suria Sabah and Imago Shopping Mall three times daily. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a holiday with some exclusivity.

Good room… surprised to see separate rooms inside for 3 persons staying… 1 for couple and 1 more for single … really amazed with this… Things that are lacking probably is the shaver they don’t provide, internet not really connecting to the tv and limited 3 bottle of 500ml for 3 person..

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hotel that exceeded my expectations in multiple ways. I was there for a week-long work trip and chose this hotel based on its competitive rates and promising reviews. I must say, my experience was nothing short of delightful, and I’m eager to share my thoughts. First and foremost, the room itself was incredibly spacious, which made my stay very comfortable. It’s rare to find such ample space in a hotel room at this price point, and it truly set the tone for a relaxing and productive week. The room was well-appointed, with all the necessary amenities to ensure a pleasant stay. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, allowing me to rest well after long days of meetings. One of the highlights of my room was the stunning view it offered. From my window, I had a clear view of the sea, which was both calming and inspiring. Additionally, I could see Suria Mall, a convenient location for shopping and dining. Waking up to such a beautiful sight each day was invigorating and added a touch of luxury to my stay. My room number was 705, and I would highly recommend it to future guests seeking a room with a view. The hotel staff deserve a special mention for their friendliness and professionalism. From the moment I checked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and efficient service. The staff were always ready to assist with any inquiries or requests, making me feel welcome and valued as a guest. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality enhanced my overall experience, and I am grateful for their efforts. While the hotel did not provide breakfast, this was not an issue for me. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and it gave me the opportunity to explore local cafes and restaurants. The convenience of Suria Mall being so close meant that I had a variety of choices at my disposal. Reflecting on my stay, I cannot find anything to complain about. The hotel delivered on all fronts, offering comfort, convenience, and excellent service. I have no regrets about choosing this hotel for my work trip, and it has certainly set a high standard for my future travels. Given my positive experience, I am already planning to book this hotel again for my next trip. The combination of spacious rooms, breathtaking views, and friendly staff makes it an ideal choice for both business and leisure travelers. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. In conclusion, my week-long stay at this hotel was an absolute pleasure. It provided everything I needed for a successful and enjoyable trip, and I look forward to returning in the future.
