Villa Samadhi Kuala Lumpur

Villa Samadhi is an oasis in the middle of KL. Our room was cool, spacious and stunningly beautiful. The vibe was chilled and relaxed. The pool and gardens were soothing and the Thai food was exceptional. What really makes Samadhi special are the staff. This starts with Adim at reservations who is kind and generous with her time and ensured our booking was just what we wanted. Aruni, the Villa manager, and her team were intuitive and attentive to every detail and worked tirelessly to ensure every expectation we had was exceeded. We can’t wait to return!

An amazing experience from start to finish, welcoming staff, spotless rooms, food and drink were fantastic. It was great to have a nice swimming pool and sun beds to relax by after a day’s sightseeing. The breakfast buffet was very tasty with lots of excellent choices and the staff serving were delightful.

Oh my! So glad I took the advice of my son and daughter to stay at the Samadhi when I told them I wanted a resort-type staycation in KL. The moment we drove in, we felt as if we'd arrived in Bali-type resort albeit with a huge Buddha statue in front, with its lovely wooden and stone accoutrements throughout. Amin, at reception, was such so friendly and welcoming throughout our stay, ably assisted by Ariff. The room and bathroom (couples shower with a jacuzzi) were spectacular with modern devices seamlessly integrated into the old world wooden vibe. My daughter had called and informed them it was my b'day so I had the swan towel, heart shaped rose petals and a slice of chocolate cake|When I informed them that we don't drink whisky but would prefer a sweet port wine, that was my night turndown service with the chocolates. Wow! Talk about service. |The afternoon tea was a so-so since the 3 kuehs were average, but the tea itself was really good. Our dinner was a tasty Thai 4 course meal with rice, 2 meats and a veg. The ala carte breakfast was also great with the right portions and enough variety to suit everyone.|Would definitely recommend the Villa Samadhi to any couples looking for a quick getaway. It ticks all the boxes on ambience, food and service.

Tucked away from the city's hustle, this beautiful beautiful place offers a serene ambience, perfect for unwinding and spending quality time with your loved ones. The atmosphere was intimate yet elegant, with soft lighting, lush greenery, and a quiet setting that makes you forget you're in the heart of the city. Whether you're enjoying a candlelit dinner, a spa retreat, or simply soaking in the tranquil surroundings, every moment feels special! The staff were attentive but unobtrusive, ensuring a seamless experience without disrupting the peaceful vibe. The food is exquisite, with a menu that caters to both indulgence and healthy options. This spot is ideal for a romantic retreat in the middle of KL.

We stayed at Villa Samadhi for ten nights and it was the most wonderful experience. We were looking for somewhere quiet and full of greenery as a total retreat from the city, and this place truly delivered.||The rooms are amazing. We booked the Luxe Crib room, and after a long flight from the UK, it was the more perfect place to just relax and unwind. Towards the end of our stay, we were approached by the hotel staff and asked if we wished to upgrade our room type (free of charge) to the Luxe Sarang. Obviously we accepted the extremely generous offer. Again, the room (I say room, it was more like a whole house) was amazing, and so was the direct access to the pool!||The breakfast is excellent, with the buffet serving until 11am, and if you miss that, all day breakfast can be ordered off the menu. The afternoon tea is nice - although, could I suggest that a couple more savoury options are provided? The evening food is top. Yes, I am from the UK so I had the classic burger. Twice. It was delicious.||I must mention last the staff, because they all made the stay really special, from the security guards to the concierge team, to the groundskeepers, the house keepers, the chefs and the bar team (we loved spending evening cocktails with BK, Joyce and Rafat, you guys are fab 🤗) - everybody was just fabulous, and thank you all for making our holiday in Kuala Lumpur so memorable!

Visited Villa Samadhi on 19 July to celebrate my husband's birthday. Received a warm welcome back by Amin, who attended to us during our recent visit in March. All of the arrangement was done perfectly for the birthday celebration. It was such a lovely stay and we will definitely pay a visit again.||p/s: we like room 15 better than room 18 :)

We spent two nights at Villa Samadhi as part of our wider Malaysia trip. We largely booked as we were en route to Tioman Island where we staying at the sister hotel (Japamala Resort) and for ease of arranging transportation to take us between the two hotels.  So pleased to have experienced the hospitality at Villa Samadhi - a really nice welcome by all of the staff and a gorgeously styled hotel and spacious room. Tucked away not far from KLCC (20 minutes walk away or a few minutes by taxi) we loved this serene oasis with a beautiful pool and complimentary extras (afternoon tea and cakes/snacks, cocktail hour, laundry, all day breakfast, turn down service with port and snacks). We ate in the restaurant for both evenings of our stay and the meals were very enjoyable and served by lovely staff. Would definitely recommend and would book again if we ever revisit KL

Fast check in, staff were friendly. There are ants around the bathroom and jacuzzi area. Room located on the 2nd level. There was no lift. Need to climb the stairs. Breakfast spread was good. Only residential place around, so not much to do around the area.

The Good: :: gorgeous setting. makes you feel you are not in the craziness that is Kuala Lumpur and instead are at a getaway in Bali :: service was very attentive and hospitable. they were all so friendly and responsive :: food was very delicious. i had breakfast, lunch, and dinner there for several days and wasn't disappointed :: cocktail hr that is complimentary is great! it's a subset of drink offerings but that's fine. it's a mixture of cocktails, spirits, and wines. you won't go wrong with any of them :: snacks left in your room. my favorite was the evening snack of banana bread balls that were fabulous :: the pool is gorgeous! it's not really for trying to get a tan since there is so much shade from all the trees, etc, but it is wonderful to sit by and read, or take a swim in :: the rooms are gorgeous. feels so authentic, all the warmth from all the wood and warm colors :: the bathroom is gorgeous. like...you are in a freaking amazing spa. there is a massive double-headed rain shower head as well as a massive hot tub with relaxing and soothing bath salts :: the pool is gorgeous. you cannot sit by the pool and not feel like a total baller. totally relaxing. :: they grow their own herbs! :: they have TURTLES!!!!!!!!! in an enclosed area by the herbs, they have turtles that are adorable. The Bad: :: no desk for those of us who need to work. however, because it's a place to really escape, i'm not going to fault them for not providing desks. it's not a Westin and that's expected! :: service by the poolside didn't really exist. i found i had to order at the bar to have drinks sent over, but not a huge deal since the bar is just a few seconds walk around the corner. :: the hot tub doesn't turn on when you want...they run it for everyone a few times a day. this was really odd to me, as i heard it kick on and was trying to turn it off, but when i called to speak to the front desk, they explained to me the way it works. seems like a possible waste of energy to turn it on several times a day if guests aren't using theirs? i did :) The Ugly: :: none Would I go back? Most certainly would! It's a completely relaxing getaway that is a welcome change from the generic offerings of big-brand hotels. This place is IN.

Some days you just want to get away from it all. And rather than spend on flights to travel to some exotic location, KL-lites can now check in at Villa Samadhi, a resort hotel in the heart of KL. Most people drive past it without even noticing it is there as this very private boutique hotel keeps its gates closed most of the time. Once inside, you will love the tranquility and the service, not forgetting the interesting rooms they have. This was formerly a small block of apartments which were converted into Villa Samadhi. Each room is different so you may want to check what you are booking. The most popular are the ground floor rooms that open onto the pool, so you can sit on your patio facing the pool, and just slip into the pool when you feel like having a dip. My room came with a jacuzzi, rain shower and a fish tank, with 4 resident fishes to keep me company! It's the little touches that add to the experience, like the little tray of local kuih (traditional cakes) that they bring to your room after you have checked in, and the complimentary cocktail hour at the rooftop bar between 5 to 6 pm where you can watch the sunset and it is hard to imagine that you are 5 minutes from the Petronas Twin Towers. Dinner is served in the dining room as well as by the poolside, which is a wonderfully romantic setting. Overall, this is a great place to take a break without having to travel too far and I am already looking for my next excuse to take a break.

We booked a few days at Villa Samadhi. When arrived it seemed great but it was not what we had in mind. We decided to ask if we could get a refund and stay somewhere else. We were promised by the concierge that we would get a refund. However, after we had booked and moved to the other hotel they refused to give us the refund. If they had just said they could not give us a refund this situation would have been avoided.
