Hotel Independent di Batu Lima Bangi

"1. Loved the room & the view 2. I had requested a smoking room in my reservations & even sent a message to remind. I received an email back saying allocation is based on availability. But during check-in I was informed that the whole hotel is non-smoking. Would be good if I was informed of this prior so I can manage expectations. "

"My stay at your hotel on 8 June 2025 was exceptional thanks to Shermin, Ahmad, Vicky, and the housekeeping team. Shermin was proactive and efficient, promptly pre-booking my lunch and dinner buffets upon learning I was celebrating a birthday, showing outstanding attentiveness. Ahmad’s birthday room decor was flawless—thoughtfully designed, perfectly executed, and exactly as I envisioned, turning my celebration into a truly memorable occasion. Vicky demonstrated genuine care by noticing three empty water bottles without prompting and immediately replacing them. The Malay housekeeping attendant was friendly, diligent, and meticulous. However, the only significant failure in my stay was the utterly disappointing and frustrating interaction with Reservation Executive Fabio Yong. His communication, solely in writing, was curt, dismissive, and shockingly unprofessional. When I requested paid birthday room decor for a family member, he falsely claimed the service was unavailable and abruptly terminated the conversation. His blatant refusal to assist or offer alternatives was infuriating and completely unacceptable. This was not a simple misunderstanding but a clear disregard for guest service. Fabio Yong’s attitude seriously tarnishes your brand’s reputation. Immediate corrective action must be taken. Meanwhile, Shermin, Ahmad, Vicky, and housekeeping deserve formal recognition for their exemplary service."

"Property start to rundown. Used living room restaurant for breakfast and high tea. It is not great, foods are not fresh, no service attitude. Table and placemat are not clean properly. Room phone are not working even after told the front desk, hence not able to order IRD. "

"Thrilling experience for this stay from FO check in to check out very professionally executed. Special thanks to Farah Front office by ensuring my rooms are feather item free and 2 hard pillow was placed in prior to my check in. On 25/5 Housekeeping the male Nepalnese (team leader i presumed) was very attentive and attention to detail by showing me the room feature especially lighting switch to which i have trouble to locate for the first night, he keeps checking about my well being because he saw my feet got burnt marks by hot water. The room is very clean and neat as per my liking. Pool was outstanding but 1 family of 6 (local) brought in mcd, coffee, donuts at the raised deck opposite the toilet was very annoying, leaving rubbish behind, pool staff trying to talk to him but he kept argued. Signboard stated clearly no outside food! Breakfast was so basic but good. Again hightea set in lobby lounge never disappointed me, making me coming back for more. Pastries and savory bites are superb this time. I got 2 jungle bird glass , very unique. Im coming back again in June 25 and reservation been confirmed. My family very happy for this stay. Thank you so much for Ms Farah, Housekeeping and lobby lounge both ladies (one lady with spec chinese and malay ladies) making your hotel guests experienced a memorable and thrilling encountered. Thank you n im coming to have hightea again today 25/5/25 and in June as well.!!!! "

"Everything is good, just the lightnings in the bathroom are a bit too dark, the eperation of tv was clearly instructed, it cause a few calls and a visit by the mainrenance team, can be avoided by just a short instructions note the room. 8.5 out of 10!"

"doesn't match the 5-star hotel status. Only 2 lines for check in, where 1 line is for priority members, and both lines wait for their turn for approximately 10-15mins each guests. I do not know why check in takes this long. When it is my turn, it is the same, where the staff just stares into the computer for 10 mins. Furthermore, any requests that were made before my arrival was not noted although the staff has remarked that she will put a note on my booking. None of the staff found any notes for my booking. Room is also dusty, and the toiletries tray is full of dust. I will not stay here again."

"Breakfast is just OK and samiliar everyday. Room is clean, facilities are OK but not advance. walk to near shipping mall with 15mins."

"Everything was great. My wife & I really enjoyed the live music at the lounge"

"Excellent . Services tiptop. "
