Very nice hotel conveniently located in center of downtown KK. Walking distance from street markets, malls, beaches, mosques, and waterfront port areas. Room was clean and everything from water bottles, towels, and sheets were changed daily. TV had many channels in English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Malay, etc. Breakfast buffet was different everyday and served delicious local dishes including freshly brewed coffee from the cafe. Security and front desk 24/7 made us feel safe during our entire stay. Lobby staff member Mr.Genesis was extremely helpful and kind who paid the highest attention to hotel guest needs and questions about Kota Kinabalu. Thank You Cititel! Looking forward to staying again in my next visit.
