Hotel Capital Kota Kinabalu in Kota Kinabalu

I stayed alone for three nights, and the hotel's location is indeed very convenient. It's close to the pier and there's a 24-hour convenience store downstairs, which makes getting around and buying things very easy. This is its biggest advantage.

However, the room was ridiculously small. There was basically no space to even open my luggage on the floor, and this isn't even a Japanese capsule hotel. The 21 sqm stated on the platform is clearly inaccurate. I've stayed in chain hotels in China that were only ten-something square meters and felt much more spacious than this. Luckily, I booked a twin room, so I could put my luggage on the other bed; otherwise, I wouldn't know where to put it. The photos on the platform are also a bit misleading; the actual room is very different from what's pictured.

The front desk service was also pretty average. They only gave me one room card without any explanation for not providing two. Considering the price is indeed cheap, it might be acceptable if you prioritize convenience and don't mind a small space. But if room size is a concern for you, I'd advise choosing carefully.
