Mercure Kota Kinabalu City Centre

10/10 Excellent
"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 "
