Spent 2 nights in this hotel. The room is small, as other reviews mention, yet it's quite new and clean. The location is good, only 10-15 min. away from the airport and 5 min. walk to the famous seafood restaurant, didn't try the breakfast as there is a great coffee and toast place in 100m away. More

Stayed here for two nights. I choose this hotel because of its location and it offers the best value for money for a big hotel in downtown KK that has the closest proximity to the waterfront, Kampung Air night market, The dried seafood market and the awesome Sinsuran night market (next to the waterfront). It is located right next to... More

Spent 2D1N in Cititel Express KK. The hotel was very new, and was located at a new good location. Just next door got quite a nice bak kut teh (I think so, it smells good) and a nice coffee shop with very fresh young coconut. Like the security system in other cititel group, only the hotel guest can access to... More

We stayed in this hotel for one night as a stopover between flights. The room is small and double bed pretty much takes up the space of the room. The remaining space is taken up with clothing storage and a safe but that's it. There was a flat  screen tv to make efficient use of the space. There were two... More

I booked this hotel through the hotel website and stayed here 3 nights. One night in a single room as a layover to Sandakan and then two nights in a double room. Although quite small, the room was sufficient. It was clean, but had little room to place luggage off the ground. There is a cabinet where I was able... More

The hotel is centrally located and easy access to the major shopping complex and touristic area in town. The room are far too small, if you have big luggage to put on the floor, you would hardly move around in the room. Limited hotel facilities! However, for those business or single travellers, this hotel still can be consider BUT not... More

Probably the best deal in town. It's a decent basic budget hotel, RM102 per night for single room. Outlook smart modern tall colourful and can be seen at a distance. Yes, the room is rather small, yet, to me, it's already spacious as compared with that I saw in London/Brussels which is a joke. The toilet room and shower cubicle... More
