The hotel was well kept however, not to the fault of the hotel, the water line to the hotel was broken and there were no flush toilets working or faucets/showers. The resteraunts at the hotel was limited in selection but several resteraunts were available within walking distance. The staff was very helpful

I had a wonderful stay at Promenade Hotel KK and would like to especially commend their outstanding service. When my rental car broke down during my trip, the staff went above and beyond to assist me with the tapping out issue—something that could have been a real hassle without their help. I also truly appreciated how accommodating they were with my last-minute request for a late check-out.
The level of hospitality here is top-notch, and the warmth of the team really made a difference during my stay. I’d also like to highlight the hotel’s restaurant—the food was great, and I absolutely loved their home-baked pastries. You can really taste the care that goes into their kitchen.
Overall, an excellent experience. I’ll definitely be back!

The staff were friendly and professional. The restaurants were great. The location was excellent near to a huge shopping mall in the newer part of Kota Kinabalu and close to the seashore.
