Clean beyond expectations, and amazingly helpful and communicative staff. Easy to find as long as you read the directions provided. Location is great, within walking distance to many mini markets, food stalls, and great restaurants. The owners and staff clearly put a lot of thought into this place. Beyond the basic amenities, they also provided a hairdryer with various attachments (including a diffuser!), and a scale to weight your luggage, which was very useful for us. Would definitely recommend A Residence to any friends and family planning to visit Kota Kinabalu.

I stayed here for a night on 30.07.2025. The hotel room is superb, feels premium and it is worth the price. The concept is a modern hotel in the forest. Received a warm welcome by the host a.k.a owner. Breakfast for two, was more than enough. Thank you Melissa.

The room was excellent—spacious, comfortable, and complete with an en-suite that provided everything we needed. There were two restaurants to choose from, and we dined at both; each offered very good food. Breakfast was particularly impressive, with an awe-inspiring range of options and consistently outstanding service in both venues. The pool was very good, and we thoroughly enjoyed swimming each day. A scenic walk down the gorge sits right beside the hotel, adding an unexpected highlight to the location. Overall, the hotel is very well situated—within easy reach of the port and only a reasonable taxi ride from the airport—making it both convenient and enjoyable as a base for exploring the area.

Amazing location in Kinabalu Park. We stayed in a Peak Cottage and woke up to a wonderful view of Mt Kinabalu. The cottage was perfect for our family of three. Great to have a separate lounge area. For us, this was a stop over between Sepilok and Kota Belud. It was perfect for the night and a reprieve from the heat. Lots of information on walking trails in the area. We choose to visit the botanical gardens, and they didn't disappoint

Ladies, Stay away from this property.

Ladies, Stay away from this property. The staffs & outsiders gang upon female travelers by video tapping & taking pictures at swimming pool or anywhere other places inside the hotel. There is no security. Anybody can come in and roam around the hotel. It is massive 35 stories building with many units with any security guards. This property should not be on booking.com or any other websites that take responsibility of their clients. This is not a single incident or moment of bitterness, there were other complaints from other female travelers but they didn’t nothing to prevent it, other than try make lame excuses for their stuffs. it’s a organized crime to attack on female travelers. The Pinstayplus doesn’t have any employees . It looks like they do not exist other than WhatsApp massages. It is only Bay Suits staffs who are there. There is no lock for the door, only a pincode ( you aren’t allowed to change the pincode) that anyone can use it to enter the room. I reported to booking.com and the local police. The local police told me that this is not a crime in Mylaysia. They spoke to each other over the phone when I was at the police station. They had good laughs about the situation. I don’t know what was worse the crime or the police attitude!

Beautiful and great place to experience. Enjoy the whole trip. We plan to return fit & strong to trek Mount Kinabalu. Don't miss out. Great place for a family holiday. Don't have to travel to Europe to gain such a fascinating view, Only be mindful, a lot of uphill if u wanna walk around. Great place for retirement if u love trekking n love nature.

Once a humble coastal town, it’s now becoming increasingly tourist-oriented. Seafood tends to be on the pricier side unless you’re skilled at bargaining. Diving here offers mostly smaller marine life, especially when compared to the vibrant underwater scenes of the Maldives. Night dives aren’t permitted unless you’re staying at one of the pricier water resorts that offer in-house diving. It’s fine for a short getaway, but there’s not much in the way of standout attractions or culinary experiences.

It is well worth staying at least two nights at Sepilok, so that one can attend both feeding sessions at the orang utan centre, visit the sunbear rehabilitation centre AND spend time at the wonderful Rainforest Discovery Centre. The latter deserves a few hours, preferably in the afternoon and leading up to dusk, as one can see so much wildlife,. The canopy walkway is amazing.

From what we saw, pretty much the only reason to stay in Lahad Datu is to catch a plane. We were there about 24 hours which was plenty. The airport is one of the smallest I have ever been to and was hot and crowded, but the plane was on time and got us to Kota Kinabalu.

I wouldn't choose to stay in Keningau again.

I wouldn't choose to stay in Keningau again. It is a fairly grim place, noisy and with little to recommend it. I drove through Tambunan earlier on my trip which seemed like a much nicer place (although I didn't stay due to the lack of accommodation). The road through the Crocker range was good and worth a visit, but don't expect too much of Keningau itself.

Before we went, I was told to be careful in KK as it may not be safe. However, we met wonderful strangers who reached out to help my wheelchair bound dad without us asking. I was very touched by their gesture. This was the best part of the trip. Pekan Nabalu is a nice place to catch Mt Kinabalu. The temperature was a nice cool 22 deg. We booked a driver, Ajib who drove us there and to the Desu Dairy Farm and the alpaca farm. Getting around KK is easy by Grab.
