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 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/776E78D33F1AB87C92BD23A36F5AD7C13C64AE431699073663007.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7DA02E3FAE38B2CC8F297683E51A99A9381E53541699073662283.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/90D80760129B0300D8585F09DE2445124F1D49A41699073662035.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8C02DBE7B3B13258BCD13EF15532DE413F9D31141699073662840.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### IN HOE Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian Dec 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Room renovated to a very high standard. 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. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helena Feb 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort My boyfriend and I stayed at AC Residence first one night when arriving to Kota Kinabalu and then one more night when returning to Kota Kinabalu after some days in Sandakan. The rooms have great standard and with all amenities you can need. They’ve really thought about what you need when traveling. The staff are super helpful with quick response time over WhatsApp. They stored our luggage during our trip to Sandakan and it stood waiting for us in the room when we checked in again - so appreciated! Highly recommended and VERY affordable living in Kota Kinabalu ##### Helena Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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? ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 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. ##### Michelle Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Sean Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean room but no lift Pros Central location Responsive staff regardless the time Very clean room Cons I was staying at top floor. There's no lift.
