Believe the reviews you read here by creditable reviewers, not someone who lost their belongings and blamedthe staff. I have stayed 3 times now and the staff are the best I have encountered anywhere in the world. The club facilities are great and I would recommend. Breakfast is ordinary by asian standards, however this is more than compensated by extremely... More

Among all the hotels in KOTA KINABALU, I will say cafe Promenade in Promenade Hotel offer varieties of food in terms of Buffet and Ala cartes. Many people coming here to dine because it is value for money and a lot of choices of food and menu. You need to book in advance in order to get a table. Maybe... More

Please avoid Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu by any chance. Based on my personal experience during my stay at this hotel, they have poor service and dishonest staffs. I lost my belongings in my hotel room and I was 200% certain my belongings were there. After contacting the hotel multiple times, they insist they did not find my belongings in my... More

Basically, this is a good hotel. Basically clean and nice, comfy beds. I just have problem because there isn't a hose near to the toilet bowl, which would be a great convenience to Muslim travellers.

Go for upper floor rooms. We stayed at the fifth floor and the view was terrible. If swimming pool and wireless internet connection are your top requirement, better look for other hotels. The swimming pool was still under renovation. From my point view as a building construction contractor, it will take them another,at least, 3months to complete. With there room... More

The location is very strategic. It is very near to major landmarks, eateries and shopping centers. However, the some of the staff especially the concierge has certain air of aloofness in them. Their toilets are not functioning properly. After a request for a change of room, the same problem occurred. We have trouble flushing the toilet!

This hotel is centrally located in Kota Kinabalu and thus is quite popular among travellers. And it also because it is so popular that the whole place has a "tired" look and feel. It's ok as a place to spend the night while you are out and about town most of the day. Rooms are small but they are clean.... More
