I came from KL and stayed in an Airbnb here while visiting a relative. The place had caught my eye from outside, so I’d wanted to stay once, and I ended up really enjoying it. The building is kept in good shape. The guards are welcoming and helpful, saluting at the gate and greeting me with “hi sir” when we crossed paths inside. The facilities cover two levels. Level 9 has a huge, well cared for outdoor pool, with a cafe-style gathering space next to the pool and BBQ area. There are plenty of tables and chairs, and it could probably hold 50 or more people. The children’s pool and playground are there too, along with a ballroom and another event space. On level 53, the highest floor, there’s a smaller indoor pool that’s a nice place to relax if it’s raining. There’s a jacuzzi too. The sauna and steam room were under maintenance when I was there, though I don’t know if that was temporary. The gym is clean and maintained, but short on machines. It has treadmills, bikes and dumbbells. The dance room, gourmet room and leisure room with pool table and karaoke were locked, so I couldn’t see inside. You’d need to ask a guard to open them. My swim at the outdoor pool was a highlight. One thing to keep in mind: the carpark is narrow and tight, and turning your way up could be tricky in a big vehicle like a Hilux. Outside, there are eateries, a car wash, a mart and massage places, all open very late, around 3am. Massages are kind of pricey around here, but if you’re coming from SG, you can splurge with the currency difference and enjoy.
The city view is lovely, and I’ve heard the karaoke room is impressive. Security is good and strict, and the design feels spacious and luxurious, very atas. The building does seem largely empty, though, with echoes in the common areas and a mostly vacant carpark.
I booked this apartment on Agoda for 14/12/2025 to 15/12/2025 and paid everything upfront. When I arrived, they asked for an extra RM200 “refundable” deposit. I know deposits are common, but there was no reception or staff on site, and no face-to-face contact. Everything was handled online. They wanted an online money transfer, my NRIC or passport details, my bank account information, and for me to join a WhatsApp group just to check in. They said the refund would take 1-3 days. With nobody there in person, the whole process felt unsafe, suspicious and unprofessional. I refused to enter because of those red flags. I never stayed, but still lost the full amount I paid through Agoda. They did issue a receipt, which doesn’t make this acceptable. I also spoke directly to the building security guard, who said this happens many times: guests arrive, see what’s going on, and leave. This didn’t feel transparent, guest-friendly or trustworthy. If you care about your money, personal information and peace of mind, don’t book this place. It felt like a scam and unsafe.
The complex has three towers, two pools and gyms by both pools, and we loved our stay. The apartment we had, B13-03, was especially lovely, and the host was extraordinary. When we checked in, the electricity was out across the whole level. We went to management and they fixed it right away. The host didn’t know we’d contacted management and tried to sort it out himself. He even left a welcome package at the door because of the problem. The outdoor pool on the 8th floor is large, with a sauna and a small jacuzzi. There’s also a semi-outdoor pool on the 42nd floor, which we liked more because it felt more private. This place was just perfect for us.
The upper-floor gym, game room and pool are thoughtfully designed and come with a great view. The condominium is very well built, with good materials and roomy corridors and walking paths.
