The hype
Guests are blown away by the size of the rooms and the pool view but frustrated by the chaotic check-in and elevator wait times.
The Platinum 2 KLCC by Reluxe
$60-120 / gabi
I-book ito kung You want a viral infinity pool photo and a massive apartment for a fraction of the price of a luxury hotel.
Bakit Ito Minamahal ng Mga Tao
- The Level 51 rooftop infinity pool with direct views of Petronas Towers and KL Tower
- Huge apartment-style rooms with washing machines and kitchenettes
- Walking distance to the Monorail (Bukit Nanas) and LRT (Dang Wangi)
Mabilis na Sumisid: A high-rise Airbnb masquerading as a hotel where you trade service and deep-clean standards for killer views and square footage.
Sinuri ng @mettahara: I couldn't believe my eyes when I got to the rooftop. Swimming with the Petronas Towers looming right over me was a bucket-list moment. The vibe is moody and cinematic, perfect for getting those incredible shots. Honestly, I booked it just for this pool, and it delivered.

Reality check
Multiple reports of mold in AC units and stained linens suggest housekeeping is surface-level only.
- You are an independent traveler who prefers WhatsApping a host over calling a front desk
- You need a washing machine and kitchen for a longer stay
- You prioritize Instagrammable views over 5-star service
Kalinisan & Pagpapanatili
6
- Housekeeping: Non-existent during stay. Arrival cleaning is hit-or-miss; floors are usually clean but deep cleaning is lacking.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional but often shows signs of wear. Watch out for slow-draining showers and hair from previous guests.
- Maintenance: High wear and tear. Scuffed walls and broken cabinet hinges are common.
- Linens & towels: Often worn and sometimes stained. Not the crisp white hotel standard you might expect.
- Odors & scents: Common complaints of musty/moldy smells from the AC units.

FAQ & Mga Nakatagong Tip
Lahat ng kailangan mong malaman bago ka magbook.
Is breakfast included?
No. This is a serviced apartment. There are cafes in the building and nearby, but no hotel buffet for this operator.
Is the pool free?
Yes, access to the Level 51 infinity pool is included, but it can get extremely crowded.
Can I leave my luggage?
Technically yes, but it depends on the host's availability. There is no central 'bell desk' for Reluxe, so coordinate in advance.
Is there daily housekeeping?
No. Cleaning is usually done only between stays. Extra cleaning can be requested for a fee.
How far is the Twin Towers?
About a 10-15 minute walk, or a 5-minute Grab ride.
Is it suitable for families?
The space is great (2-3 bedrooms available), but the lack of child-proofing and the 'party' vibe at the pool might not suit young kids.

5 bagay na dapat mong malaman bago ka umalis

💡You might have to pay a 'Tourist Tax' of MYR 10 per night in cash upon arrival.
