Platinum Residence KLCC by Vale Pine Luxury Homes

What you see in the various websites is NOT what you get in reality. The apartments are filthy. The bedsheets are stained. There is no equipment in the kitchen and the chairs are broken. Use towels at your own peril. Yes it is very well located and I can see it is very popular with large families but really.. the maintenance leave a lot to be desired. The check in process is led by work permit foreigners who look as if they are working a second job. No etiquette, poor English, multiple handphones and no eye contact. This is a classic case where packaging is everything. Swanky location and lobby but it ends right there. But if you want a place to sleep for the night while you explore the city then I guess it is alright. The location allows you to walk to the nearby malls and clubs.

We have just arrived and it is bedlam in reception with a waiting time of 10 minutes due to the hoards and queues of people trying to check in. I've tried to contact housekeeping via the phone - no answer, so I went down to reception - still queues of people checking in - just like an airport terminal. The room is spacious, clean and newish, although the bottom on the desk/dressing table is already chipped. We haven't booked breakfast, so not sure yet what lies beyond the boundaries of the hotel.

This is a beautiful building and I am sure there are lots of lovely suites, but ours was definitely not as described. We booked a superior suite, it was supposed to be on the ground floor with a terrace (we were on the 18th floor), dishwasher, toaster, oven and clothes drying rack. It did have a washing machine and hair dryer (with an Australian plug!). We had two towels - no hand towels and no proper bath mats. It was clean, and a great view of the city. They also wanted us to pay cash on arrival which we had not expected and could only pay by card, but had to leave a 200 Ringit deposit. It was disappointing as it was not what we were expecting and a very strange set up on arrival. Ani did her best and we have no complaint in relation to the ground staff - this feels like it is just a money making machine with no personal care about the customer.

We were directed to ill mannered bagaladashi workers stationed at hotel lobby to check us in with zero customer service attitude. We were also downgrade from 3 bedroom to 2 bedroom with 2 Mattress very last min. Room given was very smelly! Checked the sheets they had stains and were not clean. Floor was filthy as after we cleaned our feet before we walk out of the apartment, the sheets were black! The mattress provided were smelly and heavily stained and they were meant for my kids! We decided to ask for refund as the place was too filthy to stay in but the bangaladashi workers refused , claimed the call his boss in China , shouted at us and also ask us for out our bank account ? Overall, very disappointed and horrific experience. Reviews on certain site about the place is definitely untrue.

This hotel has been the worst while I’ve been travelling Asia, it ruined my entire trip in KL. I believe this hotel is running a scam, a number of suites are being privately let but the people letting them will try and take whatever they can and will not provide you with any service. The rooms were infested with insects, the TV did not work, and the biggest issue for me was that I booked a suite with two rooms but they took my money then told me they only had one key, when I told them this doesn’t work they said I’ll move you tomorrow to a smaller suite. I accepted but then they started to delay and wanted to charge me more to downgrade. The hotel told me of one of their guests needed a new card they could generate one and the building management also told me each operator has 4 keys. The hotel claim they are independent of the private operators but when I was queuing to complain I heard them talking (they didn’t know I understood their language) about the penalties for a private resident. *********** couldn’t get through to them to resolve the issues I had and are trying to resolve. I would highly recommend you avoid.

LOADS of cockroaches in the room. Terrible customer service. No one cares, they want to take your money and run and even though I left I could not get any refund. Never stay here. It's disgusting. Not sure what else to say. Just don't do it to yourself.

The apartment is destroyed. The fridge stinks so much that I feel like vomiting when I open it. Bugs in the apartment. One room has no windows and therefore no view. The bathroom was not washed, dirty and there were bugs crawling around due to moisture. The sofa is disgustingly dirty, it's hard to sit on it. Internet is not working well. some contacts not work. There is no equipment in the kitchen. The walls were stained with something the color of poop. The floor is dirty. Holes in the walls. The towels were smelly and not washed, the doors were noisy and leaky. two chairs were missing in the kitchen. and broken doors. After reporting the irregularities, the host did not respond for two hours. After reporting a request for help to Booking, the host wrote to Booking that he would offer another apartment, but it was a lie. He didn't propose anything. There is only one room card, which is inconvenient for 4 people, and we could only enter the swimming pool together. They didn't give us back the deposit for the card and the man in the photo jumped at us - my friend had a bruise. He said he was taking the deposit because she touched him. A nightmare and I wouldn't recommend it for any money on holiday.
