    “KK Waterfront Hotel: Business-Friendly & Well-Located”

    I stayed at KK Waterfront Hotel for a short business trip and found it very convenient. The location is great—close to food, shops, and meeting spots. Check-in was quick and the staff were friendly. The room was clean and comfortable with good Wi-Fi and a nice desk for work. I also enjoyed the sea view after a long day. Although there’s no business center or in-house restaurant, there are plenty of places to eat nearby. Overall, it’s a good choice for solo business travelers. I’d stay here again for my next trip to Kota Kinabalu.

    “recommended”

    The room is clean, the price is reasonable, and it’s close to the mall. I feel safe because the lift is inside. The staff are all nice, but the toilet was clogged, and the water pooled up when I took a shower. I hope the hotel can take action on this, because I will stay at this hotel again next time. Thank you.
