Seeds Hotel Shah Alam Seksyen 7 I-City — Hotel in Shah Alam

Stayed in May 2017. Art Queen Room (No Window) RM158.

The Bad: Dirty bathroom floor and ceiling. Moldy, peeling paint and dirty room wallpaper. There was water coming out through the room wall and therefore I had to place a towel on the floor, next to the bed. Broken side table. Dust under the console table. Rustic electric kettle. Stain inside the mug. The breakfast, fried noodles (mee goreng), had an unpleasant bitter "kapur" taste. The bitter "kapur" taste is commonly the result of not rinsing the noodles properly and thoroughly before cooking. I decided to stay at the hotel after browsing through amazing room photos, specifically photos of Art Queen Room (No Window), at Hotel De Art Section 7 website and official Facebook. Misleading photos indeed. It was my first time staying there and definitely my last. Disappointed.

The Good: Well-decorated lobby. A polite Malay male receptionist during check-in.

Photos: I have attached 25 photos as proof here, however currently only 7 photos are visible to the public, not sure why though.

UPDATED in July 2017: As of today, most of the photos I uploaded here are still not visible to the public. Therefore, I have submitted a review and uploaded all 25 photos at Trip Advisor Malaysia website. Unfortunately only 6 photos appear, but they are not the same photos as the one I uploaded here, so feel free to have a look. Just google "Trip Advisor Hotel De Art Shah Alam". The photos are best viewed in desktop mode and kindly click the "Traveller"...

The boy at reception think im stupid maybe, he said all of hotel procuder like this, he think this is my first time I stay in hotel?
