The room was quite spacious and the environment was pleasant; it wasn't noisy at night either. Although the hotel front desk didn't offer full Chinese service, the staff knew a few Chinese phrases, so communication wasn't an issue. There's a convenience store and restaurants nearby, plus a BaWangChaJi. Across the street diagonally, there's also a large shopping mall with Chinese drink brands and Haidilao. Overall, I think the location is pretty good.

Very nice and clean environment!
My vacation was to celebrate my anniversary, and I mentioned it in my booking remarks. I honestly didn’t expect any special arrangement or surprise from the hotel, but they went above and beyond! Every staff member knew it was our anniversary and wished us warmly — from the Sky Bar to the dining area and even room service. We felt truly welcomed and appreciated. Excellent service and hospitality

The location is super convenient, right in the city center, and it's a sea-view room. I requested a higher floor, but still got the ninth floor. I also asked not to be near the elevator, and guess what? I got a room right next to it. I suspect my request wasn't understood. From the room, you can see the rooftops of the lower floors. Overall, it offers good value for money. The breakfast is abundant, and the front desk service is excellent; my requests were generally met when I called. The only minor issue was the TV being broken, but they sent someone to fix it.

Great value for money option. The hotel was very kind in acceding to my request for a good room allocation. The housekeepers and nice and take pride in their jobs. Everything about this hotel deserves a solid 4 stars at the time of writing. It’s actually a great hard product due to their recent refurbishment. I would say 70% of the room seems to have undergone refurbishment except for the bathrooms. But the whole room was spotlessly clean anyway. Air conditioning was very fresh and cold. No odors whatsoever. Service was lacking. The receptionist was visibly overwhelmed with work. Just Don’t open the room directory and expect them to provide the services in there in the biggest nonsense page I’ve ever seen in a hotel. You’ll be fine. I would say that i quite enjoyed my stay here despite coming in with little expectations.

Had a pleasant stay for a short business trip. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Amenities were complete, especially the gym which was convenient and clean. Location is also strategic with easy access to nearby restaurants and conveniences. Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free experience. Would definitely consider staying here again for future work trips.

The room was booked under my brothers name for his honeymoon since hes a newlyweds with a request for honeymoon decoration. However, upon arrival, the room had no decoration prepared.
If the hotel was unable to fulfil the request, the minimum expectation was to inform me in advance through email or any form of notice. No communication was given, which reflects a lack of attention to guest requests and caused unnecessary disappointment.

My first stay in Le Meridien and I was blown away by the physical features and the service. We stay there 3 nights in total over two legs
Special mention to Reazy (hope I got her name right) who served me when we checked in and out on our first leg. She was professional and warm! She had some good recommendations on food and was lovely to interact with. Compliments to Malcolm who welcomed us back when we return for our third night stay.
We were given a complimentary upgrade to a Sea view king room. We were so thankful as we could see then beautiful sea and sunset.
The rooms were very spacious and posh looking. The breakfast was great and offered variety. The location is the best!!
We would want to be back one day!

An entire entertainment complex that, with our corner room view, boasted an excellent sunset viewing location. The hallways are modern while the interior was more dated. The check-in counter staff should have also prioritised check-in guests over other guests that barged in line and jumped the queue to ask for other things, otherwise having only stayed one night, we did not have any other experiences of their service.

Nnolix orange1) Parking
very limited parking depan hotel dan sentiasa full. terpaksa guna parking mall dgn caj, tiada diskaun untuk penginap hotel. dari parking mall ke lobby hotel, tiada shortcut jln sblh dalam, keluar dulu mall baru dpt ke lobby. agak leceh bg penginap dgn barang yg byk lg. hrp pihak hotel dpt cari penyelesaian utk keselesaan penginap2 yg bawa kenderaan.
2) Katil
book deluxe king...tapi dapat 2 katil single yg dirapatkan...jd ruang lebih kecil dan ada celah di tengah...kurang selesa...
Overall, amenities okay, breakfast okay, kolam okay...good stay..jz pls improve on main issues above..
GGuest UserI recently stayed at this hotel with my wife and child for our vacation, and we had a truly enjoyable experience. Although the weather during our stay was mostly rainy and we only managed to spend one day at the water park and swimming pool, the hotel’s facilities more than made up for it.
Our child especially loved the indoor kids’ playground, which kept him entertained throughout the trip. The buffet breakfast was another highlight — delicious, with a wide variety of choices to suit everyone.
The hotel staff were all very friendly, attentive, and helpful, making our stay even more pleasant.
Overall, despite the weather, we had a wonderful and satisfying stay. Highly recommended for families!
EElizabeth Ong Hui LingService is excellent. Staff do not hesitate to help, always address travellers politely, and take the initiative to serve water, give suggestions, overall making your experience smooth and fulfilling.
Food is also very delicious — other reviews say the food is pricey, but I think it’s quite affordable and well worth the price.
Rooms are large, comfortable and well-furnished.
Will definitely be back!
MMaiyoI had a good stay at Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu. The cleanliness was well maintained and the location is convenient for getting around the city. The service was satisfactory and the staff were generally helpful. The amenities provided were also good for a comfortable stay. Overall, it is a suitable choice for business travellers looking for a practical and affordable hotel in a central location.

GGuest UserHotel is a little off from city centre, hotel providing shuttle bus but still a hassle to spend hours on road.
hotel is a perfect place to spend days with family and just chill. there are plenty of activities planned for kids to keep them busy. Discovery center and Water sports center provides activities with charges.
Due to the fact of by the beach, to maintain a perfect cleaniless is a challenge but hotel has done it well, very comfortable to stay in the room.
The staffs hospitality is what we like the most here, they are really friendly and usually initiate conversation with the guests.
AAnonymous UserThe island trip was truly unforgettable, the service was excellent, the staff were warm and welcoming, breakfast was a great experience thanks to the staff Anizah, who were attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist, the room was comfortable, every moment was filled with memories that will be cherished for a long time. And thank you to Arthur for always being helpful. Will come back again.

Positive Points:
1. Air-conditioning was very effective and kept the room comfortable throughout the stay.
2. Great window view – beautiful sea and jetty scenery that adds to the relaxing atmosphere. (see my attached picture)
3. Excellent location – conveniently close to eateries and the jetty, making it easy to get around.
4. Reasonably priced in-house food – offers good value for money for guests who prefer to dine in.
5. Complimentary extra bottled water was provided upon request, which was appreciated.
6. Friendly and helpful staff across all departments – from housekeeping, café, and maintenance to the front desk. Everyone was courteous and attentive.
7. Special mention to the chef – a very kind and gentlemanly person. On our first day, we ordered 6 fried eggs for breakfast, assuming they were included. The chef initially didn’t inform us of the RM2 charge per egg and kindly did not charge us for them. When we later tried to order again, he politely informed us about the charge. We truly appreciated his honesty and kind gesture.
8. very nice grilled meat at the roof cafe (5th floor).The promo price is 5 sticks for rm9.9 . worth to eat!

Areas for Improvement:
1. Limited breakfast buffet selection – mainly local dishes such as chicken, eggs, vegetables, rice, or noodles. While the food was tasty, there were no options like fresh milk, cereal, or egg station. Fruit choices were also limited to just bananas every day.
2. Window leakage during heavy rain – rainwater entered the room. However, the staff responded promptly and mopped the floor immediately.
3. No robe hooks in the bathroom – makes it inconvenient to hang clothes or towels.
4. Shortage of bath towels – clean towels were only available in the late afternoon after laundry was returned.
5. Extra blanket charge – an additional around rm50-60 was required if requesting one more blanket, which felt a bit expensive.
6. Low water pressure in the shower – the water flow was quite weak, making the shower experience less enjoyable.
7. Housekeeping quality needs improvement – there was sand in the room, and although we informed the staff, it was not cleaned properly even after the feedback.
Extra Tip for Travellers:
There’s no laundry shop in Semporna town, so do remember to bring enough clothes for your stay.
LLimThe only reason I stayed here was because of it location near to the airport. Everything else is good in terms of experience except I was imposed with liability costing RM10 for soiling one piece of their towel. The soiling happened because I walked outside after the rain and my foot got into a mud spot. I came back to my room and I accidentally stepped on the towel. Bear in mind, I had to book their largest room meant for 4 pax because that was the only one available even though I stayed alone. Considering the occupancy is low for that large room, soiling one piece of towel does not justify a RM10 liability damage.
