First Impressions & The Sanitization Overload (Where the Love Lived)
The first thing that smacked me in the face – besides the gloriously hot air of Malaysia – was the clean. Seriously, the level of sanitization felt like a military operation. "Sanitized!" is practically tattooed on your forehead as you walk through the door. I get it, COVID, blah blah. But sometimes, it felt a little heavy-handed. I mean, there were hand sanitizers strategically placed like little, green, plastic sentinels guarding every corner. I'm not complaining, but…whew.
Accessibility: A Smooth Ride (Hopefully!)
Okay, on to the actual amenities. The website claims accessibility, and from what I could observe, they seemed to be making an honest shot. There's an elevator (essential!), and the common areas, like the restaurant and pool, appeared wheel-chair friendly. However, I confess, I wasn't exactly testing out the ramps. For a more definitive verdict, reach out to the hotel directly, but from a visual inspection, it looked promising.
Things to Do & Ways to Zone Out (Fitness Frenzy or Spa Sloth?)
Alright, let's talk about the fun stuff. Miko's Studio offers a solid array of options to unwind. They've got a fitness center, which, let's be honest, I glanced at from a distance. The pool with a view? Now we're talking. It was absolutely gorgeous, perfect for those languid afternoons. There are also decent spa facilities, including a sauna and steamroom, (a big yes from me!) plus massages, a body scrub and body wrap. Sadly I missed the spa, which is truly my bad, I guess my brain was still trying to work out how to use the remote… There will always be next time.
RANT ALERT! Speaking of which…
The Wi-Fi Saga (and the Battle of the Remotes):
Okay, here's where I lose my cool. The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! is a big selling point. But accessing it? Let's just say my blood pressure went up a notch. First, finding the password felt like a treasure hunt. Second, once I did get connected, the connection was, at best, temperamental. I spent a substantial portion of my stay wrestling with the network, muttering darkly to myself. It was truly absurd, like something from a bad sitcom. Seriously, I'm still twitching a bit just thinking about it.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking (Fueling the Fun!)
Food, glorious food! The restaurants at Miko's are a definite highlight. They boast, and deliver, a good range of food. I especially enjoyed the the asian cuisine. The breakfast [buffet] was solid, with a good mix of both Western breakfast and Asian breakfast options. The coffee shop also had a surprisingly good selection. There's also a poolside bar, and a snack bar to keep those cravings at bay. Room service [24-hour] is a godsend for those late-night cravings. They also offer Alternative meal arrangement is a big plus for picky eaters, just like me!.
The Room: Clean, Comfy, and… Remote Control Anxiety.
The room itself was lovely! Air conditioning blasted, the bed was comfy, and the bathrobes were soft and fluffy. BUT, that remote control situation! (See the Wi-Fi rant above). There was a Complimentary tea, which I thought was a nice touch. Blackout curtains were also great.
Cleanliness & Safety: The Sanitization Saga Continues!
Okay, back to the safety stuff. Daily disinfection in common areas. Anti-viral cleaning products. Rooms sanitized between stays. The list goes on. I felt incredibly safe, even if it felt a little like living inside a sterile medical lab. The staff were also very accommodating and followed all necessary protocols. The only negative I found was on the lack of the Pets allowed option.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things Make a Difference.
The hotel offered a comprehensive range of services, from concierge services to the laundry service. The elevator was a necessity, and the Daily housekeeping was excellent. They also offered Car park [free of charge], a big plus!.
For the Kids: (I Did Not Have Any. Just Saying)
While I didn't have any kids tagging along, Miko's Studio caters to families, with Family/child friendly, and Kids meal options.
Getting Around (Navigating Shah Alam)
Getting around was relatively easy. Taxi service is readily available, and they also offer Airport transfer services. It's worth considering renting a car if you plan on exploring the area extensively.
Final Verdict: Worth the Escape? (With a Big BUT…)
Miko's Studio is a solid choice for a 2-person getaway. The rooms are lovely, the pool is a dream, the food is good, and they clearly take cleanliness very seriously. HOWEVER, the Wi-Fi situation (and the remote control situation) nearly drove me insane. If you're tech-dependent like me, come prepared to deal with some potential frustration. Otherwise, prepare for a peaceful, well-maintained escape! Would I go back? Probably. Would I bring my own portable router? YES!

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly polished travel itinerary. This is… my chaotic, over-the-top, probably-going-to-forget-half-the-stuff itinerary for a stay at Miko's Studio in Setia Alam. Two bodies. Lots of potential for disaster (and hopefully, hilarity).
Miko's Studio Madness: Setia Alam, Shah Alam - 2 Pax (SANITIZED! Hopefully.)
Day 1: Arrival, Anxiety, and Air Conditioning (Let's Hope It Works!)
- 1:00 PM: Land in Kuala Lumpur. Okay, deep breaths. Airport to Setia Alam. Taxi? Grab? Honestly, I'm already picturing myself lost in a sea of confused faces and aggressive taxi drivers. But hey, the "luxury" of Miko's Studio awaits! Gotta love the promise of a sanitized space. Praying it actually *IS* sanitized. My inner germaphobe is already prepping the hand sanitizer arsenal.
- 2:30 PM (ish): Arrive at Miko's. Praying the check-in process is smooth. I’m also praying that the actual studio looks like the pictures. (You know, the ones that always make everything look impossibly spacious and Pinterest-worthy?) And most important thing: the air-conditioning… Praying that it’s not some weak, wheezing old unit that’s more like a lukewarm breeze. Seriously, Malaysia heat is no joke.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Unpack. This is where the reality check hits. Is there enough closet space? Is the bathroom actually usable (and, again, SANITIZED)? Will I immediately trip over the luggage because I can't organize myself? Probably all of the above.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Re-assess life. Quick Grocery run. Snack attack! We're aiming for convenience, not a Michelin-star experience. I'm thinking chips, maybe some delicious Malaysian fruits - if I'm brave enough to face the fruit market.
- 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM: Chill time, Netflix and maybe… a nap? Ugh, I'm already tired. But the thought of unwinding in a different bed sounds so tempting.
- 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM: Dinner. We're aiming for something local, affordable, and hopefully delicious. Maybe a night market? Or, if I’m being honest, the closest place with air-conditioning. Food stalls are tempting but it needs to be hygienic.
- 8:00 PM - Late: Evening stroll around Setia Alam. Try to get our bearings. Maybe find a convenience store for more snacks. Or maybe just collapse on the bed with a magazine and a whispered prayer for a good night's sleep. I'm already predicting a battle with jet lag.
Day 2: The Food Coma and the Search for the Perfect Teh Tarik
- 8:00 AM - 9:00AM: Wake up or get woken up?! Depends on who’s sleeping. I like to wake up early, and this is an important note because my travel mate loves to sleep in so a lot of argument is expected. Breakfast. Let’s aim for authentic local food, but I want options and also a good coffee. I don't do well on an empty stomach, I get moody.
- 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Morning exploration. We are looking for somewhere with delicious local food. I have read about a place that looks promising so let's give it a shot. Also need a good restaurant for dinner, so we will have to look around.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Afternoon siesta! Time for a nap.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Head to the local shopping mall. To see if there is anything interesting. And maybe find some nice, comfy clothes. The air conditioning is going to be a bliss.
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: The hunt for the perfect Teh Tarik. I'm obsessed. Gotta find that creamy, frothy, milky tea of my dreams. I have heard there's a stall near the marketplace that's supposed to make a killer brew. Wish me luck. (My inner critic is already preparing for disappointment.)
- 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner. Hopefully, we find a great restaurant here.
- 8:00 PM - Late: Back to the studio. Maybe a movie night? Or just… collapse. We'll see.
Day 3: "Culture" and Departure (Praying I Survive)
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Breakfast, more coffee.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Check out of Miko’s and head to the airport
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Arriving and depart.
The Unscheduled Disaster Zone:
- Lost luggage: Oh god, please no. But if it happens, I’m channeling my inner MacGyver and figuring out how to survive on duct tape and sheer willpower.
- Language barriers: My Malay is… well, non-existent. Expect a lot of pointing, exaggerated hand gestures, and the phrase "Satu lagi, tolong!" (translation: "Another one, please!")
- Unexpected rain: Malaysia is known for its thunderstorms and rainy days. If it rains, I'm gonna hide in the studio and watch Netflix.
- Food poisoning: I'm terrified. (Cue the hand sanitizer.)
- My travel buddy and I get into a huge fight: Praying we’ll survive this trip!
Important Notes (aka, My frantic scribbles):
- Phone charger: Seriously, I'm lost without it.
- Adaptor: Praying I remembered to pack it.
- Sunscreen: Because my skin is basically a delicate flower.
- Comfortable shoes: I'm not about that blister life.
- Snacks: Always snacks.
- Patience: For myself, my travel buddy, and the universe at large.
This itinerary is more of a suggestion, a guideline, a vaguely organized collection of hopes and fears. It's not perfect, and it's probably going to go completely off the rails. But hey, that's the beauty of travel, right? The unexpected adventures, the silly mistakes, the moments that will make you laugh for years to come. Now, wish me luck. I'm going in. Wish me luck, I'm going in.

Okay, spill the tea. Is this place REALLY as "chic" as it sounds in the title? My Instagram feed is begging to know.
"Sanitized!" is emphasized. Were you actually *scared* of germs? Spill those sanitizer bottles, my friend.
2-Pax Sanctuary? What's the vibe? Romantic getaway? BFF bonding? Existential crisis with a view? Give me the lowdown.
The Kitchen? I need coffee. And snacks. Is it a legit kitchen, or just a sad microwave?
What about the *location*? Shah Alam, is that... fun? Or just... convenient?
Okay, fine. But what REALLY stood out? What was the *one thing* that made you go, "Wow, this is worth it!"?
Any downsides? Be honest! We can handle the truth.
Would you go back? Like, right now? Pack your bags, or pass?
