1 City Hotel

In the heart of downtown Kota Kinabalu, a budget-friendly city hotel steps from Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal, Gaya Street and KK Plaza. Minutes to the Esplanade, Imago and Suria Sabah, it’s a smart base for markets, marinas and island trips.

Choose from 41 air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, desks and daily housekeeping. Bathrooms feature showers and bidets, and rollaway/extra beds are available for a surcharge. Rooms lean practical and comfortable for short stays in the city.

Complimentary wireless internet in rooms and public areas, 24-hour front desk and 24-hour room service. Luggage storage, on-site parking, elevator access and a tour desk make getting around easy. Laundry, car rental and a safe-deposit box are also available.

Free Wi‑Fi keeps you connected, and the hotel’s lobby services include luggage storage and a 24-hour front desk. Compact, practical setup for brief business stays near downtown offices and shopping malls.

No on-site fine dining, but you’re steps from local flavors. Try nearby seafood and Chinese spots like Welcome Seafood, Fook Yuen and Kedai Kopi Yee Fung, or hunt down street eats at Api Api Night Food Market and Gaya Street Sunday Market.
