Was doing my usual monthly trip to Paradigm Mall for my regular TCM checkup.
Too lazy to travel back so decided to stay in KSL over the night and chump on the pasar malam, as usual.
Did the usual foot bath and bought some snacks to bring back as well.
Nothing much, just the usual.

Clean room. Friendly & helpful staff. Location not so convenient cos of the RTS construction. Swimming pool & other facilities on level 13 under renovation during our stay. Shower screen glass door faulty, cannot close completely, water flow out when we shower. Whole toilet floor wet. Floor tiles not the anti fall tiles. Breakfast was so so only. Lots of varieties but taste not there. I rather they focus on fewer dishes and taste good.

A large 20-30 years old hotel building. Clean , very large guest room with city view on the high floor. Fast check in and friendly staff. Very good buffet breakfast. Good water pressure at the high floor bathroom.
None smoking rooms are available, but sometimesl smell of the smoking still coming from room ventilation.
Good room price. Will stay again if I come to Johor Baru.
Overall, my experience at this hotel was quite poor. The location is very inconvenient; you need to take a taxi for everything, whether it's dining or shopping, which isn't very travel-friendly. The gym equipment is old and run-down. Breakfast options are limited and unvaried. The swimming pool appears to have been neglected for a long time, with poor water quality and an unkempt environment. There's also a quality issue with the clothes hangers in the room; two of my white garments developed noticeable yellow stains after being hung, rendering them unusable and damaging my clothes. The hotel should definitely take responsibility for compensation. All in all, it's not good value for money, and I wouldn't recommend staying here.

Everything was great during my stay. The staff were very alert, friendly, and always ready to help, which made the experience even more pleasant. The room was spacious, cozy, and well-maintained, and the bed was extremely comfortable—perfect for a good rest.
The only area for improvement would be the toilet cleanliness, which could be better maintained. Also, the shower head is the older fixed type. It would be much more convenient to have a removable shower head, especially for families with kids or for guests who may not want to wash their hair every time. Breakfast was great too.. Will be back..

While the rooms are clean and the location is excellent, our stay was not perfect which caused by several issues. There is no free parking; hotel guests are charged RM12 per day. Furthermore, the parking is managed by a third party, and despite providing our car plate number to the front desk, the system failed to recognize it. This resulted in us being stuck at the gantry for over five minutes while waiting for the intercom staff to verify our payment. We wanted to show the intercom staff the parking receipt issued by the hotel, but he insisted to call to confirm.
Additionally, there is a discrepancy in the hotel’s advertising regarding facilities. Although a sauna is listed, the front desk confirmed upon arrival that no such facility exists. This was quite disappointing as it felt like false advertising.

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 apartment is clean, neat and well maintained. Furniture, beds, sofa, television are good enough for use. 4 queen size beds are provided for 8 person use. Basic amenities are available too. There are many food options around this location.
The only issue is that the 2 access card failed to allow the lift to open to unit 33-06. We had to seek help from the booking office and security guard to look into this lift accessibility issue and it took half an hour each time to resolve it. The owner has to resolve the access card problem to avoid lift accessibility issue.
I was skeptical at first to stay in this hotel looking at the past reviews. To my surprise, not only the location was good, the hotel room was in very good condition too. We enjoyed our stay in Cel hotel. Not forgetting the friendly staffs at the counter too. Do not forget to bring along cash RM50 to place as deposit upon check-in which will be refunded upon check-out. We will chose to stay here if we can to this area again next time. Thank you for your hosting.

The Grand Paragon Hotel in Johor Bahru is an exceptionally convenient choice for travelers looking to explore the city. Its prime location offers easy access to ride-hailing services like Grab and puts you within walking distance of KSL City Mall and a variety of local eateries.
The hotel provides a safe environment complemented by a helpful and friendly staff. Guests can enjoy a wide range of on-site amenities, including a massage center, a restaurant, a convenience store, and a swimming pool. Furthermore, hotel guests can take advantage of a breakfast buffet for just 30 Ringgit. The rooms themselves are notably spacious and maintained to a very high standard of cleanliness.

Eed anA hotel that i like that is far from the noisy part of jb. Place for me to just chill and sleep, after a day out to shop and makan. Hungry at night or early morning order food, pickup eat on bed and watch TV.
Room is big and clean, aircon strong and make me sleep until tomorrow. Toilet water also hot, feel shiok. Washing machine, shiok I wash clothes then go back can relax no need wash.
Then cny strike midnight, fireworks just out side my balcony. Nice but I scared le, keep shooting fireworks till early morning. Feel like going to hit my balcony. Whole place smoky like got fog. Scary experience, adventure!
Everything is good, but just during checkout the staff looks like a senior staff serving me no expression, no words, shocking by such service.
JJust good enoughI was there for 3 nights, booking 2 rooms with queen size bed.
It was a less than satisfactory experience. I specifically requested for rooms away from elevators but they gave me 2 rooms that are right next to their employee elevator. So it means, the elevator is in between of the 2 rooms that I booked for my parents and I. No doubt, the employee elevator meant less activity but it's still next to the elevator where ppl could easily come up and down.
Secondly, we were unable to get the key card to open the door to the corner room that is for my parents. Took 1 trip down to concierge to inform them about the problem. They programmed the key card again and problem still exists. Only after I told them to relocate my parents to a different floor that they mentioned that the battery in the scanner of the door ran out so they have to get technician to change them. So, that left a bad impression from the getgo.
Thirdly, once we got on that floor, it smelled bad. I had to get housekeeping to spray air-freshener to get rid of the smell. I believe it from the drainage, where if water wasn't used or flushed down, it can start to smell. So my question was, how long was the room toilets not cleaned or flushed? If the rooms were occupied, surely it shouldn't smell.
Fourth, the pool was not what is expected of a hotel pool. Even a boutique hotel pool look better than that. But I don't care too much about pools as I am looking for good place to rest after spending a lot of time sightseeing when I'm traveling.
Fifth, noise insulation wasn't good. I could hear the guest in the next room snoring from my room. Let alone if the guest spoke loudly, I could hear.
The staff were polite and kind for the most part. One or 2 staff may not know certain things but they are probably new to the job and are on training. Not a big matter.
It is situated in a good location. It is 20-25 mins away from Johor city square. It is in a nice suburban neighbourhood, but within a commercial round area with a park in the middle. There is even a big Aeon Mall right opposite the hotel. Traffic isn't bad going into that area.
If you're looking to spend a lot of time in the room during your travel, this is not the one for you. If you want a comfortable room to rest for the night, this is good enough.
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. 🌊💛

GGuest UserFacilities: The facilities are a bit old, which is understandable since the hotel itself is quite old.
Hygiene: Despite the hotel being old, it was very clean. The room had no strange smells, and the beach was also clean with no rubbish.
Environment: The environment was absolutely fantastic, haha! The beach is right outside, and when we went, there was hardly anyone around. It was incredibly relaxing, and we could see the sea right from our room.
Service: The staff were very welcoming. The buffet was decent; I especially loved the soft-boiled eggs. Although the air conditioning, hairdryer, and sink drainage were all broken on the first day of check-in, and they couldn't fix it overnight, they did move us to another room on the second day. Overall, I'd give it a 4 out of 5.
MMFYDFAThis was our second stay since 2015, and while the rooms are spacious, the resort now feels dated. I was particularly upset by the cleaning policy; our room had no ”Do Not Disturb” signage provided, and housekeeping entered to clean while we were out for breakfast without our request.
As I prefer to secure my personal belongings before anyone enters, this lack of privacy was very uncomfortable. The resort has good beach access, but they must provide door tags and respect guest boundaries. A neutral experience overall compared to our first visit.
EElenalowSuch a beautiful places for ideal short vacation. Strongly recommended hotel if you visiting Desaru. All the staff very friendly and helpful. Good to be here and they help us decorate the room and free us a birthday cake as well.
GGuest UserThe environment was nice, but the staff service needs improvement. It didn't feel like a 5-star experience anymore, compared to my last visit.
Some facilities are outdated and haven't been replaced in time; this shouldn't be happening in a five-star hotel.
The drawers in the room is starting to smell musty.
For example, public restrooms on the beach.(i dint take pic)
The deterioration of the door is really unacceptable to me.
