Hotel dengan Pengambilan dari hotel di Muar

I was on a 3 days trip here in Muar, which I had stayed a night each at MUO Resort and MUO Boutique Hotel. Both properties are managed by the same company. To compare, Muo Boutique Hotel is very much town-centric. On the other hand, Muo Resort is more rustic and geared towards the outdoors with a farm house setting (Read my other review on MUO Resort). MUO Boutique Hotel is refurbished from an old shophouse building. Whilst the facade is conserved, its interior is overhauled and decorated into a contemporary space outfitted in retro décor, with nods to the town’s heritage and creative community. At the lobby and hotel corridors, you will notice an assortment of retro paraphernalia — Old TV sets, radios and antique lamps, which is a throwback to the nostalgic years. Opened in 2017, the 24-room hotel offers rooms that are located from the first to the third level (British setting). I had booked a Deluxe Twin Room (No. 204) and was accommodated on the second level. The room offers a view of the Muar River, though obstructed by buildings and trees. While it also faces the road, traffic noise is kept to a minimum with its double pane windows. Although the room measures 15 square metres, it offers all the comfort of the stay. The bathroom is of acceptable size, though there is no partition at the showering area. This resulted in the bathroom floor being wet after each shower. Fortunately it dries up rather quickly. Part of the bathroom is covered with frosted glass, but privacy is ensured. The showering experience is enhanced with a rain shower fitting. The shower pressure is good and the bath towel is both thick and fluffy. Entertainment is limited to local channels and a couple of Cable TV channels such as Aljazzera, CCTV4, Astro Supersport. The Wi-Fi connectivity in the room is good. The amenities in the room include shower gel, shampoo and hair dryer. There are no dental kit, mini fridge and electronic safe. A kettle is provided to make fruit tea, a nice Muar beverage choice offered by the hotel. Although there is no food and beverage outlet in the hotel, you can find plenty of eateries serving local food that are within walking distance. There are also a 7-Eleven and foreign exchange service nearby. Overall, MUO Boutique Hotel is a good accommodation choice in Muar. Its strategic location makes it convenient for travellers who want to stay near the bus terminal (Bentayan Muar Terminal), the various attraction sites and popular food spots. As a guide, these are the walking distances from the hotel to the following places: - Muar Street Art - 200m - Wetex Parade (Shopping mall) - 400m - Glutton Food Street - 650m - Bentayan Muar Terminal - 750m - Muar Cultural Walk - 800m If you are searching for a nice looking Instagrammable hotel located in the town centre, look no further.

This is my first visit to Muar and I had chosen to stay at MUO Resort. I am glad I had made the right choice as it met my stay expectations. I had boarded a coach from Singapore to Muar, whereby I had alighted at Terminal Bentayan Muar. The bus terminal is 2.1km from the resort, which is situated at the fringe of the town centre. After alighting, I headed for lunch nearby, followed by a 20 mins walk to the accommodation. As the resort is nestled inside and not very visible, you would need to look out for its signage at the main road. It is situated between Bei Boutique Hotel and Cok Cai Yan Vegetarian Restaurant. So, keep a lookout for these two places and you will be able to find the property. Upon entering the site, I could not locate the reception. I walked to the back of the compound and enquired with the restaurant staff, only to find out that it is located beside Zuzu Coffee. Opened in 2018, MUO Resort is a 29-room property that offers an interesting theme, whereby the rooms are located in a farm house setting. At the back is a mini zoo compound with animals like goats, sheep, deer, rabbits and cats. There is also a large garden that is ideal for the hosting of events. I had booked the Business Suite (Room No. 205) for my one night stay here. The room is spacious at 28 square metres, which comprised of a living room and bedroom. The rubberwood furnishings supplied by a Muar company, Natural Signature, provided an unique and interesting theme to the room. There are two television units, one in the living room and the other in the bedroom. Besides local channels, there are Cable TV channels like AXN and Astro SuperSport. If you are feeling bored, log in to the bedroom’s SMART TV and be entertained with YouTube and Spotify. The Wi-Fi works well during my stay here. The two air-conditioning units did their job of cooling the room, despite the warm weather. The bathroom has a comfortable size and offers a bathtub, hand held shower and rain shower. The shower pressure is good. However, as there is no partition, the shower water will wet the floor after each bath. In the room, you can find amenities such as bath towels, shower gel, shampoo and hair dryer. Unfortunately, there are no dental kit, mini fridge and electronic safe. A kettle is provided which you can make coffee and fruit tea during your stay here. The resort has two food and beverage outlets namely, Pak Cik Kopitiam (Opens 8am - 2pm) and Zuzu Coffee (Opens 11am - 8pm). Whilst I did not have breakfast there, I headed out to a coffeeshop called Heng Mui, located just 50m away. This is a popular coffeeshop which was frequented by the Sultan of Johor. I had a hearty breakfast which comprised of toast, half-boiled eggs, Nasi Lemak and coffee. Next to this coffeeshop is a 24hrs 7-Eleven store. Come night, a Ramly Burger stall known as Fendy Fast Food operates beside this convenience store. I bought a burger there for supper during my stay there. The resort is a 15 mins (1.1km) walk
