As a malaysian, i’m sorry for the bad experience, with this expensive prices u can get more modern apartment in kuala lumpur. this just looks over prices/worst for me, also very average looking apartment without balcony n dirties too. Just give the low rate for them. i’m agree with you both ❤

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Sneezing means dusty. The host is not taking good care of the unit. 800 usd is high for that quality.

It's a rip off you can get a better place for the price.

I really enjoy watching your videos! And I also like how you share the negative parts and not only the good ones, it's important to know the cons as well

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

Glad you like them!

[@Adair9800]

Excellent presentation. I’m presently planning to relocate from Thailand to K.L., so these type of videos help me understand the condo market.

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

Good luck relocating, I hope everything will work out ✌️

[@alansullins3024]

Thank you for the video. Thank you for showing the bad n good. I'm shocked at the prices.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for showing your apt in KL. Lots of greeneries view from d apt. D view of KL skyline from d rooftop swimming pool is amazing.

[@ajpv5153]

Yes, I had the same experience in this building. Nice pool but the common areas really need a renovation (specially the elevators). I would recommend people not to book Airbnb in there if it’s for long term, only for few days..

[@jackoneil3933]

Thanks for the honest tour. The Apartment looks just like some of the places friends I visited had in K.L back in the late 80's and 90 early 90's. Back then I seem to recall they were about $600/mo to lease, so in today's dollars maybe the cost is about half of when it was new. Did you happen to see lease or buy prices for non Air B&B units in your complex? My guess is that someone bought that unit and is trying to squeeze some positive cash flow. I remember some Chinese friends who used to buy condos and rent them for a profit. As for K.L. Being a place to live, My impression years ago was that Penang was more more laid-back and comfortable, mainly due to the traffic and air quality in K.L. and it seems that has not changed.

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

Yeah, airbnbs are easier to rent I guess, people don’t get to see the state of it first 😅 no, we didn’t see the sale prices

[@ronacompetente2569]

Very interesting to watch 💜

[@surianimuda2449]

You should stay at THE FACE PLATINIUM. I stayed there almost a month. Im Malaysian and from Terengganu. I stayed there when my korean friend came to KL.

I'm sorry for the bad experience you guys went thru. I'm allergic to dust too and I can understand it immediately when you said you sneezed a lot. I hope you'll find a better place to stay. please give them the lowest rate.

Great Video! I'm actually booked there but on the 29th floor. By the way the side where you two stayed is all odd numbered units?

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

Don’t remember anymore, we moved out already. Have a good trip!

[@GajahMengaumTheBruce]

Didn't you check the reviews for this unit first?

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

Yes we did

[@GajahMengaumTheBruce]

@@OlgaProGoingPlaces Did you also see the photos posted by other reviewers? They must have a very low expectation compared to you since it seems that they have given positive comments or otherwise you wouldn't have chose that unit. I will normally check reviews from other booking websites to really really make sure I wont be disappointed when I arrive. Check the room measurements as photos can be deceiving. You see a large nice room but you end up to a small room with old furnitures. You mentioned that you can get better apartment with lower price in Bangkok. Is that fair, as it seems that if you really have done your homework you probably can get the same or cheaper price here too. You have to consider the timing of booking too there's peak time and there's low time. Year end is normally when the price will shoot to the highest. Probably you are already aware of what I mentioned but I am just sharing my 30 years of business and leisure travel experience.

[@04didilina]

Guys you can move to Sunway Velocity...they have great condos for good price and also connecting with shopping mall and MRT and LRT...more better than your place🤗

[@AuntyJack123]

Thank you for sharing this with us. It's always interesting to see what you can get for your money in different places. We found same as you that Danang was very good value. We're in smaller towns in Thailand now and it's nearly as inexpensive.

[@latamenon6758]

Danang is vietnam almost 3/4of the population are poor In malaysia most of us can pau thst money This place is about 3000ringgit per month for 1 year lease which most malaysians can pay I live in the condo a 100meters away

the condo is less than 10y, main issue is its badly maintained. old condos have lower ceiling

Should stay the outskirts of KL area …. Petaling Jaya area

[@kaiziel]

wow thank you, i was literally just about the book that airbnb for 1 month! looked great in photos, but after watching that NOWAY! thank god im taking it elsewhere! broken ripped table clothes roaches in the sinks dirty walls, no balcony and poor cleaning service i would suffer 1 month. thank you very much for this video.

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

glad that we could save someone from having same bad experience 😊

[@designerappealing994]

Hey I don't want to have this experience I am also going kl first time for 1 month, can any1 suggest a building that's decent to avoid all this

[@kaiziel]

@@designerappealing994 yeah I'm staying at the Fairlane residents. It's a good price pool gym not to large and it's 1min walk to lot 10 2-3mins to pavilion and all the Nightlife. Basically walk out the door straight into all the action, check it on Airbnb Yuet is a great host I been here 6weeks now. 7/11 next to front door

[@kiflee009]

You can try find the apartment at Cyberjaya. More relax, trafic not so congested, more green view.

[@daymay1066]

@kiflee009 Location not that good. Certainly not in heart of town.

[@goguled]

$900 is a lot I have heard $500 will fetch a decent accommodation in KL

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

yeah, airbnbs, especially if booked late can be almost double from normal price

[@keangwooichoo6138]

600 to 800 usd is normal. Yes 500 is possible.

[@kimlimcool6664]

Try stonor 3 or Aria, when KLCC MRT station opens on March. The unit is much newer and nicer. Or Komune living and wellness hotel CHERAS for long term stay. Regaliaaa is old, very long waiting lift, poorly managed.

[@meiharris9007]

How funny! We stayed there in 2017; don’t remember how much we paid but the place was so run down. The gym had old equipments and not maintained. The infinity pool looked really nice in pictures but in reality it was small and so crowded! However, the view of twin towers from our apartment was very nice! Other plus was close to the subway station and the mall is just next door.

[@LWIN729]

Beautiful 👍👍👍

[@AndrewMage]

Regalia .... I was there last year .... dingy place. If you are using Booking or Agoda, read the comments (rank by Newest post) before booking a unit. Photos of the unit might look good but not the same in reality.

[@Life.Unscripted.Velvet.Dreams]

Hello is Regalia Hotel one and the same as Regalia Suites? Now I'm scared, will be there next month we booked in Regalia Suites thru AirBnb too pictures looks great, but now im quite giddy.

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

I’m not sure, you’ll have to ask the host

[@nuurulbasarmohdbaki6046]

It's an old building and USD 900 per month is depending on your budget. Can you get a better accomodation perhaps but 900 x 4.3 RM 3.8K +- in KL it's reasonable price. However the qualify of the apartment your are staying is bad. Perhaps the owner didn't do a proper maintenance. Also I think I have never encountered an apartment access like this in Malaysia. Safety is not a concern by the developer when designing this building.

[@paanjo10]

If you’re looking for expat place, please visit Desa Park City. Trust me, you won’t regret it

[@amein73]

@@OlgaProGoingPlaces so you stayed at the same hotel until you left?

[@OlgaProGoingPlaces]

This was an airbnb and we rented it for the whole month

[@mmk_mimpimimpikita]

I happen to stay in one of the unit there and yes I agree the place is dusty and not maintained properly. Probably because it is old building. But nonetheless, the host/owner should clean the place before the renter check in.

[@seeitall8921]

Did you experience having mold? I rent in malaysia and almost every rental ive visited and rented has mold problems because of our humidity levels. Theres like no basic knowledge among landlords to put in dehumidifiers before closing the place up for months when there’s no one living in it yet so that mold doesnt start growing

[@euyie8738]

Nearly purchased a unit there back in 2018 but cancelled it as it is an old apartment located in an old area and not many locals with families are living there anymore. It’s located just too far away from the living contemporary KL. Regalia is located in an area which was at its prime back in the 1990s, most KLites have moved out to Bangi, Nilai, Damansara or Melawati/ Selayang area. I eventually purchased an apartment located in an up and coming area of KL of Wangsa Maju.

[@rugan2401]

900USD is pretty high for a studio apartment. Try looking for a better price online

[@susancoffee6152]

What you are paying is slightly expensive. With that pricing you can get something better.

[@Debbiexue99]

Ur condo has nice view.

[@mickal27]

Is that $900 in US Dollars per month? Or in Ringgit? If that’s in Ringgit that’s a bargain but considering the current condition of the unit not worth my money even if it has high ceilings. If that’s in US dollars in that case that’s way too expensive and your location is not actually in the KL City Center. I'm living in Kota Damansara and I’m renting $450 USD for a 2-bedroom 2 bath fully furnish 95 m² service apartment and a 10min walk from the nearest MRT Station, 5 min wank from all the restaurants and 12 min. to Ikea by train.

I think to live where you are with amenities for $900 is very cheap for a month. Of course if you plan ahead, you can go groceries shopping centre, at regular supermarket, cheaper. Buy the cockroach stickers and put it near the drainage. The dust comes from staying near to the roads & noise too. Check reviews when booking. How can you compare with Vietnam? 😅
