"Fabulous room, fabulous location and fabulous staff!"

10.0

We loved our stay here and cannot recommend it enough. The room is a good size, with a comfortable bed and a separate shower and toilet. The shower was good, with very good water pressure and nice and hot. Shampoo and body wash are provided in small bottles but there are plenty of repleshiments in the shared hallway. Here an umbrella, iron and ironing board can also be found. A kettle and fridge are also in the room. The room was very clean and modern and we were never woken from outside noise, despite our room facing the street. Staff were amazing, they would reply in the same minute over WhatsApp and helped with suggestions for car rental and laundry. They also assisted with luggage on check in. The WiFi was excellent and the air con was great and not too loud either. The property is a short 10 minute walk from the waterfront, where the sunsets are amazing! We cannot recommend this property enough, and wouldn’t hestiate to stay again if we ever found ourselves back in Kota Kinabalu.

We LOVED this place! So clean, so many amenities. Really nice size rooms, and most of all the most amazing staff. They were exceptionally kind and attentive and immediately resolved any issues or concerns! Would totally recommend and hope to come back again! It was within walking distance from many restaurants and shops!

"Good choice in Kota Kinabalu"

8.0

I stayed at AJ Residence several times over two weeks in Kota Kinabalu. The venue comprises several rooms in what, I imagine, was once a family apartment on the second floor of a commercial building. The renovation to create the guest house has been done to a high standard and with many "high tech" features, such as haptic lighting switches. However, the downside of trying to fit multiple individual rooms, each with their own bathrooms, into an existing floorspace is that the design of rooms is distinctly unusual. For example, mine had a shower cubicle next to the bed and a long thin space leading to a window that wasn't really functional. There are no staff on the premises at most times. Communication with staff is mainly via WhatsApp. Communication via this channel is, however, excellent - staff are very proactive and helpful. However, if you were not comfortable with using WhatsApp then that might be a problem. There was a good range of comfort items such as shampoos, toothbrushes, tea and coffee, etc.

Apart from the strange room layout, there was also a lack of furniture on which to put bags down. Light leakage at night: 1. I had to disconnect the television otherwise light from always-on LEDs flooded the room. 2. The seal around the door was not great and allowed light to leak in from the hallway (which was always lit). These are not especially significant things, but do prevent me from according the venue a higher rating.
