Holiday Inn Express Kota Kinabalu City Centre by IHG

Sherman at the reception made my stay perfect. He is phenomenal. He was the person that checked me in, addressed all my questions during my stay and was there on check out. Seek him out if you ever need a reliable person with reliable updated info in KK. My queen room was beaufitul, with amazing view of the forest, big, comfortable bed, everything is spotlessly clean, well equipped. The location was somewhat uncomfortable to cross the street with a busy aggressive traffic, but once on the other side, everything is within walking distance. Breakfast is ok, but don't expect anything elaborate. Overall, great value!

We loved our time at the Holiday Inn Express and even extended our stay. The whole package is modern, efficient, bright and welcoming. Though this is not a "Resort" hotel, no pool etc, it was perfect for our needs of a comfortable safe place to stay while going about our business of exploring KK etc. It had been especially good as we had relocated there from another booking in a nearby hotel which was a disaster, we walked out and forfeited our payment. So, Holiday Inn was a great comfort to find and we'd certainly stay there again.

I booked this hotel way ahead of time so the price I payed was suspiciously low. It made me a bit uncertain, but once I got there I was so beautifully surprised! This hotel exceeded my expectations- is seems new, fresh, immaculately clean. Originally designed bathrooms are a nice and elegant surprise. Beds are very comfortable and a choice of pillows gives you comfort at night. Breakfast is tasty and there is a lot to choose, mostly Asian style but this is obvious. Good coffee and „adventurous” Malay sweet section. We loved hotels’ restaurant - nice vibe, great outdoor part and menu with lots of delicious choices. Prices are really low - unseen in hotels of this quality. Definitely recommend both for food and drinks.

The room was clean and new. It totally surprised us as the room was considered quite cheap. Breakfast was included with a variety of food. The location is excellent. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would definitely opt for this hotel again in our future visit.

Since it’s new there are not much wears & tears!! The Bathroom door is of a cool design
