Very nice clean hotel with great room size”
I was speaking at a conference in Kota Kinabalu, and stayed at the Hilton Kota Kinabalu while I was there. The hotel was great in all respects. The food was awesome, the room size was very good, the location was excellent and the reception staff were pleasant. I'd definitely stay at the Hilton Kota Kinabalu again.

Very Satisfied!”
Our room located same level and near the public swimming pool, hence, we experience loud noises coming from outside our room. It would be nice to have nice and quite stay next time. Otherwise the breakfast is excellent. The staff is courteous and friendly. Good tv choices programs, fresh towels and linens and 5 stars for cleanliness! Going to make Hilton one of our choices to stay in Kota Kinabalu next time.

Comfort and cozy”
Booked this hotel for my folks who had a short trip planned out to Kota Kinabalu. They’ve had a fantastic stay and a warm welcome from the hotel staff. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, breakfast would have to be delivered and taken in room. They loved it and had highly recommend the beef rendang for those looking to have a taste of Malaysian cuisines.

Second Time Staying at Hilton KK”
Hilton KK has everything that I expect from a 5-Star hotel. I stayed twice at this hotel and Hilton never fail to satisfy me. Rooms are big and very clean. Room service and housekeeping are very efficient. THE HILTON MATTRESS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!! The location is a bit off from the city center but on the hindsight, it provides you with a quieter environment compared to the hotels at the waterfront. The receptionist Farah (if I got it right) and the concierge Michael, were friendly and helpful. I'd HIGHLY recommend this hotel to everyone. See you next time when I am back in KK.

Helpful and friendly staff”
Hilton was a good experience. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. They ensured that their guests were not inconvenienced in any manner; always ready to help and greet you with a big smile. The location, albeit it being a little further away from central town, was still fantastic. Cleanliness was excellent, as expected from any Hilton hotel. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were quite spacious. Definitely will stay at the Hilton KK again.

Newly Hotel, Clean, Good Gym, Swimming Pool Design not so nice.”
Very new hotel near to the old shopping mall, the building external does not look nice but drop off area quite grand and the lobby interior still keep hilton standard. Many restuarants in walking distance but during hot day is a bit too far too walk. Gym 24 hours + good and new equipment with steam room and sauna. Swimming pool on the roof top but the design a bit disappointed squre pool, no trees, no view seem like the design team forget to pay attention to design this area. The roof top restuarant quite ok but a bit pricey. The room is big and clean with the king size bed for people who love big bed, pillow is soft type not the firm type. I like the rain shower and the fact that toilet and shower separated. For people who love soak in the water, there is no bath tub provide. The good thing of this new hotel, there is the usb charge 1 point each side of the bed side table and the room lighting control by touch switch.

Great for business travellers”
Booked this hotel for my parent's business travels. They’ve had a fantastic stay and a warm welcome from the hotel staff. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, breakfast would have to be delivered and taken in room. In general, pleasant and warmth. Thank you Hilton KK.

Hilton is the best choice, no regrets!”
Totally love the top notch service provided by staffs like Nazlina Syed who not only escorted me up to my room but also brought me a bucket of ice to reduce the pain of swollen ankle due to Mount K climb. The facilities in the hotel room were really the most modern I've seen with their 48 inch interactive tv :) Not to mention friendly staffs like Michael who shared with me about Hilton providing tour arrangements for guests! Thank you for the great hospitality!

Clean and Modern ”
Good attention taken to cleanliness during RMCO. Good value to money at this time. Room is nicely decorated and the bed very comfy. Bathroom clean and modern. There are a range of good restaurants close by which is helpful since hotel's grill bar restaurant is quite expensive. Location is good for business district, but a few blocks from the water front.

When we arrived around 4 pm at the hotel , our room was’st ready & had to wait another 40 minutes .So tiredly we sat on the sofa provided & waited with me trying to explain to the chlidren the unavailability of our room . However the wait was rewarded by Hilton by upgrading our room to a suite with acess to the private lounge!!! We had an enjoyable stay & the dining in menu was superb

Adequate hotel - staff service left a little to be desired”
City centre hotel. Bedroom was excellent and well appointed but the smart TV was challenging, however, the man who came to assist me also couldn't work it and had to telephone a colleague for instructions and help! When I ordered room service ( a delicious pizza), it arrived in a takeaway box with no plate, cutlery or napkins. Bedroom facilities good. Fantastic bed and fast Wifi. Breakfast was delicious and varied however, when I asked for a Cappuccino, I was advised this would be an extra charge. I recently spent a few nights in Hilton Kuching (half the price of Hilton KK) and no such issues. It seemed rather petty and I was surprised that cappuccino's are not standard offer as part of the breakfast. I travel a lot and I found it unusual to not be included in the breakfast. Staff - were grumpy and unpleasant re cappuccino and also when I contacted room service re the to ( I was asked if I'd switched it on as though I was an idiot!).

Hilton Kotakinabalu Hotel highly recommended”
I stayed in Hilton from May 12 to 16. Officials were so friendly and the facilities were clean. The breakfast was normal, but it was palatable. The location was about halfway between the Imago Mall and the Gesselton Point, making it easy to go anywhere in Kotakinabalu. Next time I visit Kotakinabalu, I will definitely find it again. Thank you, Hilton.

Thumbs up!”
A very great stay at Hilton kk. Staffs are very helpful and great customer service. Thumbs up to Mr Feizal, shift leader who gave us a great anniversary stay at the hotel. Great decorations and free anniversary cake for us. Location is great, famous seafood restaurant is just behind the hotel. Overall is a 5 stars service and hotel to stay in. Keep it up!

Nice new hotel”
Hilton KK is a really nice new hotel. Rooms are of a decent size, and furnishing is good. Our major disappointment was from the slow service. We had an issue with checking-in and the front office staff were very slow to help rectify the problem. In the end, we wasted 2 hours just waiting to get our room.

Consistent. ”
Everything that you would expect from a Hilton. The staff were extremely helpful, the rooms were clean and spacious, and the facilities were good. There was an excellent breakfast buffet with every taste catered for and a nice rooftop pool.The position is good and only a short walk from all the Waterfront area and various shopping centers. It was lacking in a bit of 'personality' but to be fair couldn't really fault the place.

Great Service and Great Location”
I have been doing a lot of business travelling lately. Sometime I fly in at odd hours and hence pain free check-in is extremely important to me. KK Hilton did exactly that. I am coming back for another stay tomorrow night.

Nothing special, but kind”
The Hilton KK was not so good than expected. Location is the best, but nothing more. Staff is very kind and feel treated. Breakfast is also nice. Many Chinese and Korean. If price keep same(about USD100-120) in the future, i can go there again.
