    Our stay at AR Residence was superb. The location was perfect for the wedding we attended, being very close to the church and hotel. Imago Mall, the nearest shopping center, had everything we needed. The staff were friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The room was spacious and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, dining table, and comfortable beds. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to KK. I highly recommend this hotel for its excellent facilities and great location.

    I appreciated that the room was spacious and had all the necessary amenities, like a fridge and microwave. the location was perfect as it was close to the mall and other key spots in town. Plus, the staff was friendly and welcoming, which made me feel at home.

    My Christmas experience was marred by some shortcomings at the hotel. the air conditioning in my room was not working properly, which made it difficult to sleep at night.

    I loved this hotel's location! It was really close to the mall and other popular spots in this city. The staff were super friendly and made me feel welcome right away. The room was very clean and comfortable, with great facilities like a fridge and microwave. Parking was right outside my room, which made it convenient to come and go as I pleased.

    Could not be improved in any way. The hotel was perfect for my stay!

    This hotel offers great value for money, with spacious and clean rooms equipped with all the necessary amenities. The staff are friendly and accommodating, providing excellent service throughout our stay. The location is convenient, with easy access to the airport and nearby attractions. Additionally, the attention to detail, such as having a fridge, microwave, and dining table in the room.

    The only suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the cooling capabilities of the air conditioning in the rooms.

    The location was convenient as it was near a mosque that gave the place a serene feel. The staff were cordial and welcoming, always ready to help with anything we needed. The room was comfortable with excellent beds and pillows, which ensured an undisturbed night's rest. The fast wifi connection and small kitchenette were an added advantage that made our stay even better.

    Although the room was spacious and well equipped, the shower's heating system was not very efficient. The hot water was lukewarm at best, which affected our overall bathing experience.

    The hotel is situated in a convenient location. It is close to a hospital, a mall, and an airport. the rooms are spacious and equipped with a fridge, microwave, and dining table. the bed is comfortable and the pillows are great. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and there's parking just outside the room.

    The quality of the air conditioning system in the room. It either took too long to cool, or didn't cool enough.
