We stayed 4 nights in a very spacious 2 bed apartment, which had an additional room that could be used as an office. Check in was easy and we managed to get access to our room a little bit earlier which was great as we’d landed very early in KL. The overall decor is nice, if a little tired but that didn’t affect anything really. Beds all very comfortable but do expect some traffic noise from the main roads early in the morning.
The pool area is fantastic, it’s pretty much always shaded and there are some hot tubs, jacuzzis on the side. The gym is also very well equipped and never busy.
The location is great for central KL, 8 mins walk to Pavillion mall and you can then use the covered walkway to get to KLCC and the Petronas towers. It’s easy to get Grab taxis and there is also free parking if needed, local train stations are also very close.
We didn’t have breakfast included in our stay, which is fine as there are plenty of cafes just downstairs - Fatimah’s cafe is perfect for local cheap eats. There are also food stalls every weekday lunchtime for the office workers but it’s well worth wandering over and trying a few bits and pieces.
We would definitely stay here again next time we’re in KL.
Tres Bon emplacement, seulement le petit déjeuner n’est pas assez complet
It was great to have the extra room over a hotel and the pool is great.
There is a long list of rules when you check in! Seem to be wanting to avoid “party” types.
The lounges have the worlds most uncomfortable sofas and only small so not great to sit inside together as a group/family. The kitchen is ok and the rooms ok and clean.
The breakfast is not great if you are in a hurry (you can exchange your coupons at local places) but the quality and quantity was good and there are plenty of places around. I would encourage you not to take breakfast through the hotel and just go to the venues yourself - more flexibility.
It is an easy walk to pavilion a supermarket and other restaurants which is good. If on a short stay I would chose the local Novotel, if on a long stay I would choose an Airbnb and if I want a fancy hotel I would stay at the ruma or eq. Ruma is better than EQ. (I have stayed at all 3)
In an otherwise good, and well equiped apartment, the only problem remains it's disfunction...
There is a good washing machine and drier.... but no washing powder to wash with.
There is a perfectly good set of crockery and cutlery - and a sink with water..... but NO washing detergent.
This not a critique of E&O Residences per se... but applies to most such short stay apartments I have stayed in, world wide. They just don't function - due to a lack of insight.
If a supply of small sachets of washing detergent and sponge, and washing powder were supplied or made available, everyone would be a lot happier to return.
The worst suite I have experienced in Kuala Lumpur, mostly stayed at the face suite, platinum suite, Melia, etc. wanted to try something different, bad idea. Room is horribly hot due to sun, the AC is inadequate. No USB port. Laundry detergent NOT provided, who travel with detergent. 2 little bottles of water per day with extreme heat.
