The room isn't huge, but it doesn't feel cramped either. The hygiene is excellent, and the customer service is warm and friendly. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy. The hotel is integrated with a shopping mall, which is super convenient for grabbing food, getting a massage, or a haircut. However, the massage within the hotel was a rip-off – the environment wasn't clean, and they cut corners on the service. It was supposed to be a 90-minute massage, but it ended in just 70 minutes.

Very 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.

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.
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 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 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.
Very Good

YYuetming LowRoom service has room to improved. The 1st female rceptionist attended me on my check in has not taking my request seriously, I have to changed to another room & higher floor on my 2nd night and no smiling at all, not rude but seems not friendly. Overall the hotel is worth staying. The pillow quality & size need to upgrade, it's too hard & small.
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

JJenniellEnjoyed a lovely one-night stay at Tunamaya Hotel Desaru 🌊✨ The room was spacious and comfortable with an amazing ocean view — definitely a big plus that all rooms face the sea! Although some parts of the room looked a little worn off, the overall stay was still very relaxing and pleasant.
The swimming pool was huge and perfect for chilling with family or friends. Breakfast was another highlight — lots of food choices and everything tasted really good 😋
Best part? The hotel has direct beach access, so it was super easy to enjoy the peaceful beach and catch a beautiful sunrise in the morning 🌅
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 😁
HHJ_ChaiOverall is satisfactory, the breakfast was with resort style with egg station, coffee station, noodles station, porridges station, grains, salads, drinks and main course station. Not allow to take coffee but you may always get drinking water at hotel and restaurant. The resort is very big, but dimmer compared to other resort. The only bad part is, the aircond in our room is leaking.
AAnonymous UserDirect access to Adventure Waterpark at level 1.
All their staff are friendly.
Rooms are clean and tidy. There are many rooms so it is quite abit of walk. (but during holiday, it is very occupied so they did their best to allocate you the best room they have.)
Carpark is open-area so only reaching your car is alittle hassle if is raining. The guards are really hardworking, as i did go to my car at 10pm, and the guard did stand around me to observe. (this is very good that they are alert).
Royalty Lounge service is great especially when there is Imbitaas (may spell wrongly) and Bella. He is very knowledgeable and great hospitality service. As it was our first time to Desaru, he answered several of our questions with patience (including the hotel facilities etc). Check-in and out can be done at the lounge if you book the royalty suite. (its pricey thou).
Food wise - can be improved. (however taste is subjective). There is always nearby eating place. Do consider to bring Hard Rock Cafe (Hong Kong, Singapore) food menu to Desaru. (not sure if they are linked corporation).
Not necessary to book in Trip. can book direct too as we missed out certain package.
will definitely come back again.
