Find hotels in The Zon Ferry Terminal

Pro Got free upgrade to superior triple. Free fast WIFI. New hotel. Value for money at nett RM/night for a above 4 star but lower than 5 star hotel. What's the difference with a 5-star hotel?. (i) Well it has a cotton pillow instead of a feather pillow. (ii) There is no bathtub but it does have a great rain shower with strong water pressure. (iii) Thick carpets but not as thick as a 5-star hotel. (iv) Bed and bed linens however are as good as a 5-star hotel bed. (v) Bed linens however can be a bit more softer/smoother. However this might be pushing it as not may 5-start hotels bed linens are very smooth. (vi) Bathroom not as big as that of a 5-star hotel. (vii) Don't like the water closet as it does not have a hand bidet. (ix) Great family swimming pool. (x) Good breakfast spread and delicious. Again not big enough spread for a 5-star hotel. Con (i) There is an intermitten methane-line smell in the hotel corridors. But not so irritating as it does not go into the room. (ii) A major drawback which I think the hotel would need to fix immediately is the noisy air-corn in the room. A real turn-off, especially given that its a relatively new hotel. Overall, not a 5-star hotel but a above-average 4-star hotel. Real value for money for the price.

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.

the location is easy access by car,bus and taxi.this hotel is very near plaza pelangi and ksl.lobby is so so but the room is superb.the room is quite big for 2 people and beautiful design and decorations like sofa and working table.the bathroom is nice and with bathtub.breakfast is excellent and many choices.this hotel is one of the best in johor bahru and this is just 3 stars hotel but look like 4 stars hotel.but the swimming pool is indoor,cold and does not look clear.but gym and sauna is basic but it is good enough.

We decided to go to Johor Bahru because Singapore prices have gotten way out of hand for hotels these days. I wanted only a pool to chill by and a five star resort experience without the Western five star prices and that's what I got. Three nights at US$365 total w/ breakfast for a deluxe pool facing room on the 9th floor. The pool / Straits facing room was worth the little extra. Breakfast also worth the extra. Great to wake up to that view in the morning and orange sunsets from the 9th floor. Staff were extremely pleasant, they could not do enough for us. As ever, you have to watch the bills if you order from the bar or restaurant and be mindful of the "++" thing in that part of the world. If the price is 16 Ringitt plus plus (MYR 16++) you could find a bill for 23 Ringitt with GST, Service fee etc, something which I did. I protested slightly about this to my waiter and they reduced my bill back to the sensible 16 for a beer. But hey, you are in this part of the world for a reason - to enjoy it and sharpen your wits a little. Taxi to downtown, less than MYR 10 (USD$ 3). There was a nearby restaurant (not the 'Cusin' place, but almost next to it just further up to the left - opposite direction to McDondal's) with a lovely lady and her brother-in-law that served good food. Family of three we ate for about 23 MYR or the price of a beer at the hotel. Cashed USD$200 for three day stay and it was way too much. Got foot massage, lived a little, managed to take a taxi back to Singapore at Kotaraya bus terminal for MYR80 and still had SGD$70 left for first day in Singapore with the change. Bargain. All in all, this is a great place. Very few Western tourists so it is a little bit of a secret for now, but I bet the secret will get out and the prices will go up. It was my 3 and half year-old's first time in that part of the world. JB not as intense as say Phnom Penh or Phuket. It opened her eyes.

this is my 3rd time staying at mutiara hotel and this is the best jb hotel ever. i have stayed at many many jb hotels, from 11@century to tune to bliss to citrus to hotel@ciq to zon to bluewave to etc.....and mutiara will always be my top choice! the only reason why i have tried so many others is because mutiara is slightly pricier than the rest. if you have money and looking for luxury, mutiara is definitely for u! the bed is extremely sleep inducing. breakfast is nice for jb hotel breakfast. havent found a better one maybe except ksl. the facilities are great. service is great. asked for toothbrush, service was prompt and they call up to make sure you have gotten what you want! only con: the showerhead of the bathtub is too weak! that's the only con. and i think it might just be this room. water takes a while to heat and usage is not dummy proof...so might have to toggle abit to make sure it's hot water. the hotel is right beside holiday plaza, therefore very very convenient for shopping. the lobby staff are very efficient and quick to serve as well. nothing but praises for mutiara

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 remember when I want to book this hotel and my mom said don't trust the photo because we might get different and worse than the pictures displayed. But little did we know that the hotel is actually pretty good. The room is spacious, very clean, nice view, friendly staff and the room smells so good when we enter. You can park your car outside the hotel with a guard on the watch. Also there is 7-11 store beside the hotel in case you wanna grab anything in the middle of the night. I will definitely come back here when I visit JB.

The suite is fantastic. Big and spacious, and feels very homely. The feel of the room makes you want to stay in, and not leave the room at all. Room service was prompt on all occasions and the staff are very friendly. The location of the hotel is great if you like to head over to the duty free shops at the Zon, or simply indulge in the local food along the streets. For the price paid for the rooms, the suite is certainly a great deal. I would rate the stay in this hotel as one of the best hotel stays I have ever had.

Celebrated our anniversary there! My girlfriend loves the surprise unexpectedly planned by Belllo team. I could say, you can't even get this kind of standard at other 3-star rated hotel. I only managed to check-in at night, the staff(forgot to see the name) really has good attitude and provide awesome service. Not all the staffs there has that kind of good attitude thou. We gotten the 4th floor. Our room is good and clean! No issue with the bed. Some noises can be heard when people are shutting doors or whats not. But seriously, is a norm for 3-stars or below hotels. Hope that they can maintain all these in the future. There is security during the night, food eateries everywhere. Loads of cafes and traditional food right opposite towards Trus. Except that they are having construction which blocked the whole row.. so have to actually walked a longer way. For lazy people like us, every essential needs are just few steps away from hotel entrance. Even when you are hungry at night, no worries. You will be able to find food! The best gratitude I could give this hotel is that i will definitely be back again. Just hoping that they won't put up their price too high. Tried these during their opening promotion.

okay, let's try to do this by the segments: The room i booked was one of the best rooms: a superior deluxe room they featured in photos. it is on the highest floor (for rooms) with a decent city view: my window was facing the food court in city sq. Location:- you can see the hotel's prominent logo from the causeway on the bus & crossing the overhead bridge towards city square from the customs. its hard not to find the hotel. Check in was painless hotel staff were professional & friendly even by western standards. I reached shortly after 2pm and was already in the shower by 2.07 pm. my room came with tea & coffee facilities (essentially a electronic teapot & instant coffee) & a safe (this is important-we are talking about JB). Hygiene is not up to western standards but def. above m'sia expectations. in addition to another review, there are blood stains on the bed & dried mucus-like stains on the blanket (correspondingly-you can imagine how that came about). on my check-in there are also no toiletries provided. this was rectified the next day when the staff came to make-up room. i) he was very attentive - i was working in the room, he tried his best not to cause disturbance. ii) i then realised there seems to be no communication between hotel mgt & cleaning staff - they are unaware if the guest has checked-out or not. hotel should take note of this. hotel is good value for price but pricey for JB stds. puteri pacific with lousier service & older facilities is abt SGD15 more. Citrus is def. a better buy tho'. Hotel staff are are excellent by western standards. if overall service quality fall any further, it'll lose its competitive advantage. security is below std also, no cctvs on corridors & stairs (which were not locked - outsiders can come in). Hotel is def well positioned for further growth, but has to take note of current faults to be improved.

I am quite familiar with the estate where the hotel is in but had never wanted to stay in it. But my opinion has changed completely. Despite the 1990s facade and seemingly off-site location, the interior is very premium and the room is very clean, outperforming it's status as a 4 star hotel. The room is plush, and huge. The bathroom came with a clean large bathtub, and a powerful shower with hot water in good supply. Some flaking of the chrome piece on the bathtub knob is seen but not disturbing. Otherwise, it's in a very good condition. It even comes with a rubber headrest for relaxing in the tub. WiFi is strong although I wished the aircon could cope better with the large room. From my high nonsmoking floor, I realized how near it is to walk to the nearby ksl mall and holiday plaza. The hotel is also 15 mins walk to the pelangi plaza, which is the only area you can find early morning supper nearby. For 15 mins walk, you can also walk to the nearby sri tebrau food centre. The location is very good. The swimming pool was a let down. It's very small and you have to walk through the conference rooms floor in swimming trunks, and then down a dark stairway to get to it. There is no one giving out pool towels too. Overall, a very good stay for the location, comfort and price.

I read one of the reviews that she booked this hotel to celebrate a birthday and requested for decorations in the room and actually got it. So my boyfriend and i were just thinking of whether we should stay for the night after doing some visitings, and we were looking for affordable yet convenient location to KSL since we would hang out there till late. And i managed to grab the last room here at 1pm on the same day. Made my request in the box during booking - requested for a birthday decoration as it would be a surprise + an anniversary staycation. You know how such special requests usually wont go through to the hotel, or maybe some hotels just dont care / bother. So i tried my luck and left a request whether i get it or not it'll just be a bonus since i already got to book the room at a steal! :) But to my surprise, i actually received an email reply from the hotel to say they have noted my requests and will get it done. I replied back and told them if they cant make it in time for my check in at 4pm, they can do it by 10pm. But by about 3pm, they replied that the decoration has already been done and i could check in anytime. I was really impressed. We walked over from KSL about 7mins walk, and upon check in i was told that the hotel actually gave us a free room upgrade. So instead of 1 queen bed, we actually got an extra single bed in the room. Which was a really nice gesture. Just nice my sis was in JB too so she came along and we had a mini birthday celebration for my bf. I would really like to thank the staffs of Hallmark Regency Hotel especially those who had replied to my emails during the course of my pre-stay and stay (cos i had other carpark questions as well). Thanks for letting us have such a memorable and wonderful stay, and at such an affordable price. I would definitely recommend my friends and come back for my future staycations in JB. :) 5 stars is definitely not enough! heh Cheers!

Drove to johor for a short trip with my Sister and boyfriend during the second day of Chinese new year. At first we are unsure how to navigate there. After using google map, the place was quite alright. It's near Zon, a coast by the strait full of seafood restaurants and there's a shopping centre. Great location for supper or to stroll after a meal. Overlooking across the strait is Singapore. We had an authentic Korean food for supper there! Anyway, the rooms are spacious and clean. The food tastes good too at a reasonable price. We ordered Their signature fried rice for RM 20 (without any service charge or tax as we paid cash). We booked 2 rooms as we thought the room to be small. But upon checkin, we realize that the standard room can accommodate 3 people as inside has a sofa with orange cushion. I find overall the hotel is value for money. Will stay there again the next time we go, and this time with just booking one room.

The hotel location is excellent as it is situated adjacent to the Zon International Ferry Terminal. So you just walk through the direction from of the immigration office in the Ferry Terminal Building and it's very easy to find the lobby of the hotel. Since the hotel is in the Duty Free Zone, shopping is also convenient for you as the shopping mall is attached to the hotel with many duty free stores and food stores inside. During our stay, we got a room with splendid view facing the Johor Strait and the bridge connecting Johor Bahru and Singapore. In front of the hotel (still in the same duty free zone complex) you will find a superb seafood restaurant with various food selection and reasonable price. This is my first travelling in which most of my time was spent staying at the hotel instead of walking exploring the city. The only drawback of the hotel is the in room dining service which is very difficult to get after midnight.

To sum up my accommodations, I had a fuss free and peaceful stay whilst in the hotel premises. Location: Access to the nearest shopping mall (Plaza Pelangi) is about 2 minutes walk away south. There is a bus stop just meters away from the hotel's entrance; I was helpfully related by one of the staff that all the buses that stop there would eventually reach the city centre and bus terminal (probably helpful if you're taking bus rides back enroute to Singapore). During a large part of the day and evening taxis also travel along the main road in front of it, and it's easy enough for them to turn into the smaller road in front of the hotel to pick you up if you ever need to get anywhere further and don't feel like walking. It's entirely possible to walk to another nearby mall located about 1.2km away, which is KSL City Mall (north-west), and the mall's facade was visible from my particular room's view on the third floor. If you're travelling by car, do note that parking is generally sparse, but not non-existent. You'll be allowed a reserved parking space in the aforementioned small road directly in front of the hotel if available. Room Decor: Hotel is rather new; paint is fresh, rooms are clean (Did some dust "investigations" and this hotel evidently practices high dusting). Modern minimalist. LCD TV, safety deposit box. CONS: No closed wardrobe, but you get instead about 3-4 hangars to use with the stylish wall hanging fixtures. Air-conditioned with manual control. Room Space: Rather spacious, fit for two. Bed is clean and comfortable (Not too hard, nor too soft), and inviting for other activities besides sleeping (lol). Toilet: Very clean and inviting, and also new. Comes with towels, disposable toothbrush/paste, shower cap, soap cake, small bottle of shower gel and shampoo. Staff usually replenishes these upon use within the day. View: Windows are sealed, and affixed with a roller blind, i.e; you cannot open the window. Rooms are also

In my previous review of the same trip I mentioned some info is missing from agoda when I booked but a phone call tobthe hotel cleared my doubts. For the benefit of others, Hotel CIQ Johor Baharu hotel rooms are like this: Standard - single bed Superior - double bed Deluxe - one single bed one double bed Family room - two double beds Booked one superior and one deluxe room as the family room was fully booked as it was the year end school holidays. Rooms were clean. Newly renovated. Lift/elevator was new and uses touch screen buttons. Confortable pillows and mattress. Toiletries bare minimal and only 200/250ml of water in a sealed cup provided. Bring your own hair dryer and toothpaste/toothbrush but there are at least 3 sundry/convenience stores nearby and on either sides of the hotel like a few steps away selling all yr necessities and bread, snacks etc. A stone's throw from restaurants, Chinese or Muslim food available at nearby restaurant/shops. In room internet erratic. Fast enough but my devices kept getting disconnected. Overall value for money for the size.

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night and booked for a family room. The room was very clean. This family room doesn’t have any windows, so you might need to inform them earlier if you need a room with windows. Staffs are so nice and helpful. There was even a ‘mini grocery store’ at the lobby - which my kids love it! It is one of the best value hotel i have stayed. Thank you 😁

I was staying here before entering my university. I stayed here with my parents and brother. Quite a good experience as the best thing of this hotel is, it's located very near to the well-known shopping malls, i.e. CitySquare and KSL Megamall. Everything is good, friendly staff, ok-ok breakfast, comfy room, and so on. But it did ruin my first impression when I realised that they still use old style key instead of key card. No kettle inside to allow us to boil water but the water dispenser outside each floor does provide boiled water. Good shower with high water flow, fridge is provided, big and comfy beds. Just one thing that really annoyed us was the Hindu ceremony which was held just in front the hotel. I don't know whether that is permanent or just temporarily, but for the 3 days we stayed there, the prayers and the smoke did't stop at all from 8am to 12am. The whole room was filled with smoke smell and the prayers was so loud that we couldn't sleep until 12am. However, my family and I agree that it's pointless to complain to the hotel. That's not their fault too. Summary, everything is excellent as a budget hotel, except the Hindu ceremony.

even before i book from agoda i have been staying in this hotel for a few times but with agoda the price is better and i was surprise that they have cable tv now with star movie it was something new for this hotel where they don have it before and the guest will not be boring even they wanted to stay in the room for the whole day it's a regret that they do not have wi-fi in the room hope they improve on this

Room is fairly small but clean. Bathroom is also satisfactorily clean. Generally comfortable. Location is great. Very near to new shopping JB City Center is just next block 5 mins walking distance. Also near to the duty free The Zon shopping mall. Food is ample especially Indian & Chinese as well as Malay too. At night there are food stalls along the ally behind the hotel. Varieties of local food of your choice open till late night. Convenient stores ample. Saturday night the place is so alive with hundreds of stalls selling all kind of stuff , like up-town. This is just across the road from the hotel. Parking places also convenient for daily basis, good if you are going to Singapore, you can park your car conveniently. There are few parking area near the Police Station , 5 mins walking. Charges about RM 10 per day. I think that is very reasonable. This is really value for money stay, I will return here for stay next time.

A good hotel at an excellent location. Centrally located. Quiet location except for the occasional locomotive sound. Grab fare roughly: Larkin Sentral RM8. UTC JB RM8.00 JB Sentral RM7.00 KSL Resort RM8.00 For the hotel rate you pay, this hotel is very good. Hot water shower, toothbrush, coffee making facility, LCD TV and dressing/writing table. Best rate will be when you book through Agoda. Beautiful stay.
