    “A safe and secure hotel in JB.”

    During my business trip to Singapore, I took advantage of the weekend to go on a one-night sightseeing trip to JB (a solo female trip). This hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk from JB's CIQ. You can almost move indoors from CIQ through City Square and JBCC malls (you only need to go outside once when crossing the street in front of the hotel). The reception staff were polite and well-organized, and they spoke English fluently with accurate explanations. The room was spacious and helped relieve my travel fatigue. The breakfast was superbly abundant, and I enjoyed my meal slowly over two hours, from 6:30 to 8:30. I gave up on dinner since there was only a buffet format because it was the weekend, but I found that the poolside bar on the 8th floor actually had a light snack menu including drinks, salad, and satay (grilled chicken), so I relaxed and had dinner on the bar's terrace while enjoying the fresh air. The prices were quite reasonable, and the food was delicious. The bar staff were also polite, making it a comfortable dining experience. There was a large TV monitor showing a soccer match. If you don’t want to leave the hotel for dinner but find a buffet too heavy, please consider this poolside bar as an option. If you are looking for a hotel in JB, I highly recommend the Amari Hotel. I definitely recommend getting breakfast included. Also, just for your information, there were no other Japanese people besides myself at the hotel, mall, or CIQ.

    “Best hotels in Johor Bahru”

    This hotel is conveniently located in the center of Johor Bahru, making it easy for both shopping and sightseeing. It is close to major shopping malls such as JB City Square and Causeway Point, which makes traveling to Singapore smooth, resulting in a high level of satisfaction with the location. The rooms were spacious, with a stylish design and very good cleanliness. The bedding was comfortable, allowing for a good night's sleep, and the soundproofing was excellent, enabling me to rest quietly. The staff were always friendly and quick to respond, and both check-in and check-out processes were smooth. Overall, I got the impression that the service training was well done. The breakfast offered a diverse menu and was delicious, providing a satisfying experience, and the facilities such as the swimming pool and fitness center were well maintained, making it especially suitable for family travelers.

    “The Best Choice in Johor Bahru: Amari Hotel”

    This hotel has a beautifully classic and elegant atmosphere, and the room was kept in impeccable condition. Especially, the staff's hospitality is truly top-tier, reflecting the hotel’s long-standing reputation and expertise. Since there are no direct flights from Korea to Johor Bahru, the journey involving a layover was quite exhausting. However, thanks to the attentive service of the staff, my five-day stay in Johor Bahru became a collection of wonderful memories. The location is also exceptional. Directly from the first floor, you have immediate access to Zenith Mall, Komtar JBCC, and City Square Mall, making it incredibly convenient to enjoy a shopping tour in the air-conditioned comfort of the malls. I highly recommend Amari Johor Bahru to anyone planning a visit to the city!

    “ACL Watching”

    Staying here by train from Singapore. Struggling to find the entrance in the downpour. I thought I could go through the covered corridor, but it turns out I couldn't. I asked a local man nearby, and he helped me out. For the first time in my life, I got an upgrade to a larger room. There's no bathtub, but I can comfortably stay in a clean room. The nearby dining place was friendly and delicious. Johor Bahru gives the impression of having a mix of cleaner and less clean areas, so if you can't stand dirty places, I think this is a good spot.
