Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu

Great location, decent stay at Promenade Hotel Stayed at Promenade Hotel and overall, it was a pretty good experience—especially for the location. It’s close to the popular seafood spots and just next to Bataras if you’re keen to shop for local supermarket items. We also walked to Imago Mall in about 15–20 minutes. Was told it’s also near Centrepoint, though we didn’t walk there ourselves. Surprisingly good souvenir shop at the lobby Don’t miss the souvenir shop in the hotel lobby—it’s quite affordable, even cheaper than what you find at tourist spots. Worth checking it out first before shopping elsewhere. Breakfast and Rooms Breakfast was decent with some variation daily. We booked both the Superior Room and Junior Suite. • Superior Room: Faced old buildings and the sunrise. It fits 3 pax but felt a bit tight. • Junior Suite: Faced the sea and had a nice sunset view. We requested the third bed to be placed here instead, and it was nicely arranged. Rooms came well-equipped with essentials like toothbrushes, shampoo, and soap. Facilities & Tech Unfortunately, the swimming pool and gym were closed during our visit. TV had basic digital channels (DTV) but no Chromecast or smart features—an upgrade here would definitely help modernize the stay. Overall Comfortable and convenient, though the hotel ambience is a bit dated. Still, for what you get, it’s a solid stay.

The location is good and easy to get transportation. Breakfast is good with a lot of varieties
