This hidden gem tucked away in the 2nd floor of Riverson is a mix of cafe/Co-working space. The vibe is comfortable to work in, music is comfortable and not loud and distracting.
Recently they're serving Majestea (bubble tea). So it's a plus to come and enjoy the bubble tea and chill with friends. The place is big and alot of padding. Therefore it's not very noisy.
The aircond is cooling, some area might be colder so bring a jacket just incase your cold resistance is low.
Finally the price is reasonable, they do serve food here. So can consider to have your meals here as well.
There's also meeting room and storage area. They do have toilet and also a very convinient shower.
Overall I enjoyed the experience, the comfortable furniture, great drinks and savory food. As a co-working space, this is definitely a place I'll enjoy visiting and to work from.

Welcomed by friendly staffs and lovely gifts.
# Not-so-friendly staffs at the desks
It took me at least 15 minutes for checking-in. A staff left me unattended after I paid my bill, without telling me what was going on. It would be great if the staff told me what had gone wrong and what he was going to do which required me to wait for longer time. (Other lines were checking-in quick)
When we checked-out, no clear instruction was given when we asked the desk (at car park entrance).
# Breakfast buffet experience
I would recommend you to eat your breakfast early, before 9am if possible. To avoid queuing and enjoy indoor seating. Various choices of food, there are few booths outdoors. By the way, their pastries tasted delicious! Love it!
The overall experience is great.
If you love to take pictures, you can walk around the resorts and explore beautiful scenery.

Very warm, welcoming and helpful front desk staff. Place is clean. Beds comfortable. Showers and toilets very clean. Only drawback is, towels are not free... you pay RM 3 for a towel. Nevertheless it was a good experience. Would definitely go back to them, and recommend to others as well.

Quiet place in KK town to relax and read books. However it seems like the air conditioners are not cold enough that the staffs had to set up pedestal fans.

It's a plaza whereby it's combined with lots of eatery shop, a stationary shop, some government related offices and also private company offices. Some of the stores are selling imported stuffs from Korea and China as well. As of current condition, there is still some shop closed. Some may even be closed permanently. However at normal times, this is a great place to get something to eat. You may find local, chinese and even west cuisine here.

Very pleasant experience all round! Despite our late arrival we were greeted by the owner. The house has 4 bedrooms (all with AC) and two bathrooms. The kitchen has pots and pans and a gas stove. The village surrounding is very charming and the place is really close to everything you might need. I would go back there again!

A comfortable space with proper setting for temporary office. Definitely will drop by again! Got a complimentary black coffee for my hot seat package with Workify.

Great environment. Sometimes I try to do my work from the coffee shop but then too many distractions including the loud music from the coffee shop itself where I always ended up enjoying the music more than doing my work. This place, they separated their co-working space with the café so I can concentrate more on my work. If I need refreshment, I will just go to the café, very convenience. Surely I will come back and try their private office if I need to work with a group of people. One last thing, their internet speed? I'm so satisfied with it.

Rooms are good. There is hot water and fridge inside. WiFi cannot be reached in the rooms. At least the room I was in. Swimming pool is also under maintenance and doesn't look like it'll be fixed any time soon. So do caution if you are looking to swim, this is still under repair as at time of writing. T
I do my best to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. I last updated it in September 2024. If you know of a coworking space that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
