What recent reviews say

Low rating (3.3/5) driven largely by persistent structural issues. Residents consistently report severe pest problems (cockroaches in old wooden flooring), astronomical utility costs (RM200+ electricity, RM36-80 water monthly at commercial rates), poor building design (overheating, no ventilation), confusing navigation, and unhelpful staff responses. A few note management improvements and affordable base rent, but hidden costs and maintenance issues outweigh the initial savings. Short-term stays may differ from longer tenancies.

Praised for
  • Affordable rent compared to nearby developments
  • Management improvements over recent years
Watch-outs
  • Severe cockroach infestation in units and building
  • Extremely high electricity bills at commercial rates
  • Poor building ventilation and design, gets very hot
  • Confusing layout and poor wayfinding signage

  • Unreliable mobile signal on some floors
  • Slow lifts
  • Limited nearby dining and facilities

Empire Damansara Soho 1, Renting Service

3.8(340)✓ Google-verified

Empire Damansara Soho 1 works best as a short-term staycation spot: reviewers praise the secure building, clean food courts, and calm atmosphere for relaxing indoors. Long-term renters face a different reality-broken lifts (often only 2 of 4 running), frequent pest complaints linked to poor ventilation, hefty commercial-rate electricity bills, and staff who residents describe as dismissive and uncooperative.

Reflection Residences

4.2(138)

Reflection Residences attracts residents for its proximity to Mutiara Damansara's MRT, The Curve, and IPC shopping. Security and upkeep earn consistent praise. However, renters report frustration with landlords aggressively deducting deposits over cosmetic changes and minor fixtures, and units vary widely in quality and parking availability.

Residents appreciate the location in Damansara Perdana and note the building is well maintained despite its age. However, communication with security staff proves frustrating for many, and parking congestion has caused significant delays.
