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.
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.
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
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.
Why I booked this hotel is to join midnight trail run event held around Mt. Kinabalu. I thought that if I could return before checkout, I could take a shower and take a bit rest. I told that a reception, then she served for me (1)early checkin to take a rest and (2) later checkout to take a rest! I much appreciated.

The rooms are big and clean. Staffs’ service is good. Location of hotel is good. Breakfast spread is decent but the taste of food is underwhelming. Meat was overcooked, kuih is very sweet, bread selection tasted like supermarket’s. The jams are still in the supermarket’s bottle. Given the price per room, kitchen should attempt to make their own bread, jam etc. Teh tarik was super sweet and the black coffee tasted very diluted, esp once milk was added in.
