Mistake In Video: BLOCK A is the side facing KLCC and has the beautiful panoramic view. If you a booking a room at the Colony, make sure it's in Block A
My man!! This video is 🔥 I just had someone reach out and ask me where they should stay in KL. Instead of writing out a long answer I just shared this video with them!!
Perhaps next time in KL, you could stay at the Star Residence or maybe at other apartments, or spend a day or two at one of the luxurious hotels in KL. I heard that the Mandarin Oriental, the Four Seasons, St Regis, Ritz Carlton are among the cheapest in the world compared to the others of the same luxurious hotel brands in the world.
Thanks for watching Yasin! Yes I looked into the Star Residence but was informed they banned short term rentals. Hopefully this policy will change in the future so I can visit. Thanks for the recommendations! I've started to identify my niche on TH-cam and I think showing the affordable luxury of KL will provide the most value to my viewers.
@@TedPatrickBaird Yes, affordable luxurious accommodation in KL is an excellent content for a video. I saw someone who achieved 1.5 million views about it. All the best to creating more content from KL. 😀
You summarized my experience and added a couple more spots to my digital nomad list. Thanks for the footage and honest reviews. Also was in Ceylonz but had no idea about the other gardens, experienced the elevators and thin walls though 🙄
@@TedPatrickBaird Are you back in Malaysia, is that what you mean. Then, Welcome back to KL, Malaysia. Hope that you have had a good time and a pleasant stay. 😀
Ted, your video is unlike others, less blah blah and straight to the point, I love it, now I have some ideas where to stay in KL in my next visit! Thank you!
haha this comment put a smile on my face. I try my best to respect my viewer's time by getting straight to the point. I'm glad you found the video useful.
Fantastic vlog… so very impressed with all of the spaces… The prices are staggering… so affordable… what are your thoughts on retirement in KL. Is the language barrier very difficult???
KL is a dream! I'm glad you liked the spaces, John. Malaysia is becoming more popular due to the flexibility for expats. Check out MM2H (Malaysia My 2nd Home) and De Rantau for extended stay visas. Nomad Capitalist on TH-cam has a lot of great information. Malaysia was a former British/Dutch colony so English is spoken frequently. I had no issues communicating with locals.
About the coworking spaces in the buildings: are there actually people working? On YT it always looks like its empty. For me the point of a coworking space is also to connect and meet people. I think going to a public coworking is better, right?
From my personal experience, I don't see hotel coworking areas at more than 50% capacity. I saw people interacting at the Ceylonz business lounge. The issue with Ceylonz is the lack of charging outlets in the business lounge. I've been to Common Ground Coworking and that was filled with people. It wasn't worth the price but if you want to meet people I'm sure it'll be justified. Thanks for watching!
@@TedPatrickBaird You are fun to watch, more normal than most, ;-) How is married life btw? And are you from Edmonds? I am Malaysian, currently living in Redmond, WA.
@@user-ih4gn4ij7z Aww thank you for the kind words. It's a joy to know you find the videos entertaining. Married life has been the greatest adventure of my life.
In my opinion d worst of d lot has to be Colony by Infinitum…I live in one long term n there’s not a day I am not pissed with d lifts issue n poor maintenance of d whole building in general!
@@TedPatrickBaird n now d swimming pool is closed for few weeks starting 2/7/24 for another maintenance due to d poor maintenance n repair job just 6 months ago lol!
Its been a while since i saw your videos . Last time you were arranging your things to be sent Home back in usa and getting married . Are you now based in bkk or KL now ?
Can you please tell us how we can contact the owners of the suites you are showing, we want to see if there is a chance we could rent for a month or more. Thank you
Hello go to Property Guru's website, look up The Colony, see which listings are available for rent, then whatsapp the appropriate real estate agent (listed on their website) for more information about the lease.
How do you get in contact with the leasing company, as I don’t want to deal with Airbnb? Can you pls give me this info as I am in Canada, I want to contact them before getting there..

Ceylonz Suites and Expressionz are disgusting. Maintenance is none existing. The so-called cleaners only make the rooms look clean but they are actually disgusting af if you look into details.

Usually I went to Bukit Bintang to buy new laptops, graphic cards and smartphone. Plus Anime shop, figures, gundam.
Yes a lot of tech stores around!
Fabulous apartments in KL. All 5 of them are strategically located, very affordable, good value for your money, with amazing views.

I'm glad you found the video useful!
FanTAStic editing! And I agree with a previous comment...you have a great voice for these videos!
Wow what a nice comment:) Thank you for sharing!
Adding Ceylonz to my list! Loving that panoramic view 😍
You wont regret it(:

Ayee sorry to hear you were having the same issues. The elevator line was crazy haha I wasn't about to start taking the stairs
Awesome video with great stay options!!
Thank you for watching(:

I keep coming back for more!

Amazing shots dude! Enjoy yourselves in this beautiful city 😍
Thank you for watching!
I love your narrations...keep it up bro..and do enjoy your vacation in Malaysia
That's very kind of you. Been loving Malaysia so far!
I really appreciate you talking about the wall thickness and sound isolation!!
Of course! I try my best to be as transparent as possible. Ceylonz has amazing amenities but the wall thickness seems to be a prevailing issue.
Can’t wait to come back to KL bro 😃 nice vid ✌🏾
Appreciate that my dude! Where you traveling these days?
Loving the views!
Thanks for watching 💪
love it! looking forward for more KL videos
Thank you! More on the way.
Ur voice is so calming 😊
I'm glad you think so 😝

Coworking space at hotel is good idea
@@leealex24 Most definitely. More bang for your buck
Thanks, friend, I visited last year some of these condos, and I am totally agreed with you
Appreciate you taking time to watch!
Thanks man. Keep up the great content. 😎
Appreciate you bro!
Thanks for the recommendation. Booking airbnb with nice pools in KL for staycation is one of my hobby and insta material lol.
haha the infinity pools make the perfect backdrop for IG photos. Thanks for watching!

Great video! What's the name of the park where you played basketball?
I believe it was Wawasan Puchong Basketball Court. Thanks for watching!
Expressionz is the one! Do they offer different rates if I wanted to stay 2-3months ?
You'll enjoy it for sure. Yes airbnb usually offers discounts if you stay one month or longer.
SLEEPING LION SUITES BUKIT BINTANG.❤
Wow! Thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to add it to the list. To bad the Petronas Towers are obstructed :(
In my opinion d worst of d lot has to be Colony by Infinitum…I live in one long term n there’s not a day I am not pissed with d lifts issue n poor maintenance of d whole building in general!
I understand your frustrations. They were doing maintenance on one of the elevators for almost a month while I was there.
@@TedPatrickBaird n now d swimming pool is closed for few weeks starting 2/7/24 for another maintenance due to d poor maintenance n repair job just 6 months ago lol!
@@ivangooi2732 Time to find a new place!
@@TedPatrickBaird definitely…waiting to moved to TRX Residence once available!
Its been a while since i saw your videos . Last time you were arranging your things to be sent Home back in usa and getting married . Are you now based in bkk or KL now ?
I appreciate you following along! I'm based in the US but still have content to post from my Malaysia trip. Stay tuned!
Welcome to Kuala Lumpur 🎉
Thank you my friend
Have you been to Penang? Do you know any great beach front property or homestay in Penang. I would love to stay where you dan hear the Ocean.
Yes I made a a video on Penang:) Check out the Georgetown neighborhood.
You should move to Malaysia and live here with your wife
We've actually discussed the possibility(:
thanks for the updates
Appreciate you watching Jake!
So if you had to chose your top
Two of the five, to stay a month, which one? One with the best pool and gym?
The Colony & Lucentia. If you don't mind spending a little more money then go with Lucentia!
Can you please tell us how we can contact the owners of the suites you are showing, we want to see if there is a chance we could rent for a month or more. Thank you
