First time staying in this room. Wanted to check in at 11.30am. Bt room is not ready until 12.30pm, thankfully. Truly enjoy the peace and quiet on the 27th floor. WiFi connection is strong too. Didn't take the breakfast option this time round. Husband managed to take the opportunity to go to the swimming. Its quite full of ppl on the saturday. But managed to get basic swimming done. Except I gt smthg to complain the fridge is not cold and the tv has 1 black line across the middle of the screen. If given option. I will probably pick the same type of room again.👍

Our whole family loves staying at this hotel. We were originally planning to book a serviced apartment this time, but our child really loves AMARI, so we ended up choosing it again. It turns out our choice was right, and we're as satisfied as ever. The only drawback was that one of the three elevators was out of order, so we had to wait a long time to go up and down. 😂

The room was really fantastic—very spacious with a well-designed layout, and the bed was super comfortable with just the right firmness. I must give a special shout-out to the front desk service; they tried their best to accommodate all our requests 👍 and had a wonderful attitude. The breakfast had a decent variety and plenty of options. There weren't many Chinese dishes, but the Western selection was extensive and more than enough! The Thai milk tea was delicious, and the egg station was located just outside the restaurant, offering omelets, sunny-side-up eggs, tea eggs, and soft-boiled eggs 😊, alongside congee and noodles. As for the location, you need to take a taxi to nearby malls, but it's very convenient—just a 5-10 minute ride, and fares in Malaysia are quite cheap. I would definitely stay here again next time!

We booked a stay at Fraser Place Puteri Harbour for 3 people to celebrate my wife’s birthday and opted to pay extra for a room with a ”Sea View.” We also reached out beforehand to ask for a small birthday surprise for her. Unfortunately, the ”sea view” was a major letdown. Instead of an open, pleasant coastal view, it was mostly looking out over surrounding developments and construction with very little actual water in sight—definitely not what you hope for when booking a special occasion room. On a positive note, I do want to give credit to the hotel staff for their service and effort. They did prepare a birthday cake for my wife as requested. While it wasn't set up in the room prior to our arrival as hoped—it showed up in our fridge on the second day after we returned from our day out—we still really appreciate that they remembered and made the gesture.

The location is good, about a 15-minute walk from the checkpoint, which isn't too far. There's a 99 (store) next door. The only thing is that there's no hairdryer in the room, so you need to bring your own, or perhaps I just didn't ask the front desk for one.

Location was amazing! Host was responsive and very helpful:) There was a strong smell of smoke, probably by the previous occupant, and a big pail of water was left in the toilet to shower with cause the shower head not working but we eventually used the rain shower cause that was working so the host managed to engage housekeeping to spray the apartment and to remove the pail:) Though, this trip wasn’t as pleasant as before.. the bidet leaking badly, ventilation fan in toilet was super noisy, water tank for the toilet bowl was also very loud and no table clothes to use to wipe down the tables after use.. these were the negatives but overall, with the host this helpful and responsive, I will definitely stay again cause they’ve been very kind to manage our needs:)

Delightful stay at this newly renovated hotel. Reception : staff r attentive n friendly, welcoming us with delicious freshly baked walnut cookies from their Pastry team. Room is clean n quiet. Bed is superb, the duck feather pillows r godsend from heaven. Shower is very clean, equipped with Crabtree &Evelyn shampoo & etc. Location is great. Just few min walk away from CIQ checkpoint. Must eat curry fish head at Kam Long Zai, Hiap Joo banana cake etc . The team is ever attentive, just a WhatsApp msg away for any inquiry. Probably 1 of the best hospitality among Johor Bahru hotels. Keep up the good work.

Just less than 10 min walk via a covered shelter all the way to the hotel after cleaning the Malaysian Customs. The hotel is very conveniently located, with restaurants, hair salons and massage places to choose from nearly. Our check in was delayed by an hour. However, we didn't expect the hotel offered us complimentary high tea for four and late check out, a big thumbs up for the excellent service. Upon checking in, we found the room to be spacious and clean. The only downside was the bed was a bit too hard for sleeping. If not the haze, we would have had a great view as well. Overall, we have a convenient and pleasant stay

Overall, the hotel is definitely showing its age 😂 Some parts could really use a refresh — the elevators were a little creaky, some of the lift flooring was already coming apart, and we did notice some mould in the bathroom. The shower could also be improved. The water pressure was quite weak, and even with the heater on, the water was basically room temperature at best. There was also some kind of automatic spraying system in the room that was surprisingly loud whenever it went off, although we eventually got used to it. Our room didn’t have the nicest view either, unfortunately. That being said, for an overnight stay, it was still perfectly livable and did the job. The location was convenient, and the staff were nice and pleasant throughout our stay. The saving grace was honestly the breakfast! 😂 There was a teh tarik cart that came around with its own background music, which was SUCH a vibe. There was also someone walking around with a tray of French toast serving guests, and those little touches made the whole breakfast experience unexpectedly fun and memorable. Overall, I wouldn’t expect anything luxurious as the property is clearly on the older side and could use some renovation, but it’s convenient and perfectly okay for a short overnight stay. The friendly staff and breakfast experience definitely helped make the stay much better!

After booking, my husband said he searched from google, same people say some rooms face the Indian temple and cemetery, so I asked the front desk for a room on the other side. They were helped and changed it for us. However, that side faces a nearby apartment with very little privacy, and we could still see part of the cemetery from the side. After that we check again with front deck if possible to change a city-view room, but were told only the twin rooms face the city, while all king rooms face the other side. The twin beds also can't be pushed together because there's a fixed table between them. I think hot spring is one of the selling point of the hotel, as named Hot Spring Resort, but one small pool was warm, while the bigger pools were quite cool in both the ladies' and men's sections. On the positive side, parking was very convenient. The lobby and the lift are just next to the parking area, so it's very easy to find and great if you're carrying luggage.

The service provider was attentive to the administrative details - some of which, were rather complex. Though the external building block appeared pretty rundown, the unit that we stayed was exquisite in furnishings for a very comfortable stay. No food was provided but the two canteens within the compound offered economical and nice food at great convenience.

I've stayed here countless times, as it's a very convenient location. This 'sharing' option that came after 'custom' is truly perfect. This time, there was a slight mix-up; they gave us a room full of Indian guests. Luckily, we were able to switch rooms; otherwise, I don't know how I would have slept at night.

I had a wonderful stay at New York Hotel. The location is super convenient as it is very close to Singapore, with popular shopping malls like KSL City Mall and JB City Square nearby. Getting around is extremely easy, and there are plenty of restaurants and mini-marts right around the hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and offered a fantastic view. The breakfast was also great and well worth the price.  However, there were a few minor details that could be improved. The pillows had a slight unpleasant smell, and it would be much better if extra towels and toothpaste were provided in the bathroom. Despite these small issues, it was an overall great experience, and I will definitely stay here again on my next visit!

Stayed here last weekend and was disappointed with the room condition. The hotel is old and seems poorly maintained. The toilet blind was mouldy, towels were yellowish and worn, sink drain was stained, and there was dust around the bed. The shower glass divider also looked unsafe. Breakfast choices were very limited, and I noticed the chef was not wearing a mask or hair cap. Housekeeping staff seemed to do their best, but hotel management needs to improve the maintenance and upkeep of the property.

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.
