Excellent 4 star property. Staff are very froendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with a large variety to choose from.
Property was very clean and well maintained.
Pleasant hotel overlooking the ocean and close to the central area of KK. Attentive staff and excellent food choices within the hotel and surrounding area.
They were unable to give me the tool I booked (months in advance)
I had to settle with combining the 2 twin beds instead of my king bed
Other than that it was great the breakfast was amazing
Check-in was good and fast with such a friendly and professional staff. Room is just as requested. Only drawback is lack of switches for lighting which was replaced with digital push screen which doesn't seem to work resulting in a poorly lit room and caused inconveniences due to that. Prefer to have manual swtches for practicality.
I had a wonderful stay at Promenade Hotel KK and would like to especially commend their outstanding service. When my rental car broke down during my trip, the staff went above and beyond to assist me with the tapping out issue—something that could have been a real hassle without their help. I also truly appreciated how accommodating they were with my last-minute request for a late check-out.
The level of hospitality here is top-notch, and the warmth of the team really made a difference during my stay. I’d also like to highlight the hotel’s restaurant—the food was great, and I absolutely loved their home-baked pastries. You can really taste the care that goes into their kitchen.
Overall, an excellent experience. I’ll definitely be back!
Everything is good though but for the shower which flood terribly after every use. Maybe the drainage is blocked. Maintainance should look into it. The breakfast buffet is excellent though. I'd give it a four and a half star. Nice overall👍
Location - good and safe. Hotel door was a bit too tight so had to use a bit of weight on the door whenever we open it. There are 2 convenience stores opposite the hotel, around 3 min walk. Bedroom slippers, hair dryer and necessities like lotion and soap etc were provided. 2 bottles of mineral waters were being provided as well daily. Hotel room was clean, just a bit dark, could be brighter. Hotel breakfast was not the best, but ok, lots of variety. Parking was cheap, RM4 for 24 hours for basement carpark parking. Would stay here again if I am here!
The original check in time was 3 pm but i waited until 6 pm, they said the room is not ready.
I felt bad a little bit at first, but room was clean and the sea view was awesome.
There was a small problem that we could not flush toilet but it was fixed by the person in the hotel.
I like this hotel very much. The room is spacious for the 2 of us. The beds, room and corridors are clean. The hotel is still being upgrading but we are not affected in anyway. The upgrading has improved the ambience. Buffet breakfast is also good. The location is so convenient for walking to Imago mall and the waterfront. But it’s really too hot for walking. So Grab is cooler!! Also the staff at front desk is so helpful and polite. Recommended 👍
