I had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this place! It's conveniently located close to the city center, making it easy to explore on foot. There are plenty of great restaurants and food options nearby as well. The host was especially kind and extremely responsive. I’ve never experienced such hospitality before. Overall, a fantastic experience!

AC residence isn't what you expect from your normal hotel stay. There is no hotel lobby, there is no reception as it's located on the third floor of shophouses. However don't let it fool you! We arrived after midnight due to flight delays, yet when we messaged the property, we were immediately welcomed at the door. Once inside, we were shown to our room which was pleasantly quite spacious! It was simple but yet so cosy. The room was also really clean and tidy. Getting around was quite easy as well. Located in between Suria Sabah and Imago Shopping Mall, we didn't need to walk far to both places. The best thing about it was the service we received. Need 2 bottles of water, BAM, we received 4 in the next minute. Communication via whatsapp was prompt and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay here.

8/10

Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The recent renovation works have been completed to a high standard, using high spec fixtures and fittings. Very good location for local amenities, restuarants, shopping malls, etc. The only downside is being located on the 2nd storey, as we had several suitcases. However, the owner was very helpful in carrying the cases up the stairs.

Very convenient to local mall shopping. Outstanding decent-size room with marble floors. Many amenities provided. Best deal in town!

Good location in a lively part of town. Close to the waterfront. Great attention to detail from the staff. We would stay there again!

10/10

The staff were very helpful and kind, the rooms were really nice, cozy and comfy. Given the price this is a clear 10/10.

This is a great place to stay alone. People in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia are so friendly. Especially the hosts are really nice. This is a place I want to stay again next time I go. The location is great so you can walk to most places. I recommend taking Grab. Because the weather is very hot Stayed 4 nights alone It's a really nice accommodation See you again AC Residence

Actually, I didn't expect it because I made a reservation in a hurry, It was really satisfying. The staff members are very kind. The room was very clean and the bed was nice. I'm very satisfied with the price, and I'm willing to revisit.

Advantages: This was a great experience, the room was comfortable, the TV service and electric curtains were excellent. Another advantage is the excellent location, quiet and convenient. Suggestions: It would be nice to have a shelf in the bathroom. Additionally, during rainy days, there were many ants that crawled into the wall joints of the air conditioner and got stuck in the cracks of the tiles, could there be an ant nest here?

I liked that all the light switches are touch pad. The bed and pillows are comfortable. Feels like at least a 4-star hotel. If have lots of luggage, the climb up the stairs to second story might be difficult for some people.

8/10

The mattresses were too soft. The rooms are on the 3rd storey and there's no lift. But on the other hand, staff are friendly and responsive, the rooms are clean and there are many eateries nearby and it's walkable to the night market and to a shopping mall.

Pros Central location Responsive staff regardless the time Very clean room Cons I was staying at top floor. There's no lift. Window cannot be opened We could not open the blind because people on street can see straight through -this can be sorted with frosted film
