The facilities were okay but the pool was very nice. We had no hot water in our room. We switched it on and waited for 2 hours but nothing. There were ants everwhere as well. The lady that met us out front to show us in was very good though and we appreciated her assistance.

The apartment is more comfortable than the hotel. First, there is good air circulation. Second, there is space for children. Third, they can cook by themselves. It is very convenient for shopping and grocery shopping. You need to swipe your card to come in downstairs. There are two doors without worrying about safety. The aunt has a friendly cleaning attitude. There is a bar street on the opposite side of the apartment, and you can watch the sunset. It rained that day and the burning clouds after sunset were so beautiful! NaNa people are very nice, we can check out at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on our plane at night, and also printed out the information for us, which is very recommended!

I recently stayed at Mercure Kota Kinabalu, and my overall experience was a mixture of positives and negatives. The hotel's ambiance and service were generally acceptable, but a couple of aspects left me with a less than perfect impression. On the positive side, the room, although not the promised city view, was comfortable and well-maintained. The amenities provided were standard and met our basic needs for a short stay. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, adding a pleasant touch to our overall experience. However, one notable drawback was the discrepancy in the room description. Despite being assured of a city view, we were assigned a room overlooking the opposite facing the busy road. While this may seem like a minor issue, it did impact our overall satisfaction, as the promise of a particular view was one of the factors influencing our choice. Another inconvenience was the lack of dedicated parking facilities at the hotel. This meant that my husband had to purchase parking coupons daily, adding an unexpected expense to our stay. Moreover, the strict enforcement of parking regulations by 8 am posed a challenge, especially for guests who preferred to start their day later. In conclusion, Mercure Kota Kinabalu is a decent choice for a short stay, offering comfortable accommodations and friendly service. However, potential guests should be aware of potential discrepancies in room assignments and the absence of on-site parking facilities, which may affect the overall convenience and cost of their stay.

I didn't eat breakfast, but I can cook by myself. It is very suitable for families with children and can wash clothes. It is also very close to the city. Grab calls a car for about 5 MYR to the city center. There is also a small swimming pool on the roof where children can play in the water. In the morning, you can hear the chanting, which is very interesting. Good quality and cheap, recommended 👍

It’s a large community. There is a swimming pool. There is no breakfast. There is a shopping mall. It’s imago. The Sunday market is about 3 kilometers away from Tanjung Aru. The sunset is about 4 kilometers away. The suites for our five girls are very good and spacious, with three bedrooms and two bedrooms. Weiyi living room with kitchen terrace is great

Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Not to mention the great location close to night market and all convenient things like pharmacies, the mall, etc. Right on the waterfront so you get a pretty nice view from the Infinity pool, proper modern gym, and amenities. There is an organic coffee place in the bottom, which is fantastic. Very good value for money of all the places I’ve stayed on my six week trip probably one of the top in terms of overall attention to detail and positive attitude all around.
