About Mercu Hotel and Residence

Mercu Hotel and Residence is listed in our directory as a serviced residence in KLCC, Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Serviced residences are a common type of home in central Kuala Lumpur. People often consider them when they want to live close to the city's offices and shops, and some owners buy them to rent out. As the name includes both 'hotel' and 'residence', it is worth asking how the building is run and how the residential units fit into it before you commit.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you decide, ask the agent or the building management for the key details. Check the tenure and the type of title, and ask to see a copy of the title or the sale and purchase documents. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether there are any outstanding charges on the unit. Find out which facilities are available, their opening hours and their condition. Because this development combines a hotel and a residence, ask how the two are managed, whether there are any rules on short-term stays, and how access and lifts are shared. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to judge noise, light and the view. Look at the common areas, parking arrangements and security. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing on the deposit, what furniture is included and who pays for repairs.
