EkoCheras Duplex: KL's Most Luxurious Duplex You HAVE to See!
EkoCheras Duplex: KL's Most Luxurious Duplex - Seriously, You HAVE to See This! (And Here's Why)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to take you on a rollercoaster ride through the EkoCheras Duplex experience. And let me tell you, it's a lot. Forget those stuffy, cookie-cutter hotel reviews. This is the real deal, the warts and all, the "did I just accidentally spend my entire paycheck?" kind of review.
First Impressions & Accessibility: Finding My Feet (and Finding My Way!)
Right off the bat, getting there was… an adventure. Kuala Lumpur traffic, am I right? But once I navigated the chaos, the EkoCheras Duplex was surprisingly easy to find. Car park [on-site]? Check. Car park [free of charge]? Double-check! That already earned some brownie points. Airport transfer's available too, thank goodness. After my traffic ordeal, the last thing I wanted was public transport.
Now, listen, I'm relatively able-bodied, but I'm always impressed by places that think about accessibility. The facilities for disabled guests seem solid, thankfully. More importantly, the layout felt accessible. Wide hallways, and the fact that the elevator system was seamless as opposed to other place. This is a massive win in my book, because let's be honest, the hotel experience will be much better if you can navigate it.
Check-in: The Velvet Rope, and the Lovely Concierge
The Check-in/out [express] option is a godsend for the impatient (aka, me). The Front desk [24-hour] is a must-have as well. There was a lovely concierge. The lady greeted me at the door and seemed genuinely happy to help, a refreshing change from some of the robotic service I've encountered.
My Room: Paradise Found (and My Pajamas Lost!)
Alright, the room. The DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPLEX. Seriously, it’s two floors! It's what they call a "room," but really it’s a plush, two-story apartment. My jaw dropped. Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice.
Let’s dive in:
- Available in all rooms: The usual suspects (like air conditioning, hair dryer, complimentary tea, and safe box)are all there, but let's talk details, people!
- Extra Long Bed for the win! I'm a bit of a starfish sleeper, so extra space is critical. The Blackout curtains were also a lifesaver. I slept like a baby (after I was up every half hour to check out the VIEW).
- Seating area and Sofa: Crucial for sprawling, reading, and generally feeling like a king (or queen).
- Private bathroom with a separate shower/bathtub. Sigh. I love this. And the bathrobes? Soft, fluffy, and totally made me feel like I was living a celebrity lifestyle.
- Internet access – wireless (aka free Wi-Fi) because, duh. Let’s be honest, I was immediately uploading selfies. I should also mention that there's Internet [LAN] and Internet access – LAN, which is a plus for those who are into that kind of thing.
- Mirror that made me feel like I was the main character in a movie, and the reading light made a perfect vibe.
- Additional toilet? Yes, because who wants to climb downstairs in the middle of the night?
- Laptop workspace: Essential for those moments when you remember you actually have to work.
- Mini bar: My weakness.
- Daily/Housekeeping: They come everyday to clean the room, which leaves me feeling more refreshed and clean.
The "Things To Do" Rundown: Relaxation Level = Expert
Okay, so here's where EkoCheras Duplex really shines: the amenities. I spent a solid afternoon testing out the pool with a view. It was breathtaking, I think. I’m not kidding, I nearly choked on my smoothie while taking in the vista. Just, wow.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: The main pool is gorgeous and spacious.
- Poolside bar: For fruity cocktails and general poolside luxury.
- Fitness center: I intended to go. Let's just say the bed and the view won out. (Maybe next time!)
- Spa/sauna: I did, however, make it to the spa. And, oh my god. I got a massage. Pure bliss. My shoulders haven’t felt this loose in years. They also offer Body scrub and Body wrap services, but I didn't try those. Maybe next time!
- Steamroom: I can't live without the steam room.
Dining: From Breakfast Buffets to Midnight Snacks (and Foodie Adventures)
The restaurants at EkoCheras Duplex are seriously impressive.
- Breakfast [buffet]: The buffet was epic. Seriously, the size and options were the best! Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, all the works.
- Coffee shop: Perfect for grabbing your morning caffeine fix (or an afternoon pick-me-up).
- Room service [24-hour]: So, I may or may not have ordered room service at 3 AM. The A la carte in restaurant is good, and they also have other options.
- Snack bar: For those late-night cravings.
- Restaurants: The options range from Asian cuisine to International cuisine. Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind in a Pandemic World
Okay, let's get real. Safety and cleanliness are HUGE right now. I was genuinely impressed.
- Hand sanitizer everywhere.
- Staff trained in safety protocol
- Anti-viral cleaning products
- Rooms sanitized between stays.
- Daily disinfection in common areas
- Safe dining setup
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter The Quirky Bits (and the Minor Gripes)
No place is perfect, right? Here's the honest truth…
- I did struggle with the TV remote at first. (User error, probably).
- The signage could be a little clearer in certain areas. (But, hey, I’m directionally challenged.)
But honestly, these are minor quibbles.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized travel brochure. We are going full-blown, chaotic-but-hopefully-charming trip planning for a stay at that EkoCheras Duplex by Power in Kuala Lumpur. Prepare for the ride.
EkoCheras Duplex Debacle: A Kuala Lumpur Kickabout (with a whole heap of chaos)
Day 1: Arrival and The Great IKEA Hunt (Oh God, the IKEA…)
- Morning (or, depending on flight delays, maybe afternoon?): Touchdown in KLIA. The flight was… well, let's just say the toddler behind me developed a vocal range that could shatter glass. First impression of KL? Humidity. It's a hug. A sweaty, clingy hug. Grab an Uber (god bless Uber; taxis are… a whole other story) and head to the EkoCheras. Fingers crossed the air conditioning is working. Rambling thought: I've always wanted to live in a place with a balcony. This duplex better deliver.
- Afternoon/Evening: Check-in. Pray the place looks like the pictures. (Pro-tip: Always add a solid 20% onto the "actual" size in the photos). Get settled. Unpack (or attempt to; I'm terrible at folding.) The duplex is… decent. A little less “luxury penthouse” and a little more “clean and functional,” but hey, the view is something.
- The Great IKEA Quest: Okay, so there’s a massive IKEA nearby. I’d heard whispers, legends even, of its sprawling magnificence. So, of course, I decided to be ambitious and, in the name of “settling in”, I wanted to buy a whole shelf to feel like a local. My mistake. I'm an idiot. The sheer scale of IKEA. The relentless blue and yellow. The crowds. The endless, repetitive loop of "Baby Shark" playing over the speakers. My brain turned to mush. I found myself aggressively eating Swedish meatballs just to feel something. This. Is. Hell. After 3 hours, I stumbled out, victorious (shelf secured!), but emotionally and physically depleted. Dinner: Grab some food from the food court (it's easier to handle than me right now).
Day 2: Culture Clash (and Food Coma)
- Morning: Coffee. Strong coffee. Needed to recover from the IKEA trauma. Plan for the day: Visit the Batu Caves. Picturesque, right? Nope. It's more like a climb involving about 200 steps, the smell of incense, and a whole lot of monkeys who are very interested in your snacks. One tried to steal my sunglasses. I swear. Rant: I love monkeys, but why are they such little… thieves?
- Afternoon: Explore the caves. It's beautiful, actually, in a slightly overwhelming, musty-cavern-y sort of way. Take way too many photos. Get accosted by a local offering a "quick photo" with a bird. He's aggressive. I escape.
- Food Coma Time: Food market heaven. This is where things get interesting (and delicious). I started at the stalls and couldn't stop. Sampling everything just to feel everything. Tried Nasi Lemak (obsessed!), Char Kway Teow (fried noodles, the best!), and some weird, delicious durian-flavored dessert that made my taste buds sing. Confession: I think I might be addicted to Malaysian food. Is there a support group?
- Evening: Stumble back to the duplex. Seriously, I could barely waddle. Netflix and (attempted) relaxation.
Day 3: Retail Therapy, Temples, and Meltdown
- Morning: Shopping. More shopping because, why not? There's a mega mall in the area. I feel nothing. A quick stop at a local cafe.
- Afternoon: Decide to visit a local temple. The energy is fantastic but I found that it's overstimulating. I'm struggling to absorb everything.
- Evening: Dinner with local friends. The conversation turns to local politics, the cost of living, and the challenges of daily life. I'm overwhelmed. I'm just tired and homesick. I have a quiet meltdown in the bathroom, crying a little on the way to my bed. I just want to sleep.
Day 4: Recovery and Reflection
- Morning: Sleep in. Order room service. Feel better. The view from the balcony is actually pretty great.
- Afternoon: Go for a walk, exploring the neighborhood. Grab some coffee, read a book. The city is busy but I'm strangely calm.
- Evening: Late, quiet dinner at a smaller restaurant. I'm taking a lot of notes. Going through the pictures. I'm ready for the next one.
Day 5: Departure
- Morning: Last-minute packing (aka frantically throwing things into a suitcase). Double-check for chargers. Pay the crazy expensive Uber. Take tons of pictures of the duplex balcony.
- Afternoon: Airport. Flight. Goodbye, KL.
Overall Assessment of EkoCheras (and Kuala Lumpur in general):
It's a mixed bag. The duplex was… fine. The location was good, once I navigated the traffic. The food? Glorious. The culture? Overwhelming but fascinating. The crowds? A bit much. The monkeys? Little thieves.
Would I go back? Absolutely. (Just maybe not to IKEA). KL is definitely a city that gets under your skin, even if some of the skin is a little… sweaty.
Final Note: Remember, this is my experience of KL. Yours will probably be different, and hopefully a little less chaotic. But hey, a little chaos is good for the soul, right? Right?!

EkoCheras Duplex: The Rollercoaster Ride (of Luxury!) You Didn't Know You Needed - FAQ
Okay, let's be real. Seeing "luxurious duplex" in the title had me picturing something stuffy, a bit... sterile. But EkoCheras Duplex? This place is a vibe. But before you hand over your hard-earned cash (or dream of doing so), let's dive into the nitty-gritty. And trust me, it gets nitty-gritty.
1. Is it *actually* luxurious, or just overpriced and fancy-looking?
Alright, let's get this out of the way. The word "luxurious" gets thrown around like confetti these days. But, after wandering through the show unit (and shamelessly touching everything - sorry, sales guy!), I have to say, yeah, it's *pretty* luxurious. The materials? Top-notch. The finishes? Impeccable. Think sleek, modern lines, and enough space to, like, actually *breathe*. (Something I struggle with in my shoebox apartment.)
But... and this is a *big* but... luxury can be subjective. Is it the *most* luxurious? Debatable. Are there more extravagant digs in KL? Absolutely. But the quality and design are undeniable. It's not just about the price tag; it's about the feel. And it feels... expensive. In a good way. Mostly.
2. What's the duplex *actually* like inside? Real talk, no sugarcoating.
Okay, so picture this: You walk in, and BOOM. High ceilings. Light pouring in. A sense of... *space*. My first thought? "Woah, I could totally do yoga here... if I actually *did* yoga." (Spoiler alert: I don't. I prefer Netflix and the couch.)
The living room is designed for entertaining. Or, you know, pretending you're entertaining. The kitchen? Dreamy. I'm not much of a cook, but I could *totally* imagine myself becoming a gourmet chef in that space. Maybe. There's a beautiful balcony, too, perfect for sipping coffee and pretending you're sophisticated. Which, let’s be honest, I’m not.
The bedrooms? Huge. The bathrooms? Spa-like. (Heck, I'd consider living in the bathroom if the rent was reasonable. Which, at EkoCheras... isn't.) Overall, it’s a well-designed space. But… and I can't stress this enough… you really need to see it in person. Photos don't quite capture the magic, or the sheer scale of the place.
3. Location, location, location – is it actually convenient, or a pain in the *butt*?
Alright, Cheras. It's got a rep. But EkoCheras is *right* in the thick of it, next to MRT station! Honestly, it makes getting around KL surprisingly easy. Traffic can still be a beast, but the MRT access is a HUGE win. Plus, everything you need is, like, *right there*. Malls, restaurants, cinemas... you name it. It's definitely a convenience factor. I honestly was expecting more of a hassle!
The downside? Well, you're in a dense urban area. Expect the usual city sounds – traffic, construction… the occasional rooster. (Okay, maybe not the rooster. But you get the idea.)
4. The Price – Is it even remotely realistic?
Okay, deep breaths. We're talking about a "luxurious" duplex in KL. So, yeah, it's not cheap. Let’s be honest – unless you’ve won the lottery or have a trust fund, you're gonna need a serious bank account. Or a very generous parents.
The price tag is enough to make my wallet weep. Look, I'm a realist. I know this type of place is out of my price range. But... a girl can dream, right? And honestly, the value seems justified in the context of the market, but yeah... it's still a big gulp of reality. However, if you're in a position to spend, you will not be disappointed... your wallet may be, but you won't be!
5. The "Lifestyle" – What's it *really* like to live there?
This is where it gets aspirational, and boy, did I get carried away! Imagine waking up in a stunning space, grabbing a coffee at the in-house cafe (yes, it has one!), hitting the gym (which, let's be honest, I probably *wouldn't* use), then heading out to conquer the city. The rooftop infinity pool? Pure Insta-bait. The feeling of exclusivity? Palpable.
It's the kind of lifestyle where you probably meet the neighbors. And you'd have those neighbors over for a dinner party... and maybe you would, with that beautiful kitchen!
I'd have to say, though, it would actually be a pretty great place to live. A nice combination of feeling like you’re away from it all, but still be right in the middle of everything.
6. Any dealbreakers? Red flags? Things that secretly annoy you?
Okay, let's be honest, even paradise has its flaws. For me, the biggest red flag is… well, the price. (Are we surprised?) But beyond the obvious, consider the following:
- Maintenance Fees: Luxury often comes with hefty fees. Factor that in.
- Potential Noise: Despite the luxury, you're in an urban environment. Be prepared for city sounds.
- The "Vibe": Is this your tribe? Does the ultra-modern, polished aesthetic resonate with you?
One thing that initially disappointed me, but then came to appreciate, was the layout of the duplex. I expected it to feel quite large, and in comparison to my current living space, it does. But after a while, it felt... a bit like too much space! That's not a bad thing, of course. But it's just something to be aware of.
7. So, should I buy it? (Or, you know, *dream* about buying it?)
Look, I can't tell you how to spend your money. But if you're in the market for a truly luxurious space in KL, and you've got the budget, then EkoCheras Duplex is definitely worth a look. It's a well-designed, well-located, and genuinely impressive property.Top Hotel Search
