I stayed here for 3 nights upon reading a good review in Tripadvisor. For a 1st timer in KK, the area will set you off immediately, what with the old building, smelly side street & the slow moving traffic during the day (but quiet at night). Nevertheless, the location is really great, very near Waterfront where I saw the most... More

1st Time staying in this hotel. Below are some of the things i can share: Location - Just right at the center of the town. A sea front about 5 minutes walk with a local wet market perfect for local culture shopping & experience. Around the hotel you can find 24hrs KFC, local eatery, bars & clubs. The nearest shopping...

The rooms were fairly small and basic but decent and reception was organised and helpful - booked us a taxi for early morning which came on time. Surprisingly quiet - the street is busy in the day but the shops and simple eating places shut down at night and it is quiet. For the price, this is good value. Location... More

The room was tidy and clean. I love the free wifi and Astro Wah Lai channel which enable me enjoy the live show in Hong Kong! Location is good, near gaya street and malls. Hot water is not enough during 8pm, maybe too many people showering. More

Our first impression upon seeing this hotel was a shock, as the street it was situated in looked really dodgy, more of a dirty back alley than a street. However, once in the hotel, things were better. It was clean and quiet, with a tiny elevator servicing the three floors. Rooms were small, and our windows faced the shabby walls... More

Stayed here for 3 nights with family. Ideally located, close to shops, restaurants, night market etc. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. They helped arrange car hire for us at good rates. Room was clean, spacious and comfortable. We had a room overlooking the street but had no problems with noise. Would recommend as a good, low-mid price hotel. More

After spending a night somewhere not very nice, I looked at around 10 hotels in central KK. This was the best by far. Clean, modern rooms, convenient location, helpful staff. Extremely good value. They have a variety of rooms some of which are more spacious than others, so you might want to ask to see few. More

We (myself, wife, 8- & 5-year old boy) stayed at 1 City Hotel from 12-Aug (Fri) to 14-Aug-2011 (Sun) for 2 nights, in a family room at 3rd floor (end of corridor). It was our first trip to Kota Kinabalu & I spent quite a lot of time in choosing the right hotel within our budget & expectations. Well, we... More
