"The location is great, walking distance to KSL and holiday plaza. The room hasn't cleaned yet while I checked in. However the staff changed another room for me within 15 minutes. Service was good, cozy lobby."

"Smooth check-in process. Staff was helpful and prompt when we asked some info. Unit was clean. Just a little tiny thing like mop bucket was left inside the shower and the bathroom was not spotless but not too bad."

AAnonymous UserThe host is friendly, responsive and understanding. However, the stay is a very forgettable one.
This review is solely based on the overall experience staying at this apartment. It is to create awareness for others in case they have kids and would like to stay here as it has 2 Queen bed accommodation. For context, it is a condominium with dual keys unit, meaning it has one main entrance followed by 2 separate doors for each unit. I do not want anyone to been through what we did.
We check-in late around 5pm, the kids are excited when they entered the room happily and shouting. Out of a sudden, we heard a guy shouting from the other unit, we opened the door and he shouted at us angrily. He said he is staying here and he is sleeping, do not make any noise. We obliged and tried to keep our volume down. We went out after and back to the stay around 10pm. My kids suddenly cried and he shouted “Hello!”and slammed the door loudly. We will all stunned and speechless. The kids are only 3 and 8 fyi, and I have to tell them to be quiet for the whole time while staying here. What’s the joy of staying here for? To be honest, it is late at night at level 39 and with an unknown mental unwell guy just beside us really makes our stay a very stressful and threatening one. We slept for the night as it is late and the kids are tired. We left the stay asap the next morning.

AAnonymous UserThey only provide one access card for 8 of us, 4 rooms. The building has a very bad phone connection. It was so hard for us to connect to each other especially the first day and we were lost between the mall and homestay. We took an hour to figure out the way from the mall parking to the homestay. It was a disaster.
Luckily the house was clean and comfortable.
One of the room aircon is spoilt and we need to wait for the next day for the receptionist to open.

AAnonymous UserThis time I stayed in Block A of R&F Plaza. Compared to Block B, the facilities here are older, and it's quite noisy outside the window, especially facing the road. Other aspects were still good; the customer service staff were very friendly, and there's a commercial area downstairs, making dining and shopping very convenient.

AAnonymous UserPlace was nice in that the sights are beautiful. Refer to pics Checkin was also pretty seamless. Do read all instructions carefully though. The upkeep of the place is however not so good. One of the rooms aircon was leaking, bedsheet & towels were not too clean.
Saving grace is that the administrator is very very nice and patient. He also provided new disposable towels and allowed late late checkout.

ZZaheyiThe room was fantastic! The layout and facilities were the best I've encountered across five cities in Malaysia (my only minor gripe was the mattress being a bit firm). The view of Singapore from the window was a nice bonus. The pool and community amenities were great too. Plus, there's a convenience store downstairs, a small Chinese supermarket, and plenty of dining options. Getting to the central station was also super easy. This is definitely an apartment I'd choose again!

GGuest UserWe reached the hotel at about 11.30pm from Songapore on 8/4. Upon reaching, we asked the security guard about the booking procedure. He does not know anything about it. He showed that there are boxes to collect the keys from near the laundry room. However, there were no instructions or information of password or room number to collect the keys. I tried to call the hotline and the internet phone but neither was successful in my attend. It was already past midnite. We were tored after the 11/2 hour of jam at the Causeway. We decided to search for another room at the agoda.com and found something for us to spend the night at Grand Landmark Hotel. It costed us $62 SGD. We stayed there until noon and decided to go back to the KSL Premier Residence. I checked my email and saw the instruction to the room coming in at 5.53am which is about 5hours from the time we alerted them via the apps. We went back before noon to the KSL Residence and checked in. Place is nice but we felt shortchanged and ill treated with this hiccups. We would like to ask for a refund for the first day and that Trip.com should pay for our sstay at Grand Landmark Hotel on 8-9 April for goodwill. It is not easy to move around with 2 msmall children. I hope your side exercise compassion and understanding for the negative experience we felt. w
