"I had a pleasant stay at Promenade Hotel. The location is very convenient right in the city center, close to shopping malls, waterfront attractions, and dining options. It’s a great base for exploring Kota Kinabalu. The lobby and common areas are spacious and welcoming. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained with all the basic amenities I needed. The sea view rooms are especially worth it for the sunset views over the waterfront. Breakfast offered a good variety of local and international options, though the restaurant can get quite busy during peak hours. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, and check-in/check-out was smooth. Overall, everything was good 😊😊😊"

"Checked in at the hotel at around 9.30pm. I noticed the air conditiong was kinda hot. But i thought to myself, I’ll give it some time run first. Maybe it’ll get better soon. Then an hour later, it was still hot, so i called operator, and she said she will send someone to our room. Waited about 30 minutes or more, still nobody came. I called the second time, and she said she’ll get someone to our room again. And that’s it, nobody came to our room, to help us with the air conditioning. And we were to tired to wait already. So My 8 month old baby sleept sweating that night and i had to fan him with the note book that they put beside the bed. Upon checkout, I complained to the receptionist and the manager about the incident, and they checked on their system that the issue had been resolved. Which was abvioustly a lie. So the manager said he will investigate the matter and he promised something to me. So i hope he keep his words. I’m a regular here, so i know there was something wrong with the air conditioning. I know the quality of the hotel. So let’s see wether the manager is serious about his words."

"The Hotel is located at the area with many seafood restaurants and it is also convenient to access to different shops. On the first day, we were given a room without views that made us very unhappy. Then they agreed to change it to better views. The sensor of the light control was out of order on the third day, but they could fix it on the same day. The staff of the Hotel would send messages to connect with us. It was very helpful Hotel. Their breakfast was really fantastic, we highly recommended it."

"Stayed 3 nights for RM1860 at Hyatt Regency KK for our anniversary. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t meet our expectations for a 5★ hotel. 1. Room details were unclear – I filtered for a bathtub but the room had none. 2. Despite emailing in advance, no small anniversary gesture was offered. Other hotels have given complimentary cake even for 1-night stays, but here only celebration packages were suggested. 3. Breakfast lacked variety – mostly the same dishes with only slight changes. 4. Reception service felt less welcoming compared to how they treated foreign guests. 5. Even after paying RM65 for a cake package, we were told it would be delivered the next day at 7pm, but it suddenly arrived just 2 hours after check-in. Very poor coordination between staff. 6. During check-in, I noticed a board at reception stating that guests checking in between Merdeka and Malaysia Day would receive F&B vouchers. It didn’t mention that this was only for bookings made via the hotel’s website or specific platforms. As a guest, this felt unfair and not transparent. Only the view is superb since we choose sea view. The value and service were far below expectation. Hope the hotel can improve, but I personally wouldn’t choose Hyatt Regency KK again."

"We stayed as a family of three with our 11-year-old child. The two 1.35m beds were perfectly adequate for us. The hotel boasts an excellent location with convenient taxi access. Just a short stroll away, you can find Da Jia Lai (a famous seafood restaurant) and Durian Fresh. The area behind the hotel is great for a walk and photos, with many boats visible on the water. There's also a market nearby. Gaya Street is about a 15-minute walk away. Overall, we had a very positive experience. They have Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk, which made the experience even better and the service excellent. We tried the buffet dinner once; it was decent, offering a good selection of dishes like lamb chops, salmon, scallops, oysters, grilled tiger prawns, and various desserts, all enjoyed with a nice view. The fantastic 8th-floor pool is perfect for kids."

Hotel near Kota Kinabalu City Center,Kota Kinabalu
Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu is the first Hyatt Centric hotel in Southeast Asia, offering intrepid explorers the ideal launchpad into Sabah and its abundant natural beauty and indigenous cultures with its prime location in the coastal city’s downtown area. Crowned with a double-edged infinity rooftop swimming pool, a duplex dining destination ON22 restaurant and ON23 Sky Bar with stunning sunset views, and a 24-hour fitness centre, the hotel features spacious guestrooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony overlooking the bustling city or lush green hills. Connecting guests to the heart of the action, Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu is within walking distance to shopping malls, local cafes, entertainment and the Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal from which guests can embark on island-hopping adventures. The Sabah International Convention Centre and Likas Sports Complex are a five-minute drive from the hotel, while the Kota Kinabalu international Airport is within a 15-minute drive.

"Hyatt Centric truly impressed! Upon arrival, the staff were incredibly welcoming, especially the young man from the baggage team. He not only helped with our luggage and stored it for us but also informed us we could check in at 1 PM (the usual check-in time is 3 PM), which was a fantastic perk. The hotel is centrally located, right across from a large shopping mall. Nearby, there are popular eateries like Fool Yuen and Xin Feng Bak Kut Teh, along with many restaurants catering to Chinese palates, and Sabah souvenir shops. The breakfast was extensive, offering a wide variety of options. I especially loved having breakfast in the morning with views of the sea and a clear blue sky. A taxi ride to Tanjung Aru during peak hours cost 35 RMB due to traffic congestion, but it was still convenient, and we even managed to check out the cultural wall. I would definitely choose this hotel again when visiting Kota Kinabalu."

"I was initially assigned to a room with a faulty air conditioner and a door lock issue. After informing the front desk, Audrey promptly offered us a room change, which we were satisfied with. Great sea view indeed. The location is excellent — right in front of the Pasar Besar Kota Kinabalu and within walking distance to the Filipino Market and Centrepoint. Tips: 1. if you wanna buy good pepper products, just cross the road and buy from pasar besar KK 2. If you keen to have the yellow wine (黄酒)stir fried tuaran mee , just exit from Citadines side entrance and walk about 150m , there’s a shop called 1978 , the have the best laksa and tuaran mee"

"Very satisfied. Very spacious and clean. The view of the city was very beautiful but a bit noisy at night because it is near the main road. I suggest those who want to stay here if you have a sleep problem please request a room that is facing the other way. Water supply no problem. The aircond is good. Functioning really well. There is also a space for smoking and my husband was very satisfied with that facility because almost all hotels that we go to didn't provide this space. The staff at the counter was very quick giving a response. Will repeat going here again someday."
