Stayed at Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu recently and had a really pleasant experience! ✨ The hotel is in a very strategic location right in the city center, making it super convenient to walk to nearby food spots, shopping areas, and attractions. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and nicely maintained after the renovation. I also appreciated how peaceful the atmosphere was despite being in a busy area. Staff were friendly, helpful, and check-in was smooth. Great value for money if you're looking for a comfortable stay in KK without overspending. Perfect for both business trips and short getaways. Would definitely stay here again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have stayed in this hotel before and this time round I chose to stay in this hotel. It was a good selection because it’s convenient for my business purposes. It’s close to the airport and easy to grab rides. However, this time round the room was not up to par because the air-conditioning was not working in pristine condition, room felt rather warm.

There's road construction downstairs, which made the hotel feel more like a standard domestic inn. The upside is it's right next to a large mall, so shopping is convenient. Everything else was just so-so, including the sea view, which was also mediocre, and the windows were dirty, obscuring the view.

Overall the stay was okay and the place was comfortable. The location is good. There's many food courts nearby and very accessible if you want to go to KK town. The main downside is the parking. There was no parking available, which was quite inconvenient. I think this is something that really needs improvement, especially for guests who are driving. Other than the parking issue, everything else was fine. It was a great stay except for the parking. Thanksss

Facilities: The room was small with only one chair, which wasn't very convenient for a double room. There were two pillows, both identical and very high, causing me neck pain – not good. Cleanliness: Initially, it seemed okay until I found oily stains on my bedsheets... clearly not something I caused. (See picture P3) Ambiance: It's a hotel converted from a bar, which is decent. The winding corridors reminded me of a hotel from a dream. Service: Average. I arrived early, and they charged 70 MYR for early check-in... While I know some hotels have this policy, it was still quite frustrating. Location: It's a bit far from attractions, requiring a taxi for 5-20 MYR. Gaya Street is 5-8 MYR away, and the beach can be 22 MYR when it's busy. It's close to the airport and in a Chinese district. I crossed the road daily to eat at a Chinese Muslim restaurant opposite, which was quite tasty.
