Unbelievable KL Luxury: Empire City PJ Suites - Did it REALLY Steal the Show? (My Honest, Messy Take)
Alright, listen up, fellow travelers! I've just crawled out of the Empire City PJ Suites, and let me tell you, my brain is still processing. Because "Unbelievable KL Luxury" they call it, right? Well, buckle up, because I'm about to give you the REAL, messy, and hopefully helpful lowdown. No sugarcoating here. Think of this as your pre-trip survival guide, not a glossy brochure.
Accessibility (and My Own Stumbling Blocks):
Okay, let's be real, accessibility is HUGE, and I always try to be mindful. The hotel says it's accessible, and I saw the elevator (major plus!), so theoretically, you can get around. But… and it's a big but… I was struggling with my suitcase. Getting into the elevators was fine, but the little things, like the slightly narrow hallways (which felt extra narrow with my stuff) made me have to maneuver a bit. They should check on the accessibility in the actual rooms, and corridors again. Score: 3/5 stars (room for improvement, but generally decent).
Cleanliness & Safety - My Inner Germaphobe's Verdict:
Here's where things get REALLY interesting. They boast about anti-viral cleaning, room sanitization, and all that jazz. And look, I'm a child of the pandemic. The sight of hand sanitizer dispensers everywhere (score!) put a little pep in my step. I also noticed daily disinfection happening in common areas. The staff seem very trained in their protocol, so this is all very good. I also loved my room - it looked clean, it smelled clean, and the bed felt clean (and comfy - we'll get to that later!). The staff also mentioned that there was sanitizing equipment behind the scenes. Score: 5/5 stars (Peace of mind, people! Especially after traveling!).
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - A Culinary Adventure (or Not):
Okay, this is a mixed bag, folks. They’ve got options, that’s for sure! A la carte, buffets, Asian cuisine, Western cuisine. You’ve even got a snack bar! Breakfast was included in my rate (yay!) and was of the buffet variety. The food was…well, let's just say it was standard. No complaints, wasn't exactly mind-blowing. The coffee was the kind that keeps you awake…which is a bonus, I guess? The poolside bar looked tempting, but I didn’t actually go there, so I can’t give you the inside scoop. But everything was super sanitary. Score: 3.5/5 stars (Solid, but not a foodie paradise. Though with so many options it should satisfy even the most difficult of tastebuds)
Services & Conveniences - The Extras That Make a Difference:
This is where Empire City kinda shines. They’ve got the basics covered. Daily housekeeping? Check. Concierge? Check. Laundry service? Check. Dry cleaning? Check. What really tickled my fancy was the convenience store…I'm a sucker for an emergency snack run at 11 PM. There's also currency exchange, which saved me some hassle. The front desk was really friendly, and everyone spoke pretty good English. Score: 4/5 stars (Convenience is king, and they get it!).
For the Kids (Because, Let's Face It, You Might Have Them):
I don’t have kids, but I saw a few families there. They seem kid-friendly, and there were some facilities to please the little ones. However, a babysitting service may be available, but I did not check. Score: 4/5 stars (Good option for families)
Getting Around - Navigating KL (and Avoiding Traffic):
The FREE car park made me so happy; I love saving on transport. They also say there's airport transfer, which is super useful. Taxi services are available, as you’d expect. I didn’t try the bicycle parking, but it's there if you like being outdoors in the Malaysian heat. Score: 4/5 stars (Easy to get around).
Available in All Rooms: The Nitty-Gritty (And My Personal Obsessions):
Okay, let’s get to the really juicy stuff: the rooms! Mine had… wait for it… air conditioning! Clutches pearls. Also:
- Bed: Heavenly. Seriously, I melted into it. The kind of comfy that makes you contemplate skipping your sightseeing plans.
- Bathrobes and Slippers: A nice touch. Made me feel like I was living the high life.
- Coffee/Tea Maker: Essential. My morning ritual was saved!
- Free Wi-Fi: (Shoutout to the fast, reliable connection!)
- Mini Bar: Tempting, but I behaved. Mostly.
- Separate Shower/Bathtub: A luxury I never knew I needed.
- Soundproofing: Thank you, sweet baby Jesus, for the soundproofing!!
- Hair Dryer: (Saved my life – humidity is a beast!)
- Blackout Curtains: Slept like a log. Bliss!
- The Window that opens: I have to say I love opening the window for a breath of fresh air.
The Emotional Rollercoaster: My Quirky Reactions
Okay, here's where it gets REAL. I walked into my room, and the first thing I did was jump on the bed. I mean, jump. Then I squealed with delight, because the view was pretty epic! I also found myself doing a little happy dance when I discovered the separate shower and bathtub situation. I'm a simple creature.
Now For The Imperfections:
- The "Gym": It exists, but it's probably best used if you have a serious determination to burn some extra calories. (And maybe some patience.)
- The "View" wasn't to die for. It was alright. Not gonna lie.
- The noise from the hallway, if you get a corner room. The soundproofing is not perfect.
The Show-Stealer? (Or Not?)
So, did Empire City PJ Suites "Steal the Show"? Honestly, it's complicated. It's not perfect. It's got some rough edges, but it's comfortable, convenient, and clean. For the reasonable price, I have to say it's a winner!

Rijeka's BEST Apartments: Your Dream City Getaway Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because you're about to get a travel itinerary that's less Michelin Star and more… well, let's just say it's got character. We're talking Empire City PJ Studio Suites – that Manhattan Group gig in Kuala Lumpur – and trust me, it's gonna be a wild ride. Here we go:
Empire City PJ Studio Suites: A Kuala Lumpur Kerfuffle (Because Let's Face It, Life's Rarely Seamless)
Day 1: Arrival - The Great Aircon Debacle (and Hope for Noodles)
14:00 (ish) - Landing and the Kuala Lumpur Shuffle: Alright, lemme tell you, that flight felt like it lasted longer than my last relationship. Finally, we’re down! Getting through customs? A breeze… mostly because I bribed the guy with a half-eaten Kit Kat (details are scarce). But the humidity… OH, THE HUMIDITY. Already regretting my choice of a wool sweater. Note to self: pack lighter next time.
15:30 - Taxi Tango & Suite Shenanigans: Okay, the taxi ride was… an experience. Let's just say our driver, a charming fellow with a fondness for blasting Bollywood tunes, made a wrong turn. Twice. But hey, we got to see more of the city, right? Arrival at Empire City! First impressions: kinda… sterile. But the lobby's nice, I'll give it that. Check-in was relatively painless, though the receptionist seemed to be having a very long day.
16:30 - Aircon Apalling and Meltdown: The Studio Suite! It's… compact. Okay, very compact. But hey, it’s got a bed. And a… uh… kitchenette? Look, the aircon’s broken. Seriously. Just blasts hot air like a miniature Sahara Desert. I swear, I’m sweating just thinking about it. Contacting the front desk now. Pray for me. Update: They're sending someone. Still waiting. This is not a good start, folks.
18:30 - Crisis Averted (Maybe) & Noodle Search: MIRACLE! Repairman arrives, fiddles with the aircon, and… cold air! Victory! I think I heard angels sing. Now, food! My stomach is an angry grumble, and all I want is a big bowl of delicious Malaysian noodles. Time to venture out and find some. This could be my moment of redemption… or further disaster. Wish me luck. I will update.
19:30 - Noodle Heaven & Emotional Rollercoaster: Okay. Wow. The noodles. Oh. My. GOD. I found this little hawker stall around the corner. It was bustling. Had to wait in line, but it was WORTH IT. The laksa nearly brought me to tears (in a good way). Seriously, I could live on that stuff. Right now, feeling like I could take on the world, or at least the remaining aircon issues that may, or may not, return. The night is young! So am I.
21:00 - Suite Reflection & a Touch of Boredom: Back in the room. Feeling full, slightly sweaty, and starting to contemplate how long I can realistically sit at this tiny desk without going stir-crazy. The view is… of other buildings. Okay. Not a selling point. Maybe I should have sprung for the “city view”. Oh well. Time for some terrible TV. And maybe a little journaling.
Day 2: Exploring KL - Lost in Translation and Temple Treasures
08:00 - Wake-Up Call (or, The Pain in My Back): The bed, surprisingly, wasn't half bad. Slept well, though my back's still a little stiff. Coffee is essential. Made a quick coffee using the facilities in the room. It's… well, it's coffee.
09:00 - Public transport… a gamble: decided to test my luck and try the public transport. I'm not sure what's more confusing - the multiple buses and the confusing sign postings or the sheer number of people. I was sure I'd never return, but I managed to make it to the Petaling street market. I probably did not see every single thing, and I was definitely being hustled for a discount (I'm not sure if I got one), but the market was an energy bomb.
11:00 - Batu Caves- The Big Climb & the Monkeys' Mischief: Next stop was the majestic Batu Caves, a series of cave temples in a lime stone hill. I didn't realise just how many stairs were involved. I was really panting on the way up. So many steps. So many. The golden statue of Lord Murugan is breathtaking. The monkeys however… I now have a better understanding on why they're not considered an animal.
13:00 - Nasi Kandar and a Brief Encounter with Regret: I'm so, so full right now. I think I ate way too much Nasi Kandar. That was a great meal though. I really think I can eat a whole mountain of food. My stomach is screaming in protest.
15:00 - Afternoon Nap/Regret: I think I need a nap. I'm really tired. I am definitely going to regret this.
17:00 - Back to the hotel - Reviewing Day's Journey: I'm back and I'm happy. I've got what it takes to make this trip worthwhile.
Day 3: Departure - The Suite's Farewell (and the Search for a Decent Souvenir)
09:00 - Farewell Feast & Baggage Blues: Goodbye, pathetic coffee maker! One last look at the kitchenette. Honestly, I think I'm going to miss this cramped little space. Okay, maybe not. Packing is a struggle. Did I really buy this many t-shirts? Where am I going to put all this stuff?
10:00 - Last-Minute Souvenir Scampering and the "Perfect" Gift: Okay, time for a mad dash for souvenirs. The market is calling. Finding the perfect souvenir (that doesn't scream "tourist trap") is proving harder than I thought. I'm not sure if my sister needs another fridge magnet. Maybe. No. I need something… meaningful. This is harder than I thought, actually.
12:00 - Check-Out Confusion (and the Lost Remote): Checking out. Pray for me. Oh, and I can’t find the TV remote. Don't tell them. I’m pretty sure I left it on the counter near the tiny desk.
13:00 - Airport Anticlimax: So, it's time to leave. Honestly, I'm a little sad it’s over. Kuala Lumpur, you weird, wonderful place, You tested me, frustrated me, stuffed me with noodles and gave me a million memories (and a few questionable food choices). And Empire City PJ Studio Suites? Well, you were… an experience, alright. Would I recommend it? Hmmm… Depends on your tolerance for aircon malfunctions and compact living spaces. But hey, the noodles were worth it. And that’s all that really matters, right? Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a flight to catch. And a fridge magnet to hide.
