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...

The rooms are excellent - more on par with a 4 star hotel in KK, so long as you're not looking for a full service hotel. Check in staff were friendly and always smiling, the rooms were very spacious, and bed comfy, with a nice modern bathroom. The rooms (& bathrooms) are much better than at the Jesselton Hotel, which rides on its name. We asked for a quiet room off the main street, so weren't disturbed too much by noise, but could be an issue if you're on the street side. The only complaint that...
