KL's HOTTEST New Condo: Cheras Saville MRT Walk-Up! (Sri Raya Unit)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the swirling, sweltering, and sometimes slightly too air-conditioned world of… Cheras Saville MRT Walk-Up! (Sri Raya Unit)! The supposed hottest new condo in KL, and, well, after a week of living in it, I've got a gut full of opinions that are dying to escape. This isn't your sanitized, PR-approved review. This is raw, real, and probably fueled by way too much instant coffee.
First Impressions (and a Few Near-Death Experiences with the Elevator):
Okay, let's be honest, the "walk-up" part is a bit misleading. We're talking a tower, people. A tall one. But hey, at least it's right next to the Sri Raya MRT station, which, in KL traffic, is a freakin' godsend. I swear, I've had dreams about the MRT since I got here. Just hop on, whizz away from the chaos of traffic, and arrive within minutes!
Accessibility - The Good, The Bad, and the "Shoulda Thought About That"
- Wheelchair accessible? Hmm… mixed bag. The common areas are relatively okay, but the unit itself? Depends. I'd recommend calling ahead and checking the specific unit's setup if accessibility is a priority. Some units may have better access to wheelchair options.
- Elevators: This is where my near-death experiences kick in. They’re… well, they work. When they feel like it. Expect some waits during peak hours and the occasional "stuck between floors" situation. Pack a book. Or, you know, a parachute. (Just kidding…mostly.)
- Amenities for Disabled Guests: I saw some, like ramps and accessible bathrooms in the common areas, but I'd still want specifics before booking if accessibility is crucial.
Internet – My Digital Savior (Mostly)
- Wi-Fi in all rooms? CHECK. And yes, it's free. Bless the digital gods, because without Wi-Fi, I'd probably be staring at a wall and muttering about the lack of decent coffee. Seriously, internet is good and fast.
- Internet [LAN]: Also available, for the hardcore gamers and data junkies. Good for people who rely on the internet for daily work.
- Internet Services: Yep, all the usual stuff.
- Wi-Fi in Public Areas: Spotty. It’s there, but don't be surprised if it cuts out mid-YouTube binge.
The Fun Stuff (or at Least, the Stuff that Matters):
- Things to do, ways to relax… Ah, the million-dollar question. The real reason we book these places, right?
- Swimming pool? Yep, a lovely outdoor one, with a view… of other buildings. KL's a bit like a concrete jungle, so don't expect a breathtaking rainforest vista. But hey, a pool is a pool. Just watch out for the sunblock fumes - they're potent.
- Gym/fitness: It's there, it's functional, but the equipment’s seen better days. I'm not gonna lie, I feel guilty for using it, like I'm gonna break something, just my experience, so i decided to not use it.
- Spa/sauna/steamroom: The spa is fine. The sauna and steamroom are… actually pretty decent. They're a saving grace after a long day of exploring.
- Dining, drinking, and snacking: Here's where things get promising.
- Restaurants: Several options on site, but the food is… well, it varies. There's an Asian cuisine spot that is pretty good.
- Poolside bar: Definitely a plus. It’s the perfect place to sip a cocktail and contemplate the meaning of life (or just complain about the humidity).
- Coffee shop?: yes and i have been there everyday. coffee is good and they're very efficient
- Room service: Available 24 hours. Good for when that midnight craving hits.
Cleanliness and Safety – Because, You Know, Priorities:
- Cleanliness: The rooms are generally clean, which is a MAJOR relief. The staff is working hard, even if the elevators are trying to kill you.
- Anti-viral cleaning products?: I assume so, given the current climate.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Yep, they take it seriously.
- Hand sanitizer: EVERYWHERE. I’m practically bathing in it at this point.
- CCTV: Present, both inside and outside. Makes you feel a little safer, even if it doesn't stop the elevator from plotting your demise.
- Fire extinguisher: It's there, hopefully working!
- Security [24-hour]: See above.
The Room – My Temporary Fortress (and the Source of My Constant Coffee Addiction):
- Air conditioning?: Thank GOD. KL humidity is no joke.
- Free bottled water: A small, but significant, gesture. Dehydration is a serious threat.
- Coffee/tea maker: The key to my survival. I have a constant urge to have coffee now
- Desk: Good for working, or pretending to work.
- Mini bar: Tempting, but also dangerous for my wallet.
- Wi-Fi [free]: See above, but again, bless it.
- Sounds proofing: The walls blocked out the sounds of the crazy crowds.
The Annoyances (Because No Place is Perfect):
- The Elevator: I can't stress this enough. It's a gamble.
- Minor flaws: Things like a slightly leaky faucet, or a TV remote that refuses to cooperate. Nothing major, but still… annoying.
- Service… sometimes: The staff is lovely and helpful, BUT sometimes they're stretched thin. Be patient.
For the Kids:
- Didn't have my kids along, but I did see some families. They're very flexible and family-friendly here.
Getting Around – The MRT, My Beloved:
- Airport transfer?: Available, which is super convenient.
- Car park: Free and on site, although parking can be scarce.
- Taxi service?: Yeah but it's cheaper if you take the MRT.
The Verdict (and the Big Offer!):
Okay, so Cheras Saville MRT Walk-Up! (Sri Raya Unit) isn't perfect. It has its quirks (elevator issues, occasional service lapses). BUT, for the price, the location is gold. The MRT access alone is worth it, especially if you're planning on exploring KL and avoiding the utter madness that is KL traffic. The amenities are decent, the staff is trying, and the rooms are comfortable enough.
And now, for the offer that you've all been waiting for. Are you ready to find the best deals, the cheapest prices, and the best rate?

Escape to Paradise: Ariya Inn Chiang Rai Awaits!
Okay, buckle up Buttercup, because we’re about to dive headfirst into a Cheras Saville (NEW UNIT, mind you, gotta specify those things, right?) adventure. Forget manicured Instagram feeds; this is going to be a sweaty, slightly confused, and utterly delightful Kuala Lumpur ramble. We’re talking real life, folks. Let’s get this show on the road… hopefully I don't get lost.
The Cheras Saville Shuffle: A Messy Itinerary (Subject to Change, Obviously)
(Day 1: Arrival and the Thrill (and Agony) of Settling In)
1:00 PM: Arrival at KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport). Right. First hurdle. Getting through customs. Will my passport photo be judging me? Probably. After all that, I swear someone ALWAYS forgets where the baggage carousel is. And as if on cue, half the luggage from my flight seems to have gone to Narnia. The only thing I'm sure of is the sheer, blissful air conditioning. Whew.
2:30 PM: Taxi to Cheras Saville (NEW UNIT). Okay, Uber? Grab? Taxi? My phone starts fighting with the local wi-fi. Then I'm haggling (badly) with a local taxi driver. "You know the route, right? And the price is…okay, I can feel it in my wallet already. Traffic. Oh, the traffic! It's a slow crawl into the city but finally…the NEW UNIT! Oh man, the security guard looks unimpressed by my arrival. He’s seen it all, I bet. And now, the keys. Fingers crossed they actually work! I'm picturing a lock that'll laugh at me.
3:30 PM: Check-in, Unpacking, and Mild Panic. Okay, the apartment is… well it’s new. And bless it. The aircon works. This is crucial. I'm already sweating from lugging my suitcase around. Unpacking sigh feels like a mountain is in my way. Where did all this stuff even come from? I’m pretty sure I packed four pairs of shoes that I won't even look at. Ugh. The best bits are the things you realize you forgot. Like, coffee. So, the first adventure is a coffee run.
4:30 PM: Coffee Quest (and maybe a snack). Okay. Google Maps is my new best friend. (I'm terrible with directions). Let's see… a quick walk, right? The heat hits me. Instantly regretting the jeans. Okay, I swear I saw a little shop. But the walk is longer than I'd thought. Eventually some corner shop. Bought something on the way back.
6:00 PM: Poolside Reconnaissance (and potential epic fail). Okay. Let's see what the pool is all about, if it's a vibe. I'm going with a quick dip. (I have no idea if I’m a vibe). Walk down to the pool. But wait. I forgot my swimsuit. Idiot. Turns out I only managed to pack one. Back to the apartment to change and go.
7:30 PM: Supper…and a Realization. Ah, finally. So, I'm starving. Okay, a quick scroll through Grab food. Decisions, decisions! The options are overwhelming. Settled on something. The food arrives. It’s glorious. Half way through, I realize I've already finished the entire order in record time. The REALIZATION: I have no plan for tomorrow. No idea where to go. Hmm. Maybe I can look up some stuff while planning the next meal.
(Day 2: Exploring (and Getting Completely Sidetracked))
- 9:00 AM: The Search for Breakfast (and the Battle with the Local Market). Right, gotta find some local breakfast. I'm determined to be a proper traveller. Hit the streets. Find a local market. It's loud, busy, and smells of delicious things…and also things I can't quite identify. I want all of it. Try the street food. My stomach is going 'Are you sure?' But the flavours are insane. Get over myself and get stuck in.
- 11:00 AM: MRT Sri Raya Station Wander (and the Accidental Detour). Okay, the MRT is my chariot for today’s discoveries. Head to the Sri Raya stop. Get a map. Feel slightly overwhelmed. I'm trying to be efficient, you know, the "see-everything" tourist. But the maps are never as neat as you thought. I ended up on the wrong side of the station. Then I saw a shop. And another. Then some of those cute shops with things I've never seen before. I'm totally off-course. The shops have this lure to them!
- 1:00 PM: Lunch (that wasn't quite lunch, but was delicious anyway). The shops led to hunger. Stopped off at a local eatery that looked promising. (It wasn’t exactly what I thought I wanted, but somehow it was even better.) I don't even know what I ate, but I want more.
- 3:00 PM: Retail Therapy (and the Discovery of the Great Bargain). Back to the shops. Now with a purpose, this is a real thing. Tried to bargain. It was a disaster. They are better than me. But found an amazing deal on something completely useless. (Gotta love impulse purchases).
- 5:00 PM: Back to Saville for the evening. The journey back, I'm knackered. I was walking all day! Did some stretches and fell on the bed exhausted. The joys of a long day.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner and Reflection. Okay, dinner. Again. Grab food again. I'm craving something spicy. As I sit there eating, I feel like I've actually gotten somewhere. I want to be a real local.
(Day 3: A Day of… Decisions)
- 9:00 AM: Late Start (and the Question of Purpose). Okay. Sleep in. The guilt is real. But my body needed it. Now, the hardest part of the day: What to do? And will I make it back.
- 11:00 AM: The Last Meal and the Airport. Okay, one last meal. Must be one of the best. It's a race against time. I'm starving. I get the food. Everything is perfect. The taste is divine. This is probably the best I've experienced. I am sad to leave.
- 1:00 PM: Taxi or Grab to KLIA. Back to the airport. I have to be there on time. I don't want to miss it.
- 4:00 PM: Departures. Goodbye Kuala Lumpur! I shall return!
Notes on the Mess:
- Food: I eat everything (probably). Food is essential. Expect at least one food-related crisis and/or love affair.
- Transportation: I will get lost. A lot.
- Mood Swings: Expect a range of emotions. From sheer joy to mild panic. This is the reality!
- Adaptability: This is a loose framework. I'm making things up as I go.
This is my Cheras Saville adventure so far! The plan? Well, it's more like a suggestion. Now let's see what happens.
