KL's BEST Family Suite? 3BR Regalia Apartment Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the gloriously messy, potentially amazing (or possibly disastrous, let's be honest!) world of KL's BEST Family Suite? 3BR Regalia Apartment Awaits! This isn’t your sterile, perfectly polished travel blog. This is me, me me, wrestling with the ins and outs, the highs and lows, the actual experience of staying there. Prepare for truth bombs and maybe a few too many exclamation points.
First Impressions & Accessibility (or, “Can I Get There?”)
Alright, first thing's first: Accessibility. Gotta get this out of the way up front. This place claims to have facilities for disabled guests. I'm not in a wheelchair, but I’m always on the lookout, especially if you’re traveling with someone who is, or if you yourself are one. The elevator is a must-have, and thank goodness they have one. The hotel boasts an "elevator" – so, check!…But the devil's in the details, right? I'd call ahead and inquire about specific features - are the doorways wide enough? Are there grab bars? Are the bathrooms adapted? This is crucial. It's on the list, but confirm, confirm, confirm before you book, okay? Don't want any nasty surprises when you get there. Internet Access & Amenity Heaven (aka “Wi-Fi, Wonderful Wi-Fi!”)
Okay, let's talk about the good stuff. Internet: "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" YES! Praise be. Because let's be real, in today's world, that's non-negotiable. They also have Internet access via LAN. I'm not smart enough to know what that means, but more internet! is always a win in my book. Wi-Fi in public areas? Double YES! My phone and social media feed will thank them.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax (& My Mild Panic About Body Scrubs)
Alright, the "Things to do" section is loaded. Let’s break this down.
- The Pool with a View? Sold! Sounds amazing. I'm picturing myself, cocktail in hand, staring out at the KL skyline. Fingers crossed it lives up to the hype.
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: YES. Yes, yes, yes. And it makes me want to go and scream. I think I want one right now.
- Body Scrubs, Body Wraps: Hmmm. I'm a bit of a high-maintenance person, but a body scrub? That sounds…intense. I'm picturing myself looking like a beached whale covered in seaweed. Then I'm sold on it.
- Fitness Center/Gym: Eye roll. Okay, I'll admit, the idea of actually using the gym is appealing… but you know, vacation and all that. But it's there if I feel guilty.
- Foot bath: I hate pedicures, but I can get behind a foot bath.
- Massage: Always yes.
Cleanliness and Safety - The Post-Pandemic Panic
Okay, so, the aftermath of the pandemic is still very much on my mind. This place gets it. They're boasting:
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Check.
- Daily Disinfection in common areas? Check.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter? Check, but I don’t know if I can keep it.
- Room Sanitization? Check.
- And all these extra safety measures
- Doctor/nurse on call?
- Hand sanitizer?
- Hygiene certification?
- Rooms sanitized between stays? Check.
I mean, it sounds like they're taking it seriously. I hope it’s as good as it sounds. This is reassuring, though.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking (aka "Where's the Food?")
Here’s where my stomach starts rumbling. They've got a ton of options:
- Restaurants, Bars, Coffee shop. Yes, please!
- Breakfast [buffet]… and Asian breakfast, Western breakfast?! I’m a sucker for a buffet.
- Room service [24-hour]? Oh, HELL yes. That’s a game-changer.
- Poolside bar, Snack bar? Score! Cocktail time by the pool.
- Desserts, Soup, and Salad in restaurant? All the things I need.
Asian and international cuisine? That’s awesome. I need to find out if there's a good Malaysian stall nearby too. Services and Conveniences - The Little Things that Make a Difference

- Concierge? For all my diva-like demands.
- Cash withdrawal? Essential.
- Daily housekeeping? Bless.
- Elevator? (See above re: accessibility).

- Ironing service, Laundry service? Saves me from looking like a crumpled mess.
- Luggage storage? Yay for not dragging my bags around!
- Safety deposit boxes? Always a good idea.
And, of course, a doorman. Because sometimes you just want someone to open the door for you.

This place is clearly leaning into the family market.
- Babysitting service? Yes!
- Family/child friendly? Promising!
- Kids facilities? Curious about what those entail!

Anything to keep the little monsters happy.

My (Super Honest) Hot Take: This isn't just a hotel; it's a potential sanctuary. A place
Luxury Lahore Studio: Shaukat Khanum Hospital Steps Away!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-manicured travel blog. This is ME, in Kuala Lumpur, Regalia Suites be damned, family in tow, and chaos as my co-pilot. Here we go…
Kuala Lumpur Kraziness: Operation "Keep Everyone Alive" (And Maybe Happy)
Day 1: Arrival & "OMG, Where's the Remote?" Panic
9:00 AM (ish) Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA): We land. The kids are already arguing about who gets the window seat on the taxi – foreshadowing, much? The air is thick, humid, and smells faintly of durian (that pungent fruit they either love or loathe. I'm in the latter camp, FYI). After figuring out the baggage carousel maze, we navigate the customs. My wife is a paperwork ninja; I'm the "look busy and hope for the best" type. She wins. Every time.
10:00 AM: Regalia Suites - Family Three Bedroom Apartment (theoretically a haven): Taxi ride! After a quick check-in, we finally are in the apartment (after almost an hour of wandering around because Google Maps failed me). The view IS stunning from the infinity pool, but the apartment itself… well, it's cleaner than my house, which is a good start. First order of business? Locate the remote. Because, you know, civilization. The kids are already bouncing off the walls. One's screaming for the pool, the other is glued to their tablet. My wife? She's calmly unpacking, like she hasn't been traveling for 24 hours. The woman is a superhero.
11:30 AM: The Infinity Pool Debacle: Right, the pool. Pictures looked amazing. The reality? Screaming children (mine, mostly), splashing, and a general atmosphere of "organized chaos." I jumped in, which was a mistake. I'm not sure if it was sweat, sunscreen, or something else… but the water was warm. Very warm. I emerged slightly pruney, smelling vaguely of chlorine, and questioning all life choices.
- Anecdote: My youngest, bless her four-year-old heart, decided the pool was a giant toilet. Thankfully, we caught her before any major "events." Crisis averted. Mostly.
1:00 PM: The Hunt for Lunch (and sanity): We ventured out in search of nourishment. Google-mapping "family-friendly restaurants near me" led us to a place called "Hut Burger." The burgers were… burgers. The fries? Soggy. The service? Let's just say they were on "Kuala Lumpur Time." (aka, not fast). But we survived. Food coma complete, we headed back.
3:00 PM: Regroup & Recharge: This is when things got REAL human. I needed a nap. My wife was trying to sort laundry (in a washing machine that had instructions in a language I didn't understand), and the kids were still wired from the pool ordeal. This is where the beauty of a three-bedroom apartment shined. I closed the door and passed out.
7:00 PM: Dinner out - and the great toilet paper mystery: We went outside and headed for a restaurant near the apartment. The food was good and the bill was reasonable. On the way back, during that evening stroll, my wife stopped at a corner store and bought a big pack of toilet paper. "Why?" I asked. "Just in case," was her reply. As it turned out, she was right.
Day 2: Culture Shock (and Street Food Triumph)
9:00 AM: Batu Caves Pilgrimage: OK, this was on the "must-do" list. We took a Grab (thank goodness for ride-sharing apps!) to the Batu Caves. The climb up the stairs was a workout (hello, glutes!), but the views were incredible. The monkeys? They were cute, but fiendishly interested in snatching anything that looked remotely edible, or interesting. I saw one liberate a bottle of water from a backpack. And another one tried to undress my wife. Just saying.
- Odd Observation: The sheer variety of colors on those stairs! And the way the sunlight hits the golden statue – it's just… wow. It's also a testament to the power of faith. I had to wrestle my teenagers away from their phones long enough to appreciate the scene.
11:00 AM: Batu Caves Bliss - Ice Cream and monkey-avoidance: After all the climbing, we had some ice cream to cool off. Now, to avoid the monkeys, it was either eat quickly, or play a game of keep-away till the ice cream melts. My family voted for keep-away.
1:00 PM: Street Food Adventure: Lunch was a whirlwind of delicious smells and unknown spices. We wandered through a street food market, braving the crowds and trying everything from satay to noodles. My picky eater, bless her heart, was actually enjoying herself! Me? I was in heaven. The flavors were incredible, the prices were ridiculously cheap, and the atmosphere was buzzing.
- Emotional Reaction: I'm officially addicted to Malaysian street food. I'd happily live on it for the rest of my life. The sheer variety, the freshness, the zing of the flavors…it's pure joy.
4:00 PM: The Shopping Mall Escape: Even the most adventurous spirit needs a dose of air conditioning. We took refuge in a massive shopping mall, mostly to escape the afternoon heat. I swear, those malls are bigger than some towns. The kids were in heaven; I was praying for the exit.
7:00 PM: Trying to Remember Day 1: We had to sit back a bit to figure out what we could do for the night. We ended up doing nothing, because we were all tired.
Day 3: The Petronas Towers Tango & Meltdown
- 9:00 AM: Petronas Towers (reservations, obviously): The iconic towers. Getting tickets was a pain, so we had to get them well in advance. But seeing them up close, from the sky bridge, was genuinely breathtaking. My wife and I were, and remain, in awe. The kids? "Are we done yet?" Sigh.
- 11:00 AM: KLCC Park and children's park chaos. Took the kids to KLCC Park right below the Petronas Towers. After a while we headed to the children's park area. They loved it, I was tired. The playground was fun.
- 1:00 PM: Food court frenzy: Found a food court in the Suria KLCC mall. The food was nice, but the crowd was so big that we barely found a table.
- 3:00 PM: The Great Meltdown of 2024: Right. This happened. One child lost a prized toy. Another child declared they were "bored" (despite being surrounded by everything new and exciting). I wanted to find the nearest bar, and then just hibernate under a table. My wife, bless her, calmly took charge, found the toy, and suggested a diversion. She is an emotional rock.
- 6:00 PM: The Restaurant and the Bad Taste: Dinner was good. But I had to go to the bathroom. When I came back to my table, there was a cockroach, right in the middle. So I didn't finish eating, and I spent the rest of the evening brooding.
- 8:00 PM: Getting back to the apartment: We went home and I immediately went to bed.
Day 4: Departure (and the Sweet Taste of Freedom)
- 9:00 AM: Last-minute packing, and the laundry machine: I'm the "throw everything in and hope for the best" packer. My wife? She's meticulous. Predictably, she was the one who saved the day, finding the forgotten chargers, the passports, and the rogue socks. The laundry machine was still a mystery. The instruction manual? Useless.
- 11:00 AM: Checking out: The taxi was on time (miracle!). We said goodbye to the Regalia Suites. Did we have the perfect family vacation? Nope. Did we survive? Absolutely.
- 12:00 PM: Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA): Waiting for the flight. The kids were surprisingly… happy. Maybe it was the end of the trip? Maybe it was the promise of a new adventure to come.
- 1:00 PM: Flight: Leaving Malaysia.
Final Thoughts:
Kuala Lumpur was a whirlwind. It was hot, humid, crowded, and occasionally stressful. But it was also vibrant, delicious, and full of wonder. Would I go back? Absolutely. Next time, though, I'm booking a hotel room with a lockable door, and maybe, just maybe, learning a few Malay phrases. Wish me luck!
Escape to Paradise: Crystal Motel's Geoje Island Getaway
Is this Regalia Apartment REALLY family-friendly? My kids are… well, let’s just say they’re *spirited*.
Okay, so "family-friendly" is a spectrum, right? Like, a scale ranging from "totally zen, no problem" to "send help, I'm drowning in juice boxes and existential dread." Let me tell you, I've been on both ends of that spectrum more times than I care to admit. The Regalia? Honestly? It's... pretty good. The three bedrooms are a *lifesaver*. My kids? They're tiny Tasmanian devils. Separate bedrooms meant, like, *hours* of uninterrupted adult time. And the space! Enough room for all their Lego creations and the inevitable mountain of laundry that follows. But, and here's the reality check, it ain't *perfect*.
One time, we were there, right? And little Timmy, the miniature monster he is, decided the balcony was his personal jungle gym. Almost gave me a heart attack. So, yeah, keep an eye on the little rascals. But overall? Definitely a win in the family-friendly department. Just pack a first-aid kit and a large bottle of wine... for you, obviously.
Three bedrooms! Is there enough space for everyone? We’re a slightly… *larger* than average family.
Okay, so you're talking about a proper family gathering. I get it. The three bedrooms are glorious. Seriously. We crammed in my in-laws once (don't judge! They're… complicated). And, honestly, we survived. We even *enjoyed* ourselves (mostly). The living area is surprisingly spacious. Plenty of room for kids to run around, and for the adults to collapse on the sofa with a cold drink after they do. My advice? Pack light (good joke, I know). And don't expect perfect silence. But yes, you'll all FIT. It may be cozy, but at least you aren't all tripping over each other in a single hotel room!
Side note: The Regalia also has a pool. HUGE bonus. The kids LOVED it. I, on the other hand, found myself contemplating my life choices while dodging rogue water balloons. Still… worth it.
What about the location? Is it easy to get around? We're not exactly seasoned KL explorers.
Location, location, location! It's pretty good, actually. Right in the heart of the city, the Regalia is good when it comes to accessing public transport. The monorail station is like, a stone's throw away. We took the monorail to KLCC (Petronas Towers - duh!), it was easy. And grab is readily available as well. Honestly? Navigating KL? I've done worse. Like, *much* worse.
But okay, here's my brutally honest observation -- the traffic can be a beast. Be prepared for some gridlock. Consider that into account when planning trips. My tip? Embrace the Grab. And pack some snacks for the kids. Trust me. Trust. Me.
Is the Regalia apartment clean? My kids are magnets for… well, you know.
Look, I have two kids. I understand the struggle. Cleanliness is a relative concept in my world. The Regalia? Actually, it was really clean. Like, *surprisingly* clean. The cleaning staff did a solid job. The bathrooms were sparkling, and the kitchen was well-equipped if you want to cook your family some meals, this is a great way to save some money.
But… and there's always a but, isn't there? ...Kids happen. I will say the carpet sometimes feels a bit iffy underfoot, but overall, I was happy. Just pack some antibacterial wipes, just to be safe. You know, for your own sanity. Okay? Good.
Are there restaurants or shops nearby? We can't survive on room service alone. (Bless them, though…)
Oh, absolutely! You're not going to starve. There are restaurants and shops all around. A bunch of little convenience stores, so you can get your snacks ASAP. And some decent restaurants nearby with some street food options.
Okay, so… I have a confession. I'm a terrible cook. So, eating out is *essential* for me. The Regalia's location? It was perfect. You could walk to a few places, but, again, Grab is your friend. We discovered this amazing little cafe a few minutes walk away. Best coffee ever. The end. Oh, and the pool has a cafe too!
What about the views? I want some Instagram-worthy moments!
Okay, okay, I get it. Gotta get those Insta-worthy shots, right? The views from the Regalia are... *amazing*. You get a stunning view of the city, the Petronas Towers, the whole shebang. It's seriously impressive, especially at night. I spent a good half-hour just staring out the window the first night. Honestly, it was worth it. The kids thought so too (as long as I didn't interrupt the TV shows).
Pro Tip: Get up early for the sunrise. Totally worth it for the photos. Just… don't expect to get a good night's sleep while you're there. But hey, sacrifices for the 'gram, right?
Any hidden fees or things I should be aware of before booking? Nobody likes surprises!
Ah, the million-dollar question! Hidden fees... it's the bane of a traveler's existence. Generally, no major surprises with the Regalia, which is a huge win in my book. Make sure you check the specific booking conditions, but I didn't run into any sneaky charges.
However, and this is a HUGE "however," parking can be a bit of a pain. Limited parking on site, be prepared to pay extra for parking. You can get a spot if you are lucky. Otherwise, Grab it is! Always read the fine print, people. Always.
Would you stay here again? Be honest!
Okay, bottom line time. Would I stay at the Regalia Apartments again? Yes. Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt. It's not perfect, but itRoam And Rests
