"Always my choice in Johor, consistently very good and very well maintained. Shopping mall attached to the complex has grown the amount of outlets now offering services, basically all your needs are met here. Great gym + pool on site A+++"
"I had the pleasure of staying at Hyatt Place Johor Bahru with my family, and I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding hospitality we received throughout our stay.
A special thank you goes to Lawrence, Front Office Manager and the team for organizing such a thoughtful birthday surprise for my daughter. The effort, attention to detail, and genuine warmth made her feel incredibly special.
We look forward to returning to Hyatt Place Johor Bahru in the future and will gladly recommend the hotel to our family and friends."
"Amari has been our go to hotel each time we go JB due to its location. Just that the road leading to the hotel can be congested due to the construction happening."
"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!"
"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."
"11/10 experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed with their exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was amazingly comfortable, and the amenities exceeded our expectations.
The hotel's location was perfect, making it easy to explore the surrounding area while still enjoying a peaceful atmosphere. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay, always greeting us with a smile and offering assistance whenever needed.
We can't wait to return and will happily recommend it to family and friends. We did return on 11 July) Thank you for making our trip so special!"
"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."
