There are so many lodge and pension house in Kota Kinabalu and I chose City Park Lodge because of the good location, good reviews and affordable price. City Park Lodge is situated in the heart of the city; everything that you need is within the area, there is convenience store, shopping mall, money changer, café, market, fast food and even historical landmarks.
We went to Jesselton Point, Seri Selera, Gaya Sunday Market, Atkinson Tower and other places simply by walking and we were able to save money because of this, a short taxi ride will cost you RM20. They do not use meter in Kota Kinabalu though they have meter gadget on their taxi.
City Park Lodge also offers free internet access and free coffee and tea, so do not forget to bring your mug. You can avail their airport pick up service for RM30. I was shocked when I saw the owner of the lodge waiting for us at the airport. His picture is in their website so I easily recognized him. The owner and the staff are all friendly and approachable; I even ask them for directions.
