Think of Komune Living as student housing rather than a hotel. That way your expectations will be reasonable. If you're a low-maintenance, independently minded traveller or just staying for a short time, then you could probably make Komune Living work because the price really is very good. All the key elements are there, but nothing is in perfect working order: it's classic 2-3 star accommodation. First, the positives: the pool and the location are unbeatable. The pool was always quiet enough for swimming lengths at sunrise, with an unforgettable view across the city. You're also surrounded by food courts with supermarkets and two LRT stations are within easy, weather-protected reach on foot (Universiti through shopping centers, Kerinchi via a footbridge). The area remains safe and lively until well after dark, but there is a lot of heavy construction traffic during the day. Within the hotel, nearly every detail managed to disappoint. Sleep quality is low due to outside noise, mainly the trains and slamming doors. The shower drain was clogged and the toilet leaked. The internet was slow and unreliable. The room smells of drains if you turn off the aircon. Sometimes housekeeping removed the towels. A kitchenette in the room is a waste of space as no appliances, crockery or utensils are provided. No apps in the smart TV worked. You can't work in the room because the desk is too shallow for an 11" laptop and the low stool is uncomfortable. There are no power outlets beside the bed. The communal living area was grubby, loud and in a poor state of repair. I could go on, but you get the picture. The gym looks great in photos, but doesn't seem so generously equipped when you think that the hotel has 640 rooms and enjoys consistently high occupancy - in other words, the gym is always overcrowded. You might not believe it when looking at the photos attached to this review, but they were all taken at 3am. In general queues are part of everything here, especially at reception, the elevators, the breakfast buffet.

The stay was comfortable overall, but the elevator system was extremely frustrating. It took us nearly 15 minutes just to go down during checkout. Despite having six elevators, the dispatch algorithm seemed highly inefficient. For example, while an elevator was already available on the 11th floor, the system instead routed a fully loaded elevator from B3 to serve us on the 12th floor. This made no practical sense and caused significant delays. Quite disappointing for an otherwise pleasant stay.

Komune Living rooms are more than what we can expect. Very neat and Clean. Breakfast is too good. All options we can have Vegetarian and Non-Vegeterian. Internet service feels bit slow after couple of days but overall it's great place to live with family or single as well. Amenities are always well maintained. Gym, Gaming, Swimming pool, Kitchen and Community area and Prayer area all managed and such a cooperative staff. Can't forget their service and food.

Komune Living in South Bangsar offers a comfortable stay with good service and decent amenities. Breakfast includes a mix of Asian and a few Western items, generally prepared with less salt and sugar. One thing to note is that rooms do not come with bottled water—you’ll need to refill from the hot and cold water dispensers available on each floor. The service desk and reception tend to stay very busy. The property has 29 floors. The ground floor hosts the breakfast area, and the 1st floor provides self-laundry facilities with washing machines and dryers (RM10 per wash and RM10 per dry). The 29th floor features a swimming pool with a fantastic view, and just above it is a small lookout deck offering a panoramic city view. There is reading room by adjacent side.. Kerinchi is the nearest MRT station, and KL Sentral is only three stops away. Little India is around 3 km from the hotel, offering plenty of Indian restaurants and stores. Chinatown and Central Market are about 5 km away, where you can shop for a wide variety of items, including many budget-friendly options.

Absolutely disappointing experience. First of all, no one told us that the trunk bed requires an extra charge. We requested a bedsheet for the trunk bed during late at night, and instead of informing us about any fees, the staff suddenly demanded RM54 out of nowhere when we checked out after morning. To make things worse, the hotel staff lied straight to our faces. They claimed I said "we had already paid for the trunk bed", and when confronted, they changed their story to they “thought” we paid. Why would I spend an entire hour at 12am asking if the bedsheet was free of charge, just to lie to about paying for the trunk bed? Completely unprofessional. Lesson learned: record every conversation with them, because they will twist their words later and pretend you agreed to pay for something you were never told about in the first place. Avoid this place unless you want to deal with dishonesty and surprise charges.

This incredible location boasts friendly and efficient staff, amazing restaurants nearby, and clean, modern rooms. The well-maintained building ensures everything works perfectly, and the gym and pool are top notch. The price is reasonable, offering great value for the cost. Overall, I highly recommend this place!

Photos look better than in real life. Smell of smoke if a/c was turned off in room. In-room wifi not workable. Strict no-cancellation or change policy. At this price point, alternatives that offer better quality exist. Area: strategic next to highways. Not many food options on Grab.

Room is smaller than average but very satisfied with the cleanliness. Housekeeping was performed everyday unless "do not disturb" is turned on. However, i thought a 3-star hotel should provide some basic necessities such as toothbrush, toothpaste, mineral water and ironing board. Though water dispenser is provided at every floor. Car park rates can be quite expensive if you go in and out a few times a day. It's at RM6 per entry and guests would have to validate at the receptionist each time before exiting. And to the owner, please remove those speed humps at the exit before the barrier as it just make no sense to put so many of it in just a few meters apart.
