We had an excellent stay here, with two teenage children. We booked the three-bedroom suite. It had a wide common area, and two large bedrooms (and one much smaller one) plus three (!) bathrooms. Whole unit was very spacious and comfortable. Highly recommended for families with older kids. Nice rooftop pool. Hotel staff were friendly, good breakfast, and the location is also convenient - within walking distance of Suria Sabah mall, the new jetty, the waterfront, and Gaya street market. Whole family enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Central located hotel

This hotel is beer centrally located - the drive to the airport was average 20 mins; the Suria shopping mall is a 3-5 min walk and the boat docking port to the islands (gaya island; Sapi island etc) is also 5 mins walk. The staff were always really nice and smiling. The breakfast was definitely fresh and varied. I would recommend staying here and booking the sea view room.

The room was clean and comfortable with the two for drinking water a huge benefit. The breakfast buffet was good quality with a good mixture of local and western foods. Eggs cooked to order was a huge plus too. The rooftop pool and restaurant were lovely in the evening when the sun was setting. I ate here twice and the quality was great and staff very friendly

Mercury hotel Kota Kinabalu

Hotel is conveniently situated in the city centre. A short walk to the harbour and markets, restaurants, and a shopping mall. Rooms are spacious and has everything a traveller might need. As with most hotels in Malaysia, it needs some housekeeping attention and maintenance.

The hotel is located in a busy area with lots of dining options. It's steps away from the ferry port which takes you to the surrounding islands. I found the staff less helpful compared to other SE Asian countries, things like not helping with booking tours. Little things like not greeting you when you walk by the front desk, but that really was not an issue, just a noticeable difference from other places. Overall, the hotel is good and i would recommend a stay here.
