Great
MMohamad Amir AminI recently stayed at DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru for a business trip, and it was a very pleasant experience overall. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, making it a great place to unwind after a long day of meetings. The bed was especially comfortable, and the room amenities were well maintained.
The hotel’s location is also very convenient, with easy access to key business areas, shopping malls, and nearby eateries in Johor Bahru. It made traveling around the city hassle-free during my stay.
What stood out the most was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. From check-in to check-out, everyone was welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. Their hospitality truly made the stay more enjoyable.
Overall, I would highly recommend DoubleTree Johor Bahru for both business and leisure travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent service.

LlilsheepWe enjoy staying at St Giles Southkey because its linked to the Midvalley mall.
The rooms are large but showing its age. Hope management can refurbish the air-conditioning (when occupancy goes up, and it's frequently fully-booked by Singaporeans, the temperature also goes up as I think the equipment cannot keep up)
Breakfast is well-managed by the staff.
Security is good as parking is within the Midvalley mall itself.

PpeppermintyTastefully designed
Most essential items are available
Bed and pillow is comfortable
The only downside is somehow this unit uses some power saving device, the whole house will blackout (not sure what will trigger it.. if its too many lights or aircon switched on or nobody at home?) But it was a hassle because we had to keep walking to the living room to activate the power again. Other than that everything else is fine. Will stay here again despite the power issue because the beds and pillows are really comfortable.

GGuest UserNot Worth the Price Tag
— Our First Negative Review Across Travel Platforms
Nest Home is a big operator, this unit is THE most expensive unit in the condo operated by Nest Home. We paid more than RM2,000 for 2 nights for 2 adults + 2 children. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing and, in fact, unhealthy. I am taking the time to write this review to caution future guests who may assume that choosing the most expensive unit means choosing the safest or best option. In our case, that assumption proved wrong.
Good points:
- The location is great, especially for guests who drive. There are plenty of parking spaces, and the condominium has six lifts, which are generally fast and convenient.
- Nest Home’s service response during operating hours, up to midnight, was professional and generally prompt. The check-in process was also convenient and smooth.
- Their guidance and house rules were clear and detailed, and the cafés recommended by them were actually great.
- The listing photos are generally accurate. What you see in the photos is what you get. There is a working mini cinema (although not one-touch and need to try luck for turning on the TV box), and the private cinema feel is there, especially if you already have your own subscribed content and can tolerate the strong formaldehyde smell.
- The castle and slide were fun, and the children enjoyed them, which was a big relief for us. However, I personally have doubts as to whether the playground area is thoroughly cleaned.
- The bedding looked fresh and had a hotel-like feel.
Bad points — which made our 2-night stay a nightmare:
- As shown in the screenshots/photos, the issues were serious and largely self-explanatory.
- The unit may have been recently upgraded or renovated. As a result, the wooden stage/base in the cinema area had a very strong formaldehyde chemical smell. It caused my children and me to cough and tear up. Even after the stay, I am still coughing occasionally.
- There are 2 bedrooms. The unit is supposedly suitable for 4 adults + 2 children, but the bunk bed had a strong formaldehyde smell kept coming out from the bunk bed, and concentrating in the guest bedroom. So 1 out 2 bedrooms was not liveable for our family.
- As shown in the photo, after paying more than RM2,000, 4 of us had to squeeze into 1 bed because the unbearable condition of the guest bedroom. And even this only bedroom we could sleep in had a strong formaldehyde smell coming from the wardrobe, so we tried our best not to use it.
- After we raised the issue to Nest Home, their response was prompt and their action was quick. However, the solution provided, such as fogging, did not effectively address the root cause. I am also not sure whether fogging is even an appropriate solution for a formaldehyde-like smell, or whether it is more suitable for insects. In any event, there was no effective solution during our stay.
- The booking page photos are exactly what you get and please have a second look into the details, which we didn't (yes, you don't even have soap or handwash at basin, Yes, you don't have handtower (there are bath towers), despite the price, forget about comparing amenities to a basic 3-star hotel. You will have to compromise here and there. These small details make a real difference to the overall stay.
- Looking back at past reviews, the cleanliness level is acceptable, but guests should not expect too much. For example, some plastic parts of the bathroom glass doors were yellowish and did not look very clean.
Other than basic sorry words, we DO NOT feel real apologies or sincerity from Nest Home. They keep saying High price because of holiday, and no other guests have these feedback. I suggest they stay in the unit themselves and face the reality. We will stay away from all Nest Home managed properties.
For families with young children, or guests who are sensitive to formaldehyde smells, I would strongly suggest reconsidering before booking this unit.

Pros:
Staff are very polite and welcoming.
Breakfast good spread.
Comfy bed.
Spacious room and toilet.

GGuest UserStayed at Space Residency a few times already but this unit #30-08 has the best layout, facing and furnishing by far.
Activating the lifts requires finesse. The sensor is located at the top right corner of the sensor panel.
Being a new development we encountered renovation noise during our stay but that was within expectations.
We will definitely book this unit again when we visit JB

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.

HHappySoulThe outlook of the hotel looks great but the inside the room not so favorable.
There was blood stain on bedsheet, and aircon one moment warm, one moment super cold … not sure what to think of it 🥲
The bed, not so comfortable to sleep on and very low level, for elderly not really good for them
Room size is small and a little squeeze for 2 persons. The bathroom lights are too dim
Breakfast wise, not so fantastic. Would recommend eat out since near by have many eatery options

BBoobarnikFor a group of 5, (four adults 1 child) on the way to Singapore, this place is a perfect place for us to stop before closing the border, it's about 4.5 km. from JB central.
The unit is clean and decorate nicely, and our room has view to a city and express way, which at night can enjoy watching the light of vehicles on the way. The draw back to that is the noise when we want to sleep, this does not has any effect on us.
Also the living rooms is perfect for relaxing or for discussing plan for the next days or enjoying board or card game with your group.
The parking and our room is in different tower but this is not an issue as tower A and B is very close.
There is a street food near by which open late at night, so very convenient for us as we arrived in the evening.
The self check-in process is really smooth, you can communicate in advance with the host via whatsapp.
Unfortunately, on the day we arrived, the pool is closed, so we didn't try that.
Next time I visit Johor, I would definitely consider this place.

BBhody_MiloMixed experience overall. For a hotel branded as 4-star, I expected a bit more, both in terms of service and the overall feel of the place, it could really use a refresh.
I emailed ahead to request an early check-in and didn't get a reply. When I arrived and asked if I could just drop my luggage and freshen up quickly before a meeting, I was told it would cost RM150 — nearly half a day's rate. I think a little more flexibility here would go a long way, especially for guests who just need 30 minutes to get ready.
I also encountered a broken digital door lock on the room, which was frustrating and a real security concern and definitely not something you'd expect at this level.
Breakfast was okay but nothing memorable. The coffee is brewed in one large pot and tastes watered down; no freshly brewed bean coffee, which is disappointing at this price point. The yogurt is also served from one big open bowl for everyone, which felt unhygienic given it's a probiotic product sitting exposed to air.
The basics are there, but the details need attention. Hoping management takes this as constructive feedback.
