Citadines Waterfront Kota Kinabalu

Location was central to shops and supermarket, market. Clean and new. Stayed on 21st floor and the busy traffic noise was mostly not audible. Wonderful view of the sea and the city. Great to have filtered water dispenser and free coffee, and kitchen area.

The amenities of a lounge, including every unit with its kitchen and, importantly, laundry facilities.

Location! Right in front of night markets, where you can find all local foods, seafood restaurants, souvenirs, fruits, etc. Malls are just a few walks away. Free covered car park for hotel guest. Kitchen with complete equipment and utensils in the room. All the staff were amazingly helpful.

I really loved my stay here. The staff are wonderful and extremely accommodating. I'd asked for a quiet room while booking due to health concerns, and they went over and above to find me a room that worked. They gave me four options, and showed them to me, and allowed me to pick the quietest one. Note that I stayed there during the Eid celebrations and the room I settled on was wonderful- couldn't hear a thing (but had to sacrifice the view). Also, there was a day when it was raining and they gave me an umbrella to use. They also helped me with information to book excursions directly through them which made it much easier to pick what to do, and they were really clear on what was expected of me. The hotel is still under construction so many of the amenities are new (like the pool and gym) and some are not open yet (the bar). Right now, they've got rooms till the 9th floor, but the hotel is set to go up to 23 floors. They were also under construction while I was there, but I heard absolutely nothing. The view from the bar (it's fully furnished, just not a functioning bar) was spectacular, as it's got really comfy seating overlooking the ocean. I especially loved the gym. The lifts are also super fast and the location is close to loads of places to eat and shop. Their major mall is about 5-10 minutes away in a cab. Also the WiFi was great- fast, no lagging- wonderful!

Easy access to Pasar Filipin just across the road. Near to other tourist attractions, eateries. Magnificent views of sunset. Near to pasar basah but no worries, the smells only reach you at the parking area. After all, it’s out of the hotel’s control right? Once you step into the premises, they welcome you with the pleasant atmosphere. Really enjoying our stay here.
