Unbelievable Luxury: Berjaya Times Square's Secret Element Service Suite!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the glittery, chaotic, and occasionally bewildering world of Unbelievable Luxury: Berjaya Times Square's Secret Element Service Suite! and I am going to give you the TRUTH. Forget the PR drivel, I’m talking REAL experience, folks. Prepare for a review that's less "polished brochure" and more "drunkenly scribbled post-it note."
First Impressions & Accessibility – The Rollercoaster Begins (and Maybe the Elevator Too)
Listen, Berjaya Times Square is… well, it’s a lot. Imagine a shopping mall, a theme park, and a hotel had a baby. That's Berjaya. Getting to the Secret Element Suite felt like navigating a labyrinthine video game level. Seriously, the sheer scale of the place is intimidating.
Accessibility? Okay, here’s the thing. The suites themselves seem pretty good, from what I could gather. The online listing DOES mention Facilities for disabled guests, so that's a plus. But getting around the entire complex… Honestly? It’s a beast. Elevator access is crucial, and I think there are enough, but it's hard to tell in the sheer crush of people. Wheelchair accessibility is… I'm cautiously optimistic. It should be decent in the suites themselves, but navigating the actual maze of shops and attractions? Could be a challenge.
Internet Access: Wi-Fi Warriors Rejoice!
Thank the tech gods! The suite boasted Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it was actually decent! Important given the Internet access – wireless available. Speed was good, at least in my suite, which meant I could actually get some work done without wanting to throw my laptop out the window. They also advertise Internet [LAN] which is cool for nostalgia, but seriously, who uses LAN these days? (Besides me, sometimes, when I'm feeling particularly retro).
Room-by-Room: My Sanctuary or My Prison?
Alright, the suite itself. It’s… luxurious. Like, "I could get used to this" luxurious. But let's be real: Air conditioning is your BFF in Malaysia. And the blackout curtains? A godsend. Seriously. Slept like a baby in that cocoon of darkness.
In-room amenities are surprisingly good: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone (who even USES these anymore?), Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale (judgement city), Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
The mini bar was tempting. The sofa was perfect for collapsing on after a long day of… things. Daily housekeeping was a lifesaver. And that bathtub? Oh, sweet, sweet bathtub.
Cleanliness, Safety, and the Pandemic Punch:
Okay, let's get to the serious stuff. Safety is understandably a major concern these days. They claim to have gone above and beyond! They boast Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, and Sterilizing equipment. The room sanitization opt-out is a nice touch.
Did I see all that in action? Honestly, it’s hard to tell! You can't physically see professionalism! I did see plenty of hand sanitizer stations. And honestly, I felt relatively safe. The whole situation just made me extra paranoid.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – A Culinary Adventure (Maybe!)
This is where it gets… interesting. Berjaya Times Square has something like a million restaurants. They list A la carte in restaurant, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant. That's a whole LOTTA food options.
Here's the Truth of It: I tried the buffet breakfast. It was… fine. Standard hotel buffet fare. I think they catered to a broad range of cuisines. They were all… there. The coffee shop was convenient. The poolside bar? Well, I didn't actually make it to the pool. Too much shopping!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Or at Least, Attempt To)
Okay, this is where the Berjaya Times Square craziness really shines. They have Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor].
The sheer volume of options is dizzying! The fitness center looked decent. I might have gone if I hadn't spent all day shopping. There's a pool with a view. And probably a sauna and steam room. I was overwhelmed, basically.
Services & Conveniences – The Behind-the-Scenes Heroes
This is where things get REALLY helpful: Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center.
Concierge was helpful. Daily housekeeping kept me from living in a trash heap. Having a convenience store nearby was clutch. The luggage storage was a lifesaver. The currency exchange was helpful, I guess.
For the Kids (and the Inner Child in All of Us)
They list Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. It's a Disneyland adjacent type vibe. So, if you have kids, and want a hotel in the middle of a mall and a theme park, you might be in heaven!
Getting Around – The Great Escape (or at Least, Departure)
Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking. Getting to and from the hotel was a breeze.
The Quirks, The Imperfections, and My Emotional Rants:
Okay, here's where the mask comes off. Berjaya Times Square is not perfect. The sheer size is overwhelming. The crowds can be intense. Navigating is a skill, and the hallways are a maze. But you know what? That’s part of the charm, in a weird way.
The Honest Truth and My Final Verdict:
Unbelievable Luxury: Berjaya Times Square's Secret Element Service Suite? It's a mixed bag. The suites are plush and comfortable. The amenities are plentiful. The location is… an experience. It's not for everyone. If you crave quiet solitude, run screaming. If you like being in the heart of all the action, then THIS is your place.
My Score: 7.5/10.

Elements Service Suite at Berjaya Times Square: A Hot Mess (But a Wonderful One)
Day 1: Arrival, Disorientation, and Déjà Vu
1:00 PM: Touchdown Kuala Lumpur! (Or, the Mild Panic of "Lost in Translation")
Okay, so I got off the plane, already sweating like I'd run a marathon in a sauna (damn that humidity!). Finding the airport transfer was like navigating a labyrinth designed by a sadist. Finally, after a near-meltdown fueled by caffeine withdrawal and a rogue luggage wheel, I'm in a car, heading to Berjaya Times Square. The driver, bless his heart, spoke about as much English as I speak Bahasa Malaysia (which is, sadly, none). We were communicating through enthusiastic hand gestures and the universal language of "point and grin."
2:30 PM: Check-in. And then, the Room.
The suite at Elements… okay, it's bigger than my actual apartment back home! Living room, kitchen, two bedrooms… it's almost intimidating. The first thought? "I'm gonna get lost in here." The second? "Where's the damn Wi-Fi password?" After a frantic search and a minor argument with the internet (I swear, technology hates me), I'm connected. Time to unpack – a task I usually postpone indefinitely.
4:00 PM: The dreaded "First Impression" Disaster.
I tried to figure out the AC, the lights, the TV… I failed miserably. I ended up drenched in sweat, the room was a mess, and I was seriously considering crawling back into bed and ordering room service for the rest of the trip.
6:00 PM: Dinner and the Mall Maze
Berjaya Times Square is a city within a city. Seriously, it's insane! The food court is a dazzling, overwhelming explosion of smells and choices. I wandered for a solid 20 minutes before settling on… well, I'm not even sure what it was. Some kind of noodle soup thing? But hey, it was cheap and tasted pretty good.
8:00 PM: Theme park? Let's do this!
After dinner, I attempted to visit the indoor theme park. I say "attempted" because it was packed with kids, screaming their heads off. I did manage to get on a rollercoaster though, and I am not ashamed to say I screamed louder than any of them.
Day 2: Exploring, Regrets, and That Moment of Clarity
9:00 AM: Breakfast… or a Near-Fatal Encounter with the Coffee Maker
I attempted to make coffee. The coffee maker exploded. Okay, not exploded, but it clearly didn't like me. My kitchen skills are clearly lacking.
10:00 AM: A Bit of Retail Therapy to Soothe the Soul (And Maybe Find a Replacement Coffee Maker).
Okay, so Berjaya Times Square is also a MASSIVE shopping mall. I got a bit lost, bought some super-cute (and totally unnecessary) souvenirs, and emerged with a lighter wallet and a feeling of general satisfaction. Shopping, am I right?
12:00 PM: Lunch with a View (Maybe a Slightly Smoggy One).
There's a restaurant on a high floor (forgot the name, apologies, my memory is shot, right?), and the view of the city is pretty cool, even through the haze. The food was also good, and the service was incredibly friendly, even with my attempts to order in broken Malay.
2:00 PM: Back to theme park
I thought "It can't be that bad," but it was. But this time, I also went for the 4D ride. That was a mistake, but the kid inside me was very pleased with the fun.
4:00 PM: Back to the room
Too much excitement and I was exhausted. I spent an hour napping.
7:00 PM: Dinner… and a Revelatory Moment
I got some street food at Jalan Alor, a food street. My taste buds exploded. It's the best part of the day. I realized: I needed to let go of the idea that this trip had to be perfect, that every moment had to be carefully planned. And that, my friends, was a liberating realization.
Day 3: Departure (and Promises to Return… Eventually)
9:00 AM: A Last Glimpse of City
I had one last coffee (purchased from a cafe this time! Disaster averted), watched the city wake up, and I felt a moment of peace.
11:00 AM: The Goodbye
Checking out was surprisingly easy. Saying goodbye to my massive suite felt a tiny bit sad, but also kind of relieved. The luggage, the airport, the flight. I'm ready for it all.
1:00 PM: Last thoughts
Back to the hotel to get the luggage and head to the airport.
2:00 PM: Leaving for the airport
I'm already planning my return.
Final Thoughts:
Berjaya Times Square and Elements Service Suite? It's a wild ride. It's chaotic, sometimes frustrating, and definitely not always perfect. But it's also full of unexpected joys, culinary adventures, and moments of pure, unadulterated fun. It's a place where you can make mistakes, get gloriously lost, and still have an amazing time. And isn't that what travel is all about?

Berjaya Times Square Secret Element Service Suite: Your Burning Questions (and My Extremely Biased Answers)
Okay, Okay, Spill the Beans! What *IS* this 'Secret Element' thing anyway? Is it even real?
Alright, bucket-list-breaker, let's be real. "Secret Element" sounds like some James Bond villain's lair, doesn't it? Honestly? It *kind of* is. Think… upgraded luxury. Think a level of 'we-actually-care-about-you' that'll make you question everything you thought you knew about hotel rooms. It *is* real, though. Trust me. I spent a weekend there, and I'm pretty sure my jaw is still permanently dislocated from all the… well, you’ll see. It's their *premium* offering, the crème de la crème of Berjaya Times Square. Higher floors. Private lifts (hello, serious VIP vibes). And service? Forget room service, honey. They KNOW you. They've already anticipated your midnight ice cream craving (and stocked the freezer with premium Ben & Jerry's, no less).
So, what's *actually* included in the 'Secret Element' package? Be specific! I need details!
Alright, the details, you ask? Hold onto your hats, because this goes *deep*. Okay, picture this: Arrival. Private check-in, obviously. No plebeian queuing. Then, a suite. A HUGE suite. Separate living area, massive bedroom with a bed you could *lose* a small child in (important!). But it's the *little* things. Like, the complimentary evening cocktails (and they don't skimp on the booze), the pre-stocked fridge with *everything* (even my weird, organic kombucha obsession was catered for – seriously, WHAT?). And the bathroom. OH. MY. GOD. The bathroom. Think rainfall shower that could probably wash away a small elephant, plus a jacuzzi tub with actual jets, and enough fluffy towels to build a small fort. And…and… fresh fruit, daily. And a personalised welcome gift. And… I’m getting overwhelmed just *thinking* about it. Is it a *lot*? Yes. Is it worth it? HELL YES. But... *wait*, there´s more! They even had a dedicated concierge. Any whim. Any wish. They make it come true.
The Concierge… Seriously? Are they ACTUALLY useful? Or just a glorified phone operator?
Okay, let's talk Concierges. Because this is where the "Secret" becomes *really* special. I went to this place on a whim with a friend - who is extremely difficult and expects a level of service only a Queen would receive. The concierge was so good that my friend, who would normally complain about the wind blowing the wrong way, actually *smiled*. This is almost unheard of, and it will be a story I reference for years to come. These aren’t just phone operators, people. They're problem-solvers, time-savers, mind-readers. I lost my phone charger (my fault, obviously. I’m a disaster), and within *minutes*, a brand new one appeared at my door. Needed a last-minute dinner reservation at that incredibly exclusive restaurant that's impossible to get into? Done. Want a specific type of flower arrangement delivered to your room? Consider it arranged! They're like…hotel ninjas. They handled everything with aplomb, even when I was being completely ridiculous... which, let's be honest, happened frequently. My friend's a picky eater who requested a special menu, only to change her mind at the last minute. Total chaos. Sorted. I'm pretty sure the concierge deserves a medal.
What about the view? Is it worth the hype (and the price tag)?
The view… okay, let's talk about the view. You're on the higher floors, which means you get *stunning* panoramic views of Kuala Lumpur. Think skyscrapers kissing the clouds, twinkling city lights at night... My room was on (cough cough) a ridiculously high floor, and the view was breathtaking. It wasn't just *good*, it was *epic*. I spent a solid hour just staring out the window, feeling like I was perched on top of the world. You could see the Petronas Towers, the KL Tower… it was the kind of view that makes you want to take a deep breath and just… be. Was it worth the hype? Absolutely. Did I take approximately a million photos to bombard my friends with? You betcha. Is it a bit of a selfie-fest waiting to happen? Perhaps. But who cares when the view is *this* good?! Plus, less traffic noise! bonus!
The Price... Is it actually affordable? (Be honest!)
Okay, the elephant in the room: the price. Let's be real, this isn't backpacking budget territory. It's definitely a splurge. You're paying for the whole shebang – the luxury, the service, the location, the *experience*. Is it *affordable* in a "everyday kind of way"? No. Is it worth saving up for? Potentially, yes! It depends on what you value. If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime treat, a special occasion, a celebration… then yes, absolutely. If, however, your budget is more "instant noodles and hostel dorms," then, sadly, no. But think of it this way: consider it an investment in happiness, a temporary escape from reality, a chance to feel ridiculously pampered. Sometimes, you *need* that. Think of it as therapy, but with better towels. And endless cocktails. And a concierge who caters to your every whim.
What's something that *wasn't* perfect? Be brutally honest!
Alright, alright, I'm not completely blinded by the luxury! Here's the brutally honest truth: the elevators can get busy, especially during peak check-in/check-out times. It's a huge building, and sometimes you might have to wait a few minutes. *Gasp* The horror! And I do admit, on the first night, I did accidentally order a movie on demand that I didn't want and struggled to figure out how to get the remote working. It was my fault, but it took me longer than I'd freely admit to get it sorted. Also, the direct access to the mall can be both a blessing and a curse. It's convenient, sure, but you also have to navigate the crowds. And… Okay, I'm struggling here! Honestly, the only "negative" I can even *slightly* conjure up is the aforementioned elevator wait. But even that isn't a dealbreaker. It's a small price to pay for the overall experience, honestly. This is me REALLY reaching for a flaw. I am now convinced there are no flaws. And I'm totally okay with that.
Would you go back? And, more importantly, would YOU pay for it yourself?
Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Do I dream about it? Every. Single. Day. Would I pay for it myself? Now that’s the real questionRest Nest Hotels
