KL's ICONIC 8-Pax Paradise: 3BR, 2 Bath Luxury! - A Review That Actually Feels Real
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because you're in for a ride. I've just wrestled my way through a stay at KL's ICONIC 8-Pax Paradise: 3BR, 2 Bath Luxury! and, let me tell you, it wasn't exactly a pristine, airbrushed brochure experience. It was…real. And honestly? Endearing. Let's chop it up, shall we?
First Impressions (and the Great Elevator Adventure):
The "Iconic" part? Yeah, it lives up to that. Located in, well, somewhere central in KL, the building itself is impressive. Getting up to the apartment? That’s your first adventure. The elevator's a bit…moody. One minute it's zooming, the next it's contemplating life and taking a solid five minutes between floors. But hey, free meditation time, right? (Unless you have a toddler with a meltdown – then it's a hostage situation in a metal box.) (Accessibility) Speaking of which, the lobby seemed reasonably accessible with elevators and ramps, although I didn't have a wheelchair to fully test it out. The overall impression was that it's trying its best, but I can't guarantee full wheelchair accessibility. It's worth a direct question to the hotel before you book.
The Apartment: Size Matters (and So Does the Coffee Maker):
The 3BR, 2 Bath? Spot on. Space is the name of the game here, folks. This place is HUGE. We were six adults and two kids, and we still had room to lose the remote control (which, by the way, is a national sport in Malaysia). The decor? A mix of modern and…well, I’m not sure what you’d call it, but it's certainly unique. Let's say it had character. The air conditioning? Glorious, thank the gods of HVAC. ( Available in all rooms And seriously, in KL, that's essential.)
(Available in all rooms, and more detailed rooms amenities such as) The extra long bed was a lifesaver for my eternally-kicking husband. The complimentary tea and coffee/tea maker were absolute necessities. Speaking of which, the coffee maker worked. Unlike some places where the coffee machine gives you a mournful sigh and spews out lukewarm tap water. The linens and towels were clean, and there were plenty of them, which is a godsend with kids. The refrigerator was a champion, keeping our Tiger beers ice cold (a vital ingredient for the evening debrief). The bathrobes and slippers were a touch of luxury. The satellite/cable channels kept the kids entertained (and us sane) during those afternoon rain showers. And yes, there was free Wi-Fi, which, let's be honest, is practically a human right these days. And it was actually reliable! ( Internet access – wireless, Wi-Fi [free] )
Room for Improvement - The Little Things:
There wasn't a microwave. Come on, guys! In a family apartment, a microwave is a lifesaver for reheating leftover nasi lemak. Little details like that would be nice. Also, the window that opens wasn't a big deal, but I appreciated not being sealed up in a hermetically sealed box.
(Cleanliness and safety) Now, the cleanliness. They claim they use Anti-viral cleaning products and have professional-grade sanitizing services, rooms are sanitized between stays and have Individual-wrapped food options. I saw the efforts (the Daily disinfection in common areas seemed frequent), and I appreciated the Hand sanitizer stations. But let's be honest, with a group of kids, you're always battling the invisible dirt gremlins. I felt generally safe, but I'm not a germaphobe, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. They do have smoke alarms and fire extinguisher. (Safety/security features).
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Foodie's Perspective (or, a Mom Who Needs Caffeine's Perspective):
(Restaurant) The food options in the hotel are decent. There is a restaurant, and I've observed Asian cuisine, Western cuisine, and International cuisine. I didn't try their A la carte in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, or Breakfast [buffet], because, honestly, I was exhausted after a day of exploring. (Breakfast service) Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service There are Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Snack bar, and Poolside bar, which is a major plus. The Happy hour was a glorious thing after wrestling the kids through the KL heat. And I totally took advantage of the Bottle of water. (Dining, drinking, and snacking)
And the BEST part: The Pool with a View!
Right, so, I need to gush about the pool. It's stunning. (Swimming pool [outdoor], Pool with view) Seriously, jaw-dropping views of the city skyline. The kids went nuts, the adults chilled out with a beer, and everything was perfect. That pool alone is worth the price of admission. There's also a Steamroom and Sauna if you feel the need to sweat out all the delicious food. (Spa/sauna)
Relaxation and Rejuvenation (or, How to Escape the Chaos for 5 Minutes):
(Ways to relax) It's not a full-blown spa, but there's a Spa, and a Fitness center if you're feeling energetic. I, however, opted for the pool (see above). There's also Massage, which I sadly didn't have time for, but it was on offer.
The Nitty Gritty: Services and Conveniences (The Boring Stuff, But Important):
(Services and conveniences) The hotel offers everything you'd expect, and some things you might not. Daily housekeeping was a blessing. There's a concierge, luggage storage, laundry service, and dry cleaning (because, you know, kids). Cash withdrawal is available if you're like me and always forget to get ringgit. The elevator situation aside, there's an elevator. There are the standard Safety deposit boxes and a 24-hour front desk. (Front desk [24-hour], Security [24-hour]). They even offer a Babysitting service, which I considered, deeply. Sadly, my kids would have sniffed out the lack of caffeine in my system and probably tried to rule the whole place.
Downsides (Because, You Know, Real Life):
The kitchen was a little sparsely equipped. I mean, enough to make basic meals, but don't expect to whip up a Michelin-star dinner. And the parking situation? The car park [free of charge] was a bit of a free-for-all, but we eventually snagged a spot.
The Verdict: Would I Go Back?
Absolutely. Despite the quirky elevator and the slightly-lacking-microwave, I'd go back in a heartbeat. The space, the view, the pool, and the overall value make it a winner, especially for a family or a group of friends. It's not perfect, but it’s charmingly imperfect. And isn't that what makes travel memories truly special?

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're heading to Kuala Lumpur, and I'm armed with a DaMen Spacious 3 Bedroom FOR 8 pax in IconiqueB13. Gonna be honest? I'm already sweating a little just thinking about coordinating eight humans. But hey, chaos is my middle name (probably). Here's the disaster, I mean, itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival - KL (Holy Mother of Luggage, Prepare Yourselves)
- Morning (or whenever we escape the airport, realistically): Land in KLIA. Ugh, airports. My natural habitat is definitely NOT a sterile metal tube filled with stressed-out tourists. Grab those pre-booked airport transfer (it's a must, trust me on this one). Pray luggage gods are with us. Pray, pray, PRAY the transfer van actually fits eight people plus all the emotional baggage.
- Afternoon: Arrival at IconiqueB13. Hopefully, the DaMen Spacious 3Bedroom lives up to its name. My biggest fear is being crammed into a shoebox. Picture this: eight tired, hangry humans, squabbling over the last remaining sofa cushion. Sounds like a laugh riot, right? (Said with a healthy dose of sarcasm). Unpack (I'm claiming the master bedroom. No discussion). Settle in. Check out the view. Breathe.
- Evening: Explore the surrounding precinct of the apartment. Head out for dinner. I'm leaning towards a hawker centre – gotta get that authentic Malaysian experience right away. Expect a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and smells. (And probably a near miss with a scooter. It's part of the charm, they say.)
Day 2: Iconic Insanity and Lost in Translation (and Possibly a Starbucks)
- Morning: Petronas Towers! Instagram gold, people. We'll (attempt to) get there early to avoid the massive lines. Prepare for selfie stick wars. Expect a significant amount of "OMG LOOK AT THIS!" and "Wait, let me get a picture of you with the tower!" My inner introvert is already weeping.
- Afternoon: Central Market. This is where the "bargaining with a smile" skills will come in handy. I'm aiming to find some souvenirs (and maybe a knockoff designer bag. Don't judge me. It's practically tradition.) Lunch at the food court – my tastebuds are ready to be obliterated by deliciousness.
- Evening: Dinner at a rooftop bar with views of the KL skyline. Cocktails. Maybe a bit of dancing (if enough of us are feeling the buzz). I'm already fantasizing about a perfectly chilled Mojito. This is where the real chaos might ensue. The language barrier might cause some entertainment, especially when ordering cocktails.
Day 3: Cultural Deep Dive (Or, Let's Get Lost in Batu Caves)
- Morning: Batu Caves. Climbing those stairs with a gaggle of humans. Pray the humidity doesn't kill us all. Expect to be slightly overwhelmed by the riot of colours and the giant golden statue. Take pictures with the monkeys, but keep a safe distance. They’re cute, but they're little thieves.
- Afternoon: Exploring the temples within the cave. Admire the intricate details, try to understand some of the history (my attention span will be tested here, to be honest).
- Evening: Trying out some different local restaurants to enjoy the variety of food.
Day 4: A Day of Rest (After Yesterday's Climb)
- Morning: Sleep in. Or at least try to.
- Afternoon: Spend some time at the pool in the apartment or enjoy the shopping malls.
- Evening: Enjoy a traditional Malaysian massage.
Day 5: Departure (And the Aftermath)
- Morning: (Maybe) a final Malaysian breakfast. Pack up our lives. Say goodbye to the apartment. Transfer back to KLIA. Brace myself for the long flight home, and the inevitable "Why did we eat that?" food poisoning that might follow.
- Afternoon: Arrival at home. Unpack. Sleep for a week. Try to remember all the amazing moments. And start planning the next adventure, because, honestly, I can't live without it.
Important Notes (Because I'm a Disaster, and I Need Reminders):
- Transportation: Grab rides. Prepare for traffic. Embrace the madness.
- Food: Try everything! (Except maybe the durian. I'm still on the fence about that one.)
- Money: Take enough cash. ATMs can be a pain and are a tourist trap in some areas.
- Patience: Required. With each other, with the heat, with the traffic, with me.
- Remember to breathe.
This, my friends, is not just an itinerary. It's a testament to my ability to plan (sort of), my love of travel, and my willingness to embrace the absolute glorious mess that is life with a group of people. Wish us luck. We'll need it. And maybe send some extra Advil.
