Sharing my stay in Somerset last week.
There's a promotion rate and a studio cost only RM261 plus breakfast.
It is a service apartment, so do not expect the comfort of a 5 star hotel. The corridors are carpet laid but the room is tiled with 600 x 600 tiles. Toilet is ok, ironmongeries are good. The dry kitchen is solid table top also served as breakfast table with high chairs. Full size fridge and a microwave oven. Basic cockeries are provided for. No pots and pans and there's no ovens. TV size 32" is a bit small in the sitting area with a sofa and coffee table.
Bed is comfy. Wifi is good. Furniture is very new and basic. Nothing fanciful.
Sound insulation is very poor as I was given a connecting room. I practically can hear what my neighbours are saying through the door gaps.
Breakfast is on the top floor and for RM18/pax, cannot complain. Moreover it is included in the room rate.
Housekeeing is not up to par as toilet is not cleaned properly. Yellowish stains can be seen and the management apologised for it.
Carpark is free and faily lighted up. But I think there's no guards so I chose the brightest spot and nearest to the lifts possible.
No restaurants are available so I went to Spices again. Expensive dinner but good food. Overall, quite happy.
Hi Funniman and guys
I was there at Somerset Puteri Harbaour, Its happened that I was given to view a unit that is type D, 1087sqft and with connecting unit. I believe the floor area is smaller
In Singapore, Quality Surveyor (QS) certified the floor area before handing over to the buyers.
If the size is within +/- % of the floor area (about 3% to 5%) there is no penalty. Otherwise, the developer has to compensate the buyers the shortfall.
In the case of Somerset Puteri Harbour, there is no certification of the actual floor area.
Maybe someone like to share their experience or encounter such issue in Malaysia?
