Chen Ho's Cultural Museum

The staff were amazing

Booked a 2-night stay in a 3-bedroom apartment. Check-in was simple. There was just 1 guy standing near the perpetually crowded lobby giving out the keycard and his command of English wasn’t great. Good enough to tell you that you would be held responsible for any violation of house rules. Additional keycards required a further deposit of RM200, so cough up if you’re travelling in a big group and need flexibility. 1 parking lot allocated per apartment. What was advertised as a 3-bedroom apartment was more like a 2-bedroom and one makeshift room. The third room was converted into a bedroom using a sliding door with tinted glass. Zero privacy, claustrophobic, no windows and poor ventilation (musky smell). Totally could not meet our needs and we had to quickly search for an additional room in a hotel nearby incurring additional costs. There were only 2 bathrooms and not 3 as advertised. Other than that, the apartment was clean and well-furnished. WiFi was not working initially but we were given a fresh password and that was solved. Lifts were slow and we never knew when it would arrive because there were no displays showing which floor the lifts were at. Swimming pool was crowded and not enough deck chairs. In summary, this is an apartment for rent in a good location. You get what you pay for, but we didn’t appreciate the 2-bedroom being marketed as a 3-bedroom with 3 bathrooms. Won’t be coming back.

We had a good stay at ViiA Residences with our family. The location was excellent and definitely one of the main advantages. Abdullah Hukum LRT station is nearby, which made travelling around Kuala Lumpur easy, and KL Eco City Mall, The Gardens Mall and Mid Valley Megamall are all within comfortable walking distance. There are also plenty of restaurants, cafés and shops close by. The outdoor swimming pool on the 40th floor was a lovely feature and a great place to relax after a day out. The gym was fine for our needs, although fairly basic, with the usual cardio equipment and enough for a simple workout. The residence was comfortable and convenient for a family stay, and we really appreciated having so much within walking distance. Being close to the LRT also meant we did not have to rely on Grab or taxis all the time.
