Stayed here as a family and had a great time overall. location is unbeatable literally connected to KSL Mall so food, shopping and the Monday night market (recommended experience) are all right downstairs, super convenient with kids. service was excellent, staff friendly and helpful throughout. amenities were great too, the pool was a hit with the children. only small thing was cleanliness, room was good but could be a touch more spotless in places. that aside, brilliant value and id happily stay again. highly recommend for families 👍

Location is conveniently near to tuas, minutes to Legoland. Quiet, comfortable, and deliberately tucked away from the crowded city center. If the goal is to get away and truly relax in a spacious environment with beautiful waterfront backdrops, this suite delivers perfectly. Highly recommended for a proper reset.

The location is considered good as it is within 10min walking distance from KsL shopping mall. The view from the room is also nice. The room is quite big with a comfortable bed and large tv with many channels. However the toilet bowl is not very good as gets clogged easily. Overall a comfortable stay.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at KSL Hot Spring Resort! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable. Our room was spacious, spotless and well-maintained. The air-conditioning worked perfectly, keeping the room cool and refreshing even on hot days. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the pillows and linens were soft and clean, ensuring a restful night’s sleep.
The staff at KSL Hot Spring Resort were friendly, attentive and always willing to help with any request, which made our stay completely hassle-free. The carpark was convenient and easy to access, making arrival and departure stress-free. Add on, the swimming pool is shared with other residents and the water was cold.
Overall, our experience at KSL Hot Spring Resort was pleasant and comfortable but we would note that this hotel may not be suitable for guests with very high expectations. It’s perfect for those looking for a simple, relaxing getaway without expecting luxury. The combination of clean and comfortable rooms, relaxing hot springs, convenient carpark and warm hospitality made our stay memorable. We would recommend it for anyone looking for a casual and enjoyable experience!

Having stayed at Holiday Villa numerous times, I keep returning for one simple reason: consistency. It has become my go-to choice for trips to Johor Bahru, and it continues to deliver a reliable experience.
Why I keep coming back:
Prime Location: Being located directly opposite KSL City Mall is incredibly convenient. You have immediate access to shopping, dining, and the cinema without the need to navigate heavy traffic or deal with long walks.
Hassle-Free Parking: This is a major selling point. Between the ease of self-parking and the convenience of the valet service (at a reasonable RM35), arrival and departure are always stress-free compared to the often chaotic access at the mall side.
Solid Breakfast: The breakfast variety is surprisingly good, with a nice spread that offers a solid start to the day.
A Note on Value:
I am fully aware that the room rates here are generally higher than at KSL Hotel. While it is a bit more of a premium, I find that the extra cost is absolutely justified by the seamless parking experience, the slightly quieter environment, and the overall maintenance of the property.
Verdict:
If you value efficiency, ease of access, and a hassle-free stay, the slight price premium is worth every penny. I will definitely be returning.

The Amari Hotel in Johor Bahru is located in a very strategic and convenient area.
Most major facilities and shopping complexes are within a 10‑minute walking distance, making it easy to access food, retail, and entertainment without needing transportation.
Cleanliness:
Overall, the hotel maintains good cleanliness standards. However, some moss can still be found on the windows, especially those facing the swimming pool. Despite this minor issue, the general cleanliness of the hotel is satisfactory.
Internet Connection:
The Wi‑Fi connection is not stable. It frequently disconnects, which can be inconvenient for guests who rely on a steady internet connection.
Parking:
Parking is not free. Guests are charged RM12 per day with multiple entry allowed. However, parking is complimentary if the booking is made directly with the hotel.

I would mostly stay at R&F Seine Region condo whenever I stay in JB for few nights. It is value for money for convenience as it is nearby CIQ (8-10mins walk) and equipped with amenities like a shopping mall, R&F mall and many other shops within the estate itself. There’s also many options on Grab delivery for that area. The facilities at level 8 such as gym, fitness area, playground and swimming pool are perfect for families to utilise during the stay.
This unit at B2-2 by Nest Home is nicely renovated, well furnished and has an amazing sea view of the straits from the balcony and bedroom. It is my first time at this unit. Having tried many other units at R&F, this unit by Nest Home is by far the best for its worth and value for money.
There’s bidet in the toilet, kitchen tools such as kitchen scissors and knives and warm and hot water dispenser for use.
Besides its owner’s hospitality, they have a friendly service. They checked in with me even before my trip and they were readily available on WhatsApp for contact.
The hotel's ambiance is quite nice, with a touch of Southeast Asian style, giving it a somewhat dated feel, but in a good way. The restaurant prices inside the hotel are reasonable, comparable to those outside. Getting a taxi to the airport was a bit of a hassle; it was really hard to find a car.

Location is good — very easy to grab around going KSL, mid valley. Room is Very spacious with large window of 2m. Shower pressure is good at 19th floor; but the bath tub leak(see picture ). Our bath towels look dirty and feel rough. Actually the bath mat looks cleaner and whiter than the bath towels.
Breakfast spread is good but taste so so.
Overall will recommend if you are not fussy. Most staffs are friendly.
A great place for a family vacation. My daughter is 3 years old and yet there is options for her to enjoy. Rooms are well air conditioned and staff are really accommodating. Bell boys and counter staff arrange the transportation were outstanding and helpful.
Buffet breakfast can be better in terms of variety. Menu change daily or alternate days would be ideal.
Overall a good experience will definitely revisit in the near future.
The king size bed seems a little smaller then expected so please consider that before booking a king size bed.
Very Good

AAnonymous UserVery pleasant stay at the hotel! Had an add on of the breakfast at promotional price of 78 ringgit per pax and the buffet spread was awesome! The staff are courteous and welcoming, feel very warm each time we bump into them. There’s a pillow menu for you to choose & welcome cookies upon check in (very delicious)! The massage shop in the hotel called Swan Reflex was good and price is comparable with shops outside (had an additional discount for hotel guests). Hotel is about 10mins walk away from CIQ, abit difficult to walk now with the ongoing construction at the surrounding.

AAnonymous UserClean basic room. Right opp aeon mall for shopping, with food (mainly after lunch) & massage options around. Breakfast spread is normal. No convenience store around. Can only go to the petrol kiosk opp if aeon closes.

AanisleyyaaThe best part is the view. The view is insane. I love it. Staffs are friendly. Room is spacious and clean. Toilet is big and clean.The hotel is a bit outdated but nice and clean. The food has many varities and decent. Swimmimh pool is so big and nice. My kids enjoy it. My only concerned is there is no iron in the room. and we can only use it for 30min. It takes time to get iron because they were full house at that time. but still a nice stay for me and my family. thank you for the great hospitality.
SSuzi SohThe room suite is spacious and clean. Private beach with water sports available. Facilities like swimming pool, water park, aviary, mini games arcade, mini zoo. Lots of activities at night. Children had a fun time blowing bubbles, playing arcade games, dancing etc....
There’s a wide variety of food choices available during buffet breakfast, and you can choose from three different restaurants to dine in for lunch and dinner(Seafood, steamboat, Korean, Indian). Convenience stores & gift shops available in the hotel. Helpful staffs.
Highly recommended to all of you!
JJovin TeohWe had a wonderful stay at Anantara Resort & Villas Desaru. The resort is beautifully designed, with a relaxing atmosphere and stunning surroundings. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the facilities were well maintained. It’s a perfect getaway for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a peaceful beachside escape. Highly recommended!
VVivien TFriendly and approachable counter staff and a chilled lemongrass drink served while checking in. Thank you for letting us check-in early, very much appreciated. So thoughtful of you by giving us a room with a view of a sea, pool and nature😁 Clean and spacious room but unwanted ‘guests’ too🦟😅 Super comfortable bed and different types of pillow’s filling that make us sleep better. Two great pools with one infinity and the other winding. Not forgetting the steamroom and whirlpool that make our body feel more relaxing. The gym room was also good with different machine for workouts. The Coral Lounge was fun that filled games like pool, carrom, table tennis and many other board games too. Walking along the beach was wonderful and the strong waves crashing was thrilling. The breakfast was great as the selection was wide and food was delicious especially the croissants and harsh brown…
The food served by the various restaurant were sumptuous too. The waiter eagerly introduced their fresh seafood like the snapper, prawns and squid together with their special made sauce by the chef and it’s indeed awesome. Further more they gave 25% off (Visit Malaysia’s promotion) the bill which was a great deal. Yes, we will definitely come again 😁
