Top Couple Friendly Hotels in Kota Kinabalu

I like to come here Just like my prev comment, the variety of foods at club longue are much lesser compared to before. No doubt, we pay for the sunset view tho and it was stunning The room was spacious n clean except for the toilet in which the water pools on the floor and doesnt flow to the drain (i stayed at room 1436)

I would just rate it like a 4 stars hotel. Don’t expect too much, and it will be great. Breakfast just normal, waitstaff was a bit inattentive, not sure which table bring us to. didn’t book a seaview room, but my room was totally a blocked view 🤣. Can only see a huge rooftop of other buildings. But the room is clean, cleaning service quite good, I asked for more water and they did gave me more. One of the highlight could be their pool. Great sea view, I enjoyed it a lot. location is decent, still need to walk a bit to reach the main city area.

Overall our 2-night stay at Hyatt Centric KK was comfy n relaxing. The lobby n top floor lounge ambience is excellent~feeling of calmness. Rooms are spacious n clean with beautiful sunset seaview. We especially like the bathroom with sitting bench~ a considerate design for guests who prefer to sit n shower. Restaurant staff were very well-mannered n helpful. The hotel is well located just opposite the Sabah Suria shopping mall, so it's very convenient if you wish to dine out or shop around…

We stayed here as part of a group tour. The first impressions were great as the staff took our luggage to our accommodation and they gave us a helpful briefing about the island. We were also welcomed with cold towels and a cold drink which was very welcome. The island does get very busy, particularly on weekends with day trippers, but we liked that there was a beach specifically for hotel guests. The hotel also has a pool but we didn’t use this. Our room was really nice with a comfy bed and fluffy pillows and good air con. We had a safe, a fridge and kettle and tea and coffee, and the bathroom was nice and spacious. We also had sofas to sit and relax with a tv. The only point I would make is that there were no shelves to put your clothes on in the rooms but we got creative and took the ironing board out of the cupboard and created our own makeshift shelf. It was so sweet that the staff left us a weather forecast on a card for the next day, and some chocolates in our room. The restaurant on the island was really good with nice breakfast choices and dinner options. Breakfast was included and we thought the food options and drinks were reasonably priced. We were also serenaded by a band who played a few songs for us at dinner which was fun. We loved walking along the pier where you could see baby black tips, puffers, needle fish and shoals of fish - anchovies. There are a lot of sandflies and mosquitoes on the island and in our room we were given a plugged in repellant along with a candle to deter them which the staff lit for us. Even though we wore repellent at night (dusk and dawn), we got so many bites so it is worth covering up at night; especially legs and feet. We also got lots of stings on the snorkelling trip from sea lice, so if you are sensitive to bites and feel allergic, we would recommend that you wear a long wetsuit or lycra pants if you have them. We had a lovely relaxing time here and it was a very enjoyable stay for us.

The hotel room which I stayed was very confortable, with wide space, big bed, clean bedsheets and near to eating places and also near to the airport. Initially I was afraid the noise from the airplanes may disturb my sleep as my room was facing on the left side of the building, but to my surprise I did not hear planes flying so I was happy that I didn't experience any noise to disturb my tranquility. The only con is there is no restaurant in the hotel so my breakfast came as a bento like box takeaway. No coffee also, the coffee is available in the room but is chargeable. Only the tea bags are free. The parking is multi-storeyed and managed electronically. You put your car into the car lift and it is then parked automatically one car at a time. To retrieve your car, you need to scan your hotel card for it to be brought down via the car lift again. It may be time consuming if you are in a hurry and there are a few people in the queue before you.

Everything was good such as the pool, view, overall cleanliness and location. But there was a strong pungent musty smell that was coming from all the drains. We made several complaints but all they did was pour a little chemical down the drains which did nothing. I've had this problem in my own home. The owner must clean the drains thoroughly to get rid of the smell. Make sure he does this before booking!!

The host was very welcoming. We landed at 4am and he drove over to store our luggage in the car. When we came back from island hopping, our luggage was already in the room. The location is very good. It takes 15 minutes by taxi from the airport and 5 MYR by taxi from the pier. You can also walk there. It takes 2 minutes to walk downstairs to Durian Street and another 2 minutes to walk to Gaya Street Night Market. You can also see the sea view in the room. There is an infinity pool on the 6th floor. In short, the price-performance ratio is very high.

Love the stay! 😍 We stayed at Studio Premier Queen Room and it was perfect for my husband and I as they have literally everything! From the kitchen utensils, pots & pans, toaster, chopping board, knifes, they even have microwave! They even have iron & iron board! It really feels like home ❤️ Oh, also they have complete facilities too such as public washing machine, gym, swimming pool, meetinh room & more ~ Citadines Waterfront Kota Kinabalu is just located at the city centre, it's so convenient! Thank again for the pleasant stay, love the friendly staffs too 💞 Definitely will be back again with my family next! 🥰

After comparing several sea view apartments in the city center, I chose their romantic sunset sea view apartment. The main reason is that the arrival time of the flight was already midnight, so I arranged an airport pick-up with the landlord, which saved us the trouble of how to drive to the apartment and check in. The host, CK, helped us with all the check-in procedures in advance, and took us directly to the door of the apartment after picking us up from the airport. The next morning, I was woken up by the lively sound of the fishing pier. When I opened the curtains, the large glass balcony faced the pier, and I could see the blue sea while lying on the bed! Facing the setting sun in the evening, it’s like lying on the bed and blowing the air-conditioning to enjoy the top ten golden sunsets in the world! The location of the apartment is very convenient. You can meet all your travel needs within a five-minute walk, especially the must-eat Internet celebrity food, and five minutes to the Fisherman's Wharf Bar Street. It's a pity that we only arranged to stay for one night this time, and we must come again next time!
