I decided to book a hotel room at the last minute when I went to ksl mall on may 2,2026.
Overall booking was easy, I claim the perks at youtrip apps, which switch to trip.com apps,. The booking stated 2pax which has no option to change to 1pax.
You can go to the hotel front desk from ksl mall ground floor, which is near the exit where a lot of people waiting to take bus J100 to JB Sentral. But this entrance is open from 10am to 10pm only.
The front desk was friendly and answer my question. He confirmed the room price for 1 and 2pax were the same.
The hotel is non-smoking hotel, so all rooms are not smoking which was good for those has sensitive noise.
The hotel has day use rate, but on that day was fully booked. There is a signboard written to book at the hotel website to get cheaper rate.
The room card is used on tap on the sensor inside the lift before you can press the floor button. Free wifi.
Room was clean, some tea bag, creamer, sugar, 2 btl drinking water and a electric kettle. Inside the toilet, there is a hairdryer, 2 shower cap and 2 tooth brush and toothpaste.
There is a water dispenser in the lobby near the lift if you want to refill. The aircon is cool. There is a small fridge which has no pre-filled beverage which is good so no extra charge.
TV is facing the bed, so you can watch it from the bed. My room has a big bed that can sleepy 3-4 people.
There are 2 tower, I stayed at tower 2. There is a swimming pool at level 7.
Convenience for those go there to shop, u can drop your purchase at the room then continue Shopping.

Facilities: Relatively new. Parking is free, but you need to go to the front desk to swipe your TNG card every time you leave the car park.
Cleanliness: Very clean.
Environment: The hotel's interior is excellent. However, the area in front of the hotel feels a bit like a construction site, so be careful when walking.
Service: There's a young man at the front desk who speaks Chinese.
The breakfast buffet is top-notch, with an incredibly wide selection. My only regret is having just one stomach. There were so many local dishes I didn't even know how to combine them!

A large 20-30 years old hotel building. Clean , very large guest room with city view on the high floor. Fast check in and friendly staff. Very good buffet breakfast. Good water pressure at the high floor bathroom.
None smoking rooms are available, but sometimesl smell of the smoking still coming from room ventilation.
Good room price. Will stay again if I come to Johor Baru.
Overall, my experience at this hotel was quite poor. The location is very inconvenient; you need to take a taxi for everything, whether it's dining or shopping, which isn't very travel-friendly. The gym equipment is old and run-down. Breakfast options are limited and unvaried. The swimming pool appears to have been neglected for a long time, with poor water quality and an unkempt environment. There's also a quality issue with the clothes hangers in the room; two of my white garments developed noticeable yellow stains after being hung, rendering them unusable and damaging my clothes. The hotel should definitely take responsibility for compensation. All in all, it's not good value for money, and I wouldn't recommend staying here.

This is always my go-to hotel whenever I'm in JB. The location is great, and they have an amazing infinity pool. The gym facilities are also quite good, and the overall environment is beautiful, pleasant, and comfortable. Plus, the breakfast spread is plentiful with lots of choices.

I liked the atmosphere here. We felt relaxed and welcomed from the moment we arrived. The staff took really good care of everything. It was a refreshing escape and Just wow. This hotel has a calm but classy vibe. You can tell they really care about making guests feel welcome and relaxed. From check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the space was perfectly maintained. I really liked how cozy the room felt.

Good place for a short stay. The biggest advantage is the location as it is within walking distance to JB Sentral and the customs. The room is spacious compared to a hotel and suitable for overnight trips. Self check-in was easy, just need to follow the instructions carefully. The only downside is the surrounding area is quite quiet at night and parking may be a bit confusing for first timers. Overall still worth the price.

This is a nice apartment hotel with no room service nor lobby, suitable for families especially with kids. The place is clean when we checked in, and the diy checkin is quite intuitive wth good instructions. For its price during non-peak, there’s little to complain.
When it comes to peak though, prices soars, and the number of guests creates a jam at the lift access to the 39 floor apartment rooms. During our stay, one lift was down and with only 3/4 lifts, the waiting time during checkin and checkout is very very long. Hot water the shower is centralised and not reliable at all.
Due to its proximity to KSL Mall, size of the room, and its good price during non-peak, its a recommend, but don’t expect perfection here.
I was skeptical at first to stay in this hotel looking at the past reviews. To my surprise, not only the location was good, the hotel room was in very good condition too. We enjoyed our stay in Cel hotel. Not forgetting the friendly staffs at the counter too. Do not forget to bring along cash RM50 to place as deposit upon check-in which will be refunded upon check-out. We will chose to stay here if we can to this area again next time. Thank you for your hosting.

The Grand Paragon Hotel in Johor Bahru is an exceptionally convenient choice for travelers looking to explore the city. Its prime location offers easy access to ride-hailing services like Grab and puts you within walking distance of KSL City Mall and a variety of local eateries.
The hotel provides a safe environment complemented by a helpful and friendly staff. Guests can enjoy a wide range of on-site amenities, including a massage center, a restaurant, a convenience store, and a swimming pool. Furthermore, hotel guests can take advantage of a breakfast buffet for just 30 Ringgit. The rooms themselves are notably spacious and maintained to a very high standard of cleanliness.

YYL_SnoopyIf you like a quiet, cosy place that give you a resort feel, then this hotel will be a good choice.
Initially booked this hotel is because wanting to try the Gem Spa, as previously I tried their other outlet which was very good. But sadly due to time constraints, we didn't manage to go the spa.
What I like about this hotel is, there is a hard rock within the hotel. So if you do not want to travel 15mins out, then you can actually chill and eat there.
The room is cosy but sadly that even I had booked the sea view, the view was not directly. I was allocated a room that faced the road and far right is the sea. But the plus point is I have a bathtub.
Overall the service is good, breakfast is average and the occupancy of the hotel is high but you do not feel crowded.
JJust good enoughI was there for 3 nights, booking 2 rooms with queen size bed.
It was a less than satisfactory experience. I specifically requested for rooms away from elevators but they gave me 2 rooms that are right next to their employee elevator. So it means, the elevator is in between of the 2 rooms that I booked for my parents and I. No doubt, the employee elevator meant less activity but it's still next to the elevator where ppl could easily come up and down.
Secondly, we were unable to get the key card to open the door to the corner room that is for my parents. Took 1 trip down to concierge to inform them about the problem. They programmed the key card again and problem still exists. Only after I told them to relocate my parents to a different floor that they mentioned that the battery in the scanner of the door ran out so they have to get technician to change them. So, that left a bad impression from the getgo.
Thirdly, once we got on that floor, it smelled bad. I had to get housekeeping to spray air-freshener to get rid of the smell. I believe it from the drainage, where if water wasn't used or flushed down, it can start to smell. So my question was, how long was the room toilets not cleaned or flushed? If the rooms were occupied, surely it shouldn't smell.
Fourth, the pool was not what is expected of a hotel pool. Even a boutique hotel pool look better than that. But I don't care too much about pools as I am looking for good place to rest after spending a lot of time sightseeing when I'm traveling.
Fifth, noise insulation wasn't good. I could hear the guest in the next room snoring from my room. Let alone if the guest spoke loudly, I could hear.
The staff were polite and kind for the most part. One or 2 staff may not know certain things but they are probably new to the job and are on training. Not a big matter.
It is situated in a good location. It is 20-25 mins away from Johor city square. It is in a nice suburban neighbourhood, but within a commercial round area with a park in the middle. There is even a big Aeon Mall right opposite the hotel. Traffic isn't bad going into that area.
If you're looking to spend a lot of time in the room during your travel, this is not the one for you. If you want a comfortable room to rest for the night, this is good enough.
GGuest UserThe buildings are showing their age a little, however the staff are more than helpful. The food in the restaurant is of a very good standard & we didn’t feel it necessary to go outside to find local restaurants, during our short stay. On the negative side I would like hand towels automatically provided in the rooms and more than one tea/coffee per person/day, a little stingy. It would also be nice if they would clean the pool daily of the large leaves which accumulate on the bottom.

WWINNIE WSLIf you love the sea, beach vibes, and a relaxing atmosphere, this place is an ideal choice for a short escape and offers great value for money. The location is strategic and affordable, making it suitable for a small family looking for a staycation or a break from daily stress. While it may not compare to a five-star hotel, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Do note that during peak seasons, housekeeping services can be slower than usual, possibly due to limited staff. The facilities are decent, and it’s a pleasant surprise that they offer fun activities like ATV, horse riding, etc. along the beach.
One of the highlights is the beautiful sunrise—head to the balcony / beach early in the morning for the best spot, where you can enjoy a scenic view as the sun rises over the horizon.
GGuest UserI booked this resort for the beach & sunrise.
Location is good due to it has nice & clean beach with lots of hermit crabs. Caught a nice sunrise early in the morning as well.
I booked a 2 bedroom apartment. The resort may look outdated but the room is clean, swimming pool & water park are well maintained.
Parking is easy.
The resort has beautiful peacocks (white and colourful).
Breakfast spread is good. Staff are friendly and helpful.
We managed to buy some simpler fireworks at the town. We checked with the staff. The staff was kind to bring us to a nice spot to light up the fireworks in a safe way.
EElenalowSuch a beautiful places for ideal short vacation. Strongly recommended hotel if you visiting Desaru. All the staff very friendly and helpful. Good to be here and they help us decorate the room and free us a birthday cake as well.
NNAT|KRMYFell in love as soon as I stepped in.. Welcomed warmly and friendly by frontline staff.. Very smooth check-in.. Stanley (reception staff) was very friendly and explained everything about the hotel..
Breakfast was mouth-watering and amazing at Seasonal Tastes.. Everything was delicious and various dishes were served.. Westin Signature Nasi Goreng and Westin Club Sandwich came with big portions.. Worth it..
Dinner at Prego Italian restaurant was superb.. Spaghetti and pizza were appetizing.. Must try
when I’m here again..
But what made me happiest and touched was the service from the staff here.. From bell boy, reception, restaurant staff, beach workers, and security.. Everyone I met greeted me warmly and politely..
I personally want to thank the following names for their excellent and friendly service.. They are Stanley, Kinah, Najwa, Cindy, Hidayah, and Lilian.. Special shoutout to Zainab who always smiled while serving customers and wasn't tired of serving me well and sincerely.. Always ensuring I enjoyed my meals at Seasonal Tastes.. Thanks again, and InsyaAllah will come back to Westin Desaru Coast again.. Sad to leave our new family..
Till we meet again.. Tqsm..❤️
MM520038****Fantastic, highly recommend! It's close to the airport, and the service is great. There's even a small bar and a Chinese restaurant inside. The scenery is beautiful, and the golf course in the yard is very well-maintained. Overall, it's excellent 👍
