Rating: Located near the border of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, not in the most central bustling area. There is a nearby subway, and a taxi ride takes about 10 minutes and costs around 10 MYR.
The mall is quite large, with a comprehensive supermarket and food court. Most of the dining brands in Southeast Asian malls are chain stores with high visibility. The taste is generally acceptable. Dining prices are about 50% higher than local consumption, with 15% being taxes. For example, a 10 MYR meal becomes 15 MYR, such as ramen.
The lobby is spacious and comfortable, with a Chinese-speaking front desk to assist with check-in and luggage storage. The rooftop pool is small, but the view is nice at sunrise. Above the pool is a 24-hour gym, also small, with well-maintained equipment and a view. There is a water dispenser and towels.
The room space is average but can open two 32-inch large suitcases. It is sufficient.
The beds are twin beds that can be combined into a double bed size, and the room is cleaned daily. The beds are on the hard side and not very comfortable. Overall, it is clean. The TV has traditional channels without streaming media. The mini-fridge, safe, and sockets are universal, which is important in Southeast Asia, so you can bring one less adapter.
The bathroom and toilet are not separated, with a dry and wet separation design. There is a small switch next to the toilet seat for the bidet. The shower has strong water pressure and constant temperature, with a small space to sit and avoid slipping. The shampoo and body wash are on the wall, convenient to use and smell good. The hairdryer is wall-mounted, with low wind power and not a good experience.
Overall, it is a hotel with a price and stay experience that are proportional.
