NowHere Boutique Suites at EST KL Sentral
The stay was really disappointing. The apartment had numerous broken or poorly maintained items—basic fixtures didn’t work properly, and the overall condition felt neglected. There was a strong sewage-like odor throughout the unit, which made it very uncomfortable to be in. The building itself felt dirty, with unclean hallways and shared areas that looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The gym was particularly unpleasant—no air conditioning, so it was sweltering during any workout. Even the kitchen utensils were rusty, which raised hygiene concerns. The pool area was also not well-maintained, with visible dirt and grime. Overall, the property didn’t meet basic standards for cleanliness or functionality, and the experience simply wasn’t worth the price. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent, comfortable stay.
