- Xinhui (7/5): -
- Teck Thiam Alex (8/5): -
- A Latiff (10/5): Very impressive apartment - Friendly staff Nil
- Benoit (7/5): OK mais sans plus... - Confortable et Grand
La piscine Pas d'eau en bouteille. Très pénible d'aller en chercher dans le couloir. La télévision qui s'allume a chaque fois qu'on rentre dans la chambre.
La clim mal réglé et direct sur le lit.
Le sèche cheveux qui ne marche pas.
Le petit déjeuner a l'extérieur dans un centre commercial
- Kevin (10/5): Location! - The room was clean, location is great (Above a mall) Breakfast needs a bit of improvement
- Chris (10/5): Great room - The room has very large, clean and well equipped. Very good quality throughout. We asked for a quiet room and it was very quiet. Above a large shopping mall. Many restaurants in the mall and nearby. Some good bats too. Nothing to dislike
- Sher Lynn (9/5): Convenient well-equipped stay with the best food choices around. - Lovely stay, convenient location surrounded by tons of food. Navigating there was easy, staff were helpful and friendly. The shampoo and soap provided were of amazing quality and smelled great! Loved that they were as eco-friendly as they could be by providing water-pitchers and cutleries. Kitchen was thoroughly prepared for any form of cooking and the room had all the amenities necessary to stay. Some fixtures were a bit loose in the room. Bathroom wastepaper bin was slippery and difficult to use. Sofa cushions were a little sunken and the comforters did feel as soft as other hotels.
- Kalvvinder Jeet Singh (8/5): Short comfy stay - Comfy beds, towel and toiletries provided. Friendly and helpful staff. All others good The water in bathroom is clogged within minutes during shower. Drains very very very slow.
- TANEE (8/5): - Good locations, staff very nice and the room is clean
- MF (8/5): Friendly staff but room needs a deep clean - Excellent location. Surrounded by great food all round. Room needs a deep clean. It shouldn't be hard to do during off peak periods.
- Barath (9/5): -
- SK (10/5): -
- GAYATHIRY (6/5): The staff were helpful and friendly, but the cleanliness needs significant improvement. - Staff were friendly and helpful Cleanliness was very poor and below expectations. Improvement is strongly needed.
- Agnes (9/5): -
- JASON LIM (10/5): -
- Tan (8/5): Please do not prioritise energy saving on your end and at the expense of guest comfort. - Location and cleanliness. Air-con was set to a fixed temperature that was not cool enough for comfortable stay.
Air-con was not adjustable to be lowered for decent comfort.
- Andrew (9/5): - More guidance in advance that to drive to the hotel car park requires passing through 2 barriers.
- Bahari Tien Hong (10/5): -
- Sue-Anne (10/5): -
- Nattabhumi (8/5): Moderate. Needs to improve on pricing for what it offers. - Room is spacey. As expected. Facilities are quite old including gym, swimming pool. Breakfast area is far from ideal for the price we paid.
- Arfaishah (10/5): -
- Guo Quan (10/5): -
- Amer Matridi (9/5): - The room was large with a kitchen and small living room. None.
- Rebecca (9/5): Family friendly spacious - A nice change from our usual hotel. Spacious unit enough for 2 pax. Staff at the hotel are friendly. The hotel is supporting sustainability but not enough information on how the guest can help eg. Change of sheets and towels etc. Shopping mall is connected to the building, though is not big as compared to 1 utama mall but can find essential shops like supermarket, pharmacy food court, bakery, restaurants and cafes. .Plenty of eateries eg village park nasi lemak and massage places are around the area. No. Didn't use the facilities and breakfast.
- Lay Yen (8/5): Very Good - Convenient, big room Pillow too soft

- Dash Mann (9/5): Amazing place and super easy. Highly recommend. - I had a really great stay at Somerset Damansara Uptown Petaling Jaya! The location was perfect and my workplace was right next door, which made everything super easy and convenient. The room was spacious, cosy, and very comfortable. I also really enjoyed the facilities, everything was clean, well-maintained, and made my stay even better. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I’d definitely stay here again! Overall was really good, I just wanted a sauna that is all.
- KOID (9/5): -
- Krishna (3/5): - Food arrangement not proper. A basic inhouse quickmeal facility would help

- Chanseewong (10/5): -
- AIMI AYUNI BINTI (9/5): - Everything. The staff even upgraded my room when they don't have the room I supposed to stay in. Choices of breakfast can be varied
- Ogbonna (10/5): -
- Hui Li (8/5): Great stay - Beside a big mall with loads of food options. Nearby has some nice food. Room is big, comes with a kitchenette, living room, toilet. Only have one small pack of tissue in the big room. A bit hard to get grab out of the hotel in the morning, inconvenient.

- Zi Jun (10/5): -
- Kent Story (10/5): -
- Marianne (9/5): Convenient. Comfortable. - Location very convenient. Surrounded by good Eateries and mall next door Hiccup with my booking and another guest which resulted in the other guest being given keys to my room even though I had checked in earlier. System should have alerted staff that room was already occupied. The staff apologised for mistake but please have system in place so it does not happen again

- Chee (9/5): Superb -
- Shufei (8/5): Pleasant - Location - fantastic. The on-ground staff (the ones opening doors, leading taxis, etc) were so helpful and friendly. Super convenient for Starling Mall enthusiasts. Also, whoever cleaned rooms - extremely trustworthy and I hope your pillows are always cool. Pillows weren't it, had neck cramps 😂
- Keyshurn (3/5): Good Room, Terrible Service – Won’t Be Coming Back - This was my second visit to the property. I appreciated being upgraded to a double-room apartment for a reasonable additional fee. The room was spacious and well-maintained, with clean amenities and a convenient location. Most of the facilities were in good working condition, though one of the rain showers was malfunctioning. Overall, I was pleased with the cleanliness and comfort of the space. Despite the property being decent, my overall experience was extremely disappointing—primarily due to the way the front desk staff handled my check-in and inquiries. The staff lacked basic customer service skills, responding with repeated “no”s to every question without any intention to help, unless pushed hard to take action.
The most unacceptable part was the attempt to overcharge me for bringing two pets. The standard room rate was RM800 per night, but the staff quoted me a total of RM1600 for a single-night stay—essentially trying to double the price. When I asked for a breakdown, I was told there was a 10% surcharge per pet. However, basic math shows that 10% of RM800 is RM80—not another RM800.
When I challenged the charge, the staff gave vague and inconsistent justifications, saying, “That’s the property’s policy.” It was only after I showed proof of a previous stay—where I was charged RM180 for 2 nights with the same pets—that he reluctantly agreed to apply the same charge. Even that didn’t make sense, as this stay was only for one night.
It was already past 10:30 PM when I arrived with my family, and instead of a smooth check-in, I had to argue and justify myself over an illogical and exploitative fee. The whole process felt like a blatant attempt to take advantage of guests—especially those with pets who are left with little choice late at night.
I left feeling scammed, exhausted, and completely disrespected. This level of dishonesty and poor service is unacceptable, and unless there is serious improvement in staff conduct and transparency in pricing. The frontline is good, but lack necessary skills to understand customer point of view. I will not be returning.
- Raihah (10/5): Good - everything breakfast spread
- Hsiao Wei (8/5): - Great location, very spacious area. We were grateful they allowed us to have late checkout. Checkin was fairly smooth. However one of the toilet seats was quite worn out.
- Tanmoy (8/5): Very good - Gud location clean AC dun cool both for bedroom n hall
- Jeremy (9/5): Very good - Clean and big
- Nor (8/5): Very good -
- Shailen (10/5): - Great service, and excellent hotel. All the staff were helpful from people to help with luggage, reception and house keeping. Good location great room. Only negative is breakfast - provided by third party restaurant in the attached mall. It was ok, staff there were very helpful, not perhaps quality that I would expect from an otherwise excellent place.
