Not Good ---- On Mid of the Year 2022
Pros:

Insufficient of Man Power
Can tell how exhausted the reception is just by looking at her soulless eyes

I told her my room aircond is not working the next morning
She dont feel bad for me at all
Not even bother

Most of the room here is without window
Ventilation were bad

No escalator
People with long hours travel schedule
you may need to climb 2~3 floor to reach your room
Damnnnnnnn

Bad, Worst, Terrible, Awful
Pros:

Terrible front desk service during check out. Rooms hygiene are all in very bad condition. Even got yellow and red stain on bed sheet I wonder did they even change it. No hairdryer, no water boiler, broken shower heater and TV, I wonder what can be worst?

Poor rating is an understatement.
Pros:

Pictures in the hotel was pretty nice, with massage machines, and clean beds. But thats a lie....

However, when i booked a family suite, the bedsheets and towels wasn’t changed after i put the makeup room sign.

Beware of the “not so friendly” attitude at the service counter.

For the same price, honestly, you can find other better hotels.

If not, pay a couple more bucks for a better hotel!

Better options nearby at same price point
Pros:

Stayed here a couple of times for proximity to One Utama shopping mall (MYR7-15 by GRAB) because the hotel there is expensive. Not sure why people would otherwise stay in Damansara since there are budget hotels in the city as well.

Plenty of amenities within walking distance such as cafes, bars, local coffeeshops. Two fantastic speakeasies are in the same row (Hyde and 61 Monarchy). Nearby street parking is free, but difficult to find especially weekend nights when it is peak period at the bars and cafes.

The cheapest room is around MYR70 (+ MYR10 if you are a foreign visitor)- no windows and just enough space for a bed and table. Sheets are stained but smell clean. Typical of such budget hotels, there is no separate compartment for shower so the water floods the entire bathroom (my pet peeve!!!). Drainage can be poor depending on your luck. No shelves to put any toiletries so you need to bring a toiletry bag or basket with a hook for your stuff. Only liquid soap provided in a mineral water bottle (mega weird).

No stairs to get to the rooms.

Horrible service
Pros:

Took 3 hours to check in. The person working at the front desk had a terrible attitude, was incredibly rude and did not take his job seriously. Besides, after the 3 hour "cleaning", room given was dirty. Toilet seat was broken.

Nice hotel to sleep
Pros:

A couple of things you must be aware before you book this room - there is another Sovotel on the other side of the area and there are rooms without windows and also, no elevators. With that out of the way, the room I stayed was small but at that price, it's expected. It is pretty clean and quiet - cos the other guests were quite courteous. If they start talking loud, etc. you might be able to hear.

Location-wise, it is good if you are looking for food in that area. There is no metro/subway nearby and you'll have to take a cab. Car park is limited and it's in the open public area even though I saw a couple of reserved spots in front - maybe you do get easy parking.

As it is a hotel repurposed from a few shophouses - don't expect any other facilities. The bed is comfortable. Aircon is quiet.

Comfortable small room
Pros:

Excellent cleanliness. Small room for standard queen size with window. Room only ready at 3pm. Toilet bowl no flushing water. That were the only negative comment from me. Shower Water pressure is good. Suggest to provide a floor mat in the room so the room flooring will not get wet when out from toilet.
Very happy with the stay. Hotel near to lots of restaurants and a shopping mall.

Small but functional room in great location
Pros:

The hotel is location in great area with lot of nice eateries (at affordable price). It is also near to large shopping malls (1Utama, eCurve).

Room-wise: The room is small but with decent queen size bed. Toilet is too small without any racks or shower curtains. Each room comes with a small massage chair which is a bliss after a day of work. But it is not suitable for work travel as the room does not come with a desk / chair.

There is no F&B options in the hotel, apart for one table and 2 chairs in the lobby. But, why pack back when you are surrounded by food options.

Cleanliness: There was no room makeup service over the 2 nights stay, despite i put up the sign. :<

Non-smoking become a smoky room
Pros:

Our room 309, I requested a non smoking room and it becomes at full of tabacco smoky room. When I inform the receptionist she just offer me a perfume spray for it. Whole night I become a nightmare staying there.
As early at 7pm I do not hesitate to check out the room.
Then I inform the receptionist again about the massage machine is spoil , but didn't seem any response from the staff.
Will not recommend SOVOTEL HOTEL to other.
By the way, because the bad air flow day after staying there I had a bad sore throat.

Nice place to stay
Pros:

There's another Sovotel branch at the other side of Uptown. Make sure you go to the right one. Wish they provide free shutter. The hotel has no lift thus have to walk up to 3rd floor with my heavy luggage. Overall is a nice place to stay -surrounded with good food and near the mall.
