We are shocked because this kondo is not well mentain . First impression is very bad because at the lobby is no front office or customer service. We're quite happy about the space , the rooms and their facilities such as tv , ice box , aircondioner and sofa . The location is good because near the jetty , kuah town , shopping centre and food centre but we need the special customer service to help us.

The place wasn't fabulous, but the apartment was clean it had 3 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms and they had a kitchen. The place looked like its abandoned.. We booked a whole apartment. It was a pleasant stay. The beach is far since its in the middle of Kuah town. Near to the jetty..

Stayed here 4d3n in their 3 rooms apartment. Service was bad, I need to call a few times asking for something before they arrived. Unit was ok, quite spacious but can be smelly at certain area. Beautiful view from balcony overlooking the sea, though it was quite far. There's no cafe here, you need to go outside for food. Small pool, not much facilities, limited parking space, overall a poor place. Plus point - its within walking distance to the Kuah town. Suitable for shopaholic only!

My friend booked this apartment via this email <kondoistana@hotmail.com> and paid RM200 in advanced for a 2rooms apartment..when we reached there, the staff there said got no record on our booking. We explained that we had paid deposit and the staffs argued that they didn't received our payment. Luckily we got printed out the email confirmation with the person-in-charge name on it. The staff said they don't have any official website for make online booking, but we argued and we asked them to call out their manager. The staff is reluctant and keep on said, they don't know who have received our payment. Finally, they asked their manager out, and the manager said, the receiver of our payment is an agent. The manager called the agent, and let us have a conversation with him. The agent said, oh sorry, he had forgotten to help us to book, and he asked for another extra RM100 for the booking. We are so frustrated and asked, it is their fault, and now they still dare to ask for extra $$? We argued and at last, they gave us an apartment, with 3rooms. Since we at first booked for 2rooms, so they locked on of the room. When we reached our apartment ad placed our luggage, one of our room suddenly is closed and locked up..we gotta called the staff again, and they have to change the whole door lock.. That's still ok. When at night, the masterbed room's aircond is not working..We gotta move the bed and sleep at the living room.. That's our experience with this KONDO ISTANA Beware!! Before we decided to book this apartment, i personally has found two contradict comments pages about this kondo..one is saying very good, another is saying bad...both has similar name for this "kondo istana" thingy, unfortunately now i couldn't find the one saying "good" about this kondo... So, it depends on your luck whether you able to get better room than me~ Cheers~

Just back recently from a 6 nites trip to Langkawi so I think I shared my experiences here. Stay all nites here. My initial impression of this condominium is a very run down place and obviously it has not been maintained for a long time by looking at its exterior. The reception area is one of the worse I seen so far and the furniture is something the management really have to change fast. Surprisingly the inside is good. We booked 2 apartments. The apartment is just like a 100 sqm 4 room HDB flat in S'pore(3 rooms and 2 bathrooms) with workable air-conditioning and heater. It has a small swimming pool and a gym but the gym is closed at all times. The coffee house on the first floor is also closed down. It only has 2 lifts to serve all the pp so it does get crowded at certain times The location is at Kuah Town and it is easily accessible to shopping centres and food stalls. So this condo is actually for big groups of pp and value for money. It really helps that u rent a car to travel around Langkawi.

I booked an apartment at Kondo Istana for a holiday earlier this month. When we arrived, we found the premises in a terrible state. 1. THERE IS A PERMANENT INJUNCTION OBTAINED IN THE ALOR SETAR HIGH COURT BARRING THE OPERATION OF SERVICED APARTMENTS FROM THE CONDOMINIUM. 2. The lobby, lift and common areas are dirty and poorly maintained. The lift furnishings were torn and scratched. 3. The flat smelled like it was fumigated not long before we arrived. 4. The cushion covers in the living room had terrible stains on them. 5. There was hair on the sink and a dirty sponge in an old bowl. 6. Only plates, bowls and cups and kettle were available, no cooking utensils. 7. The sheets were old and worn, looked like they hadn't been used for a long time. 8. The air conditioning units weren't working and in the bedroom, the air conditioning control was missing. 9. In the bathroom, there was a crack in the bathtub, the toilet bowl was dirty and dirt on the bathroom floor. 10. The staff were not bothered about us. We had to look for them when we arrived. They weren't bothered and showed us an alternative flat in an equally bad state. The injunction meant people could not use the units without the risk of being in contempt of court themselves. We left immediately. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!

This apartment is only suitable for family size travellers. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a small kitchen and living room. The lobby of the apartment is not fantasy which look dirty with old furniture. The view from the apartment is also not fantasy. However, the room is basically acceptable with basic furniture. The location is very convenient for those who would like to go shopping in duty free shop or eating in nearby restaurant. There are gym centre, a small swimming pool and restaurant in the apartment but nobdy is using the facilties. So, as a conclusion, good location and reasonable price for family or friends but would not recommend it to couples or solo.
