(Let's be honest, Cheras can be a maze!)
Accessibility – The Lifeline for the Urban Explorer
Okay, first things first. That MRT access? Crucial. Seriously, in a city like Kuala Lumpur, being able to hop on the train is a sanity-saver and a time machine combined. I’m a firm believer in leaving my car at home whenever possible, and this location gets a HUGE gold star for that. Getting around is generally easy, which eases the mind. The location is in an accessible location.

(Rant Alert!)
Okay, so I was digging into the "Room Decorations" section and realizing that I am not the biggest fan of cookie-cutter hotel rooms. I want personality! I want a little bit of weirdness. I don’t want to feel like I'm staying in a beige box. Sometimes, hotel rooms can be so perfectly curated that they feel…soulless. And honestly, that can ruin your whole vibe during your trip. (It's a total first-world problem, I know, but hey, we're aiming for luxury here, right?).
The Verdict (and the Pitch!)
So, does Luxury Corner Room w/ MRT & UTAR Access - Landmark 2, Cheras/Kajang deliver?
Let's be honest, it looks promising. The MRT access is a massive win, the potential for relaxation in the spa is tempting, and the amenities are solid. The safety measures are reassuring. It seems well-rounded, with the real test being the how of it all: how attentive is the staff? how clean are the rooms?
- Book now: I recommend booking your stay and experiencing for yourself.
(But here's the real kicker: This place is for the person who values convenience, a touch of luxury, and the freedom to explore without being chained to a car. If you're a student at UTAR, a business traveler wanting to connect with the community, or even a tourist who wants to feel like they're living like a local, then this is worth a look. )
Escape to Paradise: Khaoyai Valley's Untamed Beauty (Je t'aime Thailand)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is my attempt to wrangle a trip to the heart of Malaysian chaos – The CORNER Room in Landmark 2, near UTAR/MRT/CHERAS/KAJANG. Prepare for a rollercoaster, folks. Prepare for some real talk.
Day 1: Arrival & Accidental Auntie-ing (and a Deep Dive into Teh Tarik)
10:00 AM: Landing at KLIA2. Okay, first hurdle – the luggage carousel of doom. Pray to the travel gods your suitcase surfaces before you're forced to wear that questionable "I Heart Malaysia" t-shirt you can buy at the airport. Success! (For now…)
11:30 AM: Grab a Grab (thank the internet!) and head to Landmark 2. The drive… oh, the drive. Malaysian traffic is a ballet of honking and near-misses, a symphony of controlled chaos. I swear, I saw a scooter carrying a full set of scaffolding once. Seriously.
1:00 PM: Check-in at The CORNER Room. Fingers crossed for a decent room! I'm a light sleeper, and if I have to listen to a crying baby all night I'm going to lose it. They're already offering me a room in the front-facing side. Oh, great, street noises AND crying babies.
1:30 PM: Lunch at somewhere nearby. It's so hot I'm already wilting. Found a random kedai kopi. I'm ordering nasi lemak, because if I don't, am I even in Malaysia? I'm suddenly feeling very hot and sweaty. This is going to be me for the rest of the trip. The waiter nods, smiles, and then… the most epic, frothy, and creamy Teh Tarik magically appears. My brain is immediately soothed from the heat. I'm in love. I could drink this forever. I'm going to drink this forever. Okay, I'm going to make a note: MORE TEH TARIK.
2:30 PM: Wandering around the neighbourhood. Okay, I'm a little lost already. I stumble into a small shop and the shopkeeper starts chatting to me like we're old friends. Suddenly, I’m being offered a giant plate of fruit and asked if I “need a new husband.” Uhm… no. I think I'm still adjusting to the humidity. I feel like a child just following around an aunty. This is going to be me, and a bunch of grandmas, and probably some uncles, for the rest of the trip.
5:00 PM: Back to the hotel. I need a nap, and maybe a shower to recover from the humidity.
7:00 PM: Dinner at some random night market. The smells! The sizzling! The chaos! The food stalls are a feast for the senses. I try something. I have no idea what it is. It tastes amazing. I'm eating it at a table, and sitting near me is a lady eating the same thing as me. We exchange a smile. It's comforting to know I'm not alone in my adventurous eating habits.
9:00 PM: Crash. Sleep is the only goal after a day like this, and to be in the hotel room again.
Day 2: Chasing the MRT and Finding Inner Peace (and More Food)
8:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel (hopefully, not too many crying babies!) and then I am in a mood.
9:00 AM: Embark on the MRT adventure! Time to face the public transport beast. I'm planning a trip to the Batu Caves. Wish me luck, and pray I don't accidentally end up in Singapore.
9:30 AM: Arrive at MRT Station. I’m staring at the maze and start to feel overwhelmed. I'm pretty sure I'm going the wrong way. I'm probably going the wrong way. I think I'm going the wrong way.
10:00 AM: Arrive at Batu Caves. After some near misses (and a lot of confused staring at the map), I made it! The sheer scale of the place is something. The colourful steps! The monkeys! The… well, more monkeys trying to steal my water bottle!
11:30 AM: Attempt to ascend the 272 steps to the cave (note: I say "attempt"). My legs are burning. The heat is radiating off the stone. I now understand why people pray in these places. I need something to believe in to get up to the top. I'm panting like a dog but the view from the top! Stunning. It's even worth it. I can almost forgive the monkeys. Almost.
1:00 PM: Lunch: Some roadside curry and roti. Another culinary adventure. The spices are incredible, the heat is real, and the local auntie is delighted that I'm eating with such enthusiasm. She gives me a complimentary samosa. Win!
2:00 PM: MRT back to the hotel.
3:00 PM: Attempt at a calm afternoon. Maybe some reading. Maybe some meditation. Probably not. I'll probably end up people-watching from my window, which is arguably more entertaining.
6:00 PM: Another Night Market. I think this might turn into my new favourite hobby.
8:00 PM: Dinner. More food. More Teh Tarik.
Day 3: Cheras Adventures & Airport Mishaps
9:00 AM: Check out of The CORNER ROOM. This is bitter sweet. Part of me is sad to go. The other part of me is screaming for a comfy bed and aircon.
9:30 AM: Grab a Grab.
10:00 AM: Arrive at KLIA - now the real chaos begins. Check-in, security, the whole shebang. I already have a list of things I'd like to do again, and a list of things I won't do, but I doubt I'll ever forget the experience!
1:00 PM I'm on the plane, and now I get to reflect. The heat, the food, the monkeys - it's been a wild ride. I'm going to miss the Teh Tarik, and I will be back! I hope I don't see that scooter with the scaffolding again, though.
So, there you have it. A slightly messy, undeniably honest, and hopefully entertaining glimpse into my Malaysian adventure. Wish me luck, and remember to embrace the chaos! Because in Malaysia, chaos is almost always delicious.
Unbelievable Villa Diana in France: Your Dream Vacation Awaits!
Okay, spill the tea! What *actually* is the deal with this "Luxury Corner Room" at Landmark 2 with MRT and UTAR access in Cheras/Kajang? Like, is it really all that?
Alright, alright, settle down, gossip hounds! Let's cut through the marketing fluff. "Luxury"? Well, it depends on your definition, honey. It's *nicer* than some of the shoebox-sized apartments I've seen, that's for sure. Think modern, clean lines, probably some decent furniture. Corner room? Yes, *typically* you get a bit more space, maybe an extra window for that sweet, sweet natural light. And the access to the MRT and UTAR? That's the golden ticket, truly. It makes everything so much easier.
But here's the thing: I stayed there *once*. And let me tell you, it wasn't all sunshine and roses. I was there for a week-long workshop, and the first evening, I spent a hilarious (and slightly panicked) hour trying to figure out how to work the TV remote. It was a full-blown comedy of errors! Eventually, I gave up and just read a book. #FirstWorldProblems, I know.
Seriously, the MRT and UTAR access… how *good* is it? Is it a convenient lie or a true lifesaver?
Oh, the MRT access? It's the *reason* to be there, honestly. Forget the "luxury" – that's just icing. The MRT is a total game-changer. You can zip into KL city center in, like, what? 20-30 minutes? Avoiding the Cheras traffic? Priceless. Seriously. I did it every day, and it saved me from a level of rage I didn't even know I was capable of.
UTAR access... well, that depends if you're a student or not. For those studying there, I imagine its perfect. For me, I just found it very convenient for quick trips to the shops around UTAR. (The food options are infinitely better than the hotel restaurant, let me just say).
Let's talk about location. Cheras/Kajang... isn't that a bit... *far*? Is it a concrete jungle or something with a soul?
Okay, Cheras/Kajang *can* feel far. Depending on what your definition of "far" is, I suppose! But consider this: you are still in greater KL. The MRT helps immensely. And look, there's *plenty* to do. Malls galore (you’ll learn the names of them all very quickly – I swear), local food stalls, some decent bars and cafes. It's *not* the heart of Bukit Bintang, let's be clear, but it's definitely not some abandoned wasteland.
I did think it's a bit of a concrete jungle, to be honest. But you can escape into a more residential area if you are so inclined.
The room itself! Size, amenities, the *vibe*? Did it feel like a temporary luxury or a sad, overpriced hotel tomb?
Alright, let's get down to the nitty-gritty of the *room*. I wouldn't call it luxurious, but not a tomb, either. It was *comfortable*. More than some places I've stayed in, anyway. The corner aspect did give it a bit more light, which is always a bonus. The bed was decent (important!). There *was* a fridge, which, let's face it, is essential for chilling that water and the occasional leftover nasi lemak.
Amenities... well, the usual. Coffee maker, iron, hair dryer -- stuff you'd expect. I think they even had a small gym, which I, naturally, never used. My *vibe*... well, I was there for a workshop, so I was mostly frazzled and sleep-deprived. But I think it would be a decent place to hole up for a while. Just don't expect a five-star experience.
What about the downsides? Were there any dealbreakers? (Besides the dodgy TV remote).
Okay, the downsides. Because there *are* always downsides, aren't there?
First of all, the traffic getting *to* Landmark 2, and getting *from* it, can be brutal. Even with the MRT access, you have to traverse a bit of road. Learn the backroads. It's a survival skill.
The soundproofing wasn't amazing. I could occasionally hear the people in the hallway or even the traffic during peak hour.
And (and this is just me being picky) the breakfast buffet was... well, it was a buffet. The standard fare. Nothing to write home about. But hey, you are in the Cheras/Kajang and it is not THAT big of a problem.
Would you recommend it? Be honest! Would you stay there again?
Honestly? Yes, I would recommend it, *with caveats*. If you need to be in the area, especially for UTAR or to access the MRT, it's a solid choice. The rooms are pretty comfortable. The location is so convenient for transport.
Would *I* stay there again? Maybe. It depends on the situation. If I had to go back to that workshop? Absolutely! And I can finally say with confidence, the TV remote will not be my challenge again.
So, yeah, it's not a life-changing experience. But it's a decent place to crash, especially with that MRT lifeline. Now, if you'll excuse me, I suddenly have a craving for nasi lemak…
