The hype
The views are world-class and the rooms are modern, but the logistics of getting to your room are exhausting.
Scarletz Suites Klcc By Mykey Global
$35-70 / nat
Bestil hvis You want a viral infinity pool photo and a washer/dryer in your room, and you have the patience of a saint for elevators.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Rooftop infinity pool with direct views of Petronas Towers and KL Tower
- In-room washer/dryer combo (a lifesaver for long trips)
- Walkable location to KLCC and Suria Mall
Hurtig oversigt: A stunning skyscraper that functions better as a photo backdrop than a hotel, plagued by a nightmarish elevator situation.
Anmeldt af @chopandtravel: I still can't believe I snagged this penthouse for £50 a night! The floor-to-ceiling windows gave me the best morning views, and hanging out at the rooftop infinity pool made me feel like I owned the city. Definitely the best value stay I've found in KL.

Reality check
The bathroom drains frequently smell like sewage, and the 'kitchenette' often lacks basic cookware like pans or knives.
- You are a solo traveler or couple who packs light
- You prioritize rooftop pool views over service
- You need to do laundry during your trip
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
7
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Long-stay guests only get cleaning every 3-4 days. Short stays often find missed dust.
- Bathroom hygiene: Visually clean but plagued by drain odors. Grout often shows signs of wear.
- Maintenance: High wear and tear. Scuffed walls, broken cabinet handles, and wobbly furniture are common.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality, but often stingy with quantity (1 towel per person, no hand towels).
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fine; rooms can smell musty or like sewage due to the drain traps.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is the pool free?
Yes, access to the rooftop infinity pool is included, but it can get extremely crowded at sunset.
How bad are the elevators really?
Bad. 15-20 minute waits are common. The lobby is not air-conditioned well, making the wait sweaty.
Is there a kitchen?
Yes, a kitchenette with microwave and kettle, but often no stove cookware or cutlery. Don't plan on cooking full meals.
Can I store my bags after check-out?
Yes, but it costs money (approx RM 5-10 per item) and is managed by a third-party counter in the lobby.
Is it near the Petronas Towers?
Yes, about a 10-12 minute walk. It's very central.
Does the room have an iron?
Most units have an iron and ironing board, but verify upon check-in as items sometimes go missing.
Insidertips
- ✨
Use the service elevator if the main guest lifts are gridlocked (ask a guard nicely).
- ✨
The 'White Forest' cafe on the ground floor is actually a decent spot for breakfast if you want to avoid the mall crowds.
- ✨
Check the water heater switch – it's often turned off by default near the bathroom light.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'sewage smell' in bathrooms is a structural building issue, not just a cleaning one.
💡You might only get ONE key card, making it impossible for a couple to split up.
💡The lift lobby on the ground floor turns into a sauna during the day.
💡There is no reception phone in the room; you communicate via WhatsApp with the host.
💡The 'gym' has a great view but is often used by guests just taking photos, not working out.
