Fareen NatraOur overall stay was great! The breakfast spread was impressive, with a wide variety of delicious food, and we really enjoyed the warm hospitality from all the staff.
I had requested a little complimentary surprise for my husband’s belated birthday and our upcoming wedding anniversary, and to our surprise, they prepared two cakes for us! Such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that made our stay even more special. We truly felt pampered throughout our stay. Thank you, DoubleTree Johor Bahru! ❤️

Ali_bra_braWe booked a stay at Fraser Place Puteri Harbour for 3 people to celebrate my wife’s birthday and opted to pay extra for a room with a ”Sea View.” We also reached out beforehand to ask for a small birthday surprise for her.
Unfortunately, the ”sea view” was a major letdown. Instead of an open, pleasant coastal view, it was mostly looking out over surrounding developments and construction with very little actual water in sight—definitely not what you hope for when booking a special occasion room.
On a positive note, I do want to give credit to the hotel staff for their service and effort. They did prepare a birthday cake for my wife as requested. While it wasn't set up in the room prior to our arrival as hoped—it showed up in our fridge on the second day after we returned from our day out—we still really appreciate that they remembered and made the gesture.

A&J ChuaFirstly, I came across Hotel Granada through a recommendation and decided to give it a try. So, I went ahead and made a booking. When I first arrived, my impression of the hotel wasn’t bad at all. During check-in, the staff asked if I would like an early check-in if I signed up as a hotel member. I thought, why not? After signing up, they immediately arranged a room for us, and that’s where our hotel journey began. Our first room was clean and neat. It also came with a Smart TV, which was a nice touch as my family and kids could enjoy Netflix together. Unfortunately, the nightmare started when I switched on the air-conditioning. There was a very loud motor grinding noise, which made it difficult to rest and resulted in a sleepless first night.
The next morning, I went down for breakfast. There was a good variety of food to choose from. If you wanted noodles, you had to cook them yourself 😂. The tea and coffee, however, were not really recommended in my opinion. The rest of the breakfast was still acceptable. After breakfast, I went to the front desk to report the air-conditioning issue and asked whether the unit was actually functioning properly. The staff were professional and quickly arranged for a maintenance staff member to check the room. The maintenance staff spent around 15 minutes troubleshooting and informed me that the motor needed to be replaced. The front desk then arranged for us to change rooms, so we were moved from Level 4 to Level 5. Unfortunately, the problems didn’t end there. After spending the whole day outside with my family, we returned to the hotel at night. The moment I went to take a shower — NO HOT WATER! 😅. I contacted the front desk and was informed that there was a pipe leak and that the water heater was not working. In the end, everyone had to shower with extremely cold water. Definitely not the kind of hotel experience we were hoping for.
Honestly, my biggest concern is why the first room was given to guests when the air-conditioning had such a serious noise issue. It makes me wonder whether the room was properly checked before it was assigned.
I appreciate that the front desk staff were polite and professional whenever I reported the issues, and they did try to assist by arranging a room change. However, having problems with both the air-conditioning and hot water, especially after changing rooms, really affected our overall stay.
I hope the management can improve their room inspection and maintenance procedures so future guests won’t have to go through the same experience.

jie93Great location for shopping, definitely a good choice. However, getting to the main entrance of the hotel is a bit inconvenient. The breakfast options were quite limited and not very satisfying. Otherwise, everything else was pretty good—the cleanliness and service were both fine.

MosquitoFeederThis is our 3rd stay at Dao. Quite a disappointing one as the first 2 were 10/10 fantastic!
Pros:
Pool is still beautiful with the views, size and landscaping.
Size of 2 bedroom is fantastic for 4 pax.
Water pressure is good.
Lots of towels.
Bed is comfortable.
Fridge is cold.
Ample parking.
Conveniently suited near restaurants and a supermarket.
Cons:
Found 4 live baby cockroaches in room over 2 nights. And a don’t know what silverfish worm crawly thing size of a 5 cent coin.
Beds have small bugs. All 3 rooms. We actually changed 3 rooms and the reception was very professional and helpful. This was already at 10+pm so we didn’t want to fuss too much. Then came the cockroaches in the last room! I would have changed room again but I felt bad.
Asked for 2 extra pillows and housekeeping took 3 hrs to send it up. But they very kindly apologised.
Breakfast is the worst this time! First morning: it was busy so the server ticked our room and asked us to sit at the sofas to wait for a table. After a table was available and cleared, she forgot about us and passed seats to another couple who came just at that time. Of course this isn’t right! I could have stood and waited but I listened and sat to wait, end up she gave our table away. Second morning: same lady! She ticked our room and waved her hand behind to tell us to go into another dining area. I asked where, she replied at the back. I asked again sorry, where at the back? She just said. Back. So we went out to explore and saw some families eating at another room. We entered, and this is like a second class room. Tables are dirty, utensils have to take yourself from a tray. Lighting is dim. I refused to sit there as I have kids who have to open 2 double glass doors with food and I’m afraid they might drop plates. We went back to the front to wait for seats. A 4 seaters table later became available, but the same lady (was understaffed I guess) only kept clearing 2 seaters and didn’t clear this. It was a manager I think, (black jacket from reception) who finally came to clear our table and set up with cutlery. Alas! Who knows.. no plates! No bowls! No cups! No food! Should have taken pic! Really! Breakfast area cannot handle this Sunday crowd. Nasi lemak, cereal, hash brown, coffee and some other sides all no more! Both mornings we came down about 9.15am. Breakfast ends at 10.30am.
One more thing. The lady kept gesturing that the seats on the second morning was at the back. I had to find my way there. After we were sat by the black jacket manger lady, we saw the first server personally escort another family of 3 to the same room at the back. Why? Because I’m different colour? Different gender? Our timing is like 5-10 min apart. No food to eat no plates so I was people watching and happened to see this. I don’t expect 6 star hotel service but you escort this family and to me you just gestured to go to the back myself? I also paid leh.
We really love this Dao. Im so sorry but this is just a brutally honest review. And the cockroaches and breakfast issues make my family wary of returning.

McainI had a really pleasant and comfortable stay at Ramada Hotel Johor Bahru, especially in the East Wing room. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with a cozy and relaxing atmosphere that made it easy to unwind after a long day. Everything was neatly arranged, and the bed was very comfortable, giving me a good night’s rest throughout my stay.
What I appreciated the most was the overall cleanliness and attention to detail in the room. The facilities were in good condition, and everything felt well taken care of. The hotel environment itself was calm and welcoming, which added to the whole experience.
The staff were also friendly, polite, and helpful whenever needed, making the stay even more enjoyable. Service was smooth from check-in to check-out, which I really value when staying at a hotel.
Overall, I would say Ramada Hotel Johor Bahru is a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay in Johor Bahru. The East Wing room in particular is definitely worth it. I would happily come back again and recommend it to others.

RickyzaimamaThis has to be the worst Four Points by Sheraton I've ever stayed at 😅. The decor is on par with a 200-300 RMB budget hotel in China; only the lobby and corridors look somewhat decent. The soundproofing is abysmal. You can feel the floor vibrating when kids run and jump upstairs... and the constant hum of the air conditioning unit kept me awake all night. The hygiene was terrible; there were crumbs on the floor, and I even found a balloon left by a previous guest when I lay on the bed... The trash can in the bathroom was also very dirty... My first task after checking in was to clean the room with sanitary wipes. The only redeeming quality is its proximity to a supermarket, which was convenient for buying things.

BeautysilverThe room was spotless and everything felt brand new, which made for a very comfortable stay. It was also spacious and bright. The hotel's location is super convenient, and the restaurant upstairs is definitely worth checking out – they have great food, drinks, and entertainment. Shopping is also a breeze with the mall right next door, offering plenty of dining and retail options. The surrounding area is lovely. I'll definitely choose to stay here again!

LapiguWorth the Price, Peaceful Stay with Good Amenities — A Few Areas for Improvement
Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Blue Horizon Suites, Forest City. It was definitely worth the price we paid to get an entire apartment, especially considering the space, comfort and amenities provided.
Environment and Sea View
The environment was quiet and peaceful, making it a great place to relax and unwind. Our unit had a partial sea view, as it was located next to the lift rather than facing the sea fully. Unfortunately, the haze affected visibility during our stay, but I believe the sea view would have been superb on a clear day. The balcony was a nice bonus and a great spot to enjoy the surroundings.
Cleanliness and Amenities
The apartment was clean and well-equipped. The towels provided were big and of good quality, which was a nice plus. Slippers, a hairdryer and toiletries were also provided, so we had pretty much everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
One thing I noticed was that Trip.com advertised a smart toilet, but the toilet in our unit appeared to be an ordinary one without any obvious smart features. Perhaps this varies by unit, but it would be good for the listing to clarify this so guests know what to expect.
Kitchen and Air-Conditioning
The kitchen design could be improved. Although there was an electric stove and a cooking hood, there was no conveniently located power socket for the stove. The only available socket was underneath the cabinet, but the stove’s power cord was not long enough to reach it. This seems like a design oversight that should be looked into.
The air-conditioning in the living room was another area for improvement. Even with the temperature set to 17°C, it did not feel particularly cold. Perhaps due to the open layout connecting the living room and kitchen, one air-conditioning unit may not be sufficient to cool the entire space effectively.
Breakfast
Breakfast was simple but acceptable. The tuna mayonnaise sandwich was nice, and the boiled egg was cooked just right without being overcooked.
However, the Vitagen was served at room temperature. As it is a probiotic cultured milk drink that should be stored according to its refrigeration instructions, it would have been better if it had been properly chilled before serving.
Staff and Service
On the positive side, the staff were friendly, helpful and responsive. Communication was easy through WhatsApp. Whenever we needed anything, we simply messaged the front desk and received prompt assistance.
The complimentary buggy service to Marina Hotel and back was also a convenient touch.
Overall Experience
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and felt that we received good value for money. Having an entire apartment at a reasonable price, together with the peaceful environment, cleanliness, spacious balcony, useful amenities and responsive staff, made the stay worthwhile.
There are a few areas that could be improved, particularly the kitchen layout, living room air-conditioning, breakfast beverage storage and clarification of the advertised smart toilet feature. Nevertheless, these did not overshadow the overall experience.
I would consider staying here again, especially for the value of having an entire apartment in a quiet and peaceful environment.
