In the same week as my previous hotel post, my other family
members had chosen a different place to crash (since there’re a lot of them).
So even though I did not actually stay there, I did however get their feedback
when I was ‘lepaking’ there as well. If you’re interested in a peaceful,
secluded place to rest then this is the place for you. The location might be
tricky for you if you came to KK vehicle-less, since it’s located on top of
Signal Hill (or Bukit Bendera). The serviced apartment type of accommodation
consist of both regular hotel rooms and full on apartments.
Okay, I’m going to be honest and say that the place creeps
me out, what with the building being surrounded by an actual jungle area. First
impression screams out ‘old flat’ to me and parking spaces might be limited.
There’s also limited staff for such a big place, which was a bit confusing. But
after I’ve settled down, I found myself actually digging the place more. The
apartment that my relatives had rented out was spacious, albeit with a very
dated, 80s décor. The place has 1 master bedroom (with 3 beds in them), 2 other
bedrooms (one had 3 beds and another had a singular bed), 2 attached bathrooms,
a living area, dining area and a kitchen (with a fridge and limited utensils).
So it’s possible for you to cook your own food while you’re there but buying
ingredients might be a huge problem if you do not have any vehicle (and no,
even if you’re a fitness guru and can run up and down the area – it’s on top of
a steep, jungle-y hill and getting down doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll
immediately spotted a convenient store). But they do have a restaurant within
the area and a burger joint as well so rest assured that you won’t starve. And
one huge plus point for this place is the beautiful view of the KK city area
(well, it is on top of a hill). Oh
and also that family of adorable looking monkeys (yes, actual monkeys) paying a
regular visit to the place during the evenings.
All in all, I’d say…
Type – 3 Bedroom Suites
Room – 3/5 (at
least it’s really spacious)
Price – 3/5 (a
bit pricey even for the beautiful view)
Service – 3/5
(nothing much to comment)
Décor – 2/5 (here’s
where the management really needs to focus on – those ‘holes’ on the hallway
were just freaky especially at night)
Facilities – 3/5
(the place is also available for weddings and other meeting stuff)
Location – 4/5
(can’t really argue with the awesome sunset hilltop view though)
