HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS KOTA KINABALU CITY CENTRE
Holiday Inn Express Kota Kinabalu City Centre holds a notable place in Sabah's hotel scene as the first IHG-branded property to open in East Malaysia. Set right in the heart of the city, it's an easy 13-minute drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport, and close enough to walk to the city's shopping malls, markets and main attractions. The hotel's 250 rooms come with a choice of twin or queen beds, while families can opt for rooms with a sofa bed that sleeps up to three, or connecting rooms if travelling as a larger group. Guests start the day with the Free Express Start Breakfast buffet, or grab something quick on the go, and can make use of the 24-hour gym, business centre, self-service launderette and a 12-person meeting room throughout their stay. For something more relaxed, SignalHill Coffee & Bistro sits just off the lobby, with an open-air veranda that looks out over Signal Hill's greenery, a spot as popular with locals as it is with guests. For travellers who want a comfortable, well-located base in Kota Kinabalu without the fuss, this is a hard one to beat.
