Got same room like in this picture. So far everything is well. Clean, complete facilities and got qiblat label for pray but not all the lights is working. Need to be careful if bring your children because the furniture mostly from glass and the parking area is not free.

Highly recommended in Kota Kinabalo cheap, Clean and modern, has laundry area just bring your detergent. Good for long term if you’re always out this is no window hotel. The room is good for 3 people the bed is spacious and it has other extra bed which made it more space in the room. The staffs are nice theyre helpful and always ready to help whenever their helped needed. It’s easy to check in you just need to message them via WhatsApp they have their number in the details you will see it after you will book the place. Message them in advance before you arrived atleast a day or hour. Don’t go there without messaging them because they have no lobby. They will send via WhatsApp on how you self check in. The building has a mall so it has restaurants local and western, other asian restaurants, bar, has convenient store, bakery and many more. Imago is just less than 10 mins walk Hospital is just a walking distance too 📍Sutera Avenue | Homi Breeze
King Park Hotel Kota Kinabalu
4.4/520 Reviews
City Center
This is our second stay at king park, last trip was about 7 years ago. We feel very welcomed by the friendly staffs, the hotel is quiet, clean and cosy, the overall service and stay quality is maintained well as per our last stay, we are happy with it. We also love the breakfast buffet, it has improved from the last trip, simple yet very delicious. The only part we would like to bring out is the shower water will spill over to the toilet bowl area, hope this can be improved. The hotel is within 5-10min walking distance to ***a street with lots of nice eateries, or you may take grab which cost only RM5.

The location is great. Very tidy and lovely apartment equipped with everything you need. The only bad side is one of the single bed's spring mattress is not in a good condition. Nevertheless, we had a great stay!
