I cannot fault this hotel at all. I booked this place fairly last minute for the CNY holidays - and obviously my first priority was to get the top rated places on TA - Rasa Ria, Tanjung Aru, and all the resorts. However, they were either fully booked, or extremely overpriced - RM1200 a night!!! This hotel was recommended to... More

The hotel is situated at the extreme south point of the promenade, this isn't such a big problem as a 10 to 15 minutes stroll takes you to the centre or a 2 to 3 minutes in a taxi. The hotel is generally quite good, the sea view rooms provides an excellent sun set. There is a small bar on... More

When you walk into the hotel lobby, it looks grand, with personal chairs and receptionist to greet you, but beware he seems not properly trained, when I book for 2 nights, he give me one with one breakfast coupon. You may have to repeat your words a few times because he is not responsive, strange behavior. So I have asked... More

When in Kota Kinabalu, I will only opt for Promenade when I couldn't get a room to stay at Le Meridien. Actually, there are no major complaints about the rooms here, as I usually will be given the type of room I requested - corner junior suite, sea-facing and preferably the higher floor. This room category is well-appointed, with comfortable... More

I was in town to dive and attend a wedding. I stayed at the Promenade Hotel for four nights just last week. The superior twin room that i took overlooks the Marina Court Condominiums (also owned by the Promenade Hotel) but you're able to catch a glimpse of the majestic Mont Kinabalu if the clouds disperse. If there's any specific... More
