Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu has an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, a restaurant and bar in Kota Kinabalu. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The property is allergy-free and is set 1.1 km from Filipino Market Sabah. The property looked brand new, everything was spotless. We got upgraded so ended up with a massive room that had a mini walk in closet, and a huge lounge and sitting area. Such a shame that we were only at the Hyatt for 12 hours (just overnight to catch an early flight out the next day) but everything was wonderful. I would stay again in a heartbeat

Offering a bar and city view, ACJ Residence @ Beside Cititel Hotel is situated in Kota Kinabalu, less than 1 km from Filipino Market Sabah and 2.8 km from Sabah State Museum & Heritage Village. This apartment features free private parking, full-day security and free WiFi. The accommodation provides luggage storage space, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests. Amenities are great. They provide exceptional service and communication is top notch, the best I have encountered. Clean, comfortable and quiet. The lightings are switch on by touch. The Grab service would drop off sort of behind. That area in the morning is not accessible because of a myr$4 charge to enter for cars. Just walk to Takaful for pick up. At night, the boom gate is open. The foot bridge (10 mins) to the Waterfront near there too. Go to Welcome Seafood by crossing the road next to Nasi Lemak Kahwin and walk through the building to the other side.Great food and service. Watson is also across that road. Great to buy bottle water, medicine and toiletries.
