The hotel staff told us the room we book not ready for customer yet (Maybe the need to do some inspections first before selling the room bcause this hotel is consider as a new building, minor half this building still under construction). Then, we got a new room ( i think it's listed as premier bed king/queen size with seaview). Parking Zone quit spacious but 👻 ( i guess it is paid parking and i see just a few car was park make it look 👻).Thank you Citadines KK ✨🎉 for the hospitality

The hotel front staff is friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is good. The sunset view from the rooftop is so beautiful. In addition, I had a great time with my child because I could see the take-off scene of the aircraft up close. There are many useful stores such as restaurants and marts near the hotel, so it is convenient. It is very close to the airport, so it is convenient.
If you pay for the deposit with your card at check-in, it cannot be canceled immediately at check-out, and it is a pity that it takes about two weeks. Most hotels cancel the card approval right away at check-out.
I'm waiting for the deposit I paid with my credit card to be canceled properly.

✎ ̼Location: It is in a high-end residential building near Durian Street. It is surrounded by attractions that can be reached on foot. It is a fifteen-minute drive from the airport, which is very convenient.
✎ ̼Facilities: There are two club swimming pools on the sixth floor, but the infinity pool is dirty and unavailable. I thought it could be checked in, but in fact no one would go there at all. It felt a bit like being cheated.
✎ ̼Room: Comfort Suite with Mountain View HKD 643 (one night/maximum occupancy of four people)
The area is large enough, with two bedrooms, a living room and a terrace. It is similar to a residential rental room, with a kitchen and a small study room. Unfortunately, there is no washing machine. Fortunately, there is a 24-hour self-service laundromat nearby. There are also no slippers or toiletries, so you have to bring your own.
✎ ̼Luggage storage: We thought this service was available, but in fact it can only be stored until 2 pm. However, the hotel contact person can find a friend to store it on his behalf, but it will cost MYR 15 for the whole day.

The hotel is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. Unfortunately, during my stay, the hotel was undergoing maintenance, resulting in no hot water for two days. Housekeeping kindly provided hot water upon request. The complimentary breakfast could use some improvements — the coffee machine frequently ran out of water, causing long waits, and the food quality could be better. Overall, still a pleasant stay and I hope these issues will be addressed.

This is my experienced during stayed here.
1. Receptionist are not friendly not even smile at you such a DIVA. Hahahahahah
2. Check -in 2.00 afternoon with strictly rule
3. Asking for deposit RM250 and will be refund after 7 to 14 days !!! So better think twice before you come
So uploaded some of the photos i’ve took after check out

Like any holiday inn, it is a good value for money option. Located about 15min walk away from Gaya Street, the location is not too close from the main tourist area, yet Kota Kinabalu is a small city, so getting around isn't a problem.
The gym is better than most hotel, the bar serves a good pint, all in all a good option!

The hotel is so near to the jetty for islands hopping, like 5 minutes walk. There is a 7/11 downstairs and a duty free shop, a shopping mall, upsidedown museum and many restaurants within 5minutes walking distance. There are 6 of us for this trip, therefore we booked 3 bedrooms family suite, which is so big, 3 bedrooms with 1 big living room, balcony, kitchen (microwave, utensils, plates and bowls, fridge, small pot, induction cooker, range hood), and amazingly 3 bathrooms, I think is pretty ideal for family.

GGuest UserHotel grandis is the best hotel I have ever stayed in kota Kinabalu this is my second time stay at the hotel.
Before I have stayed in Hilton, Mercure, Hyatt but still I feel grandis is more comfortable because of its location, easy access to mall, big rooms, comparing other hotel like Hilton, Mercure the rooms are very small no bath tub or sea view.
We book a deluxe room in grandis we had a sea view, the rooms are spacious, bed is very comfortable my kid enjoyed the bath tub, perfectly organised room, swimming pool and gym also available at the roof top.
Good thing is that they have paid parking, buffet breakfast was pretty decent,easy access to Suria Sabah mall.

BBenjamin Sch.The location was great and the staff super friendly. A part of the beach was reserved for hotel guests and was not overcrowded. The team was trying its best to pick up all plastic in the morning from the beach but unfortunately during the day more was coming. People should take more care themselves.
You can go snorkeling at the beach but to arrive the corals you need to wait for the tide and have to be a good swimmer. Then it’s beautiful out there.
The breakfast was great and a good combination between buffet and menu.
Overall we can recommend it for 2 nights. Don’t forget your mosquito repellent and bites relief.
We saw several Gerrys;) - beautiful creatures.
FFH AdminHad a fantastic stay at Horizon Hotel Kota Kinabalu! The location is perfect—right in the city center with easy access to attractions and local eateries. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making the experience even better. Plus, the breakfast selection was delicious! Highly recommend for a comfortable and convenient stay.

GGuest UserPlease DO NOT book this unit SA#01, you will definitely REGRET. They never maintain the unit well. These are the problem we faced during our stays at this unit :
1. Before check in I wrote to confirm whether is there a washing machine. Their answer is 'YES' but they never said it was NOT WORKING until when you want to use then only they said washing machine is out of order.
2. Horrible water leaking at toilet sink that cause the floor all wet the whole time. Until we really can't stand and need to use the kitchen sink to brush teeth and hand washing.
3. Master bed room air conditioner is not working well, instead of cool air it come out like warm air.
4.Not extra garbage begs provided.
5.The whole apartment only 2 socket can be used for HP, Laptop charging. Imagine we have to queue to charge our HP.
6.Did not really mention only 1 toilet attached in between 2 rooms.
Please think twice if you are booking this unit.
AAnonymous UserArrived abt 11pm for checkin, the lobby is kinda dark, staff takes time to give us room to checkin so maybe ard 15 mins or so. Breakfast is decent. Ok la for short stay.

VVinnnzI booked 1 bedroom sea view spa suite apartment. It was located on the 5 floors. I brought one toodler, how scary it is. But worry not, the balcony got grill and sliding door glass.
Very comfortable, and foods is good. Eventho pricey. The is basic kitchen utensil, can cook.
AAnonymous UserLike: The room is spacious and has a hot water dispenser, which is great. The kitchen can also be used for cooking. Netflix is provided, making it convenient for families to stay. Contacted the B&B and got a quick reply.
Areas for improvement: There is a dent in the mattress, the toilet seat, the liquid dispenser is loose, the air conditioner, and the hardware could be more ideal.
In summary: great value for money.
