Ξενοδοχεία με 4-Star σε Johor, Malaysia

Overall, this was an above average apartment stay. Lots of amenities in the apartment, including a washing machine, cooker and full size fridge. The biggest advantage is definitely the location — the apartment is situated directly above Paradigm Mall, making it extremely convenient for shopping, dining and getting around without having to travel far. The stay itself was comfortable enough, but there were a couple of issues worth highlighting. Firstly, we received an unauthorised SMS that appeared to be related to our booking, and we nearly fell victim to a scam. Guests should be especially cautious about responding to suspicious messages or making payments outside the official booking platform. Secondly, although the apartment can accommodate up to 7 guests, we were provided with only one access key card. This was quite inconvenient, especially for a larger group where people may have different schedules and need to come and go independently. Overall, the stay was satisfactory and the excellent mall location was a major plus, but better security awareness and providing sufficient key cards for the number of guests would significantly improve the experience.

Check in and out was a breeze. Had to leave a deposit (in cash if you preferred )for our stay which was promptly returned during check out. The staff were all very kind and attentive. But I cannot say the same for the restaurant where we had our breakfast. For 2 days, I had to ask someone for a bowl for the lontong (both mornings) . You can't be expecting me to eat it out of a plate do you? There were no bowls on the table or anywhere nearby. Someone needs to take note of this. On our first day, no one was clearing our plates so there was a stack of them . The second day was better as it was cleared away promptly. Overall our stay was comfortable. Room 1705 was really cold and we were not able to adjust the Aircon.They did offer to get some people to come look at it, but we declined as we were checking out the next day.The shower area was also not draining properly, so every time you step into the shower area, there's a pool of water. Other than that, all was good.

There were two levels of rooms. Master bedroom was above. Children’s room was below. We slept with our kids as they didn’t dare to stay alone in a foreign place. Toilet next to kids room had a permanent urine smell (sewage) and had a rainforest shower which could not bath our children as we would be showered too. Bothe toilets had small water pressure. Especially the rainshower next to the kids room had very small water pressure which felt like a drizzle during bath. We preferred to bath at the toilets at level 7 where the swimming pool was. No cupboards at the kids levels and only a standing hanger to hang 4 people’s clothes. Master bedroom had a cupboard which was good for my helper to use. No TV in master bedroom was other deterrence we did not want to use the room and be with our kids. The cinema was good but no Disney. We only watched 1 show on Netflix the entire stay. So book if u really are having a stay in to watch cinema and whole day on Netflix. The pantry has one metal sauce pan to cook. And the food water filter was on top of the induction cooker. Hence the big hob is not usable. The small hob was used for the big sauce pan provided. Water filter only has hot and warm water. U would have to place your own bottle of water in the fridge to cool it down or take the ice or make your own ice for cold water. There is a washing machine with their detergent provided. Clothes will smell if u do not immediately take out and air when u are out. This is due to not deep cleaning of the washing machine and smell previously left over. There is no drying places in the house or backyard. However lots of hangers provided. U can hang your clothes at the play area near the aircon at night to laundry. Check out level 7 which had good reviews and views and toilets. The gym was good also.

Firstly, I came across Hotel Granada through a recommendation and decided to give it a try. So, I went ahead and made a booking. When I first arrived, my impression of the hotel wasn’t bad at all. During check-in, the staff asked if I would like an early check-in if I signed up as a hotel member. I thought, why not? After signing up, they immediately arranged a room for us, and that’s where our hotel journey began. Our first room was clean and neat. It also came with a Smart TV, which was a nice touch as my family and kids could enjoy Netflix together. Unfortunately, the nightmare started when I switched on the air-conditioning. There was a very loud motor grinding noise, which made it difficult to rest and resulted in a sleepless first night. The next morning, I went down for breakfast. There was a good variety of food to choose from. If you wanted noodles, you had to cook them yourself 😂. The tea and coffee, however, were not really recommended in my opinion. The rest of the breakfast was still acceptable. After breakfast, I went to the front desk to report the air-conditioning issue and asked whether the unit was actually functioning properly. The staff were professional and quickly arranged for a maintenance staff member to check the room. The maintenance staff spent around 15 minutes troubleshooting and informed me that the motor needed to be replaced. The front desk then arranged for us to change rooms, so we were moved from Level 4 to Level 5. Unfortunately, the problems didn’t end there. After spending the whole day outside with my family, we returned to the hotel at night. The moment I went to take a shower — NO HOT WATER! 😅. I contacted the front desk and was informed that there was a pipe leak and that the water heater was not working. In the end, everyone had to shower with extremely cold water. Definitely not the kind of hotel experience we were hoping for. Honestly, my biggest concern is why the first room was given to guests when the air-conditioning had such a serious noise issue. It makes me wonder whether the room was properly checked before it was assigned. I appreciate that the front desk staff were polite and professional whenever I reported the issues, and they did try to assist by arranging a room change. However, having problems with both the air-conditioning and hot water, especially after changing rooms, really affected our overall stay. I hope the management can improve their room inspection and maintenance procedures so future guests won’t have to go through the same experience.

Great location for shopping, definitely a good choice. However, getting to the main entrance of the hotel is a bit inconvenient. The breakfast options were quite limited and not very satisfying. Otherwise, everything else was pretty good—the cleanliness and service were both fine.

This is our 3rd stay at Dao. Quite a disappointing one as the first 2 were 10/10 fantastic! Pros: Pool is still beautiful with the views, size and landscaping. Size of 2 bedroom is fantastic for 4 pax. Water pressure is good. Lots of towels. Bed is comfortable. Fridge is cold. Ample parking. Conveniently suited near restaurants and a supermarket. Cons: Found 4 live baby cockroaches in room over 2 nights. And a don’t know what silverfish worm crawly thing size of a 5 cent coin. Beds have small bugs. All 3 rooms. We actually changed 3 rooms and the reception was very professional and helpful. This was already at 10+pm so we didn’t want to fuss too much. Then came the cockroaches in the last room! I would have changed room again but I felt bad. Asked for 2 extra pillows and housekeeping took 3 hrs to send it up. But they very kindly apologised. Breakfast is the worst this time! First morning: it was busy so the server ticked our room and asked us to sit at the sofas to wait for a table. After a table was available and cleared, she forgot about us and passed seats to another couple who came just at that time. Of course this isn’t right! I could have stood and waited but I listened and sat to wait, end up she gave our table away. Second morning: same lady! She ticked our room and waved her hand behind to tell us to go into another dining area. I asked where, she replied at the back. I asked again sorry, where at the back? She just said. Back. So we went out to explore and saw some families eating at another room. We entered, and this is like a second class room. Tables are dirty, utensils have to take yourself from a tray. Lighting is dim. I refused to sit there as I have kids who have to open 2 double glass doors with food and I’m afraid they might drop plates. We went back to the front to wait for seats. A 4 seaters table later became available, but the same lady (was understaffed I guess) only kept clearing 2 seaters and didn’t clear this. It was a manager I think, (black jacket from reception) who finally came to clear our table and set up with cutlery. Alas! Who knows.. no plates! No bowls! No cups! No food! Should have taken pic! Really! Breakfast area cannot handle this Sunday crowd. Nasi lemak, cereal, hash brown, coffee and some other sides all no more! Both mornings we came down about 9.15am. Breakfast ends at 10.30am. One more thing. The lady kept gesturing that the seats on the second morning was at the back. I had to find my way there. After we were sat by the black jacket manger lady, we saw the first server personally escort another family of 3 to the same room at the back. Why? Because I’m different colour? Different gender? Our timing is like 5-10 min apart. No food to eat no plates so I was people watching and happened to see this. I don’t expect 6 star hotel service but you escort this family and to me you just gestured to go to the back myself? I also paid leh. We really love this Dao. Im so sorry but this is just a brutally honest review. And the cockroaches and breakfast issues make my family wary of returning.

The hotel's location in Johor Bahru is a bit out of the way, but the advantage is its proximity to Legoland, just an 8-minute drive, which is convenient for families with kids. The Chinese food street is about a 10-minute drive away for dining options. There isn't much to eat around the hotel itself. The room facilities and equipment are pretty good, but the self-service washing machine is located in the underground parking lot and was quite confusing to use. It took us a while to figure it out before we could do our laundry. It costs 6 MYR per wash, and you need to exchange banknotes for coins at a separate machine.

Everything is ok, just I don't like the auto power cut-off switch. It's for saving energy I understand, but I just don't like it's hot when I return to the homestay, have to wait aircon to cold down the house.

I booked this stay for my boss, who travelled to Desaru over the weekend (10 October 2026) with friends to take part in a golf competition. The hotel was a great choice for a golf trip. The location is convenient for golfers, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable after a long day on the course. The rooms were clean, spacious and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The facilities and dining options were also good, making it easy for the group to unwind together. Overall, it was a pleasant and hassle-free weekend stay, and my boss and his friends enjoyed their time in Desaru. I would be happy to book Four Points by Sheraton Desaru again for future golf trips or weekend getaways.

Worth the Price, Peaceful Stay with Good Amenities — A Few Areas for Improvement Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Blue Horizon Suites, Forest City. It was definitely worth the price we paid to get an entire apartment, especially considering the space, comfort and amenities provided. Environment and Sea View The environment was quiet and peaceful, making it a great place to relax and unwind. Our unit had a partial sea view, as it was located next to the lift rather than facing the sea fully. Unfortunately, the haze affected visibility during our stay, but I believe the sea view would have been superb on a clear day. The balcony was a nice bonus and a great spot to enjoy the surroundings. Cleanliness and Amenities The apartment was clean and well-equipped. The towels provided were big and of good quality, which was a nice plus. Slippers, a hairdryer and toiletries were also provided, so we had pretty much everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One thing I noticed was that Trip.com advertised a smart toilet, but the toilet in our unit appeared to be an ordinary one without any obvious smart features. Perhaps this varies by unit, but it would be good for the listing to clarify this so guests know what to expect. Kitchen and Air-Conditioning The kitchen design could be improved. Although there was an electric stove and a cooking hood, there was no conveniently located power socket for the stove. The only available socket was underneath the cabinet, but the stove’s power cord was not long enough to reach it. This seems like a design oversight that should be looked into. The air-conditioning in the living room was another area for improvement. Even with the temperature set to 17°C, it did not feel particularly cold. Perhaps due to the open layout connecting the living room and kitchen, one air-conditioning unit may not be sufficient to cool the entire space effectively. Breakfast Breakfast was simple but acceptable. The tuna mayonnaise sandwich was nice, and the boiled egg was cooked just right without being overcooked. However, the Vitagen was served at room temperature. As it is a probiotic cultured milk drink that should be stored according to its refrigeration instructions, it would have been better if it had been properly chilled before serving. Staff and Service On the positive side, the staff were friendly, helpful and responsive. Communication was easy through WhatsApp. Whenever we needed anything, we simply messaged the front desk and received prompt assistance. The complimentary buggy service to Marina Hotel and back was also a convenient touch. Overall Experience Overall, we enjoyed our stay and felt that we received good value for money. Having an entire apartment at a reasonable price, together with the peaceful environment, cleanliness, spacious balcony, useful amenities and responsive staff, made the stay worthwhile. There are a few areas that could be improved, particularly the kitchen layout, living room air-conditioning, breakfast beverage storage and clarification of the advertised smart toilet feature. Nevertheless, these did not overshadow the overall experience. I would consider staying here again, especially for the value of having an entire apartment in a quiet and peaceful environment.
