Had a really good stay at Space Residency! You can definitely tell this place is going to be a total gem once it's 100% finished.Check-in was pretty smooth—the building is run by a management company, so you just head up to their office on the 2nd floor to grab your room key card. They use a pre-assigned car park lot system, which is great because you get a guaranteed spot. The only small catch is that the specific lot can be a bit tricky and hard to find at first, so definitely take your time...

Room was very spacious. There were some stains on the kitchen island, bed quilt and toilet bowl. Body shower was depleted. Breakfast was delicious but spread was just ok. Overall still a good hotel. Might stay again due to location.

We arrived early and knew check in was at 3pm but we were willing to wait. The female front desk staff told us that she can only register us as guests but for room availability, we had to check again at 2pm. However after waiting for about 40 minutes, a male front desk staff name Dennis came to me and informed me that they manage to get 1 room ready for us. Dennis was the epitome of professionalism. He was polite, professional and kind. He even brought the other room key card to us in our room....

Great value. Full kitchenette. Washer Dryer. Large rooms. Clean. Good amenities. Strong water presdure. Cold aircon. Good wifi. Same building as hard rock. Secured parking. Highly recommended.
Only draw back, the entire putri harbour area is quite deserted and hardly any life. Limited food options although there is a convenient store and supermarket nearby. If you have a car can stay here but drive elsewhere for entertainment and good.

It’s all about location with direct access to the mall. Room and amenities are ok. Took breakfast at L6 on day 1. Decided to take breakfast in the mall on day 2-5 instead. The non spicy food selection has room for improvement.
