Great Experience of my life!”

Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu Hotel is a great hotel to stay! Close to the mall and water, and nice staff members. All of them were very professional and respectful. They always try to help you out whenever you need one. For instance, finding a taxi rider for you to get to the airport. The day we had to go to the airport, we were short with money and we were running short with time so we couldn't go to the bank to get some money out. So instead, one of the staff members help paid our taxi ride. Very nice of her!

A Place Felt Like Home”

as a business traveler, cititel express has all the basic facilities that i needed . the ideal location of the hotel to all my business destinations, made my daily travelling a pleasure and thus reducing lots of work pressures. after a tiring day of work, coming back to the hotel is just like coming back home, the clean and comfortable bed simply made the day . a good night sleep is what we get with a harmonious enviroment around the hotel. the staffs are helpful and friendly. the view from the room is excellent and puts you at ease even at times of stress. i would strongly recommend that cititel express is just the right place to stay for business dwellers like me.

Worth the money Hotel”

Primarily we had a great time at kota kinabalu... cititel express is definitely worth the money, very clean and accessible... staff at the resturant are so accomodating, they went out of their way to make us feel at home... we are grateful to the ones who helped us before we left for our flight going back to the philippines, something happened and they allowed us to stay at the hotel for a few hours for free... probably 2-3 hours. :)

Pleasant, Clean and Strategically located”

Each time we traveled to Kota Kinabalu, we often book a room at Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu Hotel. Not only the hotel was accessible to shopping malls and restaurants, it was also a value for money and always clean (very important in my opinion). Though the room was quite compact, the fast complimentary Wifi in our room is a new major perk! My only gripe during our latest stay is that private parking space was often full and occupied at that time. Perhaps it was due to Peak season? Hopefully the hotel will do something about it in the future. Perhaps upgrading the space provided? Overall, we loved our stay at the hotel :)

Best choice for budget hotel”

We have totally 8 persons (3 couples and two friends) staying at Cititel Express in Kota Kinabalu. All have good comments about the hotel for its centrally location, clean and tidy rooms. It is centrally located and close to local restaurants and shopping areas. It is also 10-15 minutes' walk to the waterfront and Philippines market/handicraft market. It only take about 15 minutes from the airport to hotel. Last but not least, it is economical for budget travel.

Nice hotel!”

Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu Hotel is in the middle of town, easy access to almost every where. The hotel room is clean, although the room size is a bit small, but it has all the basis facilities. There are many food stores around the hotel, recommended for traveler who looking for budget and clean hotel in Kota Kinabalu.

Affordable hotel with clean, relatively new rooms”

me and my friend were in kk for four nights where we stayed in promenade hotel for the first night. we decided that the price we paid for promenade was not worth the cost so we moved to cititel express. out of the hotels we compared in kk (trust me, we looked at a few), cititel stood out to be one that was the best choice at the affordable cost. room is quite small at this price point as the beds would occupy most of the space of the room already. but that was not a concern for us as we only needed a place to sleep at night. we were out during the daytime anyway. all in all, i would highly recommend staying here.

Great Hotel”

I was have an wonderful trip at Cititell Express Kota Kinabalu Hotel during my stay at KK. Clean roonm and friedly staff is the important point that make me stay with this hotel.

Great location, great service”

It was a really comfortable stay. The service is great and the staff were really professional. I'm not too happy because they didn't let each room have a kettle. But on each level, near the lift, there's a water cooler if you need water hot, warm and cold. The ironing facility is also located at the same place. So, all is good I think. The hotel is located near lots of restaurants and food court. My favourite was Fook Yuen which served halal economy food. Nearby is also the Guardian pharmacy/health n wellness store if you need toilettries or drinking water. The hotel is located in the CBD and it's around 15minutes walk to Wawasan Plaza public bus terminal, if you're a fast walker. At the bus stop opposite Centre Point, you can also take City Bus for 50cents, a loop bus service that takes you along the CBD/waterfront shopping complexes. The loop service covers the are from Wawasan Plaza bus terminal till the Suria Sabah shopping complex. From Suria Sabah, Jesselton Point is less than 5 minutes away and Jesselton Point is the jetty where you can take boats for day trips to Manukan Island and other islands for very affordable rates. I really enjoyed my stay at Cititel Express. I'd definitely recommend it to all my family and friends.

Excellent location to food & shopping!”

Love the location. Immediately outside the hotel are food. We were blessed to have the Ramadan food stall event from popular local restaurants. There is a big seafood place just 1 street away which open till 2am. We dined there 3 nites consecutively from 3 different well known restaurants. The seafood variety and freshness of seafood from Kota Kinabalu is 1 of the best in Asia. Cheap and absolutely yummy. Will stay at Cititel again.

Great stay. enjoy enviroment, friendly people”

Our stay at kota kinabalu Cititel express hotel is ok, the staff are friendly and attentive. the room are clean because we occupied 2 rooms. However , we have issues on the 6th Floor, because every time we get in the room the building is shaking. i ask the staff to check why but they dont give me feedback about that. At first i thought its just spring on the foundation of the bldg. to protect from earthquake. but the staff said no. hope they know the reason why.

Great value hotel in KK”

Basically, very happy with my stay in Cititel Express KK. Shower was perfect, powerful water pressure and good flow of hot water. I didn't pay the room with breakfast inclusive so didn't eat there. Location was convenient, hotel was clean, staff friendly. Ample free parking right infront of hotel. Easily can book the ehailing transport. The seafood restaurant, Aki, which is just next to it served great food with friendly staff. Definitely will consider staying again. Well, the std room is equipped with queen bed so just nice for 2 pax....can't fit more pax or extra bed -- can't ask for more as room was <RM100 per nite.

Cititel Express Hotel”

It is located in downtown kota kinabalu and easy assess to ererywhere in city ceter area. The price is quite reasonable. Their check-out time is 12; therfore, you won't be in a hurry. The only weakness is its small room. Generally speaking, i enjoy my stay in Cititel Express Hotel.

a nice hotel with reasonable rate”

We had a great stay at the Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu. The room is not big, but it's comfortable, clean, and every basic thing u need is provided. There is a free private parking for hotel guest which is very convenient for us who have rented a car because we could go in and out from the hotel as many times as we wish to. And the best thing is, the famous Welcome Seafood Restaurant and Fook Yuen Cafe is located next to the hotel(in Asia City Complex)! The only down side of our room is the sound of the air-conditional system is too loud and noisy which affected our sleep a bit.

Great Value for Money”

I stayed here for two nights after 4 days of diving in Kota Kinabalu. The hotel is not ideal location if doing diving because it is far from the jetty and dive shops. However, anything else, it was perfect. The seafood market was one block away, which was a foodie's paradise. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within a short walking distance. The Taiwanese restaurant just opposite the lobby entrance next to hotel was superb. The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was a luxury compared to my previous hotel, but doesn't break the bank. It's perfect for those who do not plan to spend much time in the hotel room. Was very quiet, great views, and the bed was comfortable. Nice walk in shower that was a western standard, so the bathroom floor wasn't flooded. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to spend just a little more for the quality.

Lovely hotel”

i had a transit flight to taipei and i had chosen cititel express kota kinabalu hotel to stay. i was first greet by the friendly attendance from the hotel and wait to check in. the room is quite small but overall is clean and comfortable. i had chose the sea view room and its refreshing once woke up in the morning. i will recommend this hotel to others.

Clean and nice hotel”

Cititel express is a clean hotel and I noticed that the hotel upgraded my triple room to four person room. The room is big enough for 3 of us and the room environment is great and the bed is soft and comfortable. The location is quite ok and nearby got a lot of food stall to try for it. The hotel also provide free parking for my rented car, just go to the reception counter to get a chop and you no need to pay for it. The hotel breakfast cost RM18 so far is ok for us for the simple morning breakfast and some local food.
