Kota Kinabalu City Center
I recently stayed at Mercure Kota Kinabalu, and my overall experience was a mixture of positives and negatives. The hotel's ambiance and service were generally acceptable, but a couple of aspects left me with a less than perfect impression. On the positive side, the room, although not the promised city view, was comfortable and well-maintained. The amenities provided were standard and met our basic needs for a short stay. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, adding a pleasant touch to our overall experience. However, one notable drawback was the discrepancy in the room description. Despite being assured of a city view, we were assigned a room overlooking the opposite facing the busy road. While this may seem like a minor issue, it did impact our overall satisfaction, as the promise of a particular view was one of the factors influencing our choice. Another inconvenience was the lack of dedicated parking facilities at the hotel. This meant that my husband had to purchase parking coupons daily, adding an unexpected expense to our stay. Moreover, the strict enforcement of parking regulations by 8 am posed a challenge, especially for guests who preferred to start their day later. In conclusion, Mercure Kota Kinabalu is a decent choice for a short stay, offering comfortable accommodations and friendly service. However, potential guests should be aware of potential discrepancies in room assignments and the absence of on-site parking facilities, which may affect the overall convenience and cost of their stay.

Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Not to mention the great location close to night market and all convenient things like pharmacies, the mall, etc. Right on the waterfront so you get a pretty nice view from the Infinity pool, proper modern gym, and amenities. There is an organic coffee place in the bottom, which is fantastic. Very good value for money of all the places I’ve stayed on my six week trip probably one of the top in terms of overall attention to detail and positive attitude all around.

The view from the hotel is ruined by the building site next door but it is reasonably priced for the area. Service was one of the poorest I’ve had in Malaysia apart from Gulam (Matt) who was a massive help for us to get to places we wanted to see. The staff at the upstairs pool didn’t want to be there and weren’t interested in serving, a smile is free and short snappy sentences don’t help in this industry- maybe some retraining is needed if this place wants to compete with the nearby luxury hotels. The express laundry service was difficult to arrange and I felt like I was putting a burden on them even though that’s their job. The breakfast was okay without being outstanding - again, the people making the breakfast looked like they were there because they needed to be. Without Gulam (Matt), this review would look a lot worse. This guy should be in charge of customer service lessons for this hotel. The room was clean and big but the view started straight into a brick wall of a loading bay. There aren’t maybe pictures as there wasn’t much worthy of taking one.

Had a very good time at this place. Staff is very welcoming and super friendly. Staff, all kinds of volunteers and other guests can always advise you on how to have a good time in KK. Variety of comfortable and cheap rooms, a lounge area to chill or watch movies and a cool reggea bar downstairs to have a good night. The Hostel is located in the centre of KK, everything you need and more is in walking distance (supermarket, convenience stores, delicious and cheap restaurants, night markets, filipino market at the sea, great thrift store). Can absolutely recommend and will be back!!

The hotel is located at the city centre, you can easily to find food and supermarkets by just walking distance. The morning breakfast cafe is full of guests during my stay, not easy to find a seat and breakfast full of variety choices but mostly repeat the same foods. Room cleaning can be improved especially the room carpet look bit dusty but the hotel provided the look slippers to wear in room that’s fine with me. One last thing, the hotel management should change the bath towel to new one as it look unpleasant for guests to use.
