The Somerset Residences @ Puteri Harbour



Overview
Well since this is a Travel & Food Blog, I shall for the first time, review one of the many places I have stayed during my travels.
For my first review, I shall write about my recent one where I spent 41 days in the state of Johor, Iskandar Puteri. Puteri Harbour.

Rooms
For a start, I was staying in the King Premier Room with a modest size of 100 sq/m. It's a nice spacious room where you will find what you will find at any Service Apartments.
It came with a modest fully functional kitchenette and the
(Washer + Dryer, Fridge, Microwave)

On top of that it has a generous living room space with
a full balcony. The study is big in space as well.
I had a comfortable experience staying in this room. 
WiFi signal was excellent as each room has it's own Router. Internet Speed are good as it could accommodate my WEBEX conferences with no issues!
Now that's a must for us business travelers.

The Pool

Service & Ambiance
They have a very pleasant group of people working for this place. Checking in & out was a breeze.
The housekeeping are prompt as well, cleaning the rooms everyday except for Sunday. (Unless requested)

Perhaps the only one thing that perhaps the property could improve are the breakfast.
It is a tad too simple and for long staying guest like me, it only last a week and I stop going altogether.

The Gym
It's pretty decent, have all the needed equipment's for me. (I only run on the treadmills).
Standard towels & drinking water are available in the gym. The TV help to ease any any boredom if you are away.

The Pool is definitely not one of the best unlike it's competitor next door (Hotel Jen) but being a service apartment, it does serve it's
functionality with a nice view of the Marina with the relaxing pool chairs and Gazebos by the Pool Side. 
Bring your own F&B! 
Towels are available by the lift landing.

Getting around the property is pretty easy and its best when you start wandering around the Puteri Harbour Atrium where there are many restaurants to suit your taste buds.
Other than that, being that Puteri Harbour are not yet being fully developed, it gets pretty boring if you intend to stay in Puteri Harbour if its more than 4 days. And I survived 41 days..!
