“very good location”

I stayed here after relocating with my new job to KL. My employer paid for the room, was abour USD100 per night. The rooms have a kitchen, fitted with cooker, fridge, freezer, washing machine, the beds are really comfortable.
Only downside is that breakfast is at a place called souled out next to the Somerset. The food there is really good in the evening but breakfast is a real hit and a miss, one day they has roast potatoes with cheese as one of the hot options!!!
Its only about 5 minutes walk from ampang park LRT station and less then 10 mins walk from KLCC and from there all the great nightlife is a few more minutes walk.
wifi is free!

Stayed at a 3bedroom suites & it's excellent. It has a 2 single bed room, a queen bed room & a king bed room. The kitchen is fully equipped with a large dinning table. The hall has a tv, DVD player & a mini hifi with iPod connectivity. New equipment & very clean place. Breakfast is simple but good enough.
The apartment is just by the side of busy Jalan Ampang, about 15 min walk to KLCC. I need to visit Gleaneagles Hospital which is a short drive down Jalan Ampang. Very convenient.

“Family Fantastic”

We arrived at Somerset for 4 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment

Wow they had everything you could think of... wi-fi, flatscreen TV's (bedroom and lounge), iPod docks/alarm clocks, an awesome bathroom with a view of KL. amazing

I have read some people complaining about the location. I dont understand this as you are pretty much a 10 minute walk away from KLCC and if you dont want to walk the hotel runs a complimentary shuttle to KLCC and the Pavilion is only a 5/6 ringgit taxi drive away. £1.20 So the location was a not an issue.
The roof pool was great and a stunning view over the city maybe not the biggest pool around but they have done the best they could have with the space. The gym is well equipped and plenty of space too.

Overall we loved it here. The staff were super friendly and went out of their way everytime to help us whenever we asked. will be back loved this place 100%

“Very decent place. Will go back again.”

Overall we feel the serviced apartment is value for money. We booked a 3-room premier thru the net. Checking in,, we tried to request for room facing the Petronas tower ( as suggested by fellow member) but sadly denied stating they do not have room in that category. Unavailable or unable to give? However, we did not press for that.
The beds are good you can definitely sleep well. The whole apartment is clean with 2 flat-screen tv and DVD player. Furnitures and fixtures modern and simplistic but not very luxurious. One of the basin not working properly. Breakfast quite limited but satisfied. Suitable for local people to hold a small gathering or birthday celebration.
