Top Taman Merdeka Hotel Reviews

Space Residency by A----Walk 100m to KSL

10/10 Excellent

"Apartment is very clean and wonderfully kept. Basic amenities are provided which makes our short stay worry-free. The communication with the staff, even after we have checked in is highly responsive and effective. They are very friendly too. Definitely a new go-to venue for our JB visit in future!"

Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here very much. It was conveniently located next an indoor shopping area. Loved the bathroom toiletries and robe that were provided. We ordered room service two nights and it was delicious and quick! If we were ever in JB again, I wouldn't hesitate to book here."

Sheraton Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"Great first-time experience staying at Sheraton Hotel JB! Everything feels new (literally lol), the hotel lobby smelt good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked a twin room, and it was very spacious with 2 super single beds (or 2 small double beds), a small sofa + cushioned chair with a big round-ish table, 1 cushioned seat stand(?) for putting barang, a cushioned luggage opening area/cabinet, and the beds were comfortable. Cleanliness may need slight improvement as we had 1 bath towel that had a few strands of hair folded within, and a strand of hair under the blanket on each of our beds 😂 Another 2 small "issues" we had was the shower room glass door being unable to be closed fully and the aircon being a bit loud and not very cold despite the temperature being automatically set at 23.5°C. Then again, being in reasonably "temperated" room may not be a bad thing as we did not wake up shivering lol 🤣 My last comment on the hotel would be on their buffet breakfast! The food variety was great and the taste is majority good too! Thank you for your kind hospitality ☺️ *On a side note, there is a new mall connected to the hotel, and although it is not very big, it was nice to shop in as there is a big supermarket & pharmacy in the basement, sufficient food options, massage places (highly recommend Qi dynasty!) and also "useful" shops like Watsons, Daiso and MatsuKiyo."

Amari Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"I am writing to provide feedback on my recent stay at your esteemed establishment, the Amari Hotel. Firstly, hands up to your breakfast buffet spread. Daily change in the Asian cuisine menu. Accessible to good eateries and stone throw away to shopping malls. I would like to commend the excellent functioning of the air conditioning system. It maintained a pleasantly cold temperature throughout my stay, which contributed greatly to the comfort of my visit. Additionally, the room assigned to us was notably spacious. This ample space allowed my son plenty of room to play freely, making our stay all the more enjoyable. The room also featured a balcony, which offered a delightful outdoor area to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The bathroom was equipped with basic amenities and included a bathtub, which provided added convenience and comfort during our stay. Most importantly, I was particularly impressed with the cleanliness of the room and bathroom facilities. The high standard of hygiene truly stood out and reflected the hotel’s commitment to guest satisfaction. Staffs were all courteous, polite and friendly from the concierge, security and front counter. In summary, the room at Amari Hotel fit perfectly with our needs, and I would not hesitate to recommend your establishment to others or to return in the future. (Booked for 2 nights grand deluxe King room but was upgraded to Junior suite & extended for another 1 night)"

Country Garden Danga Bay Sea View Homestay by Stayrene

10/10 Excellent

"Pool: Poor condition! Unit: Very clean. Location: Perfect, lotsa eateries and mini marts. Check in process: Need improvement between housekeeping & management. Despite advising our check in time and confirmation that we were able to check in at 3pm, our keys arw not available as unit still under housekeeping status. Keys collected close to 5pm. We could have done so much things in that 2hrs waiting!"
