Was upgraded to King Suite.. by far the biggest and most comfortable hotel room I've ever stayed in! Do yourself a favour and book the King Suite.. you will absolutely feel like a king/queen. Excellent gym and pool facilities, food menu and cocktails were stellar.

The breakfast and the restaurant setting were both excellent. The COVID-period price was especially friendly. The pier is across the street, and traditional markets are definitely worth visiting for foreigners. Posh department stores are also within walking distance. The rooms are large enough for the two of us to work independently. The lobby by the reception is worth mentioning as it provides space for several groups, and the deco has a clear theme: knowledge.

Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.

Rooms are extremely nice! Everything is very clean and comfortable. This is an excellent and affordable way to stay in Kota Kinabalu that I would recommend to anyone. Staff are extraordinarily friendly and welcoming. Very safe, very secure. Overall, there isn’t enough praise I can give to Ritz Residence! They’re 10/10, five stars , 100%. If you’re even considering staying here, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to one of the best places to stay in all of KK. Highly, highly recommended!

Everything you’d expect from a 5 star property. Especially enjoyed staying in the Ocean wing that included an additional quieter pool and amazing breakfasts.
