Mercure KK: Superior Twin Room (no view)

At RM160/night, this was a real deal! Mercure KK’s location is truly perfect for excursions on foot and exploring KK city centre. Near Gaya Street Market, Jalan Dewan cafes and bars, Suria Sabah shopping mall and the Jesselton Jetty, this hotel really is strategically located! They have a number of offerings and this was the most economical. The beds were great and the room has pretty much all that travellers need. We had a welcome drink at the poolside bar too! The layout of our room however was a little strange, with the tv facing a blank space. There was not sofa or bed that would make watching TV an activity of choice. The beds actually face the bathroom/wash area and the frosting is pretty light. We overcame this by facing the wall while one of us was showering 😂 The open space between the washroom door and the ceiling gave opportunity to share ‘sounds and scents’ from within 🙈 Such a layout seems to be common in newer hotels and may be a bit of a challenge for friends or colleagues travelling together. On the bright side, it does break the ice and forges deeper camaraderie 👍 Location: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Value for 💲: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amenities: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #wecreate #kotakinabalu #accorhotels
