Hotels met Breakfast in Sabah, Malaysia

Ik kom voor werk naar KK, een eenvoudig hotel met een goed ontbijt, qua prijs zou ik zeggen. Gelegen vlakbij het stadscentrum, met restaurants in de buurt, maar voornamelijk westerse gerechten plus KFC en Bask Bear. Oud hotel, verwacht niet veel van het meubilair in de kamer, maar ik denk dat dat prima is zolang het goed onderhouden is. Alleen de douche heeft geen douchekop. Pardon my English, bedankt.

Het hotel ligt midden in de drukke wijk van het stadscentrum. Alles is dichtbij. Het ligt ook aan de kust, vol met toeristische plekken. De kamer is zeer schoon. De medewerkers zijn allemaal vriendelijk en het eten is zo goed. Ik heb genoten van mijn verblijf in dit hotel en ik zou iedereen aanraden dit hotel te proberen als je naar Kota Kinabalu komt.

I booked this hotel for one night. The location is not very convenient as there aren’t many food options nearby, but it is quite close to the airport. Due to our flight timing, we arrived at the hotel earlier than usual. We understood the official check-in time, so we politely asked if there was any chance of checking in earlier. If not, we were willing to wait, we only hoped they could let us know once a room became available. There were two counters. We were initially at the second counter (one next away from the 1st counter), but the receptionist asked my husband to move to the first one. No issue, we moved over as instructed. During the check-in process, the male receptionist repeatedly asked whether I booked online. I answered yes, yet he asked the same question again. Since he already had my IC in his hand, I expected he could see the booking details in the system. I honestly didn’t understand why he kept repeating the same question. I then politely asked if we could get a room earlier should there be any available. Instead of responding in a friendly or helpful manner, he kept repeating, “Our check-in time is 2pm,” more than three times over our check-in process. We clearly understood the check-in time, but his tone and attitude were not friendly at all. A simple “If we have a room available, we’ll try to arrange it for you” would have been enough, but instead he just repeated the same answer without any consideration. On top of that, both receptionists, the male and the female were chatting and laughing among themselves at the counter in front of guests, which felt quite unprofessional. Still, we were thankful that we eventually managed to get our room at 12:35pm. Overall, the experience was disappointing and lacked basic hospitality. I’ve been travelling and staying in different hotels, and I’ve never encountered service this unfriendly before.

Overall, the stay was okay and met basic expectations. The facilities provided were reasonable considering the price, so it’s fair not to expect too much. However, cleanliness—especially under the beds—needs more attention, as it was quite dusty. With better housekeeping in this area, the experience could be improved. That said, for a reasonably priced stay with adequate facilities, it is acceptable.

The location is excellent, making it very convenient to get around. The hotel itself is new, modern, and very clean, which made our stay comfortable. Although the buffet breakfast didn’t have a wide variety of choices, the food served was tasty and of good quality. Overall, it’s a nice place to stay, especially if you value convenience, cleanliness, and comfort. I would definitely consider coming back.

I had a wonderful stay at Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu. The room was clean, nicely designed, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax after a day out. Breakfast was perfect—delicious and satisfying, with a good variety to start the morning right. The location is excellent, right in town with easy access to shops, restaurants, and attractions. Overall, it’s truly great value for money. I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable stay in Kota Kinabalu.

Uitchecken bij The Palace Hotel KK en inchecken hier bij Ming Garden Hotel KK, Nou, Ming Garden is buiten onze verwachtingen, ik hou niet van kamer 923, geen uitzicht en privacy, zodra je de deur opent, zal deze direct naar ons bed wijzen , de netheid is niet gehandhaafd, er zit stof op de glazen lade, föhn werkt niet, tv geen kanaal en het is geen smart tv die u kunt verbinden met internet als er geen kanalen zijn, geen gezichtshanddoek, geen tapijt, slechts één handdoek voorzien voor de Deluxe Kamer met Kingsize Bed en u dient opnieuw een handdoek aan te vragen. Als je een auto hebt, is slechts één keer toegang gratis, voor de t****e keer moet je RM 5 betalen. Het ontbijt is zo, niet veel variatie, ze vullen de sappen nooit bij, ook al is het pas om 8.30 uur, maar het ontbijt is tot 10.00 uur . De netheid van het restaurant is ook twijfelachtig. Andere budgethotels zijn meer de moeite waard om te verblijven.

It was a very good experience. The rooms is clean and modern, the pillow is comfort, bathroom is so spcious, plus welcome drinks in the fridge once checked in. The staffs are always friendly and responsive. Lobby is well decorated, cozy feels like home with touch of artistic design. Surrounding is convenient, there are lots of choice of food, Chagee, 24hr convenience shop are downstair. Only 10-15mins drive to take speedboat to pulau. Only parking is about rm30 per day. No free parking.

I expected a great hotel stay and they delivered. All the staff were lovely. Thank you for that. My only issue is the lack of room information regarding what is available in the hotel. Normally I would expect marketing information and menus for restarunt and bar in the room. The TV does give room service menu but was not required. Fortunately we found Ben, the Concierge in the lobby who very kindly explained what we asked, and provided a map for the area. Very welcome. Thank you very much.

Although theree was an error on the booking system at my side...but they solve the problem easily by giving me a room with seaview..(seems to be an upgrade to me) the room is clean and the cleaner did their job really well too by adding more towel rather than change my towel...for the breakfast it's good, though the only problem is their drinks is bland...thats all
