5-Star Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

Hotel was in a nice location, quiet and peaceful. Amenities were well maintained, but I hope the swimming pool could glass panel could be better maintained. It looks “mouldy” and dirty. Also, the shower door inside the common toilet in the suite I was staying in on the 21st floor would not fully open. The location of the towel rails needs to be changed to avoid any major accidents like the door shattering

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it easy to relax after a long day. The hotel's location was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. I also appreciated the smooth check-in and check-out process, which made the entire experience hassle-free. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I look forward to staying here again in the future

The unit is spacious, clean and comfortable. The bed is bouncy and we slept well. The place also comes with useful amenities like a fridge, electric stove, oven, iron and hair dryer. However, there is no water dispenser or water filter provided. Basic utensils such as plates, spoons and bread knives are available, but there are no forks, bowls or other cooking tools, so you may need to bring your own or purchase separately if you plan to cook. The downside was the check-in experience. We were only given the access card without the bedroom key, and ended up stuck outside for almost an hour trying to figure out how to enter. The owner’s response was quite late, which made the situation frustrating. The TV in the room was also not functioning. On the positive side, the owner did allow a late check-out at 1pm. Overall, the stay was comfortable after settling in, but the initial access issue and late response affected the first impression.

The twin beds were larger than a standard single, big enough for two people, and the mattress was firm enough. There were both soft and firm pillows, so I slept really well. Since the hotel recently opened, all the room amenities were brand new. The bathroom was clean with no mold. I didn't have the breakfast buffet, but I did take a look, and there was a huge variety of options. Next time, I'll definitely book breakfast. I hope they can maintain this standard!

The hotel is impressively clean, tidy, and spacious, with excellent housekeeping service that ensures comfort throughout the stay. Guests can enjoy a wide variety of food choices, catering to different tastes and preferences. Its direct connection to the mall makes it extremely convenient for shopping and leisure. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the extensive gym facilities, equipped with a wide range of exercise equipment. Overall, a highly convenient and well-maintained property that balances comfort, dining, and lifestyle needs.

Beautiful resort set in a very chill and relaxing atmosphere. Staff provided good service and made us feel at home. Breakfast was decent and had a good variety.  The room was clean and cosy and the mini bar was great.  The only area for improvement is probably the room furniture which has some wear and tear and looks a little aged. The bathroom and toilet floors would impress better if given a chemical cleaning.

Our recent stay was unfortunately a disappointing experience, especially as it was meant to be a birthday celebration. The check-in process was poorly handled from the start. We arrived at 2:00 PM and were informed that our room was not ready, with a promise that we would be contacted once it became available. We then went for lunch at Kedidi Restaurant and returned to the lobby at around 3:30 PM, only to find a long queue at the check-in counter. To our surprise, guests who had arrived later than us were already being assigned rooms. We had to queue again, only to be told that our room was still not ready because it was being decorated for the birthday celebration we had requested. In the end, the delay of more than two hours resulted in a room setup consisting of just two balloons and a birthday message on the mirror, which was far below expectations and certainly not reflective of Westin standards. To make matters worse, when we asked about hotel facilities and available activities, the staff responded reluctantly and said they were only briefing guests upon request because the hotel was fully occupied. This was disappointing and did not feel in line with the level of hospitality one would expect. The room itself also showed signs of poor maintenance, with wallpaper peeling off in several areas. Dining experiences were equally underwhelming. At Prego, despite making a reservation one week in advance, we were initially seated at what was arguably the worst table in the restaurant—right above a generator, causing the table to vibrate throughout the meal. We only managed to change tables after waiting for another party to finish dinner. This was unacceptable, especially for a special occasion. The restaurant’s decor and overall condition also felt dated and basic, making the fine-dining pricing difficult to justify. Breakfast the next morning was another letdown. The air-conditioned breakfast area was far too small to accommodate the number of guests, seemingly fitting only 30–40% of the hotel’s occupancy. Temporary booths had been set up outside to manage the overflow, which made the overall breakfast experience feel chaotic and below standard. Overall, this was a very poor experience and certainly not the level of service, comfort, or quality expected from a Westin property.

Room is quite spacious but very old already. Tv channel is bad. Very old hotel. Should renovate and replace new items in the room

Great hotel for families! 💙 This was our first stay at Hard Rock Hotel Desaru, and it definitely won't be our last. It has become one of our top choices for a family getaway!
