COZY 2BR Fairlane Residences Next To Lot 10

The bed was soft, the elevator felt quick and safe, and 7-11 is close by. The owners replied quickly, were friendly, and gave me all the information. The room had a bad smell that air freshener didn't fix, and the AC made a strange noise as if it wasn't working properly. The glass door was very dirty. The place also feels old, with cracked walls and tiles and a somewhat dirty wardrobe. On my last night, they still wanted to replace the TV even though I hadn't asked for that. Check-out was at 11 am and check-in at 3 pm, so I felt there was time to deal with it without bothering me.

This was my experience with Near TRX Fairlane Bukit Bintang Stay by Lily, listed under that name on booking.com or other platforms. They raised the price on my check-in day, saying demand had gone up and nearby market prices had risen too. So much for booking early to lock in a rate. They told me I could pay the increase or cancel and find somewhere else. At the last minute, when other hotels may be full and prices are up, that leaves you with few options. I found it a really bad experience. Try it if you want, but this is what happened to me, and it's up to you whether you want to risk a disruption to your plans.

Getting around KL is easy from here. A GRAB ride within the city was around RM$10-16, and Bukit Bintang walk is about five minutes away, with Pavilion Shopping Mall nearby too. The host, "Vicky(Air-bnb) ", was very helpful sorting out our booking and making arrangements so we were comfortable. I ended up here because there was an issue with my original booking and the host relocated me. The apartment furnishings could be improved. If you're driving, the parking entrance is very narrow, so go slowly to avoid damaging your car.

The apartments are really nice, and the view of the Petronas towers is wonderful. If Airbnbs are available at a good price, they’re worth considering.
