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.

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?

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.

Great Service!

The service here is top notch! Nice area with a local gym you can walk to and get a workout in for only 25 ringgit a day! They made my stay super easy with great communication and provided me with whatever I needed! I highly recommend this place!

매우 만족합니다.

일단 신발 벗고 이용이라 좋았고 이 가격에 이정도의 편리함과 서비스 제공 너무 좋았네요. 카톡으로 이것저것 꼼꼼히 체크도 해주시고 친절하고 좋았습니다. 다만 계단으로 오르내리고 해야하기에 가족단위는 힘들고 친구나 혼자 투숙시에 가성비 좋은 숙소를 찾는다면 굉장히 추천드립니다.

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. 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

性價比非常之高的酒店，獨遊亞庇的首選，聽我說，選AC Residence沒錯了，⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐之選！當天凌晨才到沙巴，然後打車司機在街道就隨便把我放下了，我在whatsapp中告訴酒店員工，他們還特意來接我呢。員工非常有交帶，事前還會在whatsapp告知我如何入住呢，而且房間打掃得很乾淨沒有異味，冷氣很涼快！其實雖然面積小但是兩塊落地玻璃的設計還是讓人很寫意的！地點是在Asia City，前面行人天橋直走就能到太平洋購物中心、菲律賓市場，很方便的！
