Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu has an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, a restaurant and bar in Kota Kinabalu. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The property is allergy-free and is set 1.1 km from Filipino Market Sabah. The property looked brand new, everything was spotless. We got upgraded so ended up with a massive room that had a mini walk in closet, and a huge lounge and sitting area. Such a shame that we were only at the Hyatt for 12 hours (just overnight to catch an early flight out the next day) but everything was wonderful. I would stay again in a heartbeat
