3-Star Hotels in Sabah, Malaysia

Excellent hotel! We booked a family room, which was really spacious. It had two large beds, a desk, a clothes drying rack, an ironing board with an iron, a kettle, and a fridge – everything you need. It was clean and newly renovated. The internet speed was good, and importantly, it was quiet, even though the hotel is right next to the night market. The location is also fantastic. We highly recommend it.

I had a really pleasant experience as a solo traveller. The service was excellent—staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The facilities were well-maintained and clean, which made the stay very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the amenities, which exceeded my expectations. Everything was convenient and easy to access. The atmosphere was relaxing and felt safe for solo travel. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay here again!

This hotel… TBH, I was expecting more. I knew this hotel undergo a rebranding and refurbishment. So I was excited to try the HoJo brand. The room is clean, but not new. Partially you still see fittings from the previous decade. It’s a funny thing to see new and improved features alongside the classic furnitures and appliances. I like the new filtered water faucet. Very convenient. The shower is great too. Good pressure and temperature. Comes with a bathtub. Bed is nice. Room comes with ironing board. Basically everything I would expect from a hotel. Then comes the disappointment. The mini bar is so bulky, and so old. the air cond control… I don’t know what is it controlling. There’s only one dial for temperature. No control for the fan speed or anything. Then the TV, small and a very old model, fitted onto the wall with backlight design. That’s just so funny. And the toilet, the flush is barely working. And cigarette smoke from somewhere is coming in via the ventilators. All things said, it’s still a value stay. I just find it extremely weird. A half-baked refurbishment.

The location is super convenient! There's a buffet, and right across the street is a night market on Saturdays and Sundays, plus a Sunday morning market. The beach is also nearby, along with tons of trendy cafes, Gaya Street, a huge mural, and even Suria Sabah and Imago shopping malls.

The hotel is quite close to Gaya Street, I think it's within walking distance. The front desk said they upgraded our room for free because there was an issue with our booked room, which was a nice surprise. The environment and bathroom were both pretty good, and the price was affordable, offering great value for money.

Stayed at Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu recently and had a really pleasant experience! ✨ The hotel is in a very strategic location right in the city center, making it super convenient to walk to nearby food spots, shopping areas, and attractions. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and nicely maintained after the renovation. I also appreciated how peaceful the atmosphere was despite being in a busy area. Staff were friendly, helpful, and check-in was smooth. Great value for money if you're looking for a comfortable stay in KK without overspending. Perfect for both business trips and short getaways. Would definitely stay here again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everything is good.. I booked junior suite for 2night room is big n clean, super nice view from room im love it

My first stay here and I think would be my last too. Was actually requested a quiet room but still giving the room which facing the contrustion site. Noise of the construction site was up to 10pm+ and 5am+ the prayer from the nearby mosque will make you jump! Impressive with the location but not the room. Furnitures in room quite old but still acceptable, but cleanliness and maintenance was terrible. 1) Water leaks out from shower room to walkway via the wall. 2) Old and dirty toilet with mold 3) Malfunctioning light bulb 4) Stains on the towel ( sticky like chocolate, like unwashed) 5) Ants on table & bed! 6) Loosen door lock 7) Dirty chair

Overall the stay was okay and the place was comfortable. The location is good. There's many food courts nearby and very accessible if you want to go to KK town. The main downside is the parking. There was no parking available, which was quite inconvenient. I think this is something that really needs improvement, especially for guests who are driving. Other than the parking issue, everything else was fine. It was a great stay except for the parking. Thanksss

The hotel was very clean, with no unpleasant odors. I especially liked the fresh scent in the hallways. Most importantly, the bathroom was clean. Overall, I was very comfortable and satisfied. The downstairs restaurant (Quarter) food also very nice.
