The hype
Travelers love the modern look and self-service speed, but the glass bathrooms and lack of soundproofing are constant sources of drama.

Reserva esto si You're a tech-savvy solo traveler who wants a cheap, stylish crash pad and prefers a kiosk to a human receptionist.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Completely contactless 'unmanned' check-in process
- Industrial-chic design that punches above its price tag
- In-room washing machines in select room types (rare for this price)
Resumen rápido: A futuristic, vending-machine-style hotel experience that's great for your wallet but risky for your privacy if you book the wrong room.
Reseñado por @daria_perebaskina: I stayed here for a quick business trip and loved the autonomy. The self-check-in kiosk took literally seconds. My room had this cool industrial vibe, and having free laundry plus a 3M water dispenser in the pantry made it feel like a mini-apartment. Super convenient.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The 'unmanned' concept is cool until the kiosk glitches or you need extra towels, at which point you're on your own.
- You are an introvert who loves avoiding small talk at check-in
- You need a washing machine in your room for a long layover
- You are a solo business traveler on a strict budget
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
7.8
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable, though some guests report missed dust in the industrial corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Good. The glass walls are usually streak-free, which is impressive but terrifying.
- Maintenance: Newer fit-out means less wear and tear, but kiosk glitches are the main 'maintenance' issue.
- Linens & towels: Standard budget quality—clean but not luxurious.
- Odors & scents: Neutral to slightly sterile/industrial smell.

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is there really no staff?
Correct. It is 100% self-check-in via a kiosk. Security and housekeeping are around, but no front desk agents.
Can I pay the deposit with a card?
No. The kiosk only accepts cash for the RM50 deposit.
Do all rooms have washing machines?
No. Most 'Deluxe' and 'Premium' rooms have them, but check the specific room amenities list before booking.
Is it near the train station?
It's a 15-minute walk to Ara Damansara LRT station. Not right next door, but walkable.
Are there restaurants nearby?
Yes, it's in Dana 1 Commercial Centre. There are cafes and mamak stalls downstairs, and Evolve Concept Mall is a 9-minute walk.
Is the glass bathroom see-through?
Yes, in many rooms it is fully transparent glass. Some have blinds, but many reviews complain they are broken or insufficient.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
If the basement parking is full or confusing, park at Evolve Concept Mall and walk 9 minutes to save hassle.
- ✨
The 'water dispenser' is usually in the hallway, so bring a refillable bottle.
- ✨
Use the 'Grab' app for food delivery; the drivers know exactly where the lobby drop-off is.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The air conditioning can be aggressively dry—guests report waking up with sore throats.
💡The 'City View' is often just a view of the office building across the street.
💡There is a 24/7 call center, but they can't physically help you if the kiosk jams.
💡The industrial aesthetic means concrete floors, which makes the rooms colder than average.
💡Housekeeping is on request or scheduled, not automatically daily in the traditional sense.
