In case anyone is checking out this thread for opinions as they are looking for a place to stay, I would like to give my 2 cents (/penny) since I actually have been here for nearly a year now.
First, I have to say that I stay in a studio, and my experience would be different from the guy commenting above me, so if you are thinking about staying with flatmates, his situation might be more accurate than mine.
So... Overall, my experience is alright. Not much problem really happen aside from having one party girl in the floor (but her room is fortunately far away from mine, so it isn't a big deal.) Since studios are grouped together, and I think that most studio tenants are postgrads, so the studio floors are generally quieter.
To give more details, here is a quick Pros & Cons.
Pro:
-Everything overall is kinda alright. No problem with water, heat, TV or internet connection since I have been here.
-If stuffs break down, the people do come in to fix them. My microwave died, and had been replaced quite quickly. My toilet got blocked a couple of times and they fixed it in reasonable timing.
-A couple of staffs are nice. My neighbour room likes to leave his windows opened while he isn't there (which results in VERY noisy wind sound since we live in high floor), and the night guards are always more than happy to help coming up and shut all the windows for me.
-The higher floors are quiet, which is nice.
-Great location to get to the city centre and train station.
-On discussions with my mates who live in the near-by Sky plaza, they feel that Clv is a bit safer. (My mates sometimes visit me at night, and the Clv night guards would force them to wait downstairs for me to pick them up. In comparison, whenever I visit my mates in Sky plaza at night, I never see any guard, and I always just walk up to their rooms with no problem and no key whatsoever.)
-The studios are pretty big, and they come with TV. (Some other places like Sky Plaza don't give you TV in studios unless you book a premium and very pricey one.)
Con:
-Some of the staffs are quite jerks. They would still do their jobs, but I sometimes have to have unnecessary arguments with them (ie, one time a staff forgot to process my package arrivals, so he wouldn't let me pick up my package even if it was literally sitting there in front of me. He ended up allowing me to take it after some arguments, which was annoying.)
-The internet system forces you to register your devices (max three), so if I have my mates around, they can't use the wifi, which is inconvenient for group meetings.
-The room could have been in a better condition when I moved in. The tenant before me didn't look after the room that well, and I wished CLV had fixed up stuffs that girl broke (ie the blocked toilet) before I have moved it.
-The gym is small, and a couple of the machines are broken. This sometimes causes queue during the peak time.
-When CLV says that they are doing something (ie renovating the laundry room), they don't always stick to the schedule. For example, the renovation of the laundry room should have been a relatively fast and hassle-free experience, but it ended up taking almost two weeks, forcing me to take my laundry to my mate's place.
