"We found the staff at the Grand Bluewave Hotel to be very accommodating. The check in staff allowed us to check in early (5am) and nothing was a problem. The room we ordered was spacious and clean. However the bed sheets did not quite fit the bed. We are both quite tall people so that did annoy us, the sheet ended at your ankles. We had two televisions in our suite but only one remote control, lucky it worked on both. A nice kitchenette but no plates or glasses etc. We noticed lack of information in our room. No folder explaining what facilities were in the hotel, restaurants, bars, day spa etc The only thing was a room service menu. We would of liked to know about dining and things to do close by and how much the internet in the room would cost us. The pool was beautiful except for the very rough pebble edging. When it would of been built it would of been lovely and smooth and nice to walk on. After years of chlorine eroding the edging the pebbles were very rough and sharp. You could not sit on the edge of the pool without snagging your bathers. Im surprised that nothing has been done about this already and it's got to this state. Another poolside matter is no food or beverages around the pool. We would of loved to of had lunch or even a drink around the pool. I have been to other hotels which provide you with a room service menu and a phone (next to the fresh towels) to order and they will deliver to the pool. This was not an option. The hotel could increase their revenue by providing better service to their customers. Breakfast was ok, as for western food it was not the best. I understand that not many westerners probably visit this hotel and the indian/asian breakfast option was actually better. With Legoland now open and potentially attracting more international tourists, an improvement on the above items would benefit the hotel. One more thing, adding your email address to your website would be appreciated. "

"It was a pleasent stay, good deco, courteouse staff, comfortable bed, relaxing enviroment. Location wise it is great, with all the great choise of food selectiom within walking distance of the hotel. Because of the location, traffic is hectic most if the time, so its best to take "Grab" out from Amari and meet your friend somewhere else, because it may take longer time for your frend to come pick you up with the hectic traffic. The pool view room window is way too close for comfort with the opposite apartment, literary can see into each others room clearly. The in room safe is not mounted down to something, and its lightweight enough for a teenager to just pick up the safe. For a 5 star hotel, these can be improve upon. The toilet mini soap holder and cup is the transpatent plastic type, which agian; for a 5 star hotel seems kinda odd. Pool is kinda small but nice, because its not always pack; so one can enjoy by the pool side relaxing. Overall, i would recommend to stay here for friends and relative. Above mention just play to personal prefferenfe and impression. For location, price, and reknown wise; Amari JB is a choise to look at for lodging in JB."

"First of all, the staff are amazing. Very friendly and professional. They work fast and give the best support to me. I like the location as it is in the middle of Johor Bahru, situated in between two of the best shopping malls in the city. Lots to see and do. The room is comfortable, fresh and clean. Though the bathroom could be better (a bit small and water pressure not so strong). Other than that, I highly suggest this hotel!"

"My partner and I had a truly great experience at the hotel. The service staff, from front desk to housekeeping, exhibited exemplary five star service. Having stayed in many hotels in JB I can say with great certainty that doubletree is setting new standards for the hospitality industry in JB. I hope this hotel doesn't suffer the same fate as the other hotels in JB that will eventually lapse and diminish in service and upkeep over time. But for now, I have high hopes for this establishment. The only flaw I can think of is how the housekeeping missed out on replenishing tissues in my bathroom. Other than that I want to highlight that the front door team is impeccable in their dedication the work. They are the warmest group among all the departments, ready to offer help and directions. The public bathrooms on the ground floor were also easily one of the best bathrooms in JB, smelling of essential oils and sparklingly clean."

"Stayed for a night in their one bedroom, it was beyond my expectation and far best stay so far in Johor Bahru. Apartment is newly opened. The parking was quite safe and I can assure that - especially for Singaporeans who have second thoughts on parking their motorbikes in Johor Bahru. The security guards were very attentive, seen them doing round checks in the premises. The check in was swift and the rooms are really clean and comfortable. Check in time was at 3pm but we checked in way earlier around 2pm. Was issued a room key however it was not really ready when we were outside our room. Waited for 10 minutes to be in the room but it is fine for me. Location is good for solo travellers too as the hotel was just a walking distance to Komtar JBCC and City Square. There’s 7-11 convenient store just right at the hotel lobby in case you need to get something urgently. Now, the cons about the apartment was the parking you have to pay on your own. (It comes with a price I guess) And the major turn off - their housekeeper was very rude. Knocked the door several times at 10:45AM to tell us to check out when we clearly knew the check out time was 12PM. Leave that alone, the housekeeper repeatedly knocked the door again at 12PM SHARP. How intense was that. I dont remember requesting the front desk to get someone for my wake up call. She was also rude when we asked the other housekeeper to confirm the check out time. She gave us her unpleasant death stare and walked away when the other housekeeper was apologizing on her behalf. Very rude and unprofessional. I hope the management can look into this matter. Other than that, theres nothing much to point out. Will still give the 5 star rating! "

"I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. Have to say, for a 4 star hotel, it’s definitely TOP notch. As it’s a new hotel, cleanliness shouldn’t be a worry. Guests have to expect drillings every now and then. It’s really a walking distance from CIQ. But guests have to really know how to walk to be able to get to the hotel. For big family or groups, definitely recommend taking grab. No proper walkway or signage. Hotel lobby do have a this weird strong spice smell. Could be from the wood. I prefer hotel lobby to have a strong good smell. Definitely something the hotel can work on. The wifi issue from previous guests review was sorted out I think. The wifi was strong during my stay. I could even watch a couple of shows on Netflix. Overall, a great hotel with a great pricing. Will definitely recommend friends and families. "
