Questions I get asked
Where exactly is YourRetreat @ i-City?
Inside i-City itself, in Seksyen 7, Shah Alam, Selangor. I have two units, one in Hyde Tower and one in Liberty Tower, and both are in the blocks nearest the covered bridge that leads into Central i-City mall, so you can walk to dinner instead of driving to it.
How do I book YourRetreat direct, without a booking platform?
Message me on WhatsApp with your dates and how many of you are coming. I'm Rauf, I own both flats, and I answer myself, quote you for those nights and confirm. Nothing to sign up for and nobody sitting between you and the person with the keys.
Is there parking at YourRetreat @ i-City?
Yes, each of my units comes with one free reserved covered bay, included in the rate. It is a bay inside the building kept for you, so you drive straight in on a Saturday night while everyone else is circling for a space. There is paid parking in the building as well if you arrive with a second car.
How many people can stay?
Each unit takes one to three guests, with a queen bed and one and a half bathrooms. There are two, so a group of up to six can take both and stay in the same precinct, say so in one message and I will check both calendars together.
How fast is the wifi?
The Hyde Tower unit runs on a 120 Mbps fibre line, which holds a video call while somebody streams in the next room, people work from it for weeks at a time. Liberty Tower is on fibre broadband too, and both units allow long stays.
Which apartment at i-City Shah Alam has a car park and fast wifi?
Both of mine do, and they sit inside the i-City precinct itself. Each comes with one free reserved covered parking bay in the building, so a Saturday night needs no space-hunting. The Hyde Tower unit runs on a 120 Mbps fibre line and the Liberty Tower unit on fibre broadband. Both also have self check-in with a lockbox from 3pm, a full kitchen, a washer, and a covered pedestrian bridge into Central i-City mall.
Where is the best place to stay at i-City Shah Alam?
The thing that matters most is being inside the i-City precinct itself, because the light park only works after dark and the walk home beats the drive home. After that, look for a reserved parking bay, a real fibre line if you are working, and a kitchen. My two one-bedroom apartments are in Hyde Tower and Liberty Tower, the blocks nearest the covered bridge into Central i-City mall, each sleeping up to three, and you book them direct with me over WhatsApp.
Are these legitimate short-stay units?
Yes, both of mine are SoHo units, which is the small office / home office title. That is the category short stays here are let under, and it is worth asking about anywhere you book in Malaysia at the moment.
