Hotel staff and facilities were excellent. The breakfast buffet was phenomenal—wonderful, personalized service from Encik Fauzi and the rest of the team and a wide selection of food options, including many local favorites!
The space was so lovely between the room, the lobby, and the facilities. The food and drinks at the restaurant were delicious, but special shoutout to the staff. Housekeeping was efficient and thorough, the other staff (especially those at the bar) were so incredibly professional and attentive.
We loved our stay at the Hyatt Centric. The staff and service were fantastic and I loved the swimming pool first thing in the morning when I had it to myself!
Excellent nights rest, fantastic service, great breakfast spread, and ideal location! My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Kudos to the staff for making this a memorable trip.
It was an amazing and pleasant stay with Hyatt Centric. Convenient walking distance to malls and shops. Always a go to go hotel whenever we go to KK. Good breakfast too.
Great place with All the mod cons, especially the rooftop pool which was really nice and the bar and all the facilities. The rooms were really comfortable and luxurious and a very comfy bed would thoroughly recommend.
Loved the swimming pool and the surrounding view from the upper floors of the hotel.
The room and the bathroom were very comfortable.
Reception and restaurant staff were great.
Will stay at this hotel again for the next Sabah visit.
Staff are smiling all the time. Amazing swimming pool on roof deck / bar. However, the pool should have a roped off section for lap swimming for adults and a kids area for fooling around. Too many kids who have zero etiquette loud parents made swimming in a sophisticated environment feel like bargain basement garage sale kinda place. Or adults only from 18:00 to close.
Great experience at Hyatt Centric! Staff were so friendly and nice. Did a nice set up in our room with a complimentary cake for our anniversary. Will definitely come back!

The staff went out of their way for me . Very friendly place
A well run hotel right in the centre of town. Very tasty a la carte food prepared well and a pleasant Skybar where one can also dine. We used as a transit base for one night. The immediate destination wouldn’t justify a longer stay. There are beach resorts further up the coast.
2nd time staying at Hyatt Centric - again, everything was excellent. In the midst of serving one after another guests, the front desk were patient and gave a smile - which means a lot. Keep up the good work.
