5-Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely impeccable stay! This place is super brand new, spotless, and unbelievably classy from the moment you walk in.
Huge space with a big balcony overlooking the awesome sea view! It made us all smile waking up to it! The home is simple yet beautiful and immaculately clean down to every detail.
The toilet? Super classy and hotel-level luxe. In fact, one of our kids said, It’s like a classy hotel in a homestay!” and they were 100% right!
If you want space, style, and that five-star feel without the hotel price tag, BOOK THIS NOW! My family and I can’t wait to return and will definitely book this again, and check out all their 3- 4 bedrooms units!
Definitely a gem! Don’t miss it!
Good for location but not exactly cheap. Paid about 120 sgd for a weekday night, carpark is per entry 5rm nett, if getting in and out multiple times may add up to alot for parking.
Breakfast inclusive in booking was average, not fantastic. But overall clean.
Room had some birthday deco (we did not request) and birthday card was name to another person which was weird.
Body soap was also placed outside at basin area which was abit weird and inconvenient.
View was good, managed to see fireworks too on a random weekday night.

Had a very pleasant one-night stay here with friends! The unit was very clean, well-maintained, and looked exactly like the photos. The bedroom and living area were comfortable and nicely arranged, with a great night city view from the window.
The facilities were excellent too, especially the swimming pool, which had a really nice atmosphere and was perfect for relaxing. Check-in was smooth and the location was convenient for getting around Johor Bahru.

Enjoy this for a short stay with family and young toddlers.
Stated check in at 3pm but when we checked in, room already available, probably it was a Friday. Staff are friendly & polite, with good service. We booked without breakfast because keen to try the foods around but I believe the breakfast also worth it if book together just around RM60 more for 3 pax.
Gym is big with almost everything in it! They have pool for adults to play, but no entry below 16 year old.
The only minus points is the Dino Waterpark within the hotel requires additional payment at RM20 per pax for those above 3 year old. It is not expensive but we thought everything were inclusive.
Location wise really convenient as you can get almost everything downstairs - even the groceries in Lotus supermarket!

First time bringing my family to this apartment. They love it! The check in was seamless and efficient with Samuel being the main operator. He is friendly and proactive and constantly checked on us, providing vital information via WhatsApp. Queries and issues were resolved efficiently and quickly. The location is bubbling with many local delights and is close to our favourite cafes, which we frequent every time we are there. After a whole day of shopping, it's really nice to go back to a clean place for rest, the 12th floor swimming pool and gym are new. Children can easily immerse themselves in the pool and playground. Surely a place where I can bring my family to stay again. Kudos to Samuel and team! Keep up the good work.

This tine, we booked 3D2N staycation at Holiday Villa. This was my amazing staycation at Holiday Villa. Connecting room in high floor and facing the same direction as the main road to the hotel lobby. We got to watch fireworks released by Malaysian residents celebrating Hari Raya on the eve. Nice fireworks from good view. Breakfast was good too. Rooms were kept clean . The only 2 improvements are firstly, the queen size bed with bath tub, taking a shower is challenging as the water leak from the side of the bath tub to the floor causing the toilet floor to be wet. I have to clean the floor after my shower. The second improvement is Friday soya bean drink was served hot , unfortunately today (Saturday) the soya bean drink is served cold.
Counter staff can be more presentable and professional to serve customers in line than doing own things.
First time staying at this hotel, and even though it was just for one night, I really enjoyed it. The room was a bit small but clean, the pillows were comfy, and the air-cond was adjustable. We had a small issue with the TV, but the front desk sorted it out super fast — kudos! All the staff, from the security guard to the front desk and even those we met in the lift, were friendly and made us feel very welcome. And the best part is that the breakfast was really delicious with lots of choices.

I recently stayed at Z Hotel Johor and had a pleasant overall experience. The hotel is very centrally located in Johor Bahru, making it convenient to access shopping malls, restaurants, and key attractions within walking distance.
The room was clean, modern, and well-maintained. I especially appreciated the comfortable bed and the nice city view from the room. The amenities provided were sufficient for a short stay, and everything was in good working condition.
Service was generally good—staff were polite, helpful, and responsive when needed. Check-in and check-out processes were smooth and efficient.
On the downside, parking can be a bit limited, and the lobby area is relatively small, which may feel crowded during peak hours.
Overall, Z Hotel Johor is a solid choice for travelers looking for a comfortable, affordable, and conveniently located stay in Johor Bahru. I would consider staying here again on my next visit.
The room is very nice. We like that we can cast from our phone.
The check in was delayed by 2 hours. The staff was very helpful. He gave us all complimentary breakfast. But the breakfast was bad. Too much processed food - chicken nuggets, ham ,etc. too much sugar - donuts, soya milk was too sweet, fruit drinks were too sweet, except for the fresh orange, cucumber and pineapple juice. Those were great. It's definitely not worth the price for our family. St Giles, Opero, Holiday Inn Express at Komptar, Hilton all have better and healthier breakfast.
The swimming pool has too many sharp corners near the children area.
Pros
Price: I feel this is a good buy, considering this being a 3 bedroom apartment.
Location: Superb - right above Paradigm Mall. This is my most important factor as I have children on my trips.
Check in/out: Very convenient - it's a self check in/out using a locker system and it's super smooth.
Security: One of the tightest securities I've been at in Msia - entry to lobby door, entry to shopping mall door, and even the swimming pool level needs to tap key card.
Amenities: Nice clean swimming pool. There's also a steam room, badminton court, games room, playground, function room in the apartment.
View: Pretty view of houses - and we witnessed a lot of fireworks 😍
Cons
Hiccups during check in: (These hiccups below are purely based on MY experience here. You may not experience the same as I did)
We were issued the wrong key so we had to go back down to check out and check in to the right apartment. Aft checking in, we found our master bedroom's aircon and toilet lights, as well as TV couldn't be switched on. Had to wait for maintenance guys to check and fix them. Wasted about 2 hours of our time in total.
Compensation: Felt like management should have offered a change of room for our convenience. But they didnt - so I requested for it because the maintenance was taking too long. We were also not offered any form of compensation - which I feel, again, should have been from mgt side - so I initiated a request for our late check out waiver.
Customer service kindly agreed to both requests.
House rules & housekeeping: Too many house rules. And housekeeping is not ideal - change of towels and bedsheets are per every 3 days. We have to dispose of our own rubbish during the stay (in the common rubbish room), and we also have to pack and tie all our rubbish bags from the bins before checking out (which i feel is unnecessary cos housekeeping is alr gonna come to clean...?)
But I'm sure my cons are just my opinion. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

KKoh Luke ThengI had a wonderful stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and very professional. The check-in process was smooth, and the famous warm DoubleTree cookie made the arrival even more pleasant.
The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with a beautiful view of the city. I especially appreciated the comfortable bed and the well-maintained facilities. The housekeeping team did a great job keeping everything spotless.
The hotel location is also very convenient, with easy access to nearby shopping malls, restaurants, and the CIQ checkpoint. The breakfast buffet had a good variety of options and the food quality was excellent.
Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru to anyone visiting Johor Bahru and look forward to staying here again in the future

Very Good
YYL_SnoopyIf you like a quiet, cosy place that give you a resort feel, then this hotel will be a good choice.
Initially booked this hotel is because wanting to try the Gem Spa, as previously I tried their other outlet which was very good. But sadly due to time constraints, we didn't manage to go the spa.
What I like about this hotel is, there is a hard rock within the hotel. So if you do not want to travel 15mins out, then you can actually chill and eat there.
The room is cosy but sadly that even I had booked the sea view, the view was not directly. I was allocated a room that faced the road and far right is the sea. But the plus point is I have a bathtub.
Overall the service is good, breakfast is average and the occupancy of the hotel is high but you do not feel crowded.
AAnonymous UserGood for location but not exactly cheap. Paid about 120 sgd for a weekday night, carpark is per entry 5rm nett, if getting in and out multiple times may add up to alot for parking.

CCandace KThe gym, though small, was well-equipped with towels and bottled water. The kids' play area clearly hadn't been tidied up after use, and no one seemed to be cleaning it. It was also incredibly hot in there, with no AC remote in sight. As for the breakfast buffet, it had everything you'd expect, but the only downside was the lack of staff to seat or guide guests. On our first morning, we had to stand next to other tables and wait for a spot to open up 😅. Our room had a QR code for requests, and when we used it, staff were very quick to help with any issues. The only minor flaw was some dust in the room; I actually felt a bit itchy the first night. We were in the East Wing, which honestly felt more like a serviced apartment than a hotel, yet they didn't even provide dish soap 😅😅.
TTzieqyI stayed together with my husband and child. The self check in was smooth. They provided very clear instructions for the check in. The room was clean and the pool view from the room was great. I love that the balcony is quite spacious. Their service is also good. Very prompt response from them.
The feedback I have is if possible, to get a parking lot that is nearer to the lobby entrance at level 5. And for the common room, maybe can rearrange the drawer cabinet away from the power socket because the current position, the cabinet is covering the socket thus we're unable to charge while in the room.
But these are minor issues. The most important thing is that I had a comfortable stay and it really is a great accommodation.
CChloe@@The hotel is easy to find, u can easily spot it on the way to desaru. We stayed at the hotel for 1 night, didn’t include the breakfast. Overall it is a good stay, the hotel room is up to standard. Clean, bright and smell good as well. The parking charge is rm 7.60/ stay, unlimited in and out from the hotel. The hotel provides free shuttle bus service as well, it is convenient for those who don’t have own transport.
I would highly recomend this hotel for those who want to visit desaru!
TTentenAmaiodinThe 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.
NNeil NicholasMe and my wife had a lovely couple get away and we have to say that we were met by awesome staffs! From the time we got off the car the front concierge / security gave us warm welcome.
The front desk by the name of Mr Nicholas Raj served us professionally and also showered us with warm smiles and attitude.
The room was spacious and soundproof enough plus all the amenities for the room was sufficient. TV and all the channels to entertain us though maybe a Netflix would be amazing hahaha.
There was even shuttle service but do take note you need to register with the ground floor and only at certain timings.
Only downside is that the SKS mall is still not open but if you need to eat there are in house restaurant and room service as well. Though we opted to venture outside and there were 24hrs food available as well.
Swimming pool is of a decent size with towels available, the gym is also enough to pump you up with you need it.
Breakfast buffet at the Daily Social is with just enough spread / variety with staffs very attentive to their surroundings too.
Overall I would come to stay again . Thank you Sheraton

GGuest UserOur kids love it! Great Stay & Super Convenient
We had a short but fantastic stay. Having indoor slides right in the room was a brilliant touch and made the trip memorable.
The best part was how accessible everything was; the facilities were easy to find and use, which made our quick visit totally stress-free.
AahshanStayed at Sand & Sandals Resort in Desaru and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The resort has a spacious, tropical vibe with big rooms, comfy beds, and a nice balcony to unwind. The pool area is great for chilling, and the beach is just a short walk away — perfect for morning strolls and golden hour photos.
Service was friendly, and the location made it easy to get around for food, activities, and day trips. It’s a solid choice if you want a fuss-free, beachside stay that feels calm and refreshing.
Overall, a pleasant resort for couples, families, or a girls’ trip getaway. 🌊💛
