Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu

I like this hotel. Very cozy. And almost nearby to place I want to go. Front of waterfront. We have sea view room. We come back.brekfast so good

I was a little disappointed with this hotel. It ticks all of the boxes as far as an average hotel goes but it was lacking in certain efficiencies. Breakfast was organised buffet style but there was only 2 self operating coffee machines which literally takes 2 minutes to dispense one cup. The breakfast area can hold well over 150 people by my estimate & it was packed each morning. This hotel seems to cater to mainly Asian customers so the choice of western style breakfast food is limited. Finding a table for a single traveller such as myself was difficult. There was never any salt & pepper on any table & I had to request some each morning from the staff. The swimming pool is situated at the front & must be accessed from the 1st floor. Towels are issued by the concierge & the change rooms are above the lobby area. There were only 6 sun loungers & no shade. If it rains the pool is closed due to safety issues? Strangely I never noticed any fire escape nor was there an evacuation plan on the back of the door in the room to advise what should be done in an emergency. There is no bar in this hotel & those wishing to partake of an alcoholic beverage will be sadly disappointed! This may be temporary as there was some building work going on but I was unaware what was being constructed. The onsite dining facilities are limited to the Dynasty Chinese Restaurant but I did not eat there. The KK Waterfront is a mere 400 metres walk across a busy road & I found myself dining there on most evenings.

The location close to the city centre and the variety of breakfasts with fresh fruit exceeded my expectations, and I had a great time.

Good for price. Average breakfast spread and taste. Spacious room. Friendly and helpful front desk. Will come again. Less shower water pressure for normal room compared to deluxe room. Average TV channel (proposed upgrade to smart TV)

nice stay but i didn’t get to pick the room with sea view but tbh a bit pricey for the service provided

Room 902, water pressure is ok, room is newly renovated, only sound insulation not too good
