Citadines Waterfront Kota Kinabalu

Location: The hotel is in a very good location, 5 minutes walk to ***a Street, there are many places to eat nearby, and there is a fruit market and a fish market opposite the hotel. Room: We booked a sea view room, the official room area is 26 square meters, but I didn't feel it when I went in. After entering the room, it was difficult to open the boxes, not to mention that we had three boxes. Because we were traveling with children, there were indeed a lot of luggage. However, because the hotel is relatively new, the bedding, toilet, and shower are very good and comfortable. The room also has a small balcony with a full sea view, and the scenery is very good. Service: The overall service is also very good, and the staff are very kind. There is a coffee machine in the hotel lobby, which will provide local freshly ground coffee for free. The taste is very good and recommended. Swimming pool: The hotel has an infinity pool with a great view. The children don't want to get up when playing in it~ Hygiene: The room hygiene is very good, but when it comes to breakfast, it is really a big failure of this hotel! We arrived at the restaurant at 7:30, and the dishes were not yet fully served. All the dishes were almost cold. I suspect that fried rice, chicken, etc. are all overnight. . . I told the waiter that the dishes were all cold. The waiter carefully tested the temperature with his hand, and then answered me very seriously, "It's warm." I couldn't say anything else, because if I said anything more, I would feel that I was nitpicking. . . But really, except for the boiled eggs that were just taken out, none of them were steaming. I thought, why don't I make some toast myself, so that it will be hot, but the toast hasn't been brought up yet. I walked to the bread machine, and there were small flies all around the bread machine. The hygiene was too scary. I looked carefully around the other dishes, and there were more or less small flies flying around them. I didn't dare to eat this breakfast anymore. In the end, the children ate some eggs and bread slices, and I drank a cup of freshly ground coffee in the lobby mentioned above, plus a boiled egg. The quality of this breakfast is too scary... It's not as good as the Home Inn Hanting in China. When I told my wife about this, she was quite tolerant and said, "Maybe it's because there's a seafood market across the street, so it's like this." Hahahaha Originally, I had a very high impression of Citadines and the entire Ascott hotel. This breakfast was very disappointing to me. I'll be more cautious when choosing this brand in the future.

When I checked in at midnight, the front desk guy was on duty. He immediately opened the door to welcome me and check me in. The hotel was clean and quiet (the loudspeaker at 5 o'clock every morning woke me up from my sweet dreams, which is inevitable anywhere in the city). The street and sea views outside the window were in full view. At night, I came back to the 6th floor to enjoy the outdoor infinity pool, and it was very comfortable to look down at the night view of the city and the sea from the pool! The Western breakfast was a little simple, and you had to tell the waiter to make an omelette in a room. The only regret was that there was no Chinese service, only English and Malay. Overall, it was a very pleasant and comfortable stay.

You can watch beautiful sunsets from the hotel's swimming pool. This is probably the main feature of the hotel, for which it is worth choosing this particular accommodation option. However, the area around the pool is poorly equipped, there are no sunbeds or chairs, so we had to leave towels and other things right on the floor. In the photo, the pool with sun loungers is separated by a fence, this is the territory of the apartments, which are located in the same building, it is impossible to get there. Also, the hotel is located opposite the Philippine market, so sometimes you can smell the specific smell of raw seafood. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the hotel is still undergoing construction work and can be noisy. The laundry didn't work. We booked a room that did not have a washing machine. We were hoping to use the laundry room, but it is still not ready for guest use. Otherwise, this is a pretty good hotel with a varied breakfast, good service and thorough cleaning.
