"This room looked good in pictures, however the place was dirty. The shower wouldn’t stay on. There were cockroaches. This is a run down and noisy place. "
Citadines Waterfront Kota Kinabalu
Citadines Waterfront Kota Kinabalu"We stayed for one week and the room was very comfortable. The breakfast included was worth the extra fee. 24/7 Gym and laundry services available. Infinity pool was relaxing and has a great view of sea. Citadines is a popular meet up spot. We went on two tours and they picked us up right outside our hotel. There is a restaurant, massage spa, burger king, cafe and lemon tea shop in the same building."
"Amazing place. The breakfast downstairs is so good. They need to redo the photos for the apartments as it’s loads better than it looks on the site. Great location. Night food market just outside and a great mall next door. Highly recommend."
"Very nice room. Excellent breakfast one of the best we've ever had in a hotel"
