Outward Vacay: The Klagan @ Riverson Hotel & Residence

Since my partner was itching for a place to swim, we decided to switch hotels again after a few days at Hotel Gaia 95 and ended up at this hotel mainly for its very wallet friendly budget. The hotel cum apartment is located on the residential building of the Riverson (specifically called the Soho) where the hotel had commandeered the entire 3rd floor. So if you arrived at the main entrance and only spotted the security counter, do not fret since their actual lobby is on the aforementioned floor.

Although the designated check in time is 3pm, we were allowed to do a slightly early check in, which was nice. We were also very satisfied with our room, as it was spacious and well equipped with a working (big) fridge, microwave oven, basic utensils and safety box among other things. We also do not mind that they have a doorless shower but their vent fan seems to be broken so we were left with a wet floor almost all the time. Another thing that I would like to highlight is the non-existing place for their housekeeping team. Our room coincidentally faced the housekeeping storage room directly (or closet from what I can see) so the staff spent their free time chatting and storing away things in full view of the patrons from early morning till night. This might make some patrons uncomfortable and felt disturbed so I do hope that the management can provide a proper place for the housekeeping staff to do their business.

Also, since the hotel only occupied the 3rd floor, do expect to run into private tenants from other floors on the lifts as well as the swimming pool. But do not worry though since the pool (and jacuzzi) is big enough for everyone, even with an obstruct view of the sea. And I’m not too clear on their parking policy since I did spot several private parkings under the hotel’s name but am not sure whether if it is free or not (judging by its vacancy most of the time we were there).     

All in all…

Type – Superior Room
Room – 5/5 (loved their semi apartment concept, just like the one in KK Times Square Hotel)
Price – 5/5 (very affordable considering their location)
Service – 4/5 (the front desk & security team were very pleasant)
Décor – 4/5 (clean & modern looking)
Facilities – 4/5 (my partner is very happy with their pool)
Location – 5/5 (their within the Riverson Soho area; sandwiched between the Gleneagles private hospital and Imago shopping mall)
